nomenOn of American prosperity. What is it's expanatton? The Euclid of financial theory worked to a dem Cnstration measures for the countrys relief. He promptly put into effect the legislative expression of a great pro- gram. He did not talk. He did things He dynamited the monetary dams and let credit flow to the remotest corners Of the land, it's spray dashing even upon foreign shores. He released the nations resources and set the energies of all men free to exploit them. He destroyed commercial slavery. He struck off its shackles.- The prosperity of the nation is the product of states manship and financial genius. Ameri-s can credit is now limited only by its own honesty and capacity. The cause being undisturbed, the effects must re- main. The schoolmaster is statesman, the statesman is 6nancier, the fnan- c1er is emanc1pator. With Lincoln, the emancipator of the chattel slave, he will live forever as the emancipator of the commercial slave.
 Kept Nation at Peace.
 The nation is at peace in a world at war. America is confronted with ap- pa1lfng realities. It is not the part of wisdom to play with phantoms, deal, in riddles or seek. to entertain the na- tionaI imagination with the legerde- main of language. To build words mountain high as the throne of vanity and ambition should not be an Ameri- can pastime. An attempt to catch the presidency by phrases is the work of folly. The function of a sounding brass and tinkltng cyYuba1 is not ger mane to- the tragic conditions of the world. When the fate of millions is at stake it is not the part of any man to stack the cards. With civilization in peril the sphinx becomes an anachro- ntsm. With the whole world tense and anxious patriotic advice and sug- gestion are of more value than abuse and defamation. Speculation wits in the blaze of truth. Abusive phraseo1- ogy shrivels before the relentless fact Honesty is the commanding quality of free and patriotic American.

 This brought from the crowd one of the greatest bursts of applause of the night From then on until the end of his speech, MT.

 Evidently in anticipation of sharp measures by the Allies, the govern ment chartered several steamers and sent them to America for wheat.
 Measures taken by the British gov enment to enforce the blockade of Germany are steadily becoming irri- tating to the Dutch.
 This does not mean, however, that the anti-German feeling of the great CT part of the people of Holland has been lessened.
 Hollanders are generally convinced that Germany has respected Dutch neutrality in this war only because she depends upon Holland for her food supplies.
 The people blame high food prices upon Germany because expectations to the Kaisers realm have lessened the supply here.
 The people of Holland want to be let alone by both sides.

The cruise will begin Aug. l5 and last until Sept l2. and eligible men from nineteen to forty-five years old will par ticipate Every opportunity will be at- forded these men to learn what service ln the navy really means. and it is eX- peCted they will spread their knowledge throughout the country, acting thus as missionaries for the navy In addition. the Knowledge they will gain of the navy's workings, while not making ac- tual sailormen of them in the short time of the cruise, will be useful if they are called upon to augment the navys regu- lar force of men. A land camp is not now contemplated by the department but Commander Crank favors camp on shore. on Narragansett bay or Cape Cod bay or some other convenient place in conjunction with the cruise. In such a camp volunteers for the cruise could become somewhat used to service condi- tons before undertaking the life on shipboard. and to it they could be taken for periods of boat drill, infantry dril

DUTCH WAR MOVE CAUSED BY
 ALLIES, NOT BY GERMANY

THE HAGUE, May 26. - Despite the statements of certain pro-Engiish newspapers, it is now known authori- tatiyely that it was fear of the Allies, and not of Germany that prompted the Dutch government to take war like measures a month ago.
 Certain reports reaching the Dutch government about steps taken by the Allies at the Paris economic confer encc caused grave concern here.
 The Minister of War informed newspapermen that the government was expecting an economic crisis of great importance, though he refused

Of our Representatives at Washington
and it is expected favorable action vill
be taken. Yakima county comission-
ers have ordered preliminary survey
made at once. Those of Klickitat
county, lying south of the reservation,
will construct such section as may lie

The following data was furnished the
Yakima Commercial club, bearing on
the proposed highway route across the
reservation. Mr.. Marble said: 1.-The
most favorable route is from North
Yakima to Wapato (cl0se to Yakima), /,
thence south to Ioppenish road, thence
west to White Swan. Leaving the
Toppenish road there, the route is up
Toppenish creek, and the divide be-
tween Toppenish creek and the Kheki.
tat river at Parrott bridge, connecting
with the Klickitat road at Glenwood.
Total distance from North Yakima to
Gienwood 66 miles.
'The only grade to be made is up
Teppenish creek. where, in distance
of six miles, an ascent of 1000 feet is
made. Road from top of the divide for
10 miles is comparatively level. Sum.
nit has an elevation of $3.50 feet, and
in 10 miles grade drops only 100 feet.
Road is through open timber. and will
be easily constructed.

at $4,000 a mile. The balance of 30
miles at $500 a mile. Reservation
