VAN DYKE DENIES
ANY PEACE MISSION
Minister to Netherlands
to Confer with PreSi-
dent To-day.
From Tho Tribune Bureau

Washington, Dec. DIR. Henry van
Dyke, Minister to the Netherlands, had
a ,short conference with Secretary
Bryan to-day. lie denied that he
brought from the Queen of Holland
any message relating to efforts TO
bring about peace between the warring
nations of Europe, and deprecated the
idea that suggestions looking toward
peace were being put out secretly
either by this government or the gov
erEment of the Netherlands.
81 was rather surprised" he said,
chat the idea prevailed that diplo-
matte negotiations were being carried
on behind barred doors and closed win
dows. That is not the diplomacy OF
to-day. If we have anything to say
we say it openly and politely"
The Netherlands, Dr. van DYKE
added, like the United States, is fol-
lowing a course Of the strictest neu-
trality.
"The people are desirous of peace. as
VIC are over here" he said. Like
ourselves, they are so conducting them
selves that whatever influence they
might have in the way of extending
their good Offices for bringing about
peace will not be endangered"
The main purpose of DR.. van Dykes
visit to the State Department, he said,
was to explain what had been done by
the legation in assisting American refu-
gees to leave Europe. ave were the
reck Of the bottle" he said. Fifty
thousand Americans came through The
Hague. We pacihed some of the men,
consoled some of the women and, all
in all, accomplished our purpose with
little difficulty. Money was obtained
without trouble. and there was little
friction"
In addition to expediting the depart
ure Of Americans who were in Europe
when the war broke out, DR.. van Dyke
said that much work had been done in
the way of caring for the Belgian refu-
gees who had sought asylum with their
Dutch neighbors.
"This was accomplished" he said,
with the consent Of all the belligerent
nations involved in the war, by the
adoption of the American plans"
"If there was anything heroic about
the situation" he added, sit was the
way in which Holland tucked up her
skirts and rolled up her sleeves and
went at the work of caring for the refu
gees. There is scarcely house in the
country which has not sheltered two or
four Belgian families. One lady went
to the extent of renting a house in
which twelve Belgian families were
sheltered. She had only eleven at first,
but | found the twelfth for her.
admirable work is also being done
in caring for the interned soldiers, Ger
laan. French, British, whatever they
might be. 1t is inconvenient, of course,
and calls for sacrifices. but ali this is
being done in admirable spirit"
Dr. van Dyke will confer with the
President tomorrow.

is beginning TO emerge in its true sig

That battle petered out more than two

H H. Shepard.-The young man who
starts out in the game OF farming will
have many things to learn. no matter
whetter, he is college graduate or has
never even been kicked through the
hallway of an institution of higher
learning. All the essential problems
of life and business will confront him
just the same. All roads may lead to
Rome. but only a few narrow trails
lead to success in agricultural fields
Getting off these trails and attempting
TO ride on broader and smoother high
ways may lead to dreamlands, yet the
tables there are not furnished with
foods that satisfy and sustain. II is
safer to stick closer at home to the
plow handles. There will be time and
opportunity for visionary projects after
the first mortgage has been lifted and
the new house and barn built II is
not wise to bite hard on too many
things till all the teeth have been cut
and worn hard by eating common
things.

Herbert Myrick-The Clayton bill
now in Congress will permit agricul-
tural and labor organizations to per-
form their functions without interfer-
ence unless they violate the federal
antitrust law But does it encourage
cooperation in the interest Of the com
monweal. while discouraging the ex-
ploitation Of the people? No farmer
wants special privileges for himself or
anybody else, nor has ne sympathy
with any scheme to legalize a labor
trust. Farmers stand for equality be
fore the law. Labor at Washington
means that small fraction of workers
who are in federated unions. 1t has no
right TO speak for agriculture. Farm
ers have never Joined hands with la
boris attempt TO get special privilege
Congress should realize this truth and
not be led astray by vociferous dem
agogues.

WITH THE THINKERS
s>>>>>>>>>>>>>,

d. n. Morgan.-It is said that the
time is not ripe for cooperation among
our farmers. 1t may be so. 1t was
the case in Denmark and Ireland so
that until the people were reduced to
dire poverty they did not arise and
assert themselves. Denmark today
is one of the most prosperous coun-
tries in Europe and Ireland is increas-
ing in prosperity as she grows in the
cooperative spirit. The ultimate goal
of all agricultural interests is to make
rural communities better places to
live.

A series of small burglaries occurred in the Grove street section of the city Sunday morning before daylight. The house of Samuel smith was entered and Mir. smiths watch, a small sum Of money and some chocolate taken. At the Elliott home entrance was gained but nothing of any value has been mis. sed.
