NUNITION PILES OF
 YLADIVOSTOCK SAFE
 FROM RED GUARDS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 14- Vladimir Bashkiroff, assistant minis ter of munitions under KerensKy, who recently arrived from Vladivostock by way of San Francisco, has reported that the munitions of war accumulated at Vladivostock are safe from appro- priation by the Bolsheviki government for use in internal warfare.
 Public opinion in Siberia is against the Utophian measures of the Bolshe- wiki government and this feeling is a more potent factor against the misap- propriation Of munitions lying at Vlad- ivostock harbor,' Mir Baschkiroff said.
 For some weeks past the shipment of freight to those portions of Russia controlled by the Bolsheviki forces has been absolutely prohibited, and feel sure that these enormous supplies of war at present in Vladivostock will yet be utilized effectively against our enemies, the Central Powers, as orig inally intended

NOW WARMED OF THE
 ''fhh!lED FIST"

THE HAGUE, Feb 14.-Holland's s breach of neutrality in consenting to charter to America eighty dutch ships in American ports, has been bitterly derided by the German press and the Cologne Gazette shakes the mailed fist in Hollands face.
 Under the provisions of the Declar- ation Of London, and according to An glo-American marine law. declares the newspaper, ships in the coastwise ser vice of an enemy country become en- emy ships even though they fly neu- tral flag and the owners are neutral subjects. Honce these eighty ships become enemy ships, it argues, and a nation sanctioning such a deal is guilty of breach of neutrality.
 We shall remind Holland of this, J adds the Gazette, when the inevita- ble happens ana demagogues raise the cry Of German atrocity."
 The Dusseldorf Nachrichton speaks of Holland as in the war service of the United States, arguing that the chartered vessels even if they do not touch European waters, set free Am erican ships for war transport service
