TIIE I-IAGIYE, March 22.-Tho Tu-

bantia case is causing serious per- plexity to the Dutch Government. The Associated Press is informed authori- tatively thst no further action will be taken by the Government until the rc- sult of an examination by divers is known, but it is admitted that it will be exceedingly difficult to find traces of the supposed torpedo in the coal bunkers of the Tubsniia at the depth of 16 or 17 fathoms.

The announcement is made in Rot.-

tordam that small pieces of brass were round in the Tubautia's life boats, which were piclted,lll.l by the steam~ ship Batavior, and this. it is believed, will help to clear up the mystery.

'Although the German submarines in

the North Sea may be in touch by wireless telegraphy with Zeebruggo and Wilhelmshaven, the Handelsblaa of Amsterdam and other Dutch news- papers refuse to believe that the denial by Germany of responsibility for the sinking of the Tubantia was based on any genuine investigation.

These newspapers point out, in con-

firmation of their contention in this regard, that in previous cases of sub- marine attacks on ,Dutch steamers, it took weeks for the Gorman Admiralty to establish the facts.

LONDON, March 22.-One theory as

to why Germany might torpedo the Dutch steamer Tubantia, which was sunk several days ago, according to an article on the Times market page is that the Tubaatla carried a huge. sum in Gorman owned American sec,\i'rlties.

The writer arlued that as thqgrltish would have seized these in they y snnei the only way to realise on them. was by sinking the ship. it would then be pqssible to have duplicates issued in New York. "
