WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE
United States and Great Britain have
presented a final notice to Holland that
unless the pending agreement for al
lied use of Dutch ships is accepted by
March Is the ships viii be taken over
for allied use. The Netherlands min
lister, Augustus Phillips, had an engage
ment to see President Wilson today and
it is believed he will present final APP
peal for his government that the intcn-
tion of the United States and Great
Britain to take over Dutch shipping at
least be modified.
In addition to being recompensed for
the loss Of any OF the ships the Dutch
are to receive liberal compensation i'll ex-
port privileges OF breadstuffs which they
need badly Officials and diplomats here
have no fears that the taking over of
the ships will force Holland into the war,
as had been predicted in some quarters.
They are certain that Holland will con
tinue her policy of neutrality. The Off
cial explanation here is that Holland OBJ
yiously is in a state of duress, terrorized
by the German submarine menace
The necessity of feeding the neutral
nations OF the world, officials add, calls
for the use Of every available ton OF
shipping. The United States and Great
Britain official say they will 60 no farther
than Holland proposed to 60 until Ger
man threats prevented putting into effect
the voluntary agreement already nego
tiated.
Hollands interests will be safeguardeC
in every way with ample food supple
and the United States and Great Britain
will undertake to facilitate the continu
!. ance of such sailings to the East Indial
colonies and provide bunkers for sucl
ships so that Holland will be relieves
$ from any apprehension as to the futur
d of her colonies and their trades
Officials reterate that the taking owe
T of Dutch ships involving nothing new j
e international law, but is an exercise G
o recognized sovereign rights such as hav
been exercised by Germany herself

through it. Its situation near the great
waterways of the Dniper and the Dncis
ter makes IL the natural outlet for the
exports of the southwestern provinces.
