Crossing Dutch Border.

So runs the strange controversy
and meanwhile, all unconscious of the
mild storm they have raised, little
parties of German children, many OF
them pale-faced, but some looking in
fairly good condition, are daily cross
ing the Dutch border. They come in
parties varying from a dozen to sew
eral hundreds, and are being accom-
modated about the country, mostly in
children's holiday camps and such in
stitutions, but also, by twos and
threes, in private families.
The work has been organized by
various committees set up by Hol-
landers with family ties in Germany
and others, and naturally the German,
authorities have willingly extended
their cooperation. There are now
between 1000 and 1000 such children
in the country, and they are still ar
irving.
A movement is also now on foot to
bring children from the occupied dis
tricts of France, so. THAT Holland
promises to develop into quite chill
dren's refuge, following the claims
upon its hospitality made by the
fiocks Of Belgian fugitives, part Of
Antwerp's escaping garrison, and
many hundreds of fleeing prisoners Of
war.

CARE OF CHILDREN
NOW THE QUESTION
What to Do With Hungry
Youngsters Crossing Into
Holland.
NOT ALLOWED TO srARvE

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
The Hague, Netherlands, Sept. p
The question whether German chill
dren should be entertained in Hol-
land, and fattened there on Dutch
milk and butter, has led to a storm in
a teacup here. Columns Of the news
papers have been devoted to articles
on the subject by learned professors
and editorial writers.
Germany is a besieged fortress"
1t is declared on the one hand, "and
it is unneutral and, what is more, op-
posed to all Hollands interests to
help defeat the object Of the besiegers
by relieving distress there" How
can that bel" is the question posed in
reply, when Germany has free ac-
cess to Holland, Scandinavia and
Switzerland? Holland is sovereign
of her own frontier, and the feeding
of hungry German children is our
good right, and not the slightest vio-
lation OF neutrality" IF you have
money to spare for poor children"
is the retort, give the benefit Of it to
many thousands of half-starved chill
dren in your own cities, who are suf-
fering from too large exports to Ger:
many; or lavish your pity upon the
millions of suffering children in Po-
land, Serbia, Belgium and northern
France, the countries ruthlessly DESC
lated by Germany. Moreover, you
are endangering your own food sup
plies by giving the allies ground for
thinking that the goods imported here
will indirectly help their enemy to
hold out"
An Act Of Chivalry.
Even assuming that Germany is
besieged fortress" runs another argu-
ment, docs not a belligerent some
times allow the siege OF city to be
prolonged by sparing the women and
children as much as possible? And
if you say we are helping Germany
to hold out, so does. such noble work
as that of the Red Cross, which is
universally recognized to be within
the province of ncutrals, strengthen
the forces of the belligerents."
1T is but an act Of chivalry and
compassion; it would be shame to
exclude it by carrying logical strict
ness to extremes" says another.
That's all very WE'LL" is the answer,
"but to nourish German subjects is
to prolong the war, and so sacrifice
more Of the allies men; and il the
Dutch government is to permit Ger
mans to have recourse to public char
ity here. at least let it poip<s out to
Germany it's obligations toward this
country and to the civil population of
