Dutch Wonder and Whisperings
of Peace Arise.

Amsterdam, Nov. dispatch to "The
London Daily Chronicle. THE pres
ence in Holland OF larger numbers Of
Germans than have been seen for a
long time is causing much speculation.
The Germans are buying large quanti-
ties of goods, including food supplies,
but most Of their purchases are such
as the Dutch government does not al
low TO be exported.
German buyers seem 70 show no IN
clination. as hitherto. 70 try to get
their goods over the frontier. Instead,
they are making arrangements for the
commodities to remain in Dutch ware
houses for the time being. Many
Nctherianders regard these proceed
ings as indicating the approach OF some
sort of armistice. during which export
problems might temporarily be re-
moved. Others even suggest the en-.
terprise may mean that peace is looked
for. and that preparations already are
being made TO cope with the tremen-
dous rush to buy foodstufs, which
would arise in such an event
In any case, the circumstances are
unusual. and the Dutch are convinced
that some extraordinary object ID in
view.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. s.-The announce
ment OF William J. Bryan, made
through his brother, Mayor Bryan OF
Lincoln, that he would use his whole
influence to defeat Democratic ceIdi
dates for the Legislature who did not
take direct stand for prohibition, has
stirred up a big row in the party.
Newspapers identified with the anti
Bryan faction are calling Bryan a die
tator and party splitter. They say
that he is turning his back on !aen
who helped him in every one Of his
Presidential campaigns and that it will
spell certain defeat for all Democ, ats
next year. besides imperilling the ma
tional ticket.
The people are TO have an opportunity
next year TO vote for prohibition
amendment. 1t is generally believed
they will adopt it. But a constitu
tional amendment Is of little value
without laws to carry it into effect, and
the liquor interests are making their
plans TO control the Legislature.
The discovery by Mayor Bryan Of
these plans was followed by the an
nouncement that the ex-Secretary of
State would take the stump and fight
all who opposed prohibition.
