 While losses may be incurred through decrease in the Rhine trade, Dutch officials take the view that nothing can prevent Germany sending as much mer- chandse as sne pleases, direct into rol- land over the railroads, which are ex- pected to handle it to their capacity.
 The Dutch evening newspapers gener- ally are unfavorable to the action of the allies The Hague Nieuve Courant says the occupation of Dusseldorf and the other German cities is a violation of the treaty of Versailles and as result Ger many now undoubtedly will pay less at tention to it than ever while probably the production of coal will decrease enor- mously
 The Vaderland says the measures cer- tainly do not improve the power of Ger many to pay.

 Death
(By Associated Press)

Madrid, March S.-Premier Dato was assassinated this evening while returning from the chamber in mo- tor car. He was attacked by several persons who fired a number of shots.
 The actual assassin of the premier was a man on motorcycle, who fled,
 The chauffeur of the automobile in which Premier Dato was riding also was killed.
 Eduardo Dato was recognized as one of the most conservative of the con> servatlves in Spain He became leader of the liberal -conservative party, the strongest political group in both the Senate and House of Representatives, after the disappearance of Canovas Never a friend of the working classes and opposed to all reforms, Dato ac- quired the height of his reputation for sternness in August, 1917. when he suppressed with the utmost energy the workers movement.
 Senor Dato had held the seat in Par liament for Vitorla. capital of the province of Ava, ever since his entry into Parliament. On several occasions he was speaker of the House. Besides holding portfolios in various cabinets. he was the Prime Minister a number of times. Although apparently of gen will of iron and never discussed a subject with anyone once he had made .up his mind on it.
 ADVANCE RAPID r Dato was born in La Coruna August 12. 1858. He passed his final examina- tion in law at the age of l9. When he entered politics, he pushed rapidly to the front, becoming Secretary of state for the interior in 1891 and minister of the same department in 1899. Dur ing his occupation of the Ministry of the Interior he secured the passage of laws regulating workmen's insurance and the hours of labor for women.
 In 1903, Dato became Minister or Justice. and in 1907 he was nominated speaker of the House of Representa- tives. and also became mayor of Mad- rid
 He was first chosen Premier in 1913, and followed this with d second term in 1917 In 1918. he held the portfolio of Secretary of State for Foreign Ar fairs. Dato was married in his early youth, and was the father of three children. While he was a deputy he acted as lawyer for several English and French railroad and mining com- panies operating in Spain. For his work in this connection he amassed a fortune.

BERLIN VIEWS

Berlin March S.--The Berlin newspapers today discuss quietly the breaking off of the London separations negotiations. They are virtually unanimous in descrip- ing the enforcement of the penalties as a violation of the Versailles peace treaty. At the same time they advise the popu- lace to meet coming events with com posture.
 The Deusch Allegmeine Ieitung, organ of Hugo yinnes, the capitalist, says:
 "Germany's proposals were rejected with cold scorn before the allies took the trouble to examine them in detail The French now have the opportunity, under pretext of enforcing the penalties, of tax ing possession of Germany's coal settling themselves in the Ruhr region and takin the first steps in their plans of destruc- tion. But they soon will learn that these measures are as of little use to them as the rest of civilization. Germany can confidently await the tide Of events, re- lying on the righteousness sof her cause. <

GREAT CARE IMPERATIVE

The heavy requirements of the gov> ernment on account of necessary ex- penditures, including interest and sinking fund on the public debt. and the maturity of s7,5O0,O0 900 in short. dated debts in the next two years or whereabouts make it imperative that the greatest care and economy be ex- ercised in matters effecting govern ment expenditures
 The people generally must become more interested in saving the govern ment's money than in spending it. A thorough going national budget sys- tenn must be established, and the goy- ernments expenses brought into rela- ton to it's income"
 The belief was expressed by the new secretary however. that the first nine mo nths of the fiscal year, or to March 31, would show the treasury has made ends meet, with a slight surplus to use against the war debt Progress in the war debt must necessarily be slow, explaining that the heavy pay ments to the railroads would seriously hamper previous plans to lower the
