the Hague, Netnerlan00.-(C0rre.
spondence Of the Associated Press.)-I
Hollands position has become much
more difficult in the last few weeks,
and the outlook IL considered a sombre
one. External economic pressure IL
declared to be principally responsible
for this, but various unpleasant incl
dents have contributed thereto.
In the recent British attack on par

ment. the British warships violated the
Dutch waters. and the Netherlands
government has asked for the satis-
faction 1t claims to be due under inter-
national law. including the restoration
of the captured ships. affair be-
tween two German prize ships and q
British submarine likewise took place
recently, and again partly In Dutch
waters. according to the official Dutch
version.
Spubmarins Causes Trouble.
On the other hand. German subma-
zine has once more run amuck among
Dutch fishing vessels. Of which seven
were sent to the bottom. Twenty
three of such craft. manned with 240
hands. have now been destroyed in
this manner since the beginning Of
February last.
There was. too. serious conflict Of
view between the Netherlands and
German governments over the question
Of the internment Of two German sub
marines. 1t finally being decided to re-
lease one and intern the other. The
German press complains that Holland
permits violation Of its neutrality OF
the grossest sort on the part Of Britain
and that the German empire cannot
put up with such weakness.
Holland Near War.
The recent multiplication Of these in.
cidents undoubtedly has enhanced the
deltcacy Of Hollands position, demon
strating once again that she stands on
the brink Of the precipice.
Critical as Hollands political no.
sition constantly is, It is her economic
position that has lately assumed 50
grave hue. She Is economically de-
pendent on both Of the great belliger-
emit groups and both have long been
putting the screws on. But the latest
American turn Of the screw Is causing
the keenest anxiety. It Is asserted
that the stoppage of the export OF
bread. grain and fodder from American
ports threatens the country with eco
nonnic disaster and even famine, that
Hollands own crops will only feed man
and beast for three months, and the
stocks on hand are good at most TO,
a few additional months.
Too Near to Horrors.
The nation at present Is far from re.
signing itself to participation In thu
war on either side. A vision of thu
fate Of Belgium. Serbia and Rumanis
always rises before the minds eye Of
any Hollander who contemplates wa,
on the side Of the entente, for thu

PANAMA JOINS U. S. WILL
AID IN DEFENDING CANAL

Panama-The President of the Re-
public of Panama, DR.. Ramon Valdez,
signed proclamation committing
Panama unreservedly to the assistance
of the United States in the defense of
the canal.
The President also Cancelled the ex-
equaturs of all the German Consuls in
Panama.
The proclamation declares:
"Our indisputable duty in this tre-
mendous hour of history is Of com.
mon ally, whose interests and exist
ence as we'll are linked indissolubly
with United States AS the situation
creates dangers for our country, it is
the duty of the Panaman people to CO.
operate with all the energies and re-
sources they can command for the pro-
lection of the canal and to safeguard
national territory.
"The attitude of the people was
foreseen and interpreted faithfully in
a resolution unanimously approved by
the National Assembly on February "a,
and confirmed by later laws, and the
moment has arrived for the Executive
tons of the supreme body. I there
fore declare that the Panaman nation
will lend emphatic cooperation to the
United States against enemies who
execute or attempt to execute hostile
acts against the territory of the canal.
or in any manner affect or tend to ar"
feet the common interests.
"The Government will adopt ade-
uuate measures in accordance with the
circumstances. l consider it the pa
triotic duty of all Panaman citizens to
facilitate the military operations which
the forces of the United States under
take within the limits of our country.
Foreigners, resident or transient, will
be obliged to submit to the conditions
of this declaration.
1t is announced that Germans resi-
dent in Panama will be interned II
they give an evidence of being in
volved in plots.
The proclamation was issued after
President Valdez had sent message
to President Wilson indorsing the Am
erican action in declaring state OF
war with Germany, latter the United
States had given uneQuivocal proofs OF
it's love of peace and had made efforts
to save Western civilization from the
horrors of war, and had borne with pa
thence a long series of provocations as
irritating as they have been unJust1'
fable"

AUSTRIAN MERCHANT SHIPS
TAKEN OVER BY UNITED STATES

Washington. Fourteen Austrian
merchant vessels in American ports
were taken over by the government
coincident with the announcement that
Austria had broken diplomatic rela-
tfons.
kilograms to the collectors or Gus
toms at the ports concerned were sent
personally by Secretary McAdoo in
structing that the crews aboard the
guards be placed in their stead. The
status of the removed crews will be
determined by immigration authorities
In a formal announcement of the
governments action Secretary Nc
Adoo made it clear that the govern
ment had not confiscated the vessels,
but had acted for the purpose of pro-
tecting them from further injury"
From this statement was inferred that
the ships were damaged by their crews
as in the case of the German vessels
taken over by the government upon the
declaration of war with Germany
The vessels thus taken into the
governments keeping were all Allan
tic or Gulf Ports as follows:
New York, Dora Himalaia, Ida and
Martha Washington, at Boston; the
Erny; at Philadelphia, the Franconia:
at Newport News, the Budapest; at
Pensacola, the Lucia; at Tampa, the
Borneo; at New Orleans, the Anna

PARTY LEADERS ACCEPT
PRESIDENT WILSON'S PLAN.

Washington.-President Wilson's
policy, outlined in his address to
Congress, of paying Americas war
bill so far as possible, while the war
is being waged, leaving a minimum
debt to posterity, was reflected in
virtual decision by leaders in the
House and Senate to raise fifty per
cent of the first years expenditures
by taxation.
Under this program Congress will
be called upon to raise war revenue
to the extent of $1,75O,O0O, 900
through new and increased meas
ures of taxation. during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1913. This is
exclusive of the $4,000, ZOO, 900 bond
issue authorization sought of Con-
gress this week. The total demand
upon the financial resources CT the
country during the first year Of the
war under this program would be
Sc, 75O, OOO, 900.
OF the $4,000 ,OOO,O to be raised
by a bond issue, $4,000, 900, 900. it j.:
was definitely stated, would be loan
ed to the Entente Allies. The en-i
tire issue, House and Senate lead
ers have agreed. will bear interest
at the rate of three and half per
cent. It is proposed to make the
loan to the Allies at this interest
rate which is lower by far than by
the rate they have been compelled
to pay on their previous isseus.

BY the action 1t is sought to recov-

By the complaint 1t is alleged that

II. Loisis Killed II. St
I'm Eureka Pit Fata

Harry Stathos. 81 years of age and
native of Magera. Greece, received
injuries while employed at the con-
verter building OF the Nevada Con-
solidated Copper company early last
Sunday morning. and died later In
the day at the Steptoe hospital.
The fatal accident was Investigated
by jury empaneled by Coroner Col
Inns and after hearing the testimony
and viewing the premises, a verdict
was returned to the effect that while
the Jury was unable to definitely de-
termine whether or not the deceased
came to his death by reason of his
own carelessness, II was found that
no carelessness or negligence existed
either on the part of the company or
the crew In charge of the engine or
the matte pot under which the de-
ceased was crushed.
According to the evidence, 1t ap-
peared that 1t was part of Stathos'
duties to cut off the oil which is burn
ed in the matte pot in order to keep
1t hot. When the crew was ready
to move the pot Stathos was not IN
sight, and a search was made for him
by the engineer and crew. This
search continued for about ten MN
utes and the pot had been standing in
the one position for about twenty
minutes before the search began.
When Stathos could not be found
one of the other men cut off the oil
II was pointed out that If the de-
ceased had been awake he could not
fail to hear the noise of this opera
tion. and when the oil was shut off
he would have known that the pot
was about to be moved.
When the engine was started up.
however, the cries of the man we're
heard and he was found beside the
track with his two limbs crushed off
He was Immediately removed to the
hospital, where every effort was
made. according to the testimony of
DR.. r. A. Bowdle. the physician In
charge, to save the mans life. but to
no avail.
1t seems to be the general impress
sion that the unfortunate nan had
sat down beside the large matte pot
and fallen asleep. II Is thought that
he had probably been enjoying the
celebration of the Greek Christmas
with his countrymen, and the lack of
sleep had Its telling effect when he
got into a warm place in the early
morning hours.
The body was inferred from the
Wilson-Bates undertaking parlors in
the Ely cemetery on Tuesday after
noon. and the funeral services, al
which there was an unusually large
attendance of the the deceased mans

we'll as a fellow countryman OF the
deceased, and who was employed
with him at the time OF the accident,
and OF DR.. d. w. Bedinger to
whom the unfortunate man was I'M
mediately taken. the jury brought In
verdict that the deceased came to
his death through an unavoidable
accident while engaged in his regular
line of work.
According to the story as told at
the inquest. the crew had just COM
pleted the work of removing large
boulder which had rolled down on
the track to a position where 1t could
be broken and loaded. j. c. Muir

direction He was caught by the
large rock and so badly crushed that
he was beyond all medical aid and
