Holland Strongly Anti German

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Kruijff's interesting letter in to-
days issue setting forth the real sentiments
of the people of Holland in regard to this
war explains situation too little under
who, in consequence of number of sojourns
in tina. wonderful little country, has grown to
have a very warm feeling for the Dutch, I
should like TO add few words as sort Of
footnote to what Mr.. Kruijff has written.
Holland has three centres of public opin-
ion: Rotterdam, The Hague, and Amster
dam. Up 10 last summer Rotterdam and Ant
werp were neck-and-neck rivals as western
ports of German commerce. Hence at the
opening Of the war a great many business
men of Rotterdam sided with their COM
mercial allies rather than their commercial
competitors The sentiments held by these
men were voiced by the "Rotterdamsche Cou-
rant" to such an extent that this widely read
newspaper was severely criticised in all parts
of Holland. While now less pro-German, it
is still the mouthpiece of the Rhine traders.
The Hague is a cosmopolitan city. Al.
sorts of opinions are held there; but the
court, which dominates, has a pro-German
bias. for the reason that the Prince COnsort
lis himself a German. Never over-popular
with the real Dutch, Queen Wilhelmina's hus-
band is now still less so.
The true centre Of opinion in Holland is
Amsterdam. This city is strongly anti-Ger-
man. Its splendid newspapers "De Tele-
graf" and the "Algemeene Handelsblad'
never mince matters in discussing Germany
outraSes in Belgium and elsewhere. Aside
from Rotterdam and The Hague, where as
have indicated, sentiment is divided, virtually
all tha important cities of Holland Harlem,
Utrecht, Zaandam, Alkmaar, Amersfoort, etc
feel as Amsterdam does
The rank and file of the people are very
bitter against the Germans. Even before the
country was flooded with refugees, the Dutch
expressed the strongest sympathy for Bel
GUM | conversed with people in many
walks of life and in many parts of Holland -
peasants, business men, soldiers, Red Cross
workers, heads Of relief committees, an off
Ger of the Dutch navy-without hearing sin
gle expression of pro-Germanism. The only
such expression | met with was overheard in a
railway carriage; peculiarly unpleasant per.
son was championing the German cause
against all the other people in the COM
partment
Even in Maastricht, the capital of the prov.
ince Of Limburg, | found the sentiment
strongly anti German.
No; as Mr.. KruijfF truly says, the people
of Holland will never allow their land to be
made a second Turkey.

Cutting Down Living's Cost.

II is not feasible, of course, for all
workmen, especially those forced to be
dwellers in large cities, to follow the ex-
ample of the employees of the Frick Coke
Company who have just submitted re-
turns on their garden contest. These
men-6,S19 heads of families-cultivated
company property, raising vegetables
valued at $186,5S5. at current market
rates. Nevertheless, if every workingman
who can obtain access to small plot OF
ground were to cultivate kitchen garden
there, it would appreciably lessen his fam
ily's living cost and might even contribute
toward a reduction of the current prices
of produce for those unable to raise their
own.
This country is so new and so given 20
thinking of farms as huge areas for cul-
tivation that the idea of utilizing every
bit of land as Europeans do makes little
Roadway here. Intensive cultivation is
practised. but on the outskirts of Eastern
cities where some farmers are making
good livings by Intensive cultivation OF
small tracts of land there are other tracts
just as good lying idle which at least
could be made to yield vegetable supplies
for several families and at the same time
paw small rental if cultivated by a few
workmen in their spare time. School
children's gardens on vacant lots in va
rious sections Of this city show the pos
sibilities of such ventures. The old Amer
lean idea that every family with access
to a bit of land should have its own gar
den was an excellent one. 1t would be
rood to have it revived.

technicality, of every excuse for delay
which they have been able to work into the
procedure through the lawyers in the Leg
islature.
The judiciary section for the proposed
new constitution which Mr.. Root was in
lstrumental in having adopted seems like
Ilv TO check this kind of work, if not TO
prevent it altogether. 1t demands that
the Legislature at its next session act on
the report of the Board of Statutory Con-
soldation. adopting a simple civil prac-
tice act and a separate set of civil prac-
tice rules. The Legislature may, each five
years, appoint commission to report on
changes in the law and rules governing
civil procedure; and may act on each re-
port by one bill. But thereafter the Leg
lislature is to be debarred from changing
the procedure, which is to be done by the
courts.
Criticism Of the legal tactics which
Weld claw" instead Of justice is by no
means confined to laymen. 1t has come
recently from bar associations and emf
Inent lawyers Of wide vision who have used
words as soaring as Mr.. Roots. 1t is to
lawyers of that brand that the community
must look for an abatement of these evils.
The lawyers themselves must clean their
own house. If this proposed constitu-
uonal amendment will help them to do it
and tend to prevent the less scrupulous
ones from defiing it thereafter, it should
by all means have general public support.

Whiskers in Warfare.

The very god of war himself is bearded.
The war lord wears a mustache. 1t can
not seem surprising, therefore, that some
growth Of hair upon the face should be
deemed necessary to the martial makeup.
"He that hath a beard is more than a
youth, and he that hath no beard is less
than a man."
Americans will remember the Kaisers
Idispleasure, expressed less than year be-
fore the outbreak of war with those Ger
man officers who went clean shaver "in the
manner of Americans" He wanted more
mustaches; he had set the fashion for real
men, let them follow it.
But all over this troubled planet the in
stinct to cultivate the whisker in prepare
ton for mortal combat as a part Of the
dread panoply of war, prevails. In our
own Civil War it will be recalled that
almost every general looked warily out
from behind his private jungle. In Paris
the poihl puts to shame the shaver boule-
warbler, the depised esp6ce d'6pllG. In
Great Britain, despite the Kaiser's known
sentiments in its favor, the mustache still
reigns pre-eminent though no longer in
the Dundreary style, as the Dundee Ad-
vertiser" points out in the following his
torical resume of war and whiskers:
At the time of the Crimea our officers went
into action behind great bushy boards like
wire entanglements, growths that contrived a
double debt 10 pay, being chest protectors by
night and ornaments by day. These were fol-
lowed by those fnlike appendages known
variousy as sideboards. The present war has
brought with it a new fashion in hair.
Boards have disappeared from the army, to-
gether with the soft and wavy mustaches
popular after South Africa. In their stead
we have springing up more or less all round
us this tiny stubbe growth, this mere smear
of mustache without which no commission
is complete. All over England young officers
are cultivating the new lip-fringe, coaxing 1t
and training it to the correct bristliness,
stroking it fondly upward, and bringing 1t
up in the way il should go
Preparedness is, indeed, growing in pop
ular favor among our English cousins.
Still, if one sought precedent for the
introduction Of clean shaver warriors he
might turn to the Romans, who fought well
