planting. in order to induce a more
rapid examination. The seedlings
should be thinned TO 3 or inches

Little Holland Could Be Strau That
Would Break Germanys Back
BY MILTON BRONNER.

| Washington, July 19.-Behind the
immediate purpose OF the food and
necessities embargo, to cut Germany
off absolutely from outside supply
and thus starve her and cripple her
industries, lies the ultimate purpose
of forcing the neutrals into war on
the Allies side. g.. ~. a. - Z
At first thought, Holland and Nor
way seem unimportant small coun.
tries, with small armies. all needed
to repel German invasion.
But that is merely the superficial
aspect. The large strategical posi-
bilities of these countries, particular
ly Holland. would make their entry
of only slightly less consequence than
that of the United States.
England, France and the United
States" a well known authority on
military affairs tells me, might we'll
afford to give Holland billion in
cash, guarantee unlimited munitions
and back up her army with a half
million troops to secure Holland as
base for military, naval and aerial
operations against Germany.
Look at the map and see why.
Holland would be lance point thrust
into the very heart OF Germany. The
heart of Germany is the Westphalia
district--the Iron Country-where
Germanys great munition plants are
located.
Germany would face this terrible
situation:
First, her army would be threat
ened from the rear from the Belgian
coast to Verdun, her lines OF COM
munication would be in danger, and
there would be no safety in a re-
treat which stopped short Of COM
plete evacuation of Belgian and
French soil
Second, Essen, with the great
krupp plants, Crefeld, Bermen and
other important munition centres, all
less than 40 miles from the Holland
border, would be within 20 minutes
airplane fight and subject to con-
slant bombing. -, 80
=, Third, the. ,Kiel; canal, less than
100 miles away, would he subject to
constant destructive air raids.
Fourth, the British navy. using the
Dutch coast as a base, would serious
ly threaten IIeligoland and force the
uIboats to restrict their activities to
the North sea and the Atlantic.
FINALLY, Germany would have a
new set of lines, more than 200 miles
long, to defend: This would call for
a million German troops, obtainable
only by calling out the last reserves
and weakening the French and Rus
sian fronts to the breaking point.
''There is, of course, danger that
Holland, forced into the war, may go
with Germany, but the chances are
so great she will side with the Allies
and the advantages are so enormous
that the Allies are more than justi7,
fed in running the risk, ,' ',., u,
