GERMAN DEMAND TO DUTCH
HAS MANIFOLD PURPOSE
Real Attempt Is to Bluff Scandinavian
Countries Out of Food
Agreements.
International News Service.
WASHINGTON. I>. April 2S. Presl
dent Wilson anrl Secretary Lansing held
a long conference at the White House Sat
urday. it is understood the critical situa-
tion between Holland and Germany was
the most Important subject of which they
talked. Later, officials Intimated that the
I nited States deeply sympathizes with the
E light of Holland and stands read$ to aid
er in every possible' way. Negotiations
over ships, it Is stated, are rapidly ap-
proaching u conclusion satisfactory to both
Holland and the L-nited States.
At the same time the Dutch legation here
announced the German Minister to the
Netherlands is still at his post in The
Hague. The Dutch Minister at Berlin re-
turned to The HagUe only for conference.
The legation also denied that any em-
bargo lias been placed on the export of tin
nnd other much-needed commodities from
the Dutch Colonies. It was explained that
a license system has been put into force,
similar to the system whereby the 1 nited
States War Trade Hoard controls exports
from the United States. This license re-
quirement. the legation explained. Is im-
posed purely to protect Holland's own
interests and has nothing to do with I he
negotiations, either with Germany or the
United States.
Holland, according to the view of the
State Department, is a genuine neutral.
Her attitude may be described as neither
pro-ally nor pro-German but strictly pro
Dutch. The very tenacity with which she
has clung to her neutrality has earned her
enemies In both camps.
Asked of the developments which might
be expected to follow a yielding by Hol-
land to German pressure, officials at the
Stato Department asserted this afternoon
that they did not believe any extreme meas-
ures would be resorted to. The strength
of the German pressure andttlie diffbul
ties of Holland's position are, nevertheless,
realized here.
It is believed here that Germany is
threatening Holland with a possible view
to frightening the Scandinavian neutrals
away from the rationing agreements all
three are about to conclude with the I nited
States. In all three cases, Norway, Sweden
and Denmark, the agreements Involve the
allotment of ships of' the allies. Germany
regards the allotment of ships to her enemy
us a personal attack.
Germany seized this time for her diplo-
matic offensive against Holland because
she believed Dutch sentiment was favor-
able on account of the resentment resulting
from the Anglo-American requisition of
Dutch ships.
Hut information as to both Dutch and
Scandinavian sentiment reaching the Stato
Department indicates that Germany has
miscalculated both the time and effect of
her threatened move. If carried out, offi-
cials believe it will send Holland Into the
fighting ranks of the allies and Scandi-
navia Into prompt settlement of the pend-
ing agreements.

SWISS NOT BLIND TO
GERMAN CONQUEST AIMS
Demands on Holland Frankly Criti-
cized by Cress—Say fiermany
Piqued at Drive's Failure.
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. D. O . April 28.-Ger-
many's attitude toward the small neutral
Furopeau nations, particularly Holland and
Switzerland, has caused sharp protests
from the Swiss press, an official dispatch
Saturday from France said. The increased
pressure which Germany threatens to ex-
ert on Switzerland, according to the dls
patch, has created a particularly painful
impression at this time because of negotia-
tions between the republic and Germany
for a new economic agreement.
"I pon t l^e subject of the menacing note
v.'iich the Nord Deutsche Allgemelne Zei
tung has published and in which It criti-
cizes the Swiss press," said the dispatch,
"the Journal De Geneve of April 20 writes:
" It Is sufficient for us to recall that
a democratic country such as ours main
tains the right to criticize under all cir-
cumstances all acts and doctrines contrary
t«» those which are at the basis of the
Swiss nation and no advice, no matter
where it comes from, will make It keep
silent.'
'The Germanla, whose collection with
Chancellor Ijortlfng is known, published
on April 25 an article in Which speaking
of the negotiations of Germans with Hol-
land and Switzerland and in a more gen-
eral way of her relations with all the neu-
tral states, she summons them to take
part In the war and to pronounce them-
selves in favor of Germany. The National
Zeitung of Basel calls attention to the
threatening tone of this note and says:
•• 'It will cause a great stir. It will
produce a particularly painful effect in
neutral countries upon whom for four
years a growing pressure has been ex-
erted. Today the organ of Chancellor
Ilertling announces that the pressure upon
Holland may reach such a point that the
low countries m ist choose within a short
time, one side or the other, ami the obser-
vation Is made apropos of Switzerland that
the same fate sooner or later will be re
served for Switzerland. This tone comes
as a surprise at a time when Switzerland
is negotiating a new economic agreement
with Germany. It is probable that the
Swiss press will reply with great calmness
that Switzerland Is strong enough to resist
such pressure and threats of this kind.*
"The Temps today publishes an article
In which it considers the conduct of Ger
many ;i> regards Holland, the result of the
disappointment which the German govern-
ment must already feel concerning Its great
offensive. The paper says:
"•The more the German drive is held in
check on the road to Calais, the more will
German appetites be directed toward Hol-
land. The general staff of William II and
the entire German nation want to possess
at all costs a drawn pistol aimed at tlie
heart of England ' "
RIVAL SIBERIAN FACTIONS
BIDDING FOR ALLIED SUPPORT
By Antoc'sted Pre**.
HAKRIN. Sunday, April 21 -The politi-
cal situation in Siberia has keen compli-
cated during the last week by claims for
recognition by the entente allies made by
rival Russian factions, each to the exclu-
sion of the others.
At least two factions have asked allied
representatives to notify their government*
that the establishment of a dictatorship
will be deeply resented in Siberia. The
apparent reluctance of the allied govern-
ments to intervene against the Bolshevlki
has, nevertheless, caused several factions to
feci that the only hope of securing allied
support lies in their coalition into a single
political organization without party lines
and devoted to restoring order in Siberia
under a republican form of government and
re establishing Russia in the war or at
least overthrowing German influence In
Siberia.
A former member of the Russian Duma
has gone t<> Toklo to appeal for allied
aid and another delegate has started for
Peking to thwart the efforts of the Horvath
faction in the direction of a dictatorship
and at the same time to pledge the sup-
port of the Siberian government, to Gen-
eral Horvath, provided popular govern-
ment be guaranteed,
Bolshevik atrocities at Blagoviestchensk
have aroused indigation and the Far Fast-
en! committee for the defense of the coun-
try organisation of the national Constltu
cut Assembly has approached the tonsillar
body with a suggestion that the allied con
suls appoint delegates to co-operate in
examining the testimony of refugees on the
subject. The atrocities are alleged to ex-
ceed those in Belgium.

Entire Output of Bull Durham
Called to the Colors f
THE Government has requested the entire output of the
"makings"—"BULL" DURHAM tobacco. Our fighting
men need it and we give it gladly.
Only absolute necessities—men, money, munitions, wheat,
ships, and now the "makings," have been called.
One million six hundred thousand men are ready, and
millions more to come. Unlimited billions in coin, and billions
waiting. The entire output of all our munition factories, all
our wheat; every ship we can justly lay our hands on—and,
now, tobacco—the " makings "—36,000,000 sacks, 2,000,000
pounds, one hundred carloads every month—the utmost night
and day production of all the "BULL" DURHAM factories.
Every "BULL" DURHAM smoker in the land must
appreciate this call. It will come especially hard to the millions
of men who have "rolled their own" with "Bull" for years#
who have, indeed, known no other tobacco, and who look upon
the little muslin sack as a close and very personal possession.
But even these men, every one of them, I know, will be glad
to give fully and wholly his share of a product, those who
know say is needed by our boys over there—is necessary to
their morale, their comfort, their will to win.
In turning over to the Government our entire output of
"BULL" DURHAM, the American Tobacco Company has
but one regret:—That, large as they are, its factories cannot
satisfy both the demand at home and the call, from the front.
Of course, there can be no choice with us or with you.
The war-needs of our Government are our war needs —our
commands. . ' ,
Men and money, powder and bullets, wheat and ships, and
now tobacco—the ". makings," to carry to our fighters ammuni-
tion for courage, determination and hope—ammunition tied up
in a little muslin sack and marked with a round paper tag.
Is there a man in all this united land who will not say:
"Here's to you, good old 'Bull.' Take to the boys over there
all you have been to me and more."
I am sure there is not—certainly not among the thousands
who help to make "Bull," nor the millions who must, for the
present, give it up.

EAtJLE I 'ASS, Tex., April 28. What Is
expected to prove one of the biggest events
of recent years towards bringing into
closer relationship with each other the
I nited States ami .Mexican governments
will be the conference between Governor
William I'. Hobby of Texas and Governor
Gustavo Kspinosa Mirclcs of the State of
Couhulhi, Mexico, which is being arranged
to be held in Eagle I'ass May 1"». There
is probably no point nlong the Texas
Mexican border where international rein
tions are more friendly than at Eagle
Pass or where there is more cojgenial
business intercourse between the points
■ mi the opposite sides of the border. 1'be
business men of Eagle I'ass are heartily
In accord with the business men of lied-
ins Negras and vice versa In the matter
of maintaining and fostering friendly rein
tions between the two countries, and tliis
spirit extends on to the interior as far
as San Antonio, Houst n, Dallas and other
points, which have busiu^ss connections in
Mexico.
There Is probably no point along the
bold r where the position of the I nited
States in the present world war is better
understood by the people of Mexico than
in I'iedras Negras and throughout the
Mate of Co.aliuila and where there his
i»ceji a freer expression of friendship l'or
the l nited States. This has been til.*
case In two distinct Instances of recent
occurrence, one of which was a get-to-
gether luncheon given at the Hotel < am-
ies In i'iedras Negras by General Kei
nando Peraldi, commander of the Mcxh.m
forces, and which was attended by public
officials and business men of both Engl.'
I'ass and I'iedras Negras and the other i
similar event which was given at ; h • •
Hotel Eagle on this side of the ri\ -r
and which was attened by Col. i-'rcderi. k
II Hay. commanding ol'Hccr of the Am •"
lean troops at Camp Eagle I'ass; G-n
Fernando I'ernldi. eommandihg the Mex-
ican troops in I'iedras NegraS, and pub
lie officials and business men from botn
nldes <>f the river. On both occasions
the friendly relations that exist between
the two countries at these points were
discussed and there was an exchange >f
felicitations in the hope of furthering
these relations for a better understanding
between the people of the United States
nnd Mexico for their mutual welfare an 1
for the welfare of their respective gov-
ernments.
Again when rumors became current of
n strong pro-German propaganda that
was reported as being carried on in Mex
bo, Governor Mireles took the intltati.e
to put a sudden and positive stop to k,
so far as was within his power. A par-
ticular instance came to the surface when
a Spanish editor had called a conference
for the discussion of international at
fairs in the Interest of a German propa-
ganda I ud the, Governor otf K.'oaliuiLa
promptly issued orders prohbiting such
a conference, and at tlie same time issued
instructions to the presidents of the vari-
ous municipalities In the State of Coaliuila
not, to permit any pro-German propaganda
xvithin the confines of the districts under
their jurisdiction. It Is for the reason
of this splendid attitude displayed by
Governor Mireles that his coming confer-
ence with Governor Hoboy, to be held In
Eagle I'ass the middle of next month, is
regarded with so much interest with the
expectation that it will open the way to
bigger things for the mutual welfare of
both the I nited States and Mexico.
Another instance may be cited to show
the friendly feeling tjiat previa!* here.
Through some misunderstanding an order
was issued on the Mexican side not to
permit, Americans to cross the Interna
iional bridge into Mexico. It was re-
ported at the time this was a retaliatory
measure to the restrictions on traffic
ordered by the American authorities, and
when this matter was brought to the at
tent ion of General Perabll he. without
further questioning, ordered the bridge
opened int.» Mexico. He expressed him
y< If in thorough aeeord with the American
authorities in their efforts to stamp out
the smuggling evil and offered Ills co
operation to bring this about.
It was through the co-operation of Gen-
eral Peraldi that the border raids in this
section have become a thing of the past,
there having been no border raids here
since January 1. All of these conditions
nre pointed to by those wno are familiar
with international affairs here of the
friendly feeling that Mexico lias towards
the United States, and for that reason
it Is believed that Governor Hobby's con
ferenee with Governor Mireles in Eagle
Pass next month will have a far-rea< lung j
and salutary effect.
