soon will call for a large number of
men of this special class They will

CRITICIZE DECEIT.
Social Organs of Germany Infer Rus
sia Has Been Misled by Huns.

Dispatches rom German newspa-
pcrs, received at the State Depart
ment, reveal active social-democratic
and liberal criticism of what they
term breaches of faith with Russia.
The text of the editorials is the
recent statement by the imperial
chancellor that the German emperor
recognizes the independence Of Estho-
MIA and Livonia, and also that he
would welcome with joy" an express
sion of desire by them to form a per-
sonal union with Prussia.
The Vorwaerts said plainly that the
treaty with Russia had stated plain
ly that Livonia and Esthonia were to
remain under Russian suzeralnty.
They were to be occupied by German
police until order was restored. 1t
was contcnded that SO long as this
situation continued, Russia and Ger
many could not be held TO be at peace,
since one of the parties was taking
what suited it, and the other acqui-
esccd, as it is able to do nothing else.

WELL IGNORE TREATY.

Entente Diplomats Certain Kaiser
Will Disregard Agreement With
Holland.
Hollands reported agreement with
Germany, concerning the transpoTta-
ton of sand and gravel through
Dutch territory will be- Regarded by
Germany as '.scrap Of paper"
This was the warning given yes
terday by entente diplomats who be-
lieve that Germany would not hest
tate to attempt an invasion of Holland
if she found that her U-boat CAM
paign could be continued only through
using Dutch ports rs submarine bases.
One official stated that the report
cl agreement carefully avoids any
mention of the possible transportation
OF German troops and war supplies
through the Netherlands, and that
this question can be raised By Ger
many at moments notice.
This official said: "Should the Ger
man army win Amiens and the chan
mel ports, there is little doubt that
the Kaiser, urged on by the German
admiralty, would order clean sweep
Of the North Sea front, respecting
only the rights of Denmark.
Holland could not greatly aid Ger
many in foolstuffs, nor would the
question of great railroad facilities be
of enough Importance to bring . de-
claration of war. But until her u
boats have halted Great Britain and
America from landing fighting forces
in France, Germany must have u
boat bases if she is to wage sue
cessful submarine war. The ports o:
the Netherlands offer her ideal naval
bases from which to attempt drive
against the heavily guarded route
between Dover and Calais.
Although it is possible that Ger
many, having won the Channel ports
would seek a great naval decision, it
is far more probable that she would
attempt rather to press the U-boat
campaign from Hollands ports.

.
aging Sign.
London. MAY 4.-The- best indica-
ton of the enemy defeat in northern
Flanders, in the view of London news
papers, is the evident imminence of a
renewal Of the peace offensive. The
German papers emphasize the report
that the POPE IS about to issue a new
peace note, while the German peace
agents are busy in neutral countries.
Meanwhile tie troubles Of the Aus
trian Empire are apparently coming
to a head. The Cabinet crises in Aus
tria and Hungary are still unsettled.
The Arbeiter Zeitung, Of Vienna, de-
nounces Hungary for starving Austria
and declares that the imports from the
Ukraine are still remote and empty
stomachs cannot afford to wait. The
arrival of Czecho- Slavak troops on the
Italian front, under the Italian front,
has disquieted the Austro-Hungarlan
leaders, VINO fear the effect on their
Slav troops. Recently some of these
men pursuaded number of Austrian
Czechs to desert, which the Italian
barrage between the Austrian sup,
port and frort lines enabled them tt
do.
An English correspondent on the
Swiss frontier has received informa
ton that the populations of Austria
and Hungary are starving and sccth'
ing with revolt, which, he predicts
will break out when the western CT
fensivc has been brought to stand
still.
