Constitutional Position Of
The Netherlands Is Peculiar

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, April
29.-The present constitutional posi-
tiCn in the Netherlands is remark
able one in the history of modern
Constitutional States, being the OUT
come of the extraordinary circum-
stances in which the country finds
itself. The present government has
announced, and already put into prac-
tice on several occasions, the theory
that only individual ministers need
fall if the the bills introduced by them
with, of course, the approval of the
whole Cabinet are defeated in Parli-
ament, and the Ministry as whole
proceeds with its work as if nothing
had happened. The Prime Minister,
MIR. Cort van der Linden, sound Lilo
eral and consequently a great respec-
tor of good constitutional rules, has
just publicly declared in the First
Chamber of the Dutch Parliament
that even if the proposals for the re
vision of the constitution, which form
the main item of the government 8
legislation program and for which he
is personally responsible, should be
re. ected by Parliament, he will remain
iii office.
u seems super constitutional, says
Gle press organ, and a unique devel-
opment in the evolution of modern
constitutional ideas, when a Cabinet
may have it's entire legislative program
rejected and coolly stay in Office as il
nothing particular had happened.
There are, however, naturally good
grounds for the "super-constitutio
ism" of the present Dutch Ministry:
ard it is silently endorsed by the ma
ton as a whole. They are found in the
perilious position OF the country. The
ministry will not make Cabinet ques-
ton of any subject of international
politics because it considers itself a
Cabinet Of Foreign Affairs, and It's
raison d'etre the preservation of the
country's independence and safety.
Thus, while Mr.. Cort van der Linden
is nominally Minister of Home Al
fairs, he makes it clear that he really
regards himself as the guardian and
director OF the national
policy of the Netherlands, saying in
effect that only a direct vote of cen
sure on himself and his colleagues will
bring about their resignation.
The effect OF this attitude on the
home political situation is a curious
one, for the questions placed by the
government on the legislative pro-

Two Countries
Get Together

BUCHAREST Rumania, April 20
Owing to the Importance Of commerce
ial relations between Sweden and Ru-
mania at this time, when large ship
ments of Rumanian merchandise are
reaching the outer world through
Sweden, it has been agreed between
the two countries that a Swedish dip
lomatic mission will be established a.

BUENOS AIRES, April 29.-With
the carnival season now making its
annual entry, there are no outward
signs of anything but prosperity in
the capital of the Argentine. So far as
society is concerned, it is exulting ov-
er the favorable prospects for the opera
season which, the newspapers say,
will make Buenos Aires the center of
the operate world this year.
The general feeling in business cir
Giles regarding economic conditions,
however, is rather pessimistic.
The fact is, the price of grain,
which guages the prosperity of the
provinces, has fallen precisely when
a substantial increase in price was
anticipated The markets of Great
Britain and her allies are practically
the only ones open to Argentine pro-
duce, and having organized a collosa'
corner" Great Britain has become the
grainery and store house of the group.
She buys for all, carries for all, pays
for all. By thus doing away with COM
petition between themselves, the AL
lies are in position to dictate prices
rather than have prices dictated 20
them.
The Argentine producers find tha;
while the European demand is always
for more, the supply is arranged from
England by limiting the number of
steamers available for the River
Platte trade. All grain must be for
warded by freighters, the mail boats
being requisitioned for the transport
of chilled meat. The scarcity Of
freight vessels has accordingly given
rise to serious congestion of the grain
shipments.
At Calvin, and the stations near
Bahia Blanca, the port of shipment for
the southern zone, there were at the
end of last month 100000 tons OF
wheat stored in elevator sheds orr
stacked in the open awaiting shipment,
and at intermediate stations along the
Great Southern railroad, there are g.
100000 sacks of wheat and oats stack. |
ed in the open. Similar conditions
prevail along the Great Western and
Central Argentine lines. In fact, up
to the end of last month"; the grain of
this years harvest loaded or ready |
for loading was only $4,000 tons. For
the same period last year the total was
$4,000 tons. Thus far charters up to
the 18th of July next for Argentine
grain aggregate only $4,000 tons,
which is approximately 100000 tons
short of the total for the correspond
irg period last year.
Owing to the fact that large mum
Der of Italian harvest hands have goue
back to Italy and the general current
Ct inauguration has been meagre, the
grain growers have also had some
trouble with labor, there being such g.
scarcity of workers that high prices
had to be paid. 1t was only through
tie timely action Of the department of |
labor, which organized the unemploy.
ed, and regulated the supply in &C
cordance with the geographical zones
and the actual demand, that the harg.
e&ting of the crops has, so far, been
accomplished In regard to the grain,
the oats are of exceptional quality and !
quantity. The wheat has yielded heav-
lily, but the grain is, generally speak /
irg, light in weight, being from three

The OPERA HOUSE

In announcing the booking of ''Glor-

Friday, July 14th, Manager Dudley be-
lieves that he has arranged for the
best film attraction for his patrons
that money can secure. Billie Burke,
the fascinating international star, has
been secured as the star of the pro-
daction, though it took a salary of
100000 per week to induce the titan
haired Billie to place her name on the
dotted line of a contract calling for
her appearance in the story. The seen
ario of "Gloria's Romance" originated
in the minds of those famous noyelists.

known to people everywhere through
their successful stories in the Satur-
day Evening Post, Cosmopolitan Mag
azine and the Red Book, for nearly
everyone has read What Will People
Say?" Clipped Wings" or 1.-THE Thir-

Hughes himself has declared "Glor-
las Romance"is the best of them all.
AS for the film production of the
Hughes tale, it need only be mention
ed that the story is being staged at
the George Kleine studies, to guaran-
tee its merit, for the pl lie instantly

FOURTH OF JULY TETANUS.

Back in 1905 there were 104 deaths
in the United States from Fourth OF
July tetanus, this figure representing
| about the average annual mortality
10 1914, as a result of the institution
of better prophylactic treatment by
physicians and the widespread agita
tion for safe and sane Fourth, the
number was reduced to 8. A year ago
the U. S. Public Health Service ex-
pected and predicted that every
youngster in the United States would
be safe from this disease, basing its
estimate on what had already been
accomplished. When the returns came
in it was found that boy down in
Maine had been injured, developed te-
tanus and died. That single fatality
was only one among several hundred
/
thousand occurring in the United
States during 1915 but it resulted from
Fourth of July tetanus or lockjaw, a
ipreventable disease, and was therefore
an unnecessary death. The loss OF
this boy makes it necessary to again
disseminate information regarding this
wholly avoidable infection.
| The blank cartridge wound is the
great cause of Fourth of July tetanus,
but injuries from crackers and fire.
arms are at times responsible When
driven into the tissues the wadding
carries with it innumerable bacilh. If
these be tetanus bacilli the poisonous
products of toxins resulting from
their multiplication produce the dis
ease Tetanus bacilli thrive only i'll
the absence of oxygen. 1t is for this
reason that the physician enlarges the
wound of entrance and after removing
all foreign material dresses the injury
in such a manner that development Of
the organism is inhibited In order to
accomplish this it is usually necessary
| to administer an anaesthetic. Antita-
tanic serum is of great value as a
lprophylatic and it should invariably
be given in injuries of this character
Parents should realize that Fourth
of July tetanus is easy to prevent but
extremely difficult to cure, the dis
ease being attended with a mortality
of more than 95 per cent. No blank
cartridge wound is too trivial to re-
ceive careful medical attention. How
ever slight the injury may appear sum-
mon competent physician who will
at once institute the necessary prophy-
Tactic measures. Reliance upon home
treatment may prove disastrous and
result in the needless sacrifice of life.

A WORTHY CAUSE.

A public spirited citizen of Ameri-

story in Friday afternoons paper
presenting the matter to the people of
Americas.
This fund will be continued, and it
is our sincere hope that it will prove
successful and in keeping with the
spirit which should be manifested In
behalf of the A. L. l. soldiers.
The Mexican situation has every
sign of causing trouble, and it is these
boys who will be in the forefront of
the storm They are making fine SOL
diers, and every report from the mob
ilization camp at Macon brings stories
Of their earnestness and desire to
"see service"
