DORIAN, IN THE BALKANS,I

Situated on Lake Described by
Herodotus In Writing Of
Paeonians.

Dorian. the town at which the Franco
British forces from Saloniki began
their long-expected drive recently, is
described in the following war geog-
raphy bulletin issued by the National
Geographic Society from its Washing
ton Headquarters:
Situated on the frontier between
Serbia and Greece. and only about ten
miles south of the Bulgarian boundary,
Dorian. also known as Polianino. is
forty miles northwest of Saloniki on
the southern shores Of the almost cir
cular lake Of the same name. It was

Queen Met on Rounds,

The queen is frequently to be seen as
early as s:46 in the morning walking
down through the streets of The
Hague from the House in the Wood
to the palace. returning the respectful!
salutations of her subjects and occa-
sfonally responding to the stin mill
tary salutes of passing officers A
lady of her suite is usually with her
on such occasions, while one giant at
tendant walks some distance behind.
Premier Cort van der Linden's extra
parliamentary but liberal cabinet still
holds the reins of government. AL
though it has undergone one or two
changes. Ministers A E. j. Bertling
and NJ. w. F. Treub have resigned and
been succeeded by F. E. Posthuma as
minister OF agriculture, commerce and
industry, and DR.. Anton van Gym as
minister of finance
In its foreign policy 1T certainly still
retains the support of the whole coun-
try. This is likely to keep 1t in power,
despite the strong criticism its eco
nomic policy has been subjected to and
the political struggle which its legis-
lative program has evoked.
So far, Holland has borne the heavy
burdens laid upon her by the war re-
her army of a quarter OF a million
men on war footing and other ex-
traordinary expenditure has so far cost
a round sum of s1S0.000,0 900.
This money has been temporarily
found by two big loans and is soon to
be tackled in earnest. Special war
levies and tax on war profits are
expected to yield minimum of
$4,000 900.
The economic tussle between the
allies and the central powers Is still
considerably embarrassing the coun-
try. The food problem, partly growing
out Of big exports to Germany, has
brought ministers no end of trouble
and may land them in serious diff
culties.

Acres OF Ammunition.
One American traveller said that IN
journeying from Petrograd to MOSCOW
the guard came through the train ana
ordered all curtains closed for GER
tain period. This order was too much
for American curiosity. so the traveller
turned out the light in his stateroom
and peeked through the curtains. II

and he estimated that in one parking
place there were 400 pieces of field ar
tillery, with acres of ammunition ad-
joining, awaiting transportation to the
front.
American business men all say that
Russia is ready to welcome American
capital and American enterprise even
above that of their own allies In the
present war. German domination in
Russia appears to be absolutely at an
end.
In the meantime there Is much spec
ulation here as to what will be the
position of the awakened giant of the
north in European politics after ten
or twenty years realization of this vast
new strength and limitless resources?
The consensus of opinion is that this
question will hover heavily over the
conference table when the statesmen
of the warning nations finally meet to
arrange a strange new peace and at
least a modified" map of the old
world.

Army in Fine Shape.

The two years mobilization has CIV
best equipped army she has ever pos
sessed. For limited CONSUMPTION has
been extended into what is in effect
universal compulsory service up to
thirty years of age. Training of fresh
troops has been going on continuously
ever since August, 1914, bringing the
number of trained men in the country,
though only partly under arms, up to
between 100000 and 100000.
The relations between officers and men
is not SO good as could be desired. In
Holland such class tie as that of sport
has hitherto largely been lacking. For
tunateiy, sport in the army has received
encouragement from the highest quarters
during these long months of mobilization.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands. August
S.-The second anniversary Of tho
mobilization of the Dutch army sug-
gests a glance at the present position
of Holland and the multifarious changes
wrought by the great struggle still
raging around her.
The country has borne much in the
past two years which a stronger power
would not have suffered. It has been
preserved from the miseries ef war.
Although vigilance is still the order Of
the day. the Dutch nation now enter
tains good hope of preserving peace
to the end.
That its position is still perilous,
however, the latest orange book testt-
f1es. 1t is recognized that the ulti-
mate peace congress may itself bring
dangers in It's train.
1t Is clear that nothing but direct
act of war, or action tending to force
the nation from its strict path of neu-
trallty, will bring the queen or her
ministers to enter the struggle In
all other cases of restriction Of HoI-
lands rights and damage to her in
terests they are evidently prepared to
content themselves with protests
For Queen Wilhelmina and tho royal
house the whole period has been an ex-
ceedingly trying one Her mother. the
popular Queen Emma, and her con-
sort. Prince Henry of the Netherlands,
are of German birth. In other ways,
not overlooking the close ties with
belgium, the deepest personal feelings
of the house of Orange have been
painfully affected by the events of the
past two years.
Nevertheless, an attitude Of the
