-MAARTEN MARTENS
Mr.. Maarten Martens has fallen into disfavor
IN his own country because he prefers 10 write
novels in English for large audience instead
OF in his native language for a small one; and
the literary guild Of the Netherlands has vent
ured 10 speak despitefully Of him
patriotic Dutchman who is ashamed Of his
country The publication Of this spirited lyric
Is a noble answer. If one We're needed 10 this
undeserved censure which has been passed upon
him He is in fact. one Of the most patriotic Of
Dutch authors and writes only Of his own coun-

I found the Orange colors artistically reproduced
IN Towering plants on the lawns outside King
Williams windows. Mr. Maarten Martens had
already begun to celebrate the accession Of the
Queen in this unique way. and was expecting
visit from her in some leisure hour when she
was In Soestdyk The lyric ought 10 help her 70
keep her appointment with this patriotic man OF
