Rejection of German Demands May

London, April 24.-Germany, &C
cording to reliable reports from The
Hague, rs engaged in a strenuous eff
fort to force an issue with Holland,
and the almost continuous delibera-
tions of the Dutch cabinet, which were
reported to. be still under way late
last night, lend added gravity to the
situation. As her o~stentatious "cause
for grievance" Germany is using the
controversy over Dutch traffic in sand

is believed to be of military-naval ma
ture.
Ludendorff and Capellc, the mas
tiers of the German army and navy,
respectively, have found the time ripe,
it is conjectured, for a utilization to
the utmost advantage OF Germany of
the tremendous strategic possibilities
that would accrue from the free use
by the German army o. Dutch terri
tory and by the kaiser's navy Of the
Dutch coast, the latter particularly
advantageous in future operations
against England.
To win this free use German diplo-
macy has vainly worked for more than
three years, and the opinion prevails
here that realizing the hopelessness Of

means and prevailing upon her 70

burg, the speaker announced that
nothing must be said regarding the
question of the future Of Alsace-Lor-

MASTERS OF DYE INDUSTRY.
British Company Has Improved on
German Product.

+, London, April "a. = The British
Dyes Company, promoted by the
Board of Trade with the assistance of
the Treasury to take the position held
before the war by the Germans, has
been at work for more than two years,
and is able to report good progress.
The works at Huddersfeld, near
Leeds, have reached the proportions
OF a small town, and are still expand
ing. The directors have gone to the
heart of the German success.
1t was not by making dyes, but by
making Intermediates" that the Ger
mans forced the whole world to. de-
pend on them in this great industry.
Now Intermediates" are being made
at Huddersfeld and the most elabor-
ate and expensive plant used in the
whole undertaking is employed in this
essential branch, which absorbs eight
tenths of the capital outlay.
Compounds have been devised and
dyes produced even beyond the !ngen-
uity of the Germans, for the British
Dyes Company did not have to start
st the beginning. but where Germany
left off in August. 1914. The compa-
ny has been able to manufacture nitric

ENDS LIFE IN JAIL.
Detroit Police Believe Man May Have
Killed Others.

Detroit, Mich, April 24.-Helmuth
Schmidt, a German, of Royal Oak,
Mich, after confessing to the burning
of the body OF Augusta Steinbach, a
domestic of New York who was lur-
ed to Detroit through a matrimonial
advertisement in q New York news
paper by Schmidt, killed himself IN
the city Jail yesterday afternoon.
Schmidt, who admitted Turing the
girl from New York in March, 1917,
said she took poison at his home IN
Royal Oak and that he first buried
the body and then, fearing detection,
had dug it up, cut it in pieces, and
burned it in the furnace. He said
that neither his wife nor daughter,
who have been held as accessories,
were home when Miss Steinbach kill
ed herself.
Shortly after making his confession
the mar was taken back to his cell.
Sitting on the floor he killed himself
by pulling down on his head the iron
bed that folded Up against the wall.
Officials believe Schmidt killed Miss
Steinbach. They also are of the op:n-
ION that he knew about the mysterious
disappearance of another woman. Ac-
cording to the Highland Park police, a
woman who was Schmidt's ~housekeep-
er before he was married disappeared
and never was accounted for.
At schmidt's home were found
hundreds of pieces of jewelry ard
man dresses, silks and furs. There
is some question as to whether all
these belonged to Miss Steinbach or
the schmidts, and authorities see in
them possibility that there were 9th
er victims.
Pontiac, Mich, April 2!.-Mrs.
Schmidt. when told her husband had
confessed burning the body of Angus
ia Steinbach, and had committed sui
eide. exclaimed: "There is none left
to attest my innocence except one,
and he cannot speak. 1t is God"

PEACE BID NOT EXPECTED
Report of Prediction in Vienna Paper
Discredited Here.

Washington, April "a A new
peace plea by the Pope is not expected
here. The report in the Vienna Neu-
este Nachrichten predicting that the
HOLY Father will make a new plea to
the consciences Of the nations as soon
as a period in the Western front fight
ing has been arrived at is described
as a thought fathered by a wish. The
Neueste Nachrichten, it is pointed out,
is one of the German papers readiest
to criticize the government. tits also
believed that this paper would be
among the first in Germany to, admit
that Germany has failed of its obJec-
tives on the Western front despite the
frightful cost in lives.
When such a contingency arrives,
it is pointed out, Germany would
be only too glad to have a peace
move come from the Pope. The
.Pope's attitude has been sketched
here with some color of authority
however. He is represented as unwlll-
ing to make another peace offer UNI
less fairly sure of its success. In
view of the well settled determination
of the allies to fight on until the
German military power is broken be-
yond repair, it is not believed that the
Pope will come forward in the near
future. !
+; Considerable change, it IS reported,
has taken place in the sentiment on
the war in all European neutral capt.
tolls, and also at the Vatican, follow
ing the revelations of Prince Lich-
nowsky's memorandum, and the frank
admission of this prominent German
that the present rulers of his country
on whose policy he places the blame
FOR the whole world war, are utterly
disqualified from any attempt to make
peace with the allies.

SANK U-BOAT.
Steamer Durango Quit Fight Only
When Out of Shells.

Halifax, n. s., April 24.-Arriving
here yesterday for the first time since
he sailed for an English port last Au-
gust in command Of the Furress Line
steamship Durango, the captain OF the
Durango confirmed a report that the
vessel was sunk by a German subma-
rine On that voyage. The ship had
been understood in marine circles to
have been destroyed, but no announce
ment OF her fate bad ever been made.
Her captain said he and the crew
did not abandon the Durango until at
ter a 5-hour running fight, during
which the twentieth shot fired by the
merchantmen sank The attacking un-
darsea craft.
A second U-hoat appeared on the
s~tarboard beam, the, captain declared,
and another lively duel began. This
submarines coming tower was smash
ed, he said, but she was able to con-
tinue the battle. The Durango's shells
finally became exhausted and the or
der to abandon ship was given. A
British patrol vessel rescued captain
and crew. The Submarine, after sink
ing the Durango, retreated on the sur.
face rather than risk submerging with
her shattered tower. One man on the
merchantmen was slightly wounded.
