HOLLAND COMEDIES
POINT TO GERMANY
Demand Regarding Shipments

CRISIS BELIEVED OVER
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 29.-Holland has
yielded to Germany's demands concern

and gravel, although it is understood
that the amount of sand and gravel
will be limited instead of unlimited.

will be required from Germany that
the sand and gravel will not be used
for military purposes.
Rumors are current in the Dutch
capital, the dispatch adds. that DR..
John Loudon. minister of foreign af-
fairs. will resign. These, 1t is said. are
based on the supposition that he could
not retain office now that his under
taking respecting the gravel must be
revoked.
In summarizing the situation, the dis
patch continues, it is felt the crisis
with Germany has passed. although the
solution Is in nowise an ideal one for
Holland.
(Relations between Holland and Ger
many have been at almost breaking
point for some days. owing to German
demands that Holland permit the trans
mission over her canals and railways
Of sand and gravel from Germany to
Belgium. The controversy was three
cornered one, as Great Britain had
warned Holland to take steps to make
certain that the sand and gravel would
not be used for military purposes. 1t
had been reported that all leaves a alb
sence in the Dutch army and navy had
been withdrawn temporarily. German
newspapers have condemned Hollands
hesitancy in meeting Berlin'S demands
in harsh terms.l

French Morale High.
The losses of the Germans have
been appalling. In contrast with
the position Of the Germans is the
excellent high morale of the French
soldiers. Each Frenchman is con-

The German attack in the sector

intensity OF the entire new battle

until Thursday afternoon.
Starting shortly after o'clock

seven i'm the evening. The French
front lines and the roads i'm the

being followed by drum fire which
drenched the rear.
