All Of Holland
 Joins In Celebration
Celebrate Fourth Anniversary of the
 Birth of Princess ,Juliana,

The Hague, April 30.-All of Hol- land from Her Royal Highness, Queen Wilhelmina, down to the humblest peasant is celebrating today the fourth anniversary of the birth of Princess Juliana, known affectionate- ly as "The Orange Bud.' whose birth was generally regarded as the saving of the Dutch people from the clutches of the German war eagle.
 As has been done on all of the lit tie Princesses' past birthdays, prayers of thanks were offered in the churches throughout the land and festivities of various kinds are taking place in scores of communities. For eight years after her marriage to German Prince, Queen Wilhel- mia was childless. The Dutch prayed for an heir to the throne, and trem- bled when they thought of what mi ght i happen to the little Kingdom if the | Queen should die and leave her con- SOIt dS d CIdlllldIl Ol LHc lHFOHe. III Germany was to be prevented from clutching Holland in it's warlike tal- ons, then there must be an heir.
 Finally the prayers of the people, and the prayers of the Queen herself, who had grown thin and sickly, thus adding to the fears of her subjects, were answered.
 Rejoicing was unconfined. Holland fairly went into paroxysms of joy. l Celebrations were held everywhere.
 Every good Dutch subject bought a
 picture of the royal baby and now the infants pictures adorn about every household in the kingdom.
