THOUSANDS OF
Mines IN SEA
ABOUT HOLLAND

The Hague, Netherlands, May 49,
More than 1000 mines have beer
washed ashore on the coasts of Hol
land. These include 535 English, 81
French and 1913 German, the others
being classed as "origin unknown" A
majority Of them were cast up by the
sea at points in the estuary of the
Schedlt river, in the extreme south
western part of Holland, which is
nearest to the vast minefield designed
to Tar ingress from the North sea in
to the English Channel. Many mines,
however, drift higher up, and some
even reach the chain of islands which
form the natural sea barrier of Hol-
lands northern coast.
Swift destroyers are constantly on
the lookout for mines on the route fol-
lowed by the Holland American liners.
Only recently visitors to Scheven-
ingen, fashionable bathing resort,
witnessed battery Of machine guns
firm. from the promenade on a mine
floating past the pier head.
The practice of the Dutch naval au
tholities is to destroy these castaways
when and where they are found.
"Viltually all mines that are washed
ashore here are anchored mines,' said
a Dutch naval commander to The AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent. "These
as their name indicates are mines that
are kept afloat few feet beneath the
surface of the sea by weight at
tached to them by half inch or three
quarter inch cables. They keep sta
tionary for perhaps couple of
months; but after that the action of
the sea water causes corrosion of some
part of the attaching gear and the
next gale breaks them loose from
their moorings. So they become drift
ing mines and, as such, dangers to
navigation. They should not be con-
fused with drifting mines proper,
which are those which are sown by
warships or mine-layers in their own
wake when pursued by an enemy.
Thase mines, of an altogether differ
ent type, must become ineffective. as
prescribed by the Hague convention,
within few hours. That is, they
sink to the bottom automatically. All
those found in Dutch waters were
once anchored and have broken
away from their anchorage.
"1The great majority of them are
harmless if properly handled, and the
only trouble is to prevent people who
don't know anything about mines from
focling around them. A month or so
ago, for instance, French mine came
ashore on the coast of the Island of
Schouwen, in the province of Iceland
This mine had the familiar French
cable attachment which, when pulled
hard, explodes the mine. Five fisher
men, observing bit of cable hanging
from the monster. thought it handy
for pulling it in. They began to drag
it along, and the inevitable happened.
A few scraps of clothing was all that
was left of the men.

When Mr.. Marsten finishsd his talk

some educational copy would help to
enlighten the public as to bank

Novelties in Hats, Wraps and Aces
series Are Designed for Use in
the Automobiles.
New York Herald.)


Summer furs are to be as popular
this year as they were last, but they
are appearing in different models.
The pelerine cape and the deeper
coachman's cape will be seen oftener
than the white fox boa. The capes
are made of the short-haired furs,
ermine, mole, seal and chinchilla be-
ing the leaders. Ermine and seal are
combined, and seal and mole make an
unusual combination. A number of
the fur collarettes, made like the COL
lar, and lapels of a coat, are edged
with pleated chiffon and have chiffon
ties.
Mohair dust coats in awning stripes
are made in the seml-fitted models
with the loose military pockets and
verted pleats under each arms and in
the center Of the back. The buttons
match the colored stripe in the coat.
One particularly attractive coat is Of
tan with wide sage green stripe.
Panama sport hats are appearing
with wide, flat trimming of prettily
striped Jersey cloth, the trimming be-
ing buttoned with tiny silk buttons up
the left side of the crown. In the
center of the crown there is button
the color of the Jersey cloth. The
pinwheel hat is another newcomer.
This hat is of soft white felt, with
stripes radiating from the center of
the crown to the edge Of the brin.
A narrow stitched band around the
crown is the only trimming. The
hats come with the stripes in any color
desired, for wear with the blazer
striped sweaters.
Extra collars and cuffs of suede
and corduroy in various colors come
ready made to be attached to plain
pongee dust coats. They are easily
removed when the coats are laundered
and are so reasonable in price that
two or three sets may be used with
one coat.
A new travelling sewing case is
square in shape, collapsible, and is
fitted with all the necessities. The
bag will carry also fair sized piece
of work, and if no work is carried it
may be used as veil case.
Tourists books open out pad fash
ion. On one side is the pad, with the
loops holding pencil and pen, the
opposite side being fitted with an en-
velope flap as well as a place for
stamps and postal cards. The books
may be had in various colored
feathers.
One of the new sport coats is made
Of yellow, black and white tweed in
half-inch plaids. The coat is made in
one of the full deep models, and has a
cape collar and very wide cuffs of
black broadcloth. The wide girdle
belt is buttoned in the front with
right side of the coat there is mill
three black cloth buttons, while at the
tary pocket trimmed with black cloth
