Fierce Fighting Continues. London, —There were persistent ru mors In Ixtndon that Germany either had declared war on Holland or that her troops had occupied thp strip 01 Dutch territory extending from the Belgian frontier on the coast to the Belgian Scheldt. The reports lack confirmation and were not credited by officials. It Is possible that the report arose from the news from Dutch sources that the Germans were strengthening their positions around the Dutch fron tier and that uneasiness prevailed.

GERMAN CRUISER INTERNS COMMANDER MAX THIERICHENS MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT—EX PECTED HELP TO ARRIVE. Prinz Eitel ia Taken to Norfolk Navy Yarcia Where Bhe Will Remain Until War la Over. Newport News, Va. —4'pmmander Thlerichens of the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eltel Friedrich, asked the United States Government through port authorities here to Intern his ship and crow for the war Up to the last moment the German skipper kept up the appearance of being ready for a dash to sea. The commerce raider has made her last cruise of the war. She was taken to the Norfolk Navy Yard across Hampton Hoads from the ship yard here where she has been laid up since limping Into port on March 10 after the remarkable commerce-destroying voyage from the Orient during which she sent the American ship William J'. Frye to the bottom. Commander Thlerichens notified the Washington Government through Col lector of Customs Hamilton of his de cision to intern rather than "deliver crew and ship to fruitless and certain dost ruction" by British and French warships waiting off the Virginia Capes to destroy them. The German captain delivered his announcement in writing when Col lector Hamilton boarded the Bltel Krledrlch with an Imperative notice from the Washington Government that the time for his stay in this port would expire at midnight and that he must leave American waters by 4 o'clock next morning, Before the cus toms collector had a chance to deliver iiio message from Washington Com mander Thterichens handed to him the written announcement of his de cision. After conferences between Rear Admiral Uea.tty, .commnndant of the Norfolk Navy Yard. ..Rear Admiral He) 11; of the batHeshlp Alabama and Collector Hamilton actual Interment of the Prltiz Kltel was accomplished, the searnider was taken to the Navy Yard at Portsmouth. Va. There brepch blocks of Iter guns were removed and connecting rods of her engines were detached. The Captain's lettor was as follows: "I inform you 1 Intend to intern S. M. S. I'rlnz Kltel rriedricta. The re lief I expected appear not to arrive In time so the number anl force of the enemy cruisers watching the entrance of tlie bay makes to me Impossible the dash for the open sea with any hope of success. 1 have decided not to deliver crew and ship to fruitless and certain destruction. Being obliged for the courtesy shown by all United States authorities I am expecting your orders. . .. "1 have sent the same information to Rear Admlrr.l Helm, IT. S. S.

ITALY ANXIOUSLY , WAITING Talk of PUN With Hungary Bring* Increasing Talk of War in lUly.— Flares Fighting. London -Russian successes In the Carpathians, where the Muscovites are now said to control virtually all the important pauses and are prepar ing for a descent on to the plains of Hungary, have revived unofficial talk of separate peace for Austro-llungary, and seemingly Increasing aniety on the part of Interventions In Italy for their country to take up arms on the Hide of the Allies and obtain territory with Austria. Russian newspapers seem convinced that Hungary, if not the whole of the Dual Monarchy. is ready to seek peace, and It is said that Emperor Fracls Joseph has re quested Pop# Hen diet to Intervene in their behalf. » . Except in Italy, the neutral country mom directly lnterestd In this ques tion, little credence is given this re port, although the opinion Is express ed In military circles here that If Russia breaks down the Joint resist ance of the Austro-German troops in the Carpathians as she apparently has that of the Austro-Hungarian armies. Hungary at least will be ready to bring the war to an end as far as she is concerned. However, the Russians have some way to go yet before they reach the plains of Hungary and the Austro- Oerman forces are placing every ob stacle In their way. The whole south ern slopes of the mountains have been s'rongly fortified and troops are be fng poured Into the region, l It is said there are now 24 Austrian and six Herman army corps facing the Rus sians, and that more are on the way. The Russians are bringing up re serves, and, according to the Austrian report, they are attacking without j any regard for the loss of life British military critics express the greatest admiration for the Russians' handling of the Carpathian campaign. The advance between Pollanka and Dartfeld., they say, squeexes the Aus- ! trlans out of the Dukla Pass, that ! from Dukla squeezed them out of j Mazolaihroex and from west to east ! this process has continued Ontil all the passes are In the hands of Rus- , slan troops. The critics contend that the AustroOermans must return from Kast Gallclm and Bukowlns or they will find themselves cut off. i HIGHWAY MUST BE BUILT. Governors Movement For Dixit High- | way Must Not Fail. Indianapolis, Ind. "Governors' movement for Dixie highway must not fail," was the message Governor Ralston sent to Governor Rye, ~of Tennesee. The Tennessee executive telegraph ed Gov. Ralston questioning the ad visability of proceeding under the highway plan adopted at the recent governors' conference at Chattanooga, in "view of the action taken by C. E. James, as president of the Dixie Highway Association, ignoring ap pointees of governors and undertak ing to fix the route." Governor Kalston's reply follows "Governors' movement for Dixie Highway must not fall. Taggart and Fisher; Howell and Anderson with their associate commissioners will bring harmony ovt of confusion, Pa tience and a conciliatory spirit arc essential." Says the F-4 Was Defective. Los Angeles, Calif —Allison I). Ede brother of Lieutenant Alfred L.

Greenhut Company, a New Yt.rk corporation with $13,000,000 outstanding securi ties, operating two department stores on Sixth Avenue, this city, went into receivership through friendly pro ceedings.
