London, May 3. While the precise arrangement between Holland and Germany de regarde the Limburg railway is still publicly unknown in Holland and England, the German newarspera take it for granted that the railway will be ased militarily.

The Manchester Guardian, replying to the German argument that if the Allies use Datoh chips Germany may use Datch railwaye, eays Germany'e eabmarine compeigu in attempting to exclude the ase of sil ebipping flatly escflicte with Dutch interests.

"Better's correpondent-at-Ollaws-etalen-that-the-tone-of the Qoebeo Deepapers during the last few daya indiastes a resignation to consoription in that province, but an incident in the Ecnse of Commons yesterday even more emphatically indicates the changed attitude of the population towards the Government's policy of maintaining Canada's army at the front in full strength.
