GERMAN SENTRY
(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 24.-The Dutch
and German soldiers who have been
patrolling on opposite sides of the
boundary line since the war began
have been ordered to withdraw from
close contact on account of the fact
that a number of disagreeable Incl
dents have occurred. Up to the be-
ginning of February the Dutch sold
iers and the Germans paced side by
side and carried on conversations. 1t
appears that trouble sometimes arose
through the expression of diverse
views, so the commanders of the pa
trolls have now separated the men by
distance of 100 yards. Between the
small strip of territory separating the
Dutch from the German sentries no
one is permitted to go except on chance
of being Immediately shot
Behind the frontier line on both
sides have been erected field fortifca-
lions in the shape of trenches and gun
emplacements. Those in Dutch terri
tory are so placed as to render i'm
possible any surprise inroad into the
Netherlands, and they are defended by
strong bodies of troops. On the oppo-
site side in Belgium the entertainments

and are evidently intended to offer
shelter to the German army in case it
should find itself obliged to retire from
its present positions in Flanders.
There is a strong feeling among the
Dutch troops that the Germans will be
forced over the frontier in Limburg

push them out of Belgium. This little

west by Belgium and on the east by
Germany. 1t is very narrow and would
offer great temptation to a retreating
army trying to get away from its pur-
suers. The Dutch realize this and are
determined to oppose any such action
by every means in their power
On the other side of Holland the
the greatest attention of the Dutch
Government is directed toward the
prevention of attempts to smuggle con-
traband articles over the frontier from
Holland into Germany. These at
tempts are frequent owing to the profit
attached to such transactions. The
precaution taken against such runs"
are of the most extreme severity. The
frontier line is patrolled night and
day and the troops engaged in this
work are frequently changed so that
they may not become too intamate
with the inhabitants of the frontier
districts and so be inclined to display
laxity in their vigilance.
While these efforts to maintain a
strict neutrality are maintained there
has been some criticism of the Dutch
Government in consequence of its &C
ton in keeping such a large number of
troops under arms. Premier Cort van
der Linden, however, maintains that
the position taken up has been the only
correct one under the circumstances
and declares that the Government is
sure that the Netherlands WILL Meth

There is a strong movement among
a section of the people in favor of an
appeal for Intervention in the interests
of peace. There exists an "Anti-War
League" which has displayed great
activity and petitions are placed ev-
erywhere for signature asking the
Queen of the Netherlands to make
some move in this direction.

but the Democratic leaders see moth

legislative body. It will be close
caIl either way. with all the advant-
aees in favor Of the Republicans.
II Is sixteen months until the cleo
ton, and many things may happen in
that time to swing the pendulum one
way or the other. but the greatest
hope Of the Republicans is centered
in the election Of Senators by popular
vote instead Of legislatures. as here
tofore. A Republican tidal wave GER
Gainly would accomplish the end
hoped for. Under the old system Of
election Of Senators by legislatures
It would be q practical impossibility
to mako the change. But shifts in the
Senate are more frequent now that
the direct elections system obtains.
The Democratic majority in the
senate is 6. This means that nine
Democratic Senators will be replaced
by the Republicans If the Republicans
are to control. Thirtytwo Senators
WIN be elected next year. OF the 80,
II are Democrats and Is Republicans.
Tor the Republicans to capture nine
OF the II Democratic seats is no easy

accomplishment. = Wheeling Intelli-
