WOMEN SUFFERED
MANY HARDSHIPS
ON TRIP IN EUROPE
But Misses Schuff, of irving
ton, Wouldn't Have Missed
It for Anything"

Unnerved by their thrilling expert
ences in the heart of the European
war zone. Misses Martha and Elsie
Schulz. of SO Sanford avenue, Irving
ton, have returned home, ending
an exciting twenty-four- day Journey
from the Servian border.
Forced to stand up in crowded
cattle trains pressed into service, and
dumped out at nearly every crossroad,
often without food or water, the
Misses Schuff Travelled for ten days
on their way from Servia to LONDON,
where they shipped on the Allan line
steamer Corinthian, bound for Mon
treal. In danger OF icebergs and
halted many times By battleships. the
Corinthlan reached this country after
a fourteen day voyage
Familiar with European scenes and
foreign languages, they left for Italy
on June 80 for two months trip on
the continent. When Austria de-
clared war on Servia- they were on
the Servian border. Then began their
ten-day trip across the continent to
London. They reached France just
as war with Germany was declared,
and had no sooner started to cross
Germany than Russia declared war
They reached London at the time
England declared war on Germany.
All the passenger trains were used
to transport soldiers to the front
Tourists were compelled to travel in
cattle trains, the Compartments
crowded to three times their capacity.
Numerous times the occupants were
forced to alight, show their passports
and wait for another train. Both
water and food were scarce.
Our treatment was as good as
could be expected" said Miss Schuff
Our ability to speak foreign Ian
guages was a great assistance, and
we had an easier journey than many
others. OF course. we lost all our
baggage, though we are informed we
may be able to recover portions of it.
I'VE were all in the same plight
Miliionaires were without money or
belongings. They, like the rest of us
had only the clothes OH their backs.
"The Corinthian was halted num-
Der Of times by warships with a shot
across the bow. One shell grazed the
boat We are mighty glad to have
reached home safely, although now,
that our experiences are over, we
wouldn't have missed the trip for
anything"

ing from Liege.

special TO the Evening Star.
PATERSON, Aug. 26.-Safe in his
home, 46 Haledon avenue. last night,
e. r. Wander Veer described how the
war affected Holland. from which
country he returned Monday morning
on the Noordam. of the Holland
American line. after a sojourn there
of more than a month.
I'm Amsterdam. said Mr. Wander
Veer, II saw women walking the
streets begging. Although Holland is
not in the war, and doesn't want to
be in it. all able bodied citizens be-
tween the ages of eighteen and
thirty-five have been called to the
colors. They have mobilized to the
borders to protect them against in
cursions by the fighting powers.
When the husbandman is recruited
for service and the farmland goes
along, the women are left with their
fields and animals and they can't
manage all alone. The government
gives them a stipend, which is barely
enough to keep them from starving.
In the industrial centres it is even
worse. The mills and shops are
mostly shut down.
THE guards on the border did some
WOTh, LOO L Hey captured lliiy Ter
man soldiers and one Belgian officer,
who were caught on the Dutch side
of the boundary line. 1t is said the
German soldiers confessed that their
officer advised them to run to neutral
territory, rather than be shot by the
enemy They had been in the action
near Liege. Their capture was most
fortunate for them. AS prisoners of
war they have perfect freedom with
in the country and are fed and shell
tered by the government. 1 saw the
prisoners on their train.
AS far as 1 could judge, the Dutch
are not for either side. One thing
could be plainly read throughout all
the excitement--thatt the Dutch do not
want to be mixed up in this war The
notices for the men to get ready,
when the war was commenced, made
everyone terribly anxious. The ex-
citement of the crowds that jammed
the squares before the bulletins is
something / have never before wit
messed"

waves of patriotism that sweep over
a nation from time to time. Ii is
democratic in its appeal, embracing
all classes and filling them all with
the same mighty purpose. Germany
stands united.
Yesterday the German ambassa-
dor arrived from Berlin. He is on his
way to resume his duties at Wash
ington. In an interview he stated
quite simply, as if it was entirely a
matter of course: My wife has join
ed the Red Cross at Munich, my son is
with the Emperor's Guard, and would
] could serve my country at the
front. There is a spirit of self-sacri-
flee and courage behind Germany that
must win the admiration of the world.
Germany will win the war. Deter
mined men ready to make the extreme
sacrifice. directed by the master in
telligence of highly specialized COM
manders, make a combination that Is
well-nigh invincible. The morale of
the French army has suffered. The
advance of the Germans will continue
on the schedule mapped out by the
general staff.
"It appears that three separate
French armies have been defeated.
The one commanded by General Joffre
Berlin reports it as practically de-
stroyed The British troops have re-
treated in better order upon the forts
at Lille and Mauberge. The Rus
slams are advancing in eastern Prus-
sia. An early winter in that part of
Germany will put stop to all opera
tions on the part of Russia. The
strong German fortresses will hold the
line for months The great campaign
against Russia will be undertaken
next spring.
when I first decided on writing
this column in English / warned my
readers against certain bias that I
feared would show from time to time.
I have as great love for the Water
land as man born in New York city
can well have. Today ! feel my pen
running riot. Something about this
war arouses the primitive in me;
something about these great victories
Stirs my heart. l can hear the tramp
of that great army and the song aris-
ing from many a battlefield:
"Lieb Vaterlands magst runig
sein.'"

STATE DEMOCRATS WILL MEET
IN JULY
Council Bluffs is Chosen by Commit
tee as place for Convention
on the 23rd.

Des Moines, March 25.-Counci
Bluffs was selected as the meeting
place of the 1914 state convention OF
the democratic party at the meeting
of the members of the state centra
committee at the KirkwoOd hotel
The date of the convention was fixed
for Thursday, July %.
A resolution was unanimously
passed requesting Mr.. Reed to retain
the position of chairman until after
the state convention. The resolution
Endorsed the efforts Mr.. Reed has
put forth to secure harmony among
Iowa democrats and condemned eff
forts on the part of certain newspa-
pers and democrats to secure his re-
moval because of his appointment as
marshal for the southern district.
DR.. J. w. Reynold ofs Creston, j.
j. Hughes of Council Bluffs, and l..
S. Remington of Newton, were APP
pointed as a committee to perfect ar
rangements for the convention.
Before leaving State Chairman
Reed announced that he would open
the democratic headquarters office
April End, and take personal charge
of it and to receive the papers of the
candidates for the party nominations
and place them on file. He will al
low a period of twenty days in which
to accomplish this work. Most OF
the nomination papers must be filed
with the secretary of state by April
%.

THE MIDAS STATE.

There are lands flowing with milk
and honey, there are terrestrial para
discs, but Iowa, it seems, is the real
farm Ell Dorado, the prairie Golcon-
da
There natures horn of plenty has
been so continuously at WORK pour
ing out wealth that every farmer has
become Croesus, now lending to in
digent corporations where he once
borrowed In one town of 200 peo-
pie are seventy-seven registered and
licensed automobiles, and in the saw
ings banks of this town $4,000 co.
Thanks to corn at Is cents bushel
higher under a democratic than un-
der a republican tariff, thanks also
to the ever-active hen and other re-
sources of natural wealth, Iowa is
now a "billion dollar state the Mi
das commonwealth of the Middle
West.
If the Stock Exchange ever decides
definitely to leave New York, 1t
should consider the advantages OF
Iowa. But are there not perils to the
state in the publicity which its new
member in congress has given its
riches? viii it not incur the sus-
picion of Money trust investigating
committees and become liable to fed
ieral security as to interlocking farm
ownership? But assuming that these
evidences of wealth are reflected in
the income tax returns of Iowa farm
ers, the fact will serve to refute the
argument against that measure that
it was class legislation aimed at the
weather. east-New York World.

THE IMPUDENCE OF MONOPOLY.

The coastwise shipping trade OF
the United States is held by one OF
the highest monopolies of the world.
Federal laws expressly reserve this
rich commerce to ships of American
registry, and prohibit all foreign yes
sells from taking part in it. No mat
ter how low shipping rates may fall
elsewhere, no matter how many
freighters are lying idle in foreign
flarbors, their competition can not eff
feet the coastwise trade of the Unit
ed States The trust which handles
that trade has cinch.
Imagine every citizen of this cOun-
try forbidden by law to buy iron or
steel from any foreign manufacturer.
The steel trust then would have the
same kind of a strangle hold that the
coastwise shipping trust has now.
1t is this coastWise shipping trust
which is fighting for exemption from
Panama canal tolls. 1t is this trust
which claims free use of work that
cost the American people $375,000,-
900. 1t is this highly favored and
law-protected monopoly which de-
mands that treaties be broken to
suit it's pleasure, and that national
pledges be dishonored to satisfy its
greed for unearned wealth.
Is it possible for brazen impudence
to go further?
Every consideration of honor, OF
expediency and of commercial COM
mon sense unites in demanding that
the exemption clause of the Panama
canal act be repealed. The trust
which is fighting that repeal is prov
ing once more that monopolies have
neither conscience nor patriotism
