The ambassador reported a con-
versation sthat Trotzky had with
some one as late as March IL in
which he said he considered war
unavoidable and advocated an Iron
discipline" for the army.
The former foreign minister ex-
pressed great interest in the report
that Siberia was about to be in

Germany Is Uneasy.
Amsterdam, Wednesday, March
13.-Some sections OF the German
press are becoming uneasy over de-
velopments in the far east.
The Frankfurter Zeitung consid-
ers that the breaking up of Rus
sia into a number of independent
states is bad policy for Germany
and urges that the greatest tact
and prudence be used in dealing
with the border states so that they
will not Gin the future sigh for a
reunion with Russia and become sc
many thorns in Germany's side"
Captain Won SalZmann, the mill
tary critic of the Vissische Zeitune
writes:
Germany too late began to real
ize that the time might come when
the United States and Japan would
see that war is not always the
most profitable way of settling diff
ferences. Germany's Russian pol
icy has played the. game brilliantly
for Great Britain and the United
States. In the same way Germany
has increased Hollands debt OF
gratitude TO Great Britain.
THE consequences are that Ger

The much discussed new way of
issuing the list of American cas-
ualties-without addresses or other
marks of identification-is again
back to General Pershing who is
said to have been the direct cause
of the issuance of the order. Ac-
cording to previous report General
Pershing asked that the home ad
dresses of the men and other marks
of identification be omitted in Civ

keep such Information from getting

SWISS HOLD
NEUTRALITY
IS WR0NCED
Dissatisfied with u. S. and
Allies Stand-Capital
Optimistic.

Berne, Tuesday, March 12.-The
Swiss federal council at a meeting
last night discussed a report on
measures of neutrality which dealt
with the recognition of Swiss neu-
trality by belligerent powers. The
report stated that the declaration
made by the United States had been
called for by the federal council
which had learned of the presence
Of American troops on the Swiss
frontier. Switzerland, it is added,
attaches the highest Importance to
it's neutrality being recognized un-
conditionally.
The Swiss mission to the United
States and its fortunate results
also were mentioned in the report.
Surprised at L. s. and Allies.
President Callonder said he was
surprised at the declaration con-
cerning Swiss neutrality made by
the United States, France and Great
Britain. He said that the federal
council in it's reply had formally
protested, insisting that if the neu-
traIity of Switzerland were violat-
ed 1t would be the duty of SwitZer-
land to defend it and such was the
only conception in conformity with
Swiss treaties.
A dispatch from Berne on Dec. 5
said that the Swiss federal council
had been informed by the United
trality of Switzerland. The Amer
lean note was reported to have de-
elared that the United States was
in complete agreement with the al
lies on the subject of respecting
Swiss neutrality and the inviola-
bility of Swiss territory. so long as
Switzerland maintained neutrality
and the enemy respected that neu-
trality.
Capitals Optimistic.
Washington, March 14-State de-
partment officials do not believe
there is any real dissatisfaction in
Switzerland over the form of as
surances by America and the al
lies that Swiss neutrality will be
respected and they look for no COM
munication on the subject. Since
the American note was dispatched
in December nothing has come to
indicate that it was not we'll re-
Ceiyed.
II was believed here today that
Switzerland might have preferred
a more unequivoval assurance that
the country would not be invaded
by America or the allies even
though German troops entered
Swiss territory. Such assurance
was not given. America and the
allies leaving the way open TO en-
ter and meet German forces II they
should attempt TO pass through
Switzerland TO attack the entente
armies.

uHu
ships sunk will he replaced Mt
the earliest possible time after
the war.
The amount of tonnage made
available to the allies through the
Dutch arrangements is 100000
tons, of which 20 per cent is in the
United States. 10 per cent in Brit
ish ports and Is per cent in other
allied ports.
Same Done With Sweden
A similar arrangement already
made in the case of Sweden is
working satisfactorily to the Swed-
ish owners and shipping interests.
The allied decision finds a legal
basis in the lex angaria, or the law
covering the forcible seizure OF a
ship for public use, under which
belligerent nation may use neutral
tonnage if adequate compensation
is paid. The Germans exercised
this right on British vessels in the
war.
Include Ships in East.
AS regards Dutch ships in other
than ports of Great Britain and the
United States, it is believed the ar
rangement includes a number of
such vessels in far eastern ports.
A telegram from The Hague yes
terday stated that the Dutch for
eign Office had learned that clear
ances had been refused to several
vessels at Singapore.
Tirad of VoitipD
The negotiations with Holland
have been in progress for many
months and it was expected an ar
rangement would be reached last
Christmas. The Germans, however,
were continually bringing pressure
to bear upon Holland and the de-
lay in reaching an agreement op-
ereteu continuously to the advant-
age of Germany and the disadvant-
age of the allies.
Realizing the difficult position OF
Holland, tho allies decided to force
an immediate settlement.
Willie Germany has been oh
structing the employment of Dutch
tonnage by the allies she has been
enjoying the use of Dutch barge
tonnage on the German canals to
an amount greater than the ocean
going tonnage which the allies VIII
obtain under the new Arrangement.
Final Notice Given.
Washington, March Il. The
United States and Great Britain
have presented a final notice to
Holland that unless the pending
agreement for allied use of Dutch
ships is accepted by March 18 the
ships will be taken over for allied
use.
The Netherlands minister, Angus
tus Phillips, had an engagement to
see President Wilson today, and il
was believed he would present a
final appeal for his government
that the Intentions OF the United
States and Great Britain to take
over Dutch shipping be at least
modified.
