which are Of such a nature that the
country has virtually been turned over

it has been informed by high official

are far more serious than those in

Notwithstanding the fact that the
utmost secrecy is being observed says
the Gazette, "it may be stated safely
that the following is not far from the
true terms of the agreement:
"Chlnese expeditionary forces sent to
Siberia shall be commanded by "A Jap

HOLLAND SUBMITS
TO HUN DEMANDS
CRISIS is BELIEVED TO HAVE
PASSED AS RESULT or THE
SUBMISSION OF DUTCH.
Relations Between Holland and Ger.
many Have Been Almost at Break
ing Point for Some Time Because
of Demands of Teusons.

London. Holland has yielded to Ger.
many's demands concerning transporta-
ton and the supply Of sand and gravel,
although it is understood that the
amount Of sand and gravel will be
limited, instead of unlimited, according
to dispatch from The Hague to the
Daily Mail, dated Sunday.
1t is added that a general undertak-
ing win be required from Germany
that the sand and gravel win not be
used for military purposes.
Rumors are current in the Dutch
capital, the dispatch adds, that Or.
John LOudOn, minister of foreign af-
fairs, will resign. These, it is said, are
based on the supposition that he could
not retain office now that his under
taking respecting the gravel must be
revoked
In summarizing the situation, the dis
patch continues, it is felt that the crisis
with Germany has passed, although the
solution is in no wise an ideal one
for Holland.
Relations between Holland and Ger
many have been at almost a break
ing point for some days owing to the
German demands that Holland permit
the transmission over her canals and
railways of sand and gravel from Ger
many to Belgium. The controversy
was three-cornered one, as Great Bri-
tain had warned Holland to take steps
to make certain that the sand and
gravel would not be used for military
purposes.
