Holland 10 for Holland and that indeed
Is the fact, or course there are people
in Holland favoring one side or the other.
just as there are here. but certainly Il Is
correct to say that the people. the Gov
eminent and the public men are for peace,
neutrality and Holland.
There is no thrilling story In that but
what the people OF the Netherlands have
done for the assistance of the thousands
OF Belgian refugees, who poured into their
country. Is a thrilling story. II has been
magnificent. Holland rolled up her
sleeves. pinned up her pet;!coats and wcn;
to work. Hardly a house but has its
share OF the Belgian refugees.
"One friend OF mine even rented an
other house in addition to his own and
placed in Il twelve Belgian families who
were destitute" With a Chuckle. the Min
lister added she had eleven. but I man
aged to secure another family for her to
take care Of. making an even dozen"
President Wilson let Il be known to-day
that, 80 far as he Is aware at the pres
ent time. NJ concerted action among ma
lions looking to the restoration OF peace
in Europe Is now In sight.
