DUTCH HAVE KEPT
NEUTRALITY WELL

THE HAGUE, Feb. 22.-Publica-
ton Of the correspondence that has
passed between the government OF
the Netherlands and the European
belligerents shows that Holland has
always protested vigorously since the
beginning OF the war against even a
semblance of violation Of her neu-
trality.
Every measure taken by any OF the
belligerents which has seemed to in
fringe on the principles Of interna-
tional law has been the subject of cor
respondence. The note sent by The
Hague government in the cases of
Germans who were taken from Dutch
steamers by British warships were so
insistent that some Of the seized Ger
mans were released.
The correspondence also reveals the
fact that Holland, on February 15,
sent a most emphatic note to Great
Britain protesting against the use OF
the Dutch flag by British merchant
men.

VIVID TALE 0F | THE BIG STORM
Tempe Man Hears Graphic Details of Galveston Dis aster from Relative-How Water Rose in Streets of Unfortunate City.

TEMPE, Sept. 13.-August Pavell of Tempe today received an interest ing letter from q brother -in-law at Galveston, Texas, telling of the recent floods that devastated that city, and incidentally of the narrowing ex- periences that he encountered in making his escape from the flood to- gether with a blind negro and a neighbor. The letter is reproduced herewith:
 Just received yours and am surely glad to hear from you. I have not been able to write to you as my hands have been all in a tremble and could not hold the pen to write a letter. Now I am better and hope to continue so. I had quite a bit of ex- perience the first night of the storm.
 All my people left that night for the court house for safety I stayed in the house not thinking it would be so severe as it turned out to be.
 About II o'clock that night a neigh bor of mine came to the house and insisted on me leaving the house. A blind negro who used to live at John son Bayou came early in the evening. Both insisted on me to let them take me to a place of safety so l con- scented. Before we could reach a place of safety my neighbor was over come by water and terrible wind and drowned, so I was left with a blind negro in water to our armpits to battle for our life. Before proceeding eight steps we came into deeper wa ter. I went down but the big negro held on to my coat collar and pulled me up. Then both of us went drift ing for nearly a block when we landed against a fence which we held to for a while. From there we made our way I directing him how to go right, left or straight ahead till we arrived at the same place where my dear wife and daughter lost their lives in the flood on the Sth of Sep tember 1900.
 The next morning we made our way back to my house and found the roof on the south side torn off, nearly all of the windows demolished, mud all over the house and everything inside ruined.
 Joe my sons, house. suffered less. It was imbedded in sand up to the sills, so was Seths house.
 All along the boulevard houses were undermined and turned over.
 The brick driveway was undermined and swept away.
 On the wharVes warehouses were demolished. over twenty thousand bales of cotton went adrift. The whole prairie around Texas City and Hitchcock was filled with cotton and other wreckage.

 vention in the afternoon. At 4:30 o'clock the teen boys between 12 and 20 years of age, will be taken by auto to the Phoenix rifle range, where he will address an open air meeting on "A Clean Man" This meeting will be one of the most important of the convention.

 IF A SENATOR
Nick Stark, Once of Repub- lican Staff, Now with "Omar the Tentmaker" Sees Phoenix After a Lapse of IS Years.

Everybody was glad to see Omar the Tentmaker," but those who form erly knew C. Nick Stark had the edge is an essential part of the play. It is nearly twenty years since Nick was a member of the staff of The Repub- lican but he does not look a day older than he did when he used to pursue the elusive local for these columns.
 He had the theatrical bug in those days and he worked at the newspaper business when there was nothing above the horizon in the dramatic line. He used frequently to start something in a local way and played one night stands in Tempe and Mesa and was frequently seen by Phoenix audiences.
 Nick's home was always and is yet in Detroit and he always had a per manent job on the Free Press when ever he cared to take it. He has been taking it spasmodically ever since until with in the last two years. He believes now though, that he is done with newspaper work.
 MT Stark stayed longer in Arizona when he was away from Detroit, than in any other place. He first stopped at Williams where he first met United States Senator Ashurst who was then cowboy and a deputy sheriff. Nick is a judge of men and he decided that MT Ashurst had too good a presence and too sonorous a voice to F., ,.I Nick may be regarded as the dis coverer of MT. Ashurst. He does not say this himself; he takes no credit for the moulding of United States senator but it is a fact that he first infected MT Ashurst with the bug for holding public office and it was his gentle encouragement that induced MT. Ashurst to seek place in the assembly of the legislature and when he got started he could not be stop ped MT. Stark has not repented of his policial activities and he would not care if MT. Ashurst should be- come president of the United States.
 Previous to coming to The Republi- can, Mir. Stark had been a reporter for the Arizona Star and before that he was associated with Mayor Young, then the editor and proprietor of the William News. The mayor monopo- lized a part of his time yesterday.
 Speaking yesterday of his local the atrical ventures he said yesterday that he had always felt sore at The Republican for a criticism it had of fered of a company when he was member of it's staff. The company had been formed here and went to try it on Tempe. It engaged local orchestra but the aggregation missed the night train so that the play pro- ceeded and went to it's conclusion without music. The Republican ob- served the next morning that the per formance was as painful as the ex- traction of a tooth without the numb ing effect of an anaeSthetic.

 Therefore, I urge our people to unite in making this day, Sunday, October Third, 1915, memorable day in our home community. On this day give thought to the good things about you-say a good word for your community-go to church - shake hands with your neighbor- greet the stranger-unfurl the flag
