Belligerent Nations.

Holland, to prove her sincerity in re-
naming neutral, will carry no cargo
bound TO belligerent nations in vessels
flying her flag, according to Information
received at the local office OF the Hol-
land American Line today. Shippers
have been notified that goods intended
only for the Netherlands will be carried
from the ports of the United States.
The Zyldyk. of the Holland-American
Line. is scheduled to leave here on
October S and agents are adhering strict
ly to orders and are not booking any
goods other than those consigned to
Holland. 1t must be sent to the govern
ment where it is closely scrutnlzed by
inspectors.
1t was rumored that Dutch steamships
were carrying supplies which eventually
reached Germany. Thus rumor caused
British warships to hold up vessels to

their manifest. Fears that some unwise
agents might commit breaches of neu-
trality and a desire to obviate its possi-
blity are the reasons gwen for the new
orders.
