One little girl. q hve-year-old tot with
light hair fastened with a large pink
bow, approached one OF the officers on
the eclipse.
Have you seen the lady with the blue
dress? she asked timidIy, her lips ouiv-

She may have found her mother. or
she may not, but more than twenty-five

In a sharp parliamentary clash. the

Aroused by the tactics of the RspubIi-

to jam through special gag rule that
would send the army reorganization bill
into q conferences committee for the ad-
tustment OF the differences between the

Three different doctors were unable to help me, all giving me up and I would have died only for your Swamp Root.

WAR COST TO DUTCH
 REPORTED $40, 100000
Holland Estimates Country Will Have to Pay $S.OOO,OOO a Month
 in the Future

tCorrespondence. of The Associated Press.)
 The Hague, Netherlands, March 25. The war has so far cost Holland a clear $40, 1000. Further reckon ing the demands of the intervening period at $S,OOO,OOO a month, the new minister of finance, Doctor An ton Van Gym, estimates that by August 1 next a sum of s1S0, 100000 will have been spent on the mobilized land and sea forces and in meeting the various other extraordinary de- mands made on the treasury by the war crisis.
 Of the amount mentioned $110,- 000,000 was raised by a five per cent. loan issued after the first three or four months of war, and the problem now facing this country is how to provide the balance of $70,OOO, 900. Three bills have just been presented tC the Dutch parliament embodying straightforward and fairly bold sO- lution of the question. The new min- ister of finance therein proposed to raise as much as $32, 100000 by a special levy, termed a "defense tax" in the financial year beginning May , next, to obtain another S,00O,- 900 by a tax on war profits, and to have recourse to loan for the bal ance of s20,000,OOO. The actual loan, however, is to amount to s5O,- 0O0,OO0 out of which, assuming the war is over, the extra s3O,OOO,OOO will be utilized to consolidate the floating debt accuring from the or dinary budgets of 1914, 1915 and 1916
 Seeing that the floating debt of the Netherlands East Indies will also have to be consolidated shortly, it is evident that heavy demands will be made on the money market here be- fore long. AS however, it is largely Q matter of replacing floating by a fixed debt. it is not expected that the market will be greatly influenced ard the powerful position of the Netherlands Bank-whOSe gold stocks now amount to $196,000, ,000-and thegeneral plentifulness of money here, renders the prospects of the coming loans bright.
