After some quite trying train experiences,
wet, wet Holland. Holland on a rainy day,
dawned on my eye through the gray Dutch
mists. And now I understand a trifle bet
ter the gray atmosphere Of the Dutch
school OF old painters. II comes right from
Holland and not only from the magma
ton OF those homely artists Of homely,
staid. and sensible Holland, as the bright
lights OF Swedish paintings finds its ex-
PLANTATION in the prismatic elearness Of
Swedish atmosphere, and not from some
mere artistic fancy. The canals smelt IN

count on IL. Holland does not seem to lie
in all the industrial agonies OF other Eu-
ropean nations. They know how to thrive,
that rich and prosperous little people. Ny
time in The Hague was TO brief. but the
museum I had TO see. Certainly an econ
omical establishment for great art treas
ures. That the Dutch can endure such a
building for their masterworks OF art, l
cannot understand. except on the ground
OF Dutch conservatism n Dutch fru-
gality. The palace. too, is an unpreten-
tiOus affair in a rather shut-in location.
Holland does not pride itself on Partisan
show, but on its native cOmmon-sens
thrift and ability 10 take care Of itself.
How Germany would like TO make that
little kingdom a province OF its own

some rich Dutch blood split before that
takes place. You find a peculiar quaint
ness TO this capital. The Hague. Some
find shaded avenues give a honey effect
to the small town metropolis. I expected
to find, though, more striking Examples OF
old Dutch architecture. Alas. the prosy
modern styles have forced many old struc-
lures away. You must go to towns and
villages now for these. Order. cleanliness
and system mark The Hague as IL does
most North European cities. II YOU wish
anything In brass, go 20 The Hague. The
yellow metal giares at you all over the

Our first secular need is obedience TO
law. Just one little German experience
One day in Mainz 1 was invited by
the lieutenant mentioned IN a previous let
ter. to a round in the barracks Of Mainz.
1 was informed to take the car to a certain
point, but not knowing the difference be-
tween Rasteel and Kasteel-Mainz 1 stepped
off too soon and, OF course, saw no lieu-
tenan there. Presently another officer
came along. S~aluting him as politely as I
ccIld I presumed TO trespass on his mill
tary majesty's time and asked him II he
knew where lieutenant so and so lived.
No. he did not Then I told him my plight
and said that 1 had expected TO meet the
gentleman here, as he had directed me TO
stop off at the RasteI. Like a flash and
with German military precision he in
stantly replied: Then you must also re-
main here" CDa muessen Sic auch hier
bleiben). The nswer was so obvious that
for a moment 1 felt abashed- And off the
man walked. How could a German officer
fail TO come to this exact spot OF terra
firma, when he had said he would. That
was his colleagues reasoning. He almost
convinced me 10 remain on that very spot,
had I not just then discovered that Kas-
tell and KastelE-Mainz were two different
places in the region. Laugh as We win al

ment Of national welfare it Is none the less
