(By Associated Press Correspondence)
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 27—The Dutch
nnd German soldiers who have been
patrolling opposite sides of the boun
dary line since the war began, have
been ordered to withdraw from close
contact on account of the fact that a
number of disagreeable Incidents
have occurred. Up to the beginning
of February the Dutch soldiers and
I the Germans paced side by side and
1 carried on conversations. It appears
that trouble sometimes arose through
the expression of diverse views, so
the commanders of the patrols have
now separated the men by a distance
of 100 yards. Between the small
strip of territory separating the Dutch
from the German sentries no one is
permitted to go on chance of being
immediately shot.
Behind the frontier line on both
sides have been erected field fortifica
tions in the shape of trenches and gun
emplacements. Those in Dutch terri
tory are so placed ns to render im
possible any surprise inroad into the
Netherlands, and they are defended
by strong bodies of troops. On the
opposite side in Belgium the entrench
tnents face away from the Dutch fron
tier, and are evidently intended to
offer shelter to the German army in
case it should find itself obliged to re
tire from its present positions in Flan
ders.
There is a strong feeling among the
Dutch troops that the Germans will be
forced over the frontier in Limburg
should the allied forces eventually
push them out of Belgium. This lit
tle strip of Holland, forming a sort of
appendix to the south, is bounded on
the west by Belgium and on the east
by Germany It is very narow and
would offer great temptation to a re
treating army trying to get away from
its pursuers The Dutch realize this
and are determined to oppose any
such action by every means in their
power.
On the other side of Holland the
greatest attention of the Dutch Gov
ernment is directed toward the pre
vention of attempts to smuggle Contra
band articles over the frontier from
Holland into Germany. These* at
tempts are frequent owing to the pro
fit attached to such transactions. The
precautions taken against such “runs”
are of the most extreme severity.
The frontier line is patrolled night and
day and the troops engaged in this
work are frequently changed so that
they may not become too intimate
with the inhabitants of the frontier
districts and so be inclined to display
laxity in their vigilance.
While these efforts to maintain a
strict neutrality are maintained there
has been some criticism of the Dutch
Government in consequence of its ac
tion in keeping such a large number
of troops under arms. Premier Cort
van der Linden, however, maintains
that the position taken up has been
the only correct one under the cir
cumstances and declares that the gov
ernment is sure that "the Netherlands
will, neither now nor in the furture,
surrender her rights to anyone with
out a struggle.”
There is a strong movement among
a section of the people in favor of an
appeal for intervention in the inter
ests of peace. There exists an “Anti
War League,” which recently has dis
played great activity and petitions
are placed everywhere for signature
asking the Queen of the Netherlands
to make some move in this direction.

GERMANY SUPPLIES
OWN NITRIC ACII
(By Associated Press Correspondence]
LONDON, Feb. 27—The stoppage ol
the Imports of nitrates from Chill
says a Swiss authority, is not depriv
ing Germany of a necessary ingre
dient of explosives because of Pro
feasor Ostwald’s discovery of a pro
cess for making nitric acid out of
oxidising ammonia. Since the war
the factories engaged in this process
have been greatly enlarged and will
within a month make Germany en
tirely Independent of the world for
Its nitric acid supply.
TURKS LOST BTLESHtf
By FOUL G A BBUY
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb .27—A new story Is
told of the British submarine B-ll,
[whose commander. Lieu. N. Holbrook,
received the Victoria Cross for brav
ing the Dardanelles and sinking a
Turkish battleship.
On entering the Dardanelles, the
submarine sighted a Turkish patrol
boat. The B-11 thereupon dived and
remained below for some time. On
coming to the surface, the Turk was
seen steaming around in a circle.
After another dive, the commander
found the patrol still on hand. There
upon, the commander rammed and
sunk her. The mystery was then
cleared. The B-ll had fouled a bony
and had been dragging It about on the
surface, so that all the Turks had to
do was to follow the mark.
MOTOR AMBULANCES
NAMED AFTER WOMEN
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb. 27—A fleet of about

at the front. The names selected for
the ambulances Inculde: Agnes,
Alice, Barbara, Clara. Edith, Eliza
beth, Gertrude, Isabel, Jessie, Kather
ine, Laura, Margaret, Mary, Nellie,

fred. Each car will bear the same
name as that of the girls and women
who have contributed toward It, e. g.,
all the money collected from women
named Josephine will go into the pur
chase of the Josephine ambulance.

EXPLOSIONS CAUSED
BY HUGE ICEBERGS
LONDON, Feb. 27—Icebergs have
exploded a number of mines In the
Gulf of Bothnia, according to reports
brought to Hull by Swedish vessels.
Navigation is particularly perilous in
the Baltic and the North Seo Just
now, it is said, owing to the mines
which have broken loose from their
mooroings during storms. Scandi
navian naval authorities patrol the
trade routes for these floating men
aces, some of which have been vlsia
ble lately as far north ns Skagerack
and the mouth of Christiania Fjord.
SHELL EXPLOSIONS
AFFECT HEARING
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb 27.—One of the curi
ous effects of shell explosion reported
at the military hospitals, is the loss
of the senses of taste and smell. Dr.
Charles Meyrs states that he has met
three cases of this in his own experi
ence. The received no flesh wounds
at all, but because of their loss of
senses they could not distinguish by
taste between sugar, quinine, acid and
salt, which felt alike to the tongue.
“These cases appear to constitute
a definite class among shellshock ef
fects," says Dr. Meyers. “The shells
in question appear to have burst with
considerable noise, scattering much
dust, hut this was nat accompanied
by the ductlon of order. It is. htere
fore, difficult to understand why hear
ing should be unaffected and the ill
results confined to the senses of sight,
smell and taBte. The close relation
of these caeca to those of hysteria ap
pears certain.”

VENICE, Feb. 27—According to the
Hungarian newspapers received hern
the situation in Przemysl. which has
been under siege of a Russian army
for four months, is not yet alarming.
Aviators, who visit the garrison almost
dally, report that there should be no
really serious shortage of provisions
for another three months. The victu
aling problem has been considerably
assisted by the flight over the town
recently of vast flocks of wild ducks
which were shot by the thousands.
The population of Przemysl now
numbers about 60,000 including both
soldiers and civilans and 6,600 Rus
sians prisoners. The garrison is all
Hungarian.
i ne uussian nesigers under Gen
eral Diniltrieff hold every entrance
and approach to the town, but they
are still held outside of the outer line
of the city's fortifications, which have
a radioes of twelve miles, and include
a considerable area of farm and garden
land and twelve small agricultural
villages.
The city was well stocked with food
at the beginning of the siege and this
supply has been carefully husbanded
and doled out under the strictest reg
ulations by the military authorities.
Food allotted for the civil population
is turned over at stated intervals by
the military governor, who fixes the
retail price of each commodity. Prices,
curiously enough, are lower than they
were before the war, but money has
really little value in a community
where the amounts of each article
purchnseable are limited by law.
Those who have no money receive
free meals of approximately the same
quantity and quality allowed to those
who pay for their food.
The Russians out side the city also
have several aeroplanes which make
frequent reconnaisance flights over
the city and the surrounding neigh
borhood. Occasionally they attempt
bomb attacks, but none of these have
resulted in any serious damage. Their
hope, of course, Is that a stray shot
may find the Hungarian arsenal and
ammunition stores.
It is said that the Hungarians within
the city get along very well with their
Russian prisoners, many of whom have
given their parole and are allowed to
move freely within a limited area.
Some of the better educated Russian
officers have voluntarily offered their
services to officers and men of the
garrison for instruction in the Rus
sian language.

ENGLAND UESES MULES
FOR ARMY SERVICE
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON. Feb. 27—The latest ship
ment of mules to England is composed
of such clean limbed, active beasts
that certain army experts have pro
possed to the war department to use
them for cavalry or mounted infantry.
In the British army the mule is used
only for transport and the mountain
battery work, not being rega del as
suitable for other branches of the ser
vice. I.ut Brittain’s stock of cavalry
horses is exhausted, and the heavy
draught animals left on the farms
are decldely less active than the latest
arrival of mules Spanish and Mexi
can cavalry have always used mules
and found them more serviceable than
horses for work in rough country.
Some cooking at the Windsor grill.
