7 IMMEDIATELY after leaving Belgium | en-
tered Holland and visited two of its noted
Cities The Hague and. Amsterdam, which
are very peculiar, remarkable and important
cities. The Hague though smaller than some of
the Netherand cities is none the less in its char
acter and quality for that. In some respects it
intensihes its real excelences The Hague is
very beautifully located naturally, which has been
improved very much by skill and labor. 1t has
fine and extensive parks. bouevards and very
charming suburban places. 1t has large and at
tractive public and private buildings It's resi-
dence quarters are very homelike and clean and
seem like very desirable places to live. There
are two quite large Protestant cathedrals or
churches. The chief attraction of The Hague is
it's wonderful seaside resort, Scheveningen, with
its delightful beach and surf its splendid pier that
extends far out into the sea. The many institu-
tons hotels, restaurants, stores and places OF
amusement, make it one of the most desirable re-
sorts for wholesome pleasure and recreation that
can be found anywhere. Then it is so close to
the city that no time is lost in going to and from
it, which also makes it easily accessible to the
common people. The Hague, doubtless because
Of its central location and because of its many
other exceTencies, has been chosen by the nations
of the world as a most desirable place for the
Peace Tribunal. or the court for the settlement
of national questions in manner that will avoid
resort to war. If this should succeed as it GER
tainly ought TO do. no place in the world would be
more notable than The Hague. The exact place
in The Hague chosen for the Peace palace is a
very desirable one, with very peaceful and charm
ing surroundings.
Amsterdam, the capital of Holland. is a re-
markabe place in many respects In the Ian
guage of another: Amsterdam is as good as
Venice, with a super added humour and grotesque-
ness which gives the sightseer the most singular
zest and pleasure; a run through Peking one could
