HftHantf &ietftre* That Wife son Misstated Facts in Noto--De­ nies Huns Intended to Sink \ ** V«HMls. April 2.--The seizure of the Dutch merchantmen in American ports is characterized by the Dutch government, In a statement in the Of ficial Gazette, as an act of violence which it will oppose with all the . en­ ergy of Its conviction and Its wounded national feeling. The government takes issue with tiie proclamation of President Wilson regarding the decision of the United States, saying It contains assertions which are contrary to the facts. The statement says the Dutch na­ tion "with painful surprise" has tak­ en notice of President Wilson's proc­ lamation and that the seizure of a neu­ tral mercantile fleet is unjustifiable. "With painful surprise the govern ment and whole Dutch nation has tak­ en notice of the presidential procla­ mation and the .statement of March 20 relative to the seizure of part of the Dutch merchant fleet," the statement begins. ' "The seizure en bloc of a neutral merchant fleet. If .only for the dura­ tion of the war, is an act Indefensi­ ble from-the viewpoint of internation­ al law and unjustifiable toward a friendly nation, apart from consider­ ations of legality. "But the manner, also, in which the presidential ^statement defends this act of violence does not contribute toward lessening the sting thereof, for this defense has plainly been drawn up under 'the influence of a completely incorrect representation of affairs. "The manner in which the Dutch merchant fleet has been treated in past months in the United States, the incessant difficulties placed in the way of our sailings from American ports, repeated refusals of bunkering facilities, and forced' unloading of car­ goes already bought--all this may be within the rights of the United States (save one case, that of the Zeelandia, which with her own bunker coal en­ tered an American port and has been unlawfully detained there since). "It surely was against the tradition­ al friendship between the two coun­ tries, although on this point the presi­ dential statement keeps silence." . "According to President Wilson's proclamation," the statement contin­ ues, "the Netherlands, owing entirely to German pressure, failed to observe the preliminary arrangement which was proposed for the purpose of leav­ ing no longer idle the Dutch tonnage In American ports and furnishing an opportunity for making voyages with­ in a period of ninety days, pending a definite agreement on Dutch tonnage and rationing.

They were greet­ ed heartily by the German population, but the Estlionians refused to 'par­ ticipate in the reception.

The Ger­ mans are sending most of their wound­ ed to Belgium, it is declared, to con­ ceal from the German people their heavy sacrifices. It has been possible to identify, the dispatch says, nearly 100 German di visions, more than ten of .which were twice engaged. Some of the divisions, it fs declared, had to be relieved at the end of the first day after losing more than half their men,; , The dispatch follows: "After an. eleven-days' offensive, during which the Germans have reck­ lessly pushed forward their attacking waves, one may gather a fairly accu­ rate estimate of their losses. "In the first place, it has been pos­ sible to identify nearly 100 of their divisions since the beginning of the offensive, and more than ten of which were twice engaged. Some divisions had tp be relieved at the end of the first day, having lost more than half of the men; such'was the case of the Forty-fifth and the Eighty-eighth. The •latter was nearly >viped out. "Among those that have suffered the most are the Fifth, Twelfth, Twenty- eighth and One Hundred Seventh dl- vlsisons, as well as the Second (Prus­ sian guard),'the Sixteenth, the Twen­ ty-first and Twenty-sixth divisions of reserves. "In the second place, an enormous number of corpses were found on the battle ground, and the prisoners, on being questioned, acknowledge the ex­ tent of their losses of their respective units. v . "To conceal from the German peo­ ple the heavy ^sacrifice* that their of­ fensive methods required, the Ger­ mans are sending most of their wound­ ed to Belgium. "It Is not an exaggeration to esti­ mate the total of their losses be­ tween 273,000 and 300,000 men."

Is this patriotism? I remembered the text: "These things ought ye to have done, and not to have left the other undone." Another good woman was talking of the next Liberty Loan drive. "Well," she declared, "they need not come to me for help! I am*a business woman, and I have lost money on heatless Mondays, and since the gov­ ernment has made me do that I do not propose to help with their Liberty loan. love my country, and I am a Red Cross worker, and all that--but there is a limit." Should Be No Limit. A limit! Is there any limit tlf what she would do if her nearest and dear­ est were fighting for his life? Would she stop to argue that she had given the suffered expensive woolen under­ wear, but that she drew the line at the renunciation of certain comforts so that he might have them? Would she be considered a good wife or mother or daughter if she held this attitude towards husband, child or parent? Let us stop all these ridiculous res­ ervations, these talks of what we will do and won't do. Let us hold back nothing. Do the women who are send­ ing their sons abroad hold back any­ thing? Do these sons grudge risking their beautiful youth, their lives, for their country? Yet some people hesi­ tate at white bread and bacon, and refuse to buy Liberty bonds! The last-named hesitation Is not only unpatriotic, but It Is absurd. Later we will know the meaning^of the ex­ pression, "What I give I have." The money we Invest in Liberty bonds will be ours when other money that we now have is gone. * All such talk as I have quoted Is wickedly unpatriotic. Let us give as our sons give--ungrudgingly, proudly, because we are counted worthy to make sacrifices for the greatest cru­ sade against evil that the world has ever known. Make It An Honorable Service. What would the Son of Righteous­ ness sajfcto our hesitation about trifling luxuries? He died for his cause. We women are not called upon to do that. (Some of us tnay wish that we were.") But we are called to sacrifice otir selfishness for it. I am not making light of the wonder­ ful work done by those women who toil at Red Cross stations; I am not forgetting the noble and vast army of I wives, mothers, sisjers and „ sweet­ hearts who stop at nothing in their de; Sire to help end the war honorably. But I hope that such sentences as. I have quoted go no further than the tip of the tongue. If they do, shame to the speakers. And shame to us who let such speech pass unreproved. "His very living--such was Christ's giving." k We women "have not yet resisted unto blood." But some of our men have, ar*l--God help us!--many more may have to. Can we then endure the Ignominy of remembering that even in our inner hearts we have paused to consider what delicacies we may use? Shall we not--in the language of our dear fighting boys--"cut out" all doubtful articles? And let us make of the trifling duty an honorable service. The cause ennobles all that it touches.
