'"I have just had news that the ( Hermans have attacked us on a front; of nearly sixty miles with over-! whelming force. I am amazed th.at It j should be considered debatable I whether the miners and engineers! are going to make their contribution! to tho defense of the country.'" Premier Lloyd George declared it would bo far better that the govern ment should go out of office than its decision disobeyed added: "It is better to talk plainly and ij am speaking with a great deal of] feeling, I have, just heard of this i overwhelming attack brought about | by the failure of the Russian demo cracy to have its orders obeyed. ■ "If the attack succeeds, the Ger- j mans might be at Calais and the only) answer we can give is a vote of thej miners confederation saying they are not to resist the combing out of lifty thousand men from the mines." j New Jersey Home Guard Shoots Comrade by Mistake Palmyra, N.

How Pennsylvania Guardsmen Are Given a Taste of Real War by Playing Strenuous Bayonet Game at Camp Hancock DUTCH ANGERED BY SEIZURE OF MERCHANT SHIPS Claim Act Is Similar to Vio lation of Belgium by Teutons By Associated Press The Hague, March 22.—Seizure of Dutch shipping by the allied gov- j ernments was unjust. Dr. Loudon, j the Dutch foreign minister, declared j to-day in the upper Chamber. . "Without a shred of justice," he j said, "the associated government j have carried out the proposal, al- j though the Dutch government in its j reply went.as far as possible to meet the demands of the associated pow ers. The resounding protest of the government will find an echo in the two chambers and among the whole Dutch people. It is a protest imbued with the principle of right." Senator J. T. Cremer attacked the United States after the foreign min ister had completed his statement. Senators Are Angry "America regards neutrality as partisanship," he said, "we refuse to furnish war materials to the allies — that is the head and front of our offending." Senator Cremer asked what flag would be flown from the seized ships and said he hoped it would not be the Dutch flag, but if that flag was used, he hoped it would be hoisted at j half-mast. • Deputy Van Kel, a Socialist, de clared the seizure of the Dutch fleet | by President Wilson under the pre- , text of war necessity, is as bad as j the violation of Belgium by Germany j on the same pretext. "We will maintain our independ ence, come what may," he said. "The American people have been misin- ' formed and their indignation will bo j great when they learn the truth." ! Allies Are "Common Thieves" i 1 Deputy Hooft, an anti-revolution- |' ist, said: "America has followed the practice of a brigand by holding a 1 pistol to our head.
