ARMY IS
WELL PREPARED
F0RH05TiL|T|ES
Soldiers Can Face Prospect Of
War with Confidence,
Says Minister.

THE HAGUE. Netherlands, July /.
Interestin ginformation as to what
has been accomplished in preparing
the Dutch army for modern warfare
In the twenty-one months during
which 1t has now been on war foot
ing was contained in a statement
presented to Parliament by the Min
lister Of War Major-General N. Bos-
bonn, when he asked for fresh APP
preparation Of $40.O00,0O0 to cover
mobilization expenses.
Even a partial rehabilitation is
still out Of the question, according to
the war minister.
Answering the question whether
the Dutch army was adequately pre-
pared for war and whether the ma
terial and equipment fulfill modern
requirements, he said that although
It was inadvIsable to make public
information which might benefit a
possible enemy, there was no doubt
the Dutch soldiers could face the
prospect of war with confidence.
In August, 1914, the material and
equipment left much to be desired.
THE work shops of the kingdom were
NOT ready for mass production.
These shops have been enlarged and
a hundred factories have been
equipped for the production of war

N0NARCHS
Visit the Front Frequently and
Thus Cheer the Soldiers Of
Their Country.

FRENCH FRONT IN BELGIAN
FLANDERS, July 1.-The soldiers
on this front are cheered by frequent
visits of the king and queen of the
Belgians. On their last visit King
Albert was in a generals uniform of
khaki and Queen Elizabeth looked
charming in a smart tailor-made
suit of the same hue. Instead of the
usual toque she wore a Belgian SOL
dier's steel helmet as a protection
from stray bullets.
After examining the various front
line positions, the king and queen
passed in review of infantry and sail
ors, who were delighted to see the
royal couple, especially the queen,
who displayed on her jacket the
French war cross awarded to her by
President Poincare for bravery at the
front.
While in one of the second-line
trenches the queen expressed the de-
sire to photograph the soldiers, and
they were ranged before her.
Some of them who had been asleep
in their dugouts asked for time to
civ themselves a wash and brush
up but her majesty said: mo, no!
You look more picturesque the way
you are" They were taken as they
stood.
The queen chatted with the SOL
diers for a minutes and promised to
send their families signed copies Of
the photographs she had just taken.

FULL DIVISION OF MEN

material. There is a great supply OF
hand grenades, in the use of which
the troops have been trained. Gas
masks, steel helmets, modern engI-
neering material, trench shields, bar
bed wire, and protective material
have been made in large quantities.
Searchlights for coast defence,
land positions, and field troops have
been increased. Automobile stations
for wireless telegraphy have been
formed The army has at its dispos-
al a great number Of motor lorries
for the transport OF troops and
wounded. The number Of aero
planes has been largely increased.
These are provided with bombs, ma
chine guns, and quick-frers and, as
regards speed and raising power, they
have been brought up to the stand
ard prevailing abroad. Private in
dustry has co-operated in the build
ing of new aeroplanes, although
Holland remains dependent on for
eign countries for motors.
AS regards the medical service, the
reserve hospital accommodation has
been increased by arrangements with
1850 civilian nursing institutions.
Moreover, an institute of military
dentists has been established. Vac
cination against smallpox, typhus and
meningitis is being carried out.
An unfavorable comment on the
relations between commanders and
men in the Dutch army is the fact,
now made known, that many thous-
ands of soldiers persisted in going on
furlough alta Easter, when leave was
furlough at Easter, when leave was
refused them owing to the special
circumstances that made the position
dangerous for Holland. Severe pun
ishment has been melted out to the
men concerned. incidentally the min
lister mentioned that there were fifty
two suicides in the army at the be-
ginning of mobilization.
No special announcemnt Is made
regarding the number of trained
men which the country now possesses,
but former Minister of War H. Solyn,
says the total has increased to some
$4,000 and that if all the further
available Landstrum are trained
there will be a force Of 100000 men
available.

Ready to Offer $4,000 Men and
Command as Major
General.

NEW YORK, Julf lon the first
call for volunteers for service in Mex
leo Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will
tender to the department the ser
vices of full army division with the
request that he be allowed to lead it
as major general Of volunteers,
In the recruiting of this force Colo
mel Roosevelt has been busy for the
last two days through agents In this
city and various parts Of the country.
1t was declared on high authority
night that the plans were so complete
that the plans were 80 complete
given point can begin at two hours
notice, the plans for its formation, its
officers, and equipment having been
completed to the minutest detail some
weeks ago.
This in substance is the announce
ment made on the highest authority
in this city. At the same time 1t was
announced that the Coloners plan for
recruiting the division has been sub
mltted to army authorities and re-
ceived their approval.
ROOsevelt's Plan for Division.
AS outlined the Roosevelt plan
calls for a division of four brigades,
one infantry. one field artillery and
two of cavalry, to be differed by
men of the regular service or men
who have seen actual service. In adj
dition it will have an aero squadron,
a fully equipped hospital section, the
usual machine gun division and an
engineering corps.
The decision of Colonel Roosevelt
j. to take this step was reached. it is
understood, ten days ago, when the
president decided to call out the ma
tional guard for service on the Dor
der or in Mexico. Previous to that
time his mall had for weeks been
filled with offers Of service from men
! who had served with him in the war
with Spain. from eX-regulars and
others anxious to enlist under his
command.
Spanish-American Veterans.
The bulk of these offers came from
individuals, but in many cases whole
camps Of Spanish war veterans ask
ed to be enrolled as possible recruits,
and in other cases groups of eX-regu-
lar army men, some of the men who
had held commissions, asked the
same privilege,
1t is from this class Of men that
the command will be recruited if the
necessary permission issues from
Washington, its very quality enabling
those officers who will be assigned to
command it to place it in the field at
minimum expenditure of time in
camp. No difficulty is expected In
getting the 1900 men necessary.
The officers, from the four bril-
gadiers down, will, If the Colonel has
his way, be men with whom he is
personally acquainted and whose rec,
ords as professional soldiers are OF
the best.
