AMSTERDAM Feb 4. - Tho
Nieuwe Amsterdammcr launches a
campaign for military preparedness

heading, "IIelpless Holland" 1t says
In part:
I'VE must not forget that we are
defenseless. As defenseless as if our
army was solely composed Of men
who refuse to do military service.
service.
The army authorities In the be
ginning OF the war failed TO supply a
number of indispensable neccssarles,
such as heavy guns, and antialrcraft
guns. Thus the whole Of our expen-
sive mobilization has been mere
demonstration. No one knows this
better than the German general staff
"Our army has no guns to oppose
the placing OF heavy batteries by an
enemy, say forty miles from Amster-
dam. And If we had them, we should
not know In which direction to fire,
for we have no airmeu. Neither would
there be any supplies to fall back on
In Amsterdam.
I'VE thus have good reason to he
humble to our German nelghbor as
Uriah Heep. our soldiers could only
stand and allow themselves to be shot
down."
