EQUIPMENT OF DUTCH SHIPS
President Disregards Hollands Pro.
test Against Seizure of Vessels.

Washington, April 2.-Undeterred
by the sharp tone of the Dutch Off
cial statement on the requisitioning Of
Netherlands ships by the United
States, President Wilson yesterday
signed an executive order taking over
all of the tackle, equipment, coal and
stores on board the requisitioned YES
sells. As in the case of the ships, the
order provides that full compensation
shall be paid to the Dutch owners
Of the incidentals.
The reply of Holland on the re-
QUESTIONING of the ships will not al
ter the determination Of the United
States to use the ships as ii deems
best. Officials here expressed some
surprise at the tone of the Dutch an
swer. One official declared it de-
scended to personalities rather shan
made any argument on the ia1y =,
equity of the case.

GROWING DISSATISFACTION
Russian and Rumanian Peace Terms
Bring Condemnatory Articles in
Heretofore Loyal Newspapers. ! =

Growing dissatisfaction with the
Russian peace is evidenced in extract:
from the German liberal and MAORI
ty socialist press made public yester-
day. The organs of these parties.
hitherto loyal to the government, pro-
fess their dissatisfaction to the point
of threatening to vote against. the
next war credits.
In an article m the government So
cialist Frankfurter Volkestimme of
March G, Herman Wendell, government
socialist leader, says the Russian
peace means the collapse of the Ger
man socialist peace program.
"After this peace with Russia" he
writes, "after this peace with Ruma-
MIA, extorted from choking and col
lapsed adversary, what becomes of
all the howery talk about a peace of
accommodation and the rights of self
determination, disarmament. and a
league of nations but faint reverber-
ance and smoke? The policy Of
might is triumphant. 1t is true that
we (the socialist partly have been
successful in very small things but
for the sake Of these bagatelles should
we vote war credits in order that Ger
man regiments may fulfil the glori-
Gus duty Of overcoming revolution
in Finland? The party can no long
err support this war policy, it cannot
assent to this peace, it cannot vote
new war credits" ~
: The. ,Muenchner Neueste Nachrich-
ten, progressive, warns that the Rus
sian peace will prove a continual
source of danger in future peace nego-
t::ation and afterwards. The Berliner
Tageblatt says that the German was
never so poorly Informed about Rus
STA and predicts that the mass of
Russian sentiment is for the prolonga-
ton Of the war. The Boersenzeitung,
liberal, says the chancellor will have
great difficulties passing his war cred
its this week. The Frankfurter lei
tung prints a resolution of the soci-
alist party Of that city calling on its
representatives in the Reichstag to
repudiate the Russian peace and de-
mand that the, Chancellor make a
clear declaration on Belgium.
Other papers condeming the peace
are Hamburger Echo, Schwaebish
Tagwacht, Mannheimer, Volkstimme
and Chemnitzer Volkestimme.

HUN LOSS OVER 275,OOO.
Some Divisions Lost Half Their Men,
French Dispatch Saws.

Washington, April "a French Of
fetal estimate of the German losses
IN the great battle Oh the western
front puts their casualties at between
275,000 and 100000 men. The Ger
mans are sending most of their
wounded to Belgium, it is declared,
to conceal from the German people
their heavy sacrifices.
1t has been impossible to identify,
the dispatch says, nearly 100 German
divisions. Some divisions had to be
relieved at the end of the first day
after losing more than half their men.
The dispatch follows:
"After an eleven days offensive,
during which the Germans have reck-
lesssly pushed forward their attack:
ing waves, one may gather a fairly
accurate estimate Of their losses.
an the first place, it has been pos
sible to identify nearly 100 of their
divisions since the beginning. OF the
offensive. more than 10 Of which were
twice engaged. Some divisions Had
to be relieved at the end of the first
day, having lost more than half of
their men. Such was the case Of the
Forty-fifth and Eighty-eighth. The
latter has been nearly entirely wiped
out. Among those that have suffered
the most are the 9Th, 18th, 2Sth, and
10th divisions, as well as the End
(Prussian guard), the 10th, the 21st,
and goth divisions Of reserves. .l.
''1n the second place, an enormous
number of corpses, were found iop the
battle ground, and the prisoners on
being questioned acknowledged the
extent of the losses Of thtir -resrec-
tive units. HI IT., -.
"To conceal from the German peo-
pie the heavy sacrifices that their Of
fensive methods required, the Germans
are. sending most Of their wounded
to Belgium. !:
1t is not an eXaggeration to esti-
mate the total Of their losses. at be-
ween 275,00O to 100000 men.

FISH DESERT RHINE RIVER.
Shortage Seriously Affects Food Sit

Washington, April EVEN the
River Rhine has cast its scorn on the
German populace.
s'The Rhine has become more and

The Tageszeitung complains that
so scarce has fish become in the Ger
