Washington, April 25.--tiemany is
holding the mailed fist over Holland
to enforce sanction Of supply shipments
through that country into Belgium.
In her desperate efforts TO drive to
la decision on the west front, Teuton
diplomacy is once more showing its
ruthless disregard for the rights OF
tneutrals.
The situation appeared franght with
war possibilities, but there was a
strange dearth of official news here
concerning Developments.
If war comes, Germany would un-
doubtedly seek to plow through Hol-
land, opening path to Belgium
which she wants for troops and sup
plies Hollands border is well protect
ed by highly trained troops, but il is
doubtful that the Dutch could with
stand long any serious attempt at in
vasion.
1t is held certain here that Holland
will not agree to Germany's demands
unless she is willing to sacrifice her
neutrality.
Holland knows that if she throws
her lot in with the Germans the allies
are in position to take virtually all
her ships and her colonies.
Germany's Hand Forced
Hence, the little neutral's position
becomes gravely dangerous. If the
British have succeeded in bottling up
the German U.boat outlet at Ostend
and Zeebrugge, Germany is forced to
take drastic action in Holland OF see
her submarine campaign utterly fail
German designs on The Netherlands
are Of long standing. Some years be-
fore the war German influence sought
to drive measure through the Dutch
parliament to forsify the mouths Of
the Scheldt- affording protec-
tion against attack from the sea. This
was aimed at Great Britain, and Eng
land protested so strongly as to con
stitute virtual ultimatum and the bill

.SEACOCKS Open
/. Liner ST.PAUL IS
SUNKAT HERDOCk
Had just Come From Brook
lyn Drydock Where She
Was Repaired
LYING ON HER SIDE AND
BUT PARTLY SUBMERGED
500 Dry Dock Workers and
Part of Grew On Board
No Lives Lost

New York, April 25.-The huge Am
erican liner st. Paul sank at her dock
at the foot of Twenty First street short
ly after noon today. Her seacocks are
supposed to have been left open, either
from accident or design. As far as ia
known there was no loss of life.
The steamer was coming from the
Brooklyn drydoek, where she had been
undergoing ncpairs since her arrival
from European port, April Is.
As she was warping into her berth
alongside pier 81, in the North River
she began to sink.She settled slowly into
the ooze of the river bed and is now ly-
ing on her port side, only partially sub
merged
A heavy guard Of soldiers and police
men was instantly thrown about her.
The only information given out was a
police statement that it was believed
her seacocks had been opened. Whether
this was through earlessness at the
Brooklyn drydock or whether it was
done while she was enroute to her berth,
is not known.
This phase is being investigated by
federal authorities.
No Time LostsN
Ambulances were rushed to the pier,
but it was declared there had been no
loss Of life. Police and military officials
were checking up the members Of the
crew, however, so that each member will
be accounted for.
Ne one will be allowed to enter or
leave the pier until the investigation
has been completed.
The investigation as to opening the
seacocks was extended to the Erie basin,
where the big liner had been laid up.
"We believe a hole was left in her
side, !" said one investigator.
After checking up Of all aboard, it
was announced this afternoon that two
of the workmen had been injured.
The st. Paul was towed from the dry
dock by tugs. She started to settle just
as she rounded the end Of the wharf.

Paw Paw township was generous in CIV
ING it's money to the War Chest. Paw
Paw township DOUBLED it's quota on the
Third Liberty Loan. Paw Paw Township
has yet few dollars in every mans
pocket which at the call of the Govern
ment will be invested in War Savings
Stamps to equip our Army and Navy to
WIN THE WAR.
County Chairman MeTiman urges that
the School meeting on June 28th, in each
district remain in session until the quota is
raised and that EVERY PERSON IN EACH
DISTRICT ATTEND AND PLEDGE THEIR
SHARE, also that a report be made to him
of those failing to subscribe for stamps with
the reasons.
This Call is made throughout the whole
country to provide ARMS, SHIPS, ETC, to
equip our boys. 1t is an emergency.
Let all respond eagerly if it takes the last
dollar.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1918-06-21

The officers and members of Board of
Education are appointed committees to see
that the money required for War Savings
Stamps is raised in each district. The Dis
trict War Board will assist.
The quota of the several school districts
is based upon $40 for every thousand dollars
of property in the district.
Tax payers and wage eaIners alike are
urged to economic and save for the Govern
ment and invest in War Savings Stamps.
This is not a gift to the Government.
You are asked to pledge that you will save
a certain amount of money this year and
invest in War Savings Stamps.
You have the opportunity of investing it
25 cents at time if you wish.
A war stamp that costs SALT in June will
yield you $500, January 1st 1923. The
stamp costs in July $41S, in August $419
The Government pays per cent compound
interest, on the money invested.
The plan is that in each school district
the matter be considered and pledges solicit
ed from the goth, of June to the 28th.
June 18th, is National War Savings Day
which is the last day of the drive at which
time Paw Paw must have in pledges and
stamps $4,000
In these days it is WORK or FIGHT. If
we WORK the proceeds of our labor must
be invested with the Government to WIN
