HOLLAND AND THE WAR.
PUBLIC CURIOSITY AT FEVER
PITCH
LONDON, April 4. The Times' s correspondent at Amsterdam says:— "Public curiosity here is-at fever pitch.- Everything points to a serious situation. There have been frequent conferences • betvyeen. the naval and military authorities and .the Government. The Stock Exchange is weak,, but not- paniostricken, indicating that there is no immediate crisis, but that financiers are as ignorant of the-cause of the crisis as the public. Politicians ana members of the National Defence Council declare that '■>, they are unaware of the cause for the alarm. The ,■■extraordinary 'secrecy being shown is responsible for the wildest rumors, Tjut the sanest opinion inclines to the view that the Government's action is due to Germany's Submarine .warfare.''
