dorff, chief quartermaster general

These statements were made during
an interview with German newspaper
correspondents at Great Headquarters

Field Marshal Hindenburg was in

convinced that for Germany, force was
needed to bring about peace. The
chief quartermaster general said con-
corning the fighting which has since
broken out in northern France:
"The final fighting in the west, OF
course, cannot be compared to the
fighting in Galacia or in Italy. The
enemy has a powerful reserve army
at hand which he may move on his
splendidly laid out railway system as
he sees fit.
"Must Be Fought Out"
"But however heavy the fighting
may be, the battle must be fought out
because, without it, peace is not at
tainable."
Wilhelm Hegeler, correspondent OF
the Beliner Tageblatt. in reporting the
interview, described Won Hindenburg

PART OF PLAN


WASHINGTON, April 23.-News OF
the British raid upon the German sub
marine bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge
and of the attempt to bottle up those
harbors was received with great in
terest at the navy department The
move was taken as another definite
step in the carefully planned cam
paign against the U-boat which, it has
been repeatedly predicted, would be-
Gin to show material results about
this time.
The recent raid of the British grand
feet into the Cattegat when ten Ger
man trawlers were sunk was said to
have been another of the steps to pre-
vent the egress of the submarines.
It has long been established that the
principal bases OF submarines which
operate In those waters around the
British isles are in the captured Eel
gian ports. The wharves, workshops
and basins of those harDors have been
frequently bombed by allied airmen.

HOLLAND NEARS
BREAK WITH HUN
(By Associated Press.)

THE HAGUE, April %. - The
Dutch cabinet met yesterday in extra
ordinary session.
The British foreign office, accord
ing to the London Daily News hive
learned that the relations between
Holland and Germany as very strain
ed. The dispute about the supply of
gravel from Holland to Germany was
said to have the cause. Officials and
diplomatic circles in London were re-
ported to look upon the siuation with
uncertainty. Rumors were current
that an ultimatum had been deliversd
by Germany to Ho1lo4d: go
The Handelsbald on Monday ex-
pressed the belief that Germany
would not be hesitant to use commun-
ication through Holland, even at the
risk of war; if she believed by doing
so, victory could be obtained on the
western front.
1t was reported recently that Ger
many looked with disfavor upon Hol-
the United States and Great Britain of
Dutch tonnage in American and Brit
ish ports.
The Vaderland says an agreement
has been reached regarding one point
which has caused friction between
Holland and Germany. but that the
old dispute concerning the transport
of sand and gravel to Germany con-
tinues to be stumbling block. Ger
many desires to resume the practice
of shipping gravel through Holland,
but the Dutch government offers OBJ
jections on the ground that new cir
cumstances have arisen.
