that In order to bar that river efiicacious-

with pilots from Flushing.
There is no justification for the fort at
Flushing from the point of view of the
general defense of the Netherlands. or
from the point of view of the special de-
fense of the ways of access to iceland.
AS for duties that neutrality imposes on
the Netherlands in the Scheldt certain
Netherland circles hold ideas that may
be most disputed. But If one may not
contest the Netherlander's right to fortify
as he may wish any part of his territory
1t should be remarked that the Scheldt is

France possesses on the Scheldt two

of the Belgians for any forces that might
carry aid to Belgium in danger. Now if,
by the treaties of 1899, Holland did not

HOLLANDS POINT OF VIEW

Hollands point of view is still ques-
ton of absorbing interest In diplomatic
circles. Hollands de-
embodiment sire is to keep out Of
the great war game
which we are told
must be played soon When the game
commences Holland will not be asked.
perhaps. but forced to take a hand. AT
this moment the question of the coast
defenses Of Holland is exciting renewed
attention in English. German and French
circles. more interested than others and
for manifest reasons.
Holland, it is recalled. desired in 1910
to construct fort at Flushing. which
created fiutter at Brussels. London and
Paris. The actual project of Holland S
coast defense is limited to the Scheldt.
Now an important journal published at
The Hague. the Naderland, confesses
that the construction of fort at Flushing
could only be useful to Germany. and
hence 1t would be lance in the side OF
the powers destined to cooperate against
the assumed German invasion. The proJ-
ect of 1910 proposed the construction OF
the coast defenses of Holland. the fort
at Flushing being only an accessory.
NJ. Roland de Mares writes to the
Temps from Brussels submitting infor-
nation on this burning question of Flush
ing. According to NJ. de Mares the pre-
text invoked for the construction of the
fort at Flushing by the Netherlands Is
that the latters duty is to insure their
neutrality in the Scheldt and to prevent
the eventual landing of an enemy in
iceland. The correspondent shows the
absurdity of the landing at Flushing OF
an eXpeditionary corps of French or
English. This corps must needs cross
hostile country in order to make a dem
onstration against the German right wing.
Hollanders are of the opinion that the
fort will serve to prevent a German fleet
from Transforming Flushing into Ger
man naval base.

the two governments are absolutely ami
cable. The reciprocal confidence is such
that the persistence of the Hollanders in
the desire to construct fort at Flushing
commanding the entry of the Scheldt has
induced certain elements in Belgium to
consider that this fort. in place of being
a menace to Belgium, might indeed even

with precision, but that opinion is current
certainly in Flemish circles, and che may

ception ii is put forth that an Engl ;h
eXpeditionary corps proceeding to the sue
cor of Belgium invaded on the east could
also land at Zeebrugga to march by land
to Antwerp
1t has been suggested that in lieu of
an alliance between Holland and Belgium,
because of the common peril that men
aces each, a parallel defense might be
adopted by an agreement When Belgium
constructed her defenses on the Meuse

could be prolonged along the entire from

within few days several of our best
citizens have been made to pay good
money for bad. by order of the justices of
the peace, to persons claiming to have re-
ceived such bad money from them. In some
cases the possibility that the money was
passed by the accused was admitted and
all they required was the oath of the ac-
cuserS that it was and they gave good
money for the bad. In other cases, not
withstanding the oaths of accusers, the
