The latest news-added His Excellency. indicates that the belligerents on both uides fully appreciate the manner in which Holland, with considerable diffi culty but with goodwill, has hitherto maintained the strictest neutrality.

FRANCE JOINS THE ANTI- ALCOHOL WAR.

GERMANY DISSATISFIED.

A PROTEST TO THE UNITED STATES.

LONDON, April 30th.

a German Note to the United States com A message from Washington says that plains that America has accomplished nothing by the diplomatic correspondence with the Allies with regard to the right to ship food-stuffs to the civilian people of belligerent Powers, and intimates that America e virtually acquiesced in the British Order-in-Council prohibiting com- mereo with Gormany.

The Note calls attention to the fact that the Allies are daily receiving arms and ammunition from the United States, and declares that while the American Government insiste on its legal right to ship theso it does not with equal energy pursue its rights to ship food-stuffs that are not contraband of war to civilians in Germany.

The Note further, urges that, irrespec tive of the formal aspects of the question of shipping arms to belligerenta, the spirit of noutrality should be observed.

ITALY AND AUSTRIA.

WHY ITALY WAITS.

LONDON, April 9th

The newspapers in Rome are much perturbed by the rumours of the pos- sibility of a separate peace being arrang- ed between Austria and Russia. They point out that Austria no longer has any chance of reconquering her lost territory and incurs.a great risk of losing atill more if the war continues, whereas by instant submission she may hope to check Bussian invasion and Serbian advance and cheat Italy and Roumania of the aspirations which they expect to realiso.

LONDON, April 10th.) France is vigorously following the example of the other Allies in the anti-the alcohol war.

Spirits are unknown at the front, and the officers and redical nen unanimously testify to the excellent physical and moral results of this.

The Government has granted, the pre- fects discretionary powers to withdraw the allowances of soldiers' wives who are found to be frequenting drink-shops.

GREECE AND BULGARÍA. M. VENIZELOS WITHDRAWS FROM

LONDON, April 9th.. A despatch from Athens says that notwithstanding the efforts made by his supporters, M.

These arguments have strengthened the propaganda in favour of intervention,

Anti-Austrian demonstrations have taken place at Genoe. The Austrian Ang was burned and the troops who were called out, to quell the disorder, frater mised with the crowds, who finally dispersed after, smashing German shops.

An Italian statesman explains that Italy is delaying action in order to exhaust all means of obtaining peacefully what she wants. In any сабо her intervention would be most effective when the supreme clash of war takes place, which now
