Dutch Are Bitter
Against Allies for
Ship Seizure Plan

LONDON, March 90. - The Reuter-
correspondent at The Hague says that
the Second Chamber to-day debated the
shipping question, and the Premier, Dr.
Loudon, in a further statement. ex-
planned that his government had first
intended to resist the associated pow
ers' demand, and only arrived at con-
dltlonal agreement out of consideration
for the imperative interests of pro-
vlsioning the country, providing raw
materials for industries. and with re-
gard for the interests of the feet and
the colonies. He admitted yesterday
that this decision was unlikely to be
accepted by the Allied governments
The government itself, said the Pre-
mier, must bear the respons bilitv for
the decision. which could not be trans
ferred to the Parliament The min
listers only regretted that they had not
previously consulted the party leaders
or the House.
Surveying the course Of the ncgotia
tions, DR.. Loudon emphasized the nee
essity of Holland saving her merchant
| feet, which was vital for the colonies
and taking care that it was not driven
from the Eastern seas. Obviously. he
continued, once the Dutch ships were
rcuuisitioned, Germany would oppose
their sailing, and he concluded by an
nouncng that when Germany demand
ed an exchange of vessels, the Dutcl
government had Immediately notified
/ the American government that it woult
/ be impossible for Holland to provide
vessels for the Belgian relief service.
The speakers who followed the Pre-
mier expressed dissatisfaction with tn
conduct of the negotiations. but wer
most bitter against the associated gov
I ernments.

Last night the enemy observation

shelled heavily and heavy fire was
directed against the enemy lines this

At noon to-day the enemy opened q

action, and after they had fired fifty
shells the Germans ran from the posi-
ton and took their guns with them.
The American guns then shelled the
village at Lahayvillc, where two heavy

stores, were caused.
The German artillery directed most
of its attention to dropping few gas
shells into one or two towns within the
American lines and shelling cross
roads known as Deaths Corner during
the day and night.
Last night American patrols entered
the German front lines at two points
but did not see a single enemy soldier
although they hunted some time. An
other patrol remained in the enemy
wire entanglements all night, hoping
to ambush an expected enemy party
but it did not appear. A third patro
party was discovered by the Germans
who hurled hand grenades and force(

TURK GERMAN SPLIT
WOULDN'T SURPRISE
CAPITAL OFFICIALS
No Official Report However,
Has Reached Washington,
Turkish Newspaper Scores
German Treaty Methods

WASHINGTON, July 30.-No official
advices regarding the reported break
in relations between Turkey and Ger
many have reached Washington, but the
government would not be surprised if
Turkey has been driven to an open rup-
ture, as there is a well founded back
ground for the report.
1t has been known for some months
that a deep and growing telling of dis
satisfaction has existed in Turkey over
treatment by the Germans. Reports that
a Turkish mission recently had been try
ing in Switzerland to cultivate friend
ship with some of the allied govern
ments have been received here 1t would
be natural, officials say, for the Turkish
government to endeavor to find some
new friends among the powers before
breaking with it's old associates.
When the present sultan came to the
throne in Constantinople a few weeks
ago some very strong anti-Germans
came into power. 1t has been a question
whether these men were in strong
enough pOSllAOH openly 10 uSly TIE leu
tonic powers. Many Turkish officials
long have resented the dominating
days of the Germans and have blamed
them for the lack of food and other sup
plies in Turkey, as we'll as the reverses
sustained by the Turkish arms.
Germany promised assistance to the
Turks in the Palestine and Mesopotamia
campaigns where the British forces
have been consistently defeating the
Turks In neither case has the German
pledge of aid been fulfilled and the
Turks are known to be indignant as a
result.
The strained. relations between Turkey
and Bulgaria, which recently resulted
in an armed conflict, according to re-
ports. have caused strong anti-German
feeling in both countries. The Turks
are satisfied that they did not receive
fair treatment in territory when peace
with Rumania was signed, and the Bull
CARS are said to realize that they are
being impoverished by the Germans in
the effort to provide food for the Teu-
tonic soldiers and civil population.

.EX-CzAR COLLAPSES ON
EVE OF HIS EXECUTION
Nicholas Is Propped Against
Post by His ExeCutionerS.
Falls on Steps

AMSTERDAM, July 31.-Given two
hours in which to prepare for the end,
Nicholas Romanoff, former Russian en-
peror, was taken out by his execution
ers in a state of such collapse that it
was necessary to prop him against d
post says the Lokal Anzeiger, of Ber-
lin, which claims to have received from
a high Russian parsonage an account
of the emperor's last hours.
Nicholas was awakened at o'clock
on the morning of the day of his execu-
ton by a patrol of non-commissioned
officers and six men. He was told to
dress and was then taken to a room
where the decision of the soviet coun-
Gil was communicated to him. He was
informed the execution would be carried
out in two hours.
The former emperor. it is added, re-
ceived the announcement of the sentence
of death with great calmness. He re-
turned to his bedroom and collapsed in
a chair. After few minutes he asked
for a priest, with whom he was allowed
to remain unattended.
Subsequently he wrote several letters.
When the escort arrived to take him
to the place of execution, Nicholas at
tempted to rise from his chair, but was
not able. The priest and a soldier were
obliged to help him get to his feet. The
condemned man descended the stairs
with difficulty and once he fell down.
AS he was unable to stand without
support when the place of execution
was reached, he was propped against a
post. He raised his hands and seemed
to be trying to speak, but the rifles
spoke and he fell dead.
Official representatives of the social
revolutionary and Social democratic
parties in Russia have arrived in Stock
holm, says the correspondent, and have
issued a remarkable appeal to the So
cialists of Europe. They call upon the
Socialists to form an international COM
mission, representing all Socialist par
ties, to visit Russia and ascertain by
direct investigation whether the Rus
sian Socialists are not right in declar-
ing that the BolSheviki have brought
widespread evils on Russia, destroyer
industry, caused universal starvation
despotically oppressed the people and
are now concerned only in retaining
power at all cost.
The representatives are Rusannoft
for the social revolutionaries, and Axel-
rod for the Social democrats. They
represented their respective parties In
