HUN PRESS MAKES
VICIOUS THREATS
Peeved Over Hollands Move
on Shipping Question.

Amsterdam. March lin discuss
ing the decision of the entente allies
regarding Dutch shipping. the German
newspapers declare it will be followed
by INVESTIGATION Of submarine warfare.
The Frankfurter Zeitung says:
Under the proposed circumstances
no really neutral Dutch ships will ex-
list. Germany will have no reason
longer to leave open free passage to
the North sea, which was created only
In the interest OF Dutch shipping. This
passage has only been a nuisance to
our submarines, whose warfare in flu
ture will be more effective. Unfor-
tunately Dutch ships will suffer more
and the supplies promised Holland by
the entente will be exposed to uncer-
tainty."
The vossische Zeitung terms the step
taken by the allies a monstrous act Of
violence. The Tagesblatt says:
Holland naturally must renounce a
further supply Of coal and other In
dispensablc materials from u.s."

East Not 40 Alive as West.
Despite the receptions we got in
the east. a casual observer couldn't
help realizing that the people Of the
west are more alive to the war than
are the fasteners. This Is true from
outward appearances. at least. It may
be that the east has passed the first
excitable period and has settled down
to fight 1t out
Camp Merritt can't be favorably
compared to Camp Lewis. 1t has
neither the ideal location nor the mild
climate that make Camp Lewis one Of
the best environments in the country.

tar It's freedom Of action without IN
surfing peace to the nation 1t as

must be free to adopt Of her own
voiition a policy which shall keep her
outside of the great international
competitions and permit her, II such
new danger should threaten. to take
any necessary measures to defeat
the hostile designs directed against
her.
The future OF the country will de-
pend on the wisdom and the will OF

est Of the powers in the maintenance

ternal confirmation. What weight
and what confidence. for example.
could Belgium attach to the re-
newal by Germany OF an agreement
which has been SO brut2lly and
cynically broken? Suoh a promise
would be purely derisive.
