 TAKE DUTCH U-BOAT
Crew Which Escaped From San Francisco in January Vio-
 late Neutrality.

San Francisco, March 19.-A sub- marine of the Dutch navy was cap- tured at Batavia by sailors from the informed German steamer Graf Von Luttwitz who succeeded in evading the marine patrol and putting to sea with their prize last January, ac- cording to Fritz vOn Ebelshon, an employe of the Dutch East Indian government in Sumatra, who is here today on the way to Holland. The capture was vigorously censored by the Dutch officials, von Ebelshon said.
 This submarine was sent out by the Royal government for patrol duty in East Indian waters, he said. "One night during the absence of the crew at reception rendered them by col onists, when only an anchor watch was left aboard the submarine sail ors from the interned German steam CT Graf won Luttwitz rowed alongside, boarded the submarine and after d fight in which a Dutch guard was killed took possession of the vessel.

HYPOCRISY AND BRUTALITY
 CHARGED BY VON HERTLINC
Now Second Nature and Has Become Worse, He Says, in Speech Before Reichstag Today.

COpcnhaGcn, March 18-Chancel1or von Hertling on the first reading in 7ho Reichstag of the peace treaty with Russia today, declared he did not wish to discuss the opinions of Ger1nany's enemies regarding the trt atty.
 Hypocrisy, the chancellor added. ''has become second nature to the enemy whose untruthfulness is made worse by it's brutality. Every at tempt at calm explanation and every real deliberation must fail when the enemy, at the very moment they are laying a heavy hand On neutral country, dare to speak of a policy guided by complete unselfishness.
 The treaty with Russia contains uc conditions disgraceful to Russia, Ii the provinces breaking away from Russia say it is in accordance with their own wish and the wish is &C., cepted by Russia.'
 The imperial chancellor declared Courland an Lithuania were united to Germany politically, economically and miIitarily, and added:
 "LiNonia and Estnonia are the eastern frontier fixed by the treaty, but we hope they also will have close and friendly relations with Germany, not however, to the exclusion of their friendly relations with Russia. Po- land is not mentioned in the treaty ard we shall endeavor to see if it's possible to live in stable and good ne1ghborly relations with the new state.
 If the Reichstag adopts the peace treaty, peace on the whole eastern front will be restored as I announced Feb. 24, but among the Entente pow CTS there is not the least inclination to finish this terrible war. The re- FpOnsibility for bloodshed will be upon the heads of those who wish continuation of bloOdshed."

FISHERY LNEEISTIG ATION.

Boston, March 19.-A delegation representing lobstermen appeared to- day before a special legislative com- mission which is Investigating the high cost of fish to explain why the price of Holsters has been advanced. At recent hearings fishermen from Glouchester and other ports declared that the increased cost of labor had made it necessary to put prices up Denial was made of the charge that this was due to com bination among dealers, and the lObstermen came here with evidence to support the contention made heretofore that the margin to profit at the new selling rate gave them only a slight return on their investments and labor.

man l knew rushed up to me and said:
 Didn't I tell you the Americans would come sooner of later? I cannot say whether the machines actually were American but the striking thing was the evidence that there had been general skepticism whether American planes ever would come and equal fear of them when they do."
 The traveller added that aIthOuch the machines merely passed over Muel- helm on their way to Coblens it was not until o'clock that the "all clear" signal was sounded.
 Coblenz is the capital Of the Rhine province of Prussia. The British wa1. office announced on March 12 that on that day British aviatOrs had dropped q ton of bombs on factories. stations and barracks at Coblenz.
 Berlin always has denied any ser lous losses caused by Allied air raid,! over German territory but if fifty were killed at Coblenz the raid resulted in more serious losses than ever has benn reported from Germany before.

Russians On Wilson's Message.

Moscow, March 16 (By the Asso- ciated Press)-President Wilson's message to the Russian people is very significant and is a limited recogni- ton of the Soviet government in the opinion of the non-s socialist and con- servative newspaper Ranneye Outro The message shows the determination of the United States not to interfere in Russian internal affairs, adds the newspaper, which continues:
 Tn these grave days there is great moral support in the firm intention of the powerful transatlantic repub- lie to secure for Russia complete sov- ereignty and independence in her own affairs. The United States, which was declared to be capitalistic by the Bolshcvilli, proves faithful to the principles proclaimed by her and tho sincerity of her position was ac- knowledged by the Bolsheviki in the hearty reception the Soviet congress gave to the presidents message"
 The Izvestia, the official govern ment organ, characterizes President Wilson's message as "document Of the greatest political importance" and adds:
 ITO understand correctly it's value is essential to our cause and to the interest of the great Russian revolu- tion."
 The editorial declares that although the United States is an imperialistic government struggling for the Rus sian market, it is far less of menace than Germany or Japan which are near neighbors and seek to annex Russian territory and con- trol the policies of Russia as well as to make a commercial conquest.
 With the United States" con- tinues the Tzvestia, i've could have misunderstanding, clashes and strug- eles but also an agreement. With Germany, and probably Japan if she should realize her devilish plan of an invasion Of Siberia, we could have only a death struggle.
