HOLLAND NOT TO
Get into STRIFE
But Country Is Suffering Great
ly in Commercial Way
Thousands Are Idle.

Rotterdam, (via London) Aug. "a
While the major part of Europe is in a
state of war and it is believed in the
Netherlands it is to be one of EXTERN
ination, the burghers of Holland man
age to live normal lives. The feeling
is the country will not be dragged into
the bloody struggle.
Holland, nevertheless, is hard hit
commercially. On the fields in rot
are thousands of tons of vegetables,
formerly consumed by England and
Germany The dairy market suffers
and in the ports thousand bottoms
lie Idle. Unemployed in Rotterdam
alone number $4,000 and the total in
the entire country is 100000. The sit
uation is not desperate as the Dutch
are a thrifty race, but the question is
how long their savings will last. Hol-
land under normal conditions does
tremendous business with Germany,
whose export trade keeps much of the
Dutch canal, river and oversee ship
ping employed. Now there is none of
this. Forces have been mobilized and
all is ready for the breaking of dykes
at the first overt act against the ma
tion's security.

Won Bernstorff, Back From
Berlin, Gives Jealousy
as War Cause.
WIFE WITH RED CROSS
Says When Story of Liege Is
Told Americans Will Have
Different Opinion.

New York, Aug. 24.-Count Won
Bernstorff, German ambassador to the
United States, who returned to his
post today, gave out one of the most
authoritative interviews yet expressed
here on Germany's attitude toward the
war. Germany is bound to win in the
end. he said. She is fighting because
her cause is just He predicted Amer
leans would come to regard the con-
fict in this light. Italy, he believed,
would not take sides against Germany.
''My wife is with the Red Cross"
he said. My son is with the emper-
or's guards. All my secretaries are
at the front. Germany is united to
defend herself against an unwarranted
attack of jealous powers. The Eng
lish cut the cable to this neutral coun-
try for the sole purpose of preventing
the truth coming here. Calling of the
Japanese into the European quarrel
shows England does not feel safe.

opinion. Troops under Won Emmich
numbered only between 5000 and 5000
infantry and cavalry. The taking Of
Liege was one of the greatest military
feats of modern times. What was ex-
pected to take weeks was accomplish
ed in days by two brigades.
Crown Prince Not Wounded. =
''Von Emmich was slightly wounded
in the leg, but did not relinquish his
command The crown prince was
not wounded by an assassin in Ber-
lin. The crown prince was not wound
ed before Liege. He is in command
of his troops at the fortress of Metz.
The last great German victory / heard
of before leaving Berlin was one at
Metz by the army under the crown
prince.
Reports of the Russian invasion of
east Prussia are probably true. That
part of the German frontier is not
heavily fortified. But the Russians
will never cross the Vistula. Fifteen
corps of the Austrian army, each COM
prising 10000 men, are now on the
Russian frontier of Austria in Ger

lists, 100000 men, upon WHOM the
government had no claim for military

The ambassador said his govern
ment had been informed that the Rus
sian civil and military authorities had
withdrawn from Poland and that the
Poles had set up an independent gov
ernment with Warsaw as the capital.

The proclamation of the emperor

Japan's entrance upon the fulfillment

Cheering crowds assembled yester-
day before the buildings occupied by
the department of foreign affairs and
the administration of the navy. Last
evening there were lantern process

lar manifestations, however, do not
approach the enthusiasm which pre-
ceded the war with Russia.

Paris. Aug. 24.-Colonel Folque,

for a perilous mission, and called for
volunteers.
Those who undertake this mission
will perhaps never come back" he
said, land he who commands prob
ably will be one of the first sons of
France to die for his country in this

Volunteers were numerous. a young
graduate of a polytechnic school asked
for the honor of leading those who
would undertake the mission. 1t was
the son of Colonel Folque. The latter
paled, but did not finch. His son did
not come back.
