HOLLANDS SHIPS
TAKEN BY ALLIES
THREATS OF GERMANY CAUSE
DUTCH GOVERNMENT TO RE
FUSE AGREEMENT.

Washington, March 21.-Upon Hol-
lands refusal, in the face of Ger
man threats, to put into effect her vol
untary agreement for restoring her
merchant marine to normal activity,
the United States government last
night requisitioned all Dutch ships in
American waters. AT the same time
Great Britain was taking the Dutch
vessels over in British ports.
A total of II ships of probably 600,-
600 tons was added to the American
merchant marine by the requisition-
ing Another 100000 tons are put into
allied service by Great Britain's ac-
ton. Most of them will be used in the
food carrying trade between the Unit
ed States and Europe.
President Wilson's proclamation TAX
ing over the ships was issued only
after word finally came from London
that Hollands delayed reply was re-
lection of the British-American de-
mand The government had waited
more than 4S hours beyond the time
when Holland had been requested to
make decision as to whether she
would carry out the original pact or
submit to requisitioning. Every eff
fort was made to avoid drastic action
as transfer by agreement was sought
rather than by seizure, although the
latter is an exercise of sovereign
rights Justified in international laws
and practiced by all nations.
Although the ships had been taken
over without any formal agreement,
the United States proposes to carry
out scrupulously the terms of the
original pact, so that Holland shall
receive ample fopdstuffs and will be
protected in her colonial trade by hav-
ing sufficient tonnage to maintain its
commerce.

ing from correspondents at the front
that forty German divisions were en-
gagged in the fighting on the front of
attack and that the greatest concen-
tratiOn of artillery in the worlds his
tory was operating, gave the British
people an idea of the tremendous
struggle on the west front. But moth
ing in the dispatches either from
Field Marshal Haig or from the news
paper correspondents, had prepared
them for the German claim which
reached London late last night of the
capture of 10000 prisoners and 200
guns as the result of the first days
fighting in the new German offensive
and the disposition at the moment is
TO regard the claim as an exaggera-
ton.
According to the correspondents, the
British Withdrawals, where they were
necessary, were carried out In good
order from advanced positions which
in the nature of the fighting Of these
days it had been expected would be
given up. These positions were gen.
orally believed to have been lightly
held.
1t had been intimated that the Ger
mans would claim the capture of sew
eral villages, but the dispatches gave |
no hint of their names, saying only |
that 1t was inadvisable TO indicate the |
present British line, because this |
would give Information to the enemy. |
All dispatches emphasize the heavy |
cost to the Germans of the first days |
struggle, and depict the ground from
which the British have withdrawn as
being Uttered with German dead.

WAR DEPARTMENT SAYS
SOLDIERS CANNOT VOTE

Washington, March PA formal
recommendation against any attempt
to record the soldier vote in France
for elections had during the war has
been prepared by the war department.
After learning the opinion of General
Pershing and his staff and of depart
ment officials on this side, it was
learned the department has determined
that no practical method of taking the
votes of members of the expeditionary
forces can be devised.
The subject was brought up recently
by western state, which proposed a
scheme of its own for obtaining the
vote of its citizens in France. While
it might be possible for single state
to accomplish this, the army holds
that extension of that privilege to all
states would impose burden upon the
military forces at the front that would
seriously impair their efficiency.

SUPREME COUNCIL
. CONTROLS ARMIES
DECISION FOR TIME AND PLACE
OFFENSIVE RESTS WITH
MEMBERS OF BODY
ITALY MAY SEE OFFENSIVE
Allies Have Pooled Reserves of Men,
Thus Forging a Weapon of Ire
mendous Value.-CamoufIaq
Thrusts to Be Expected.

| Washington, March 20-The key to
the 1918 riddle of the western battle
front is in the hands of the supreme
| war council at Versailles.
Decision as to the time and place
of major offensives by the allies rests
with that body.
1t directly controls also, officials
here believe. new weapon forged
during the winter, with which to make
effective its plans of grand strategy.
That weapon is believed to lie in a
pooling of the army reserves of the
allies armies, permitting overwhelming
concentrations at selected points of at
tack.
Exact Scope Still Secret.
The supreme council was created
under the urgent insistence of Presi-
dent Wilson for aggressive action this
year, based on co-ordinated plans and
under the direction of single agency.
The exact scope of the councils au-
therity has never been disclosed.
1t was said by both Premier Lloyd
George and Lord Curzon, however,
in explaining the status of the British
imperial general staff and the com
mander in the field, Sir Douglas Haig,
that certain British forces had been
assigned to the councils control.
Decision by the war council, Off
Gals here believe, as to the field where
these and similar forces from other
armies are to be concentrated, will
show where allied blows at the Ger
man defenses are destined to fall. If
there is to be no German drive, as the
war department predicted in its week
ly war review, the council will not
be forced to hold its reserves for de-
fensive purposes and can devote this |
new agency to all attempts to smash |
weak points in the German line.
Opinion as to the sectors offering |
the best opportunity for allied assaults |
varies widely here. There is substan- |
tial agreement, however, that the Ital-
an front may in fact become the main
heater of the war this year. Austro-
German concentrations and possible
)ffensives on that front. also noted
~ the weekly war summary. may rep
resent the recognition of this view by
he German high command.
Some camouflage.
In any event, even though the SUI
,reme war council might have decided
o make the effort to break through
n Italy, it is believed the first moves
n the game would be played in France
nd Flanders. Drives with all the ap-
'earance of being the eral offensives,
would undoubtedly accompany or pre-
EIDE the main thrust.
The pooled allied reserves under di-
ection of the supreme council would
make possible a campaign of such ma
ire designed to keep the German COM
land perplexed as to which assault
7ould be driven home. in that posi-
ion adequate, German forces of select
troops would necessarily be held
eady to support either line, and they
lust be held somewhere in Germany

OUTPUT OF AIRPLANES
WILL BE TREMENDOUS
American Factories About to Enter
Upon Quantity Production
Will Tax transportation.

Washington, March 20. - Charges
that there has been proffteering in air.
plane manufacture, recently made by
-Gutzen Borglum, are understood to be
under discussion at the meeting of the
aircraft board.
Although the board has been inform
ed that Borglum's statements to Pres
ident Wilson were not responsible for
the war departments appointment of a
special investigating committee, board
members indicated that they wanted
to inquire into the charges and were
anxious to have H. Snowden Marshall,
chairman of the investigation commit
tee, present at the meeting.
A careful survey of the situation
that the period of quantity production
of airplanes is about to begin. BY
July, they say the flow of fighting
planes to France will tax available
shipping to carry it.
To add to the difficulties experience
ed, there have been many changes in
air warfare since the American pro-
gram was undertaken.
Attention was concentrated last year
upon producing faster single-seat, or
so-called solo machines. This was the
case when the United States entered
the war, and preparations were made
to rush to completion machines of this
type.
Favor Two-seaters.
As the months passed, however,
thought abroad changed to favor faster
two-seaters, for various reasons. The
day of the solo fighter appeared to
be past. Now, however there are in
dications that the one-man air battles
may be renewed. AS vet the change is
expressed only in unofficial opinion.
Extensive contracts had been let for
and plans for rushing
OF this type ahead of all
other work had been made Over
night they were abandoned. General
Pershing cabled recommendations to
hat end and General Pershing's
wishes control this as well as every
,ther element of war preparations
