IN HOLLAND

ROTTERDAM, Nov. 5,-Holland is suffering poverty from the war and the really poor are in bad straits.
 Money is being collected fof the support of the poor. The fact is that Rotterdam, like all port cities, has sub-stratum of inhabitants to whom bare feet, lll-clothed back and empty stomach are of greater concern than all else. Already the policemen patrol in pairs, and where formerly it was crime to spend a night sleeping on bench in the park this no longer arouses even the slightest attention.
 What will come with the advent of winter is something of which men think but do not talk There will be an end even to the amount of money the better classes of the country can spend in charity work. Realization of this was signalized when a few days ago the Chamber of Commerce and other civic societies decided to bring collections to a definite basis. Contri- buttons are made in certain amounts and at stated intervals, but their con tinuation necessarily depends upon the economic conditions of those who make them. With business almost at a standstill there is no telling when that time will be reached. With the coming of winter, too the demands are bound to become heavier and needs more pressing. All this is best understood when one sees and hears that the better classes are taking the wise precaution of providing against mob violence against their homes.
 The systematic interference of Eng lard 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 preser- vation of her neutrality. That some grain has entered Germany from HOl- land 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 confscated. The Dutch gov ernment has agreed that food belorg- ing to those articles which have been included in the list of commodities coming under the head of "hostile assistance" and at present Germany is getting none of these. Some time ago it was learned that some Dutch far mers along the border had been doing a little business with Germans, but now this has been stopped.
 It is felt here, therefore, that Eng land and France might be little more lenient with Dutch shipping. Holland herself needs the products of her col onies, but as the case of the Rotter- dam Lloyd steamer TambOra has demonstrated these two belhgerents are not greatly interested in this. The cargo taken consisted largely of alim- enaries, such as coffee, tea, cocoa and the small quantities of rice and tapi- oca could not have materially increas-

 THE HAGUE, Nov. 5.-The trag- edy of war is pictured in the letter of an unnamed first lieutenant which ap- peared in the Cologne Gazette of re- cent date.
 "The woman in whose house I am quartered and whose husband is in the field, "he writes, told me in tears this morning:
 Since two months no news. We do not know where my husband is.
 "The woman and her family do not even know in what regiment the man serves. That is terrible! The woman wanted to know how many French had been killed. tried to console her by telling her that many had been made prisoners of war. And now she has fastened every hope upon this.
 "When hear that at home children go to school and that everything pro- gresses more or less in the regular channels, am compelled to say a prayer of thanksgiving that our country has been spared. You ought to see the disorder here. The country side is overcrowded with troops, there is nc administration, the crops are still in the fields, and famine threat ems. The people are irresOlute and deiected.
 'It is now eight days since the fight ing in the Forest of - think of the events with shudder. It is differ ent when you are fighting out in the open, but to fight in the woods-in the deep forest--is awful. The explosions of the shells reverberated through the forest and the heavy bombs cut lanes through the trees. We did not know most of the time where the shells came from. It was impossible to re- turn the fire. In the morning We saw the French cook their breakfast, but we could do nothing because we had to conceal our position.
 "There is one picture will never forget. On September first we shot down patrol Of chasseurs; two men who were in cover were taken prison CTS. When the skirmish was over l went with one of the chasseurs to where the officer in charge of the pat rol had fallen.
 q saw immediately that the man had died from a shot through the heart. But the chasseur who accOmp- anied me, and who evidently was very fond of the officer, asked me, with great concern in his voice: Does my officer live? shook my head, saying; "'No, he is dead:' And then a very touching thing occurred. The soldier fell to his knees beside the dead officer and prayed for a long time. A grlp- ping picture. On the ground, in flood of sunlight, lay four dead horses. My men stood about them in ring, and in this circle rested the dead officer with the private praying at his side. We were silent-the silence of death was upon us; but through it we heard the steps of Death, who may gather us tomorrow.
 q, too, said a prayer for the brave enemy, the dead comrade-Lieutenant of Reserve Gaston Forgues of Bord- ealx."
