historical and sentimental arguments

Opinions differ on the question OF
whether the ground is still sinking.
and what influences are responsible
for such 4 phenomenon. Some eN-
perts., like the ciyil engineer. ID. II. 5.
BlaupOt ten Cate, suppose that the
fall is a consequence Of what hap
pened in the middle tertiary period.
Mr.. ten Gates theory is that Holland
Is built up on alluSial mud flats, which
still participate in various movements
of the soil Some authorities believe
that material subsistence is still TAX
ing place, while others. again, are OF
opinion that the phenomena observed
are a consequence of certain move
ments OF the sea level, whereby yari-
GUS influences of another nature play
a role; that the sea level alters, but
that the land itself does not sink.
Subsistence Is Computed
Another civil engineer. J. G. Ra-
,Daer, is convinced from the results Of
water gauge observations that there
has been a subsistence of the land of
Holland as we'll as of that of border
ing countries and the greater part of
the British Isles. He says it may be
deduced from the entire list of such
observations that there has been an
average subsistence of 80 centimeters
per century, declining farther inland
to Is centimeters. That "a very con,
siderable subsistence is taking place
at the present time in the polders or
drained basins of the Netherlands, in
his opinion, is undeniable.

THE HAGUE, Nethenlands.-It may
not materially affect the present gen
Grafton or the next, but II the land
level Of Holland continues 70 sink,
there Is danger OF the subsistence be-
coming so great that. despite all the
progress OF engineering science. il
VIII be impossible TO much longer con.
time the present ceaseless struggle
with the waters. That Is the view
expressed before the Geological Min:
ing Society for Holland and its colon
les by Prof Molengraaff OF the Poly
technic University Of Delft, who is the
foremost Dutch geological authority.
A large partg Of the Netherlands,
particularly the western and north
western provinces, lies some feet be-
low the level of the sea, which is only
kept from overlooking hundreds of
square miles of land by the natural
barrier Of the long line Of sand dunes
that fringe the coast, reinforced at
two or three points by artificial
means. The level OF rivers and many
OF the canals in such regions are like
wise higher than the surrounding
country, being held In check by the
dikes and entertainments that are
maintained at great pains and CORE
spondingly high cost by the nation.
Naturally, therefore, the question OF
the continued, if very gradual, fall of
the land level bears an important
aspect in the eyes OF the Dutch peo-
pie, and it has recently been the sub
ject OF discussion among expert geolo-
gists. and hydrographical engineers.
Cost TO Grow Higher

"the subsistence is Of such a nature
that within measurable time posi-
ton of equilibrium comes about, then

3O3 CARS OF BERRIES
 THE TOTAL TO DATE
Serious Shortage of Cases May Hamper Movement
 of Berries.

The berry shipments the past week have been averaging better than IA cars day. 69 ears were shipped by the Fruit Growers Association and IS cars by the Shippers Union, which brings the total up to 303 cars or ap- proXimately 136,000 cases, ard the prospect is that notwithstand ing the supposedly short crop the total this year willru well over last years mark of 335 cars shipped.
 Prices have fallen off some but at the same time are excellent for the latter part of the season. Prices on Klondikes have ranged from $1.50 to 80 9 per case and from S2 25 to $3.00 6ae fo, Aromas.
 A shortage of cases has devel- oped that has proven quite aer- ious and there has been a big lineup of wagons at the box fac tory taking out the cases as fast as they are. made.
 The Fruit Growers Association has the promise of a car load of cases from Jonesboro today which will do much to relieve the situation.

24.-The advisory committee of the
war food bureau has concluded a
two-day session devoted to a general
review of the food situation. A de-
tailed statement in regard to the con-
ditions throughout the empire was
made by Adolph Batocki, president
of the food regulation board.
Herr Batocki said that the chief
difficulty lay in the shortage Of the
potato crop, enhanced by transporta-
ton troubles. He said that although
the grain crops had been better than
in 1915 the total nutritive value Of
the grain and potatoes together was
less and economical feeding was nee
essary to carry the population to the
end of the crop. Considerable sup
plies were available in Rumania, ac-
cording to Herr Batocki. but ship
ments could not be made in the guam
titles needed and hence actual sup
plies were short and rigid organiza-
tion of distribution was necessary.
Herr Batocki complained that the
situation was aggravated by the rich
er people buying underhand at fancy
prices what they wanted and thus
thwarting the work Of the food office.
He explained that the distilling of
brandy from grain and potatoes had
been prohibited since the beginning
Of the present crop year. and that
allotments OF barley to the brewers
were hardly more than enough to
produce beer for the army and er1-

OF North Dakota by the proposed con-
stitution of the secret caucus leaders

Senator Gronvold's bill provides for
the erection Of terminal elevator at
Fargo. and directs the board of rail
road commissioners to have general
supervision of the construction and
operation of same and making an ap-
