providing against mob violence

of providing against mob violence
against their homes.
The systematic interference of Eng
land and France with Dutch shipping
is not relished here. Holland, it is
said. has given every proof that she is
willing to do her best for the preserva-
ton of her neutrality. That some grain
has entered Germany from Holland
cannot be denied. but recently the
government has put . stop to this. All
railroad cars entering Germany are
now examined by the military authori
ties along the border, and all contra
band is confiscated.
The Dutch government has agreed
that food belonging to those articles
which have been included in the list
of comm ODDITIES comes under the head
of hostile assistance" and at present
Germany is getting none of these
Some time ago it was learned that
some Dutch farmers along the border
had been doing a little business with
the Germans, but now this has been
stopped.
Resent Allies Acts.
1t is felt here. therefore, that Eng
land and France might be little more
lenient with Dutch shipping. Holland
herself needs the products of her
colonies, but, as the case of the Rotter-
dam Lloyd steamer Tambora has
demonstrated, these two belligerents
are not greatly interested in this The
cargo taken. consisting largely of ALI
mentaries, such as coffee, tea, cocoa
and the small quantities of rice and
tapioca, could not have materially in
creased the food supply of Germany
had it really found its way into that
country. 1t was also felt that the
seizure by the French of $50 silver
.ingots consigned to the Netherland
Bank, and virtually Dutch government
property. was not an act of necessity.
But with the Hollanders it is truly
case of grin and bear, though it is
not likely that they will forget-pro-
vided it will serve their purpose ul-
timately to remember. That Germany
might have done the same thing had
positions been reversed has no bearing
or the matter. The fact is that Hol-
land has been given a strong taste of
what supremacy means. and the feel
ing is that the flag of Holland has
never meant so little or counted for
less. For a people as intensely patri-
otto as the Netherlands this is cause
for keen resentment, and that this re-
sentiment must not be given expression
hurts all the more.

Marble Quarries of Vermont.

From Popular Mechanics Magazine
The greatest marble producing indus
try in the world is no longer to be
found in the famous Carrara district
of Italy, but in Vermont, where one OF
the richest veins in the world stretches
in an Irregular line across the state.
So great is the production OF marble in
this section that the inhabitants have
lost much of their appreciation of its
value and use it for such humble and
unitarian purposes as paving, under
pinning for barns, hitchinG posts. step
ping stones and drinking troughs for
horses This vein is about ffty-seyen
miles long, from 1850 to 200 feet in
width and runs from 375 to $50 feet
in depth, and from it is being taken in
enormous quantities white marble that
is equal to the finest Italian marble,
as well as an endless variety of blue,
yellow, green and jet-biack marbles.
For quarrying and finishing the mar
BILE the most up-to-date methods and
equipment are used, no part of the
work being done by hand that can
possibly be done by machinery. Hand
methods of drilling, still in vogue in
Italy, have been entirely superseded
by poWer-driven drills and channeling
machines. The blocks as they come
from the quarry are handled by der
ricks and are conveyed in most cases
by an inclined railway or ropeway
to the mills. where they are sawed and
shaped by power-driven machines,
only the last delicate stage of polish
ing being done by hand.

Drafted Men Who Got Bounty.
ON the New York Mail.

From the New York Mail.
The officials who superintended the
drawing of names of men for the
service during the civil war were gen.
orally civilians and local officials in
the town or county where the draw
ing was made. They knew the men
who were drafted. and sometimes they
made use of that knowledge to- give
advance Information of the fact to a
drafted man. Upon receiving this in
formation the drafted individual went
instantly to the nearest enrolling of
flee, enlisted volunteer and got
the bounty that was paid for volun-
teers. Sometimes cities, towns and
counties had such difficulty in filing
their quotas that the bounties, local
state and other, amounted to 500 or
$500. They were seldom less than $500.
The enrolment of the man as a yoIun-
teer having been accomplished. his
was then announced. But
it was too late; he was already a vol
unteer. And when he had received his
bounty he divided it with the man who
had tipped him off.
Naturally this process did not relieve
the drafted man of his military serv-
ice, but it gave him few hundred
dollars, and also put him in a more
creditable position before his fellows
and posterity.

The End of a Feud.
rom the Chicago Tribune.


Children of New York's East Side
have for years been sworn enemies of
the police. But they are enemies no
longer. The ancient feud is at an end.
The grievance which the children in
the congested districts had against the
'coppers" was that they interfered with
their play. No sooner had a crowd of
youngsters started a game of base ball
In the Street-which is the only place
they can play-than policeman ap-
peared on the scene and dispersed
them. If one of the boys protested he
was arrested, dragged to the juvenile
court, and sometimes even sentenced to
a term in the reforratory.
All this has been changed, at least in
limited area of the metropolis. Police
Commissioner Woods has determined
that war upon play must cease, but
that play must be localized He has
accordingly ordered certain East Side
streets closed to traffic from 3 to $50
o'clock in the afternoon. In these
streets the children can play after
school. embarrassed by automobiles or
trucks and free from police interfer-
ence.
New York's experiment is not a solu-
ton of the play problem. 1t is merely
a temporary makeshift. 1t is impor-
tant, however. because it shows the re-
lations between the lack of opportuni-
ties for play and crime. The hatred
which the child conceives for the police
often stays with him through life The
desire to foil the coppers" may easily
lead him into lawbreaking when he
grows up. Society can ill afford tot
make play not only difficult, but law
less.

She was one of the Belgian refugees

There were others on board who had

sat at her side. He wore the great
wooden shoes of the Belgian peasant,

loose cap was pulled down over his

might be seen through gaps in his torn
