A iwciuy-mile strip is excluded from zone around the Dutch Coast.

From the southern border line of Holland, the barred zone extends over all waters, down to Cape Spain. England.

Ana i clamor of a suffering people overcame the- more moderate trend of the Hollweg regime, while the forceful influence of the mighty von Hlndenburg determined the new sea Teutons here declared. Germany's new submarine policy was decided, according to German diplomats, immediately after the Entente sent its unfavorable reply to President Wilson's peace note. It is admitted In the quarters that since the Sussex sinking there has been little doubt in the German official mind that warfare would have to be resumed in unrestrained form. Germany herself warned of this when she made her last pledges.

In her note of. May 4 she said neutrals he ''Otn paranei on me eiiai. could not expect her "forced to fight point about 500 miles east for heu existence, to restrict the use of tile' Irish coast.) an effective weapon for the sake of Spain is granted a 20-mile free neutral Interests it her enemy ia per- mitted to continue to apply at will methods of warfare in violation of the rules on International law." And Germany further added that if the United States was unable to lift the entente blockade, "the German Government would then began forcing a situation in which it must reserve to itself complete liberty of decision. Germany called yesterday's note notice of this "new decision." Tn reply to this communication this Government, said it would rely upon scrupulous exertion henceforth of the "altered 1 Germany, thereby renewing the principal danger to independents of the "good relations" between the two countries. At the same time this Government made It clear that maintenance of the new policy was not'held as contingent upon the result of diplomatic negotiations between the United States and entente.

Responsibility for violation of the pledges Secretary Lansing held in the Sussex note would be single.
