HOLLANDS ExPERlRNcE.

Neutrality is the only consistent course for the nation which Is not in- voIved In the war; but every one which has so declared it's position has found out that even neutrality is beset with difficulties.
 This country has had it's experiences, but because of the location Holland finds itself in a much more trying po- sition. Not only is that country put to a tremendous expense in maintain ing a mobilized army for the protec- ton of it's own borders and the up- holding of it's neutrality. but the fact that it borders upon the countries al war has tremendous effect upon the business activity. Its ports are the natural outlets and inlets for getting supplies to and from the Teutonic al- 1tes. and dsfoEE thai xaason thaE a& ancd

THE RECALLING OF HAMILTON.

Just what significance there is in the recall of Sir Ian Hamilton to Lon- don to report remains to be disclosed. It may be the first real indication of the determination to abandon that campaign and utilize the forces of the allies on the Gallipoli peninsula for the accomplishment of the same pur- pose for which they are fighting in an- other way, or it may simply mean a change in command in the hope of greater progress at that point.
 Whatever the result is it is made necessary because Of the Teutonic drive through Servia- That imposes new difficulties which must be met else the prospects of forcing the Dar- dane.les will be simmer ttaa ever.
 If the Gallipoli campaign is aban- doned, even though 1t is gradually done, it will mean a second great fail ure. The first came when the effort to push through that waterway was undertaken by the allied navy. It was aEhortsighted move and it was quick ly realized that it could not succeed without the aid of 9 strong land force Delay was occasioned until such a move could be organized and that has succeeded as yet in getting little more lsan a foothold upon the well fortified peninsula. It has even failed to line up the Balkan states in a manner which was expected by the allies and tlfe necessity of obstructing the cen tIAl powers in their endeavor to oper the Constantinople line now becomes paramount. The one way of cripplins Turkey lies in preventing it from get ting the aid which it needs and tha cannot be accomplished solely by fight. ing on the peninsula even though the withdrawal of the troops there woult mean the admission of the second fail ure.

OTHERS WILL DO IT.

If Secretary Redfield believes that there will be others who will take up the business which has been dropped by the Pacific Mail Steamship com pany in selling it's ships and abandon ing It's transportation business between this country and Asiatic ports, he Is unquestionably right, but if he thinks that 1t will be done by vessels flying the American flag he is most certainly wrong.
 Provisions for taking care of that business have already been made by a Japanese line which has purchased a number of new steamers and is pre- pared to handle substantial increase inz business. This is the manner in which others will take the place of the Pacific Mail.
 The likelihood of American capital being put to such use under the sea- mems act is blasted by the positive statement by a representative of the company which purchased the Pacific Mail liners to the effect that it would be impossible to compete under this new law which goes into effect next month with the Japanese. This is in full accord with the report which was made to the department of commerce by Deputy Consul General Kirjassof1 of Yokohama when he said: Taking into account the subsidy which the Toyo Risen Kaisha receives, it cost: this company about $227, ,S60 less pel year to run one ship of its fleet O four than it did the Pacific Mai Steamship company to run one of it five ships"
 Under those conditions there is n, possibility of American capital tryinI to overcome that additional hardshi In the cost of operating ships unde the seamen's law. That business whicl the American line drops will be picke up but 1t will be a gain for the Jap anese, not the American merchant ma V-f1o

Mrs. Mary Austin, widow of a wealthy San Franciscan, who lost everything in the fire of 19ee, says she experienced speedy relief from the use Of Dr. Caidwelfs Syrup Pepsin and that sha found this gentle, pleasant tasting laxative more ef- fective than several doses of castor oil.

The trafie policeman in the streets of Denver Is assisted by a sernaphore in the middle of the street with two red arms. one with STOP" In big white letters on 1t and the other with 'GO" in black letters. This evi- dentiy means that in Denver the trafic one way stops entirely while the traffc the other way is passing. as in New York. and that no indi- viduals afoot may steal across the wrong way. to his own risk and the demoralization of the system, because the policeman claims he hasn't the authority to stop anybody and make him go back and no authority. either. to keep him in the lines marked out for him.

Perhaps the most prominent and striking part played by the automobile as a national factor has been its ef- feet on roads. Only a small percent age of the roads of this country are improved even today (aoout s,7 per cent. in arI) but in past years the percentage of improved roads has hardly been even half of that Busi- ness conditions have repressed much road-buflding that Is already plan ned, but the automobilist Is fighting hard for better roads. whether he ts a farmer or q millionaire. The po- liticaI sentiment and pressure which the two million automobflists of the country exert will surely eventually
 give this country a decent percentage of trnveiable roads. At least two thirds of the reasons for present road development are automobile reasons: su to the automobile may be ascrioed credit for the widespread benefits of
 improved roads.-Meriden Journal.
