HOLLAND is READY TO
MAKE SHIP CONCESSION
Doesn't Look Good to Washington
and Plan to Take Over Tonnage
Will BE Carried Out.

Washington, March 1S.-Holland
on the eve OF her shipping being ta-
ken over by the United States and
Great Britain, has given evidence of
readiness to make Volunteer
agreement to that propose even
agreeing that the ships shall be sent
through the war zone
In view of the continued pressure
upon the Netherlands by Germany in
opposition to such step officials
here were mystifed at the sudden
change in the situation and began TO
speculate upon what arrangements
Holland might have made with Ber-
lin.
1t was stated in official quarters
that Holland probably would make
liberal concessions to Germany when
she turns the ships over to the allies
but ii was feared that the sudden ac-
ouiesence with the long opposed
plan that the ships be sent through
the war zone. might indicate that the
Netherlands government was propos-
ing something new in connection
with the negotiations which Great
Britain and the United States would
be unable to accept
The official attitude here is that all
arrangements have been made to
take over the ships and that the in,
lection Of any new proposals by Hol-
land cannot stav the decisions reach
ed in London and Washington.

Attention of MIR. Sraubenmuller

1t ought not to take the combined en-
ergy of The New York Tribune. the
Vigilantes, all the patriotic societies and
James w. Gerard to eliminate from the
public high schools of this city German
language textbooks containing German
propaganda.
Gustav Straubenmuller, acting Super
intendent of Schools, has Just barred
twelve which were called to his atten-
ton last December. A number still re-
main.
1t ought not to require the combined
efforts of the Board of Education, the
Department of Justice and The New
York Tribune to eliminate enemy alien
and pro-German teachers from the pub
lie schools.
Gustav Straubenmuller, on receiving a
letter from the president of the Board of
Education calling his attention to this
subtle menace, says that he will call a
conference of superintendent to con-
slider it, but that in any event nothing
will be done to upset the whole school
system" He thinks there are no male
enemy aliens among the school teachers,
and inclines to think few female enemy
aliens are not SO very important.
1t ought not to take Gustav Strauben-
muller so long to acquire a reasonable
degree of respect for public opinion in
these matters. Public opinion will not
always be as patient with German prop
uganda in the schools as the acting
superintendent seems to be.

been rsking their lives more constantly

account of the trip appears elsewhere in

enough to secure reservations for the
run. But only limited number of cars
was available, and $50 persons, all OF
them with soldier kin at Yaphank, could
not make the trip. They wanted to ro
but there was no room for them. To
these Easter Sunday brought a bitter
disappointment.
There is to be another run next Sun
day and third the week following.
They will conti7rnc throughout the sum-
mcr as long as automobilsts can be
found who are willing to perform this
service for those who cannot afford the
expense Of railroad trip to Yaphank.
