The committee Is In hopes that the
public will feel that this fund should
be voluntarily subscribed as far as
possible, and that every one in the city
will contribute. no matter how small
the amount. Roy r. Bradbury, Of the
Fidelity Savings Bank, treasurer of the
campo ign fund, will receive any
amounts at any time; money may be
handed to Chairman McCreery, or may
be left at the Y. NJ c. A. The men
engaged in the campaign are all busy
and any subscriptions that are made

volunteers who will help raise the fund
is sought by the committee, which ex-
poets TO continue the work Of solicita-
ton until every one in the city

DUTCH SHIP RELEASED
BY WAR TRADE BOARD
Nfetw Amsterdam Will Take Sup.
plies and Holland Refugees From
All Parts OF World.
INDICATES EARLY AGREEMENT
Other Dutch Ships Probably Will En-
ter American Coastwisc Trade
Through Agreement With Hague
Government, 1t Is Believed.
tBy Associated press.l

w \ SH n G II o y. November g.
An early agreement between the United
states and Holland on the disposal OF
Dutch tonnage in American ports was
seen here to-day in the release by
the War Trade Board of the Dutch
steamer Nieuw Amsterdam for re-
turn trip across the Atlantic.
The vessel will leave an American
port shortly carrying cargo of pack
age freight for Holland, 10000 tons Of
corn for Belgian relief and several
hundred Dutch refugees as passengers.
Wire cable, badly needed for the
operation of Dutch coal mines, Will
mako up part of her cargo.
Licenses for the Nicuw Amstcrdam's
cargo were held up by the American
authorities when tho Dutch govern
incnt refused to give assurances that
she would not be informed for safety
rs soon as she reached the other side.
In tho negotiations that followed, the
American government refused to re-
cedc from its position, and finally the
Dutch yielded.
A final agreement as to the opera
ton of the other Dutch vessels held
in American ports was believed to-
night to be in sight. The principal
clauses Of this agreement, it is re-
ported, will provide that large num-
Der of Dutch ships enter the American
coastwise trade 10 release American
vessels for overseas service; that part
Of the tonnage be placed in trade to
tho Dutch East Indies for the benefit
Of Holland and the allies. and that
limited number of ships he permitted
TO ply between America and Holland,
carrying cargocs to be approved by
the War Trade Board.
Refugees who will sail on the Nicuw
Amsterdam have gathered in the
United States from many ends of the
Garth.
Some came from the Dutch East
indies and many from the Orient. All
have been waiting an opportunity to
reach Holland safely.

IN FULL AGREEMENT
ON CHINESE POLICY


China, nevertheless. remains unim-
paired, and the government OF the
United States has every confidence in
the repeated assurances OF the i'm
pcrial Japanese government that, while
geographical position gives Japan such
special interests. they have no desire
TO discriminate against the trade Of
other nations or to disregard the COM
mcrcial rights heretofore granted by
China in treaties with other powers
THE governments Of the United
States and Japan deny that they have
any purpose to infringe in any way
the independence or territorial in
tcgrity of China. and they declare. fur
thermore. that they always adhere to
the principle of the so-callcd open
door," or equal opportunity for COM
merce and industry in China.
Moreover, they mutually declare
that they arc opposed to the acquisition
by any government of any special
rights or privileges that would affect
the independence or territorial In
tcgrity of China or that would deny
to the subjects or citizens of any coun-
try the full enjoyment of equal oppor-
tunity in the commerce and industry OF
China.
Il shall be glad to have Your Elk
cellcncy confirm this understanding of
the agreement reached by us.
Accept, EXccllency, the renewed as
surancc of my highest considera ton.

were increasing, and were more and
more believed. Legitimate commercial
and Industrial cncerprises without
Interior motive were presumed to have
political significance, with the result
that opposition 20 those enterprises
were aroused in the other country.
THE attitude of constraint and doubt
thus created was foStcred and encour-
aged by the campaign OF falsehood
which for long time had been adroit-
~ and secretly carried on by Germans,
whose government. as part Of its
foreign policy, desired especially to 80
ALLEVIATE this country and Japan that
1t would be at the chosen time no diff
ncult task to cause n rupture of their
good relations. Unfortunately, there
were people in both countries, many of
whom were entirely honest in their be-
lief. who accepted every false rumor
as true, and aided the German propa-
ganda by declaring that their own gov
eminent should prepare for the conflict,
which they asserted was inevitable.
that the interests of the two nations
in the Far East were hostile. and that
every activity of the other country in
the Pacific had sinister purpose.
Fortunately, this distrust was not
so general in either the United States
or Japan as to affect the friendly re-
lations of the two governments, but
there is no doubt that the feeling or
suspicion was increasing, and the un-
true reports were receiving more and
more credencc in spite of the earnest
efforts which were made on both sides
of tho Pacific to countcract a move
ment which would jeopardize the an
cfent friendship of the two nations.
THEIR VISIT ACCOMPLISHES
GREAT CHANGE IN OPINION
THE visit of Viscount 1shii and his
colleagues has accomplished great
change of opinion in this country. In
few days the propaganda of years
has been undone, and both nations are
now able TO see how near they came
TO being led into the trap which had
been skillfully set for them.
The principal result Of the ncsotia-
tions was the mutual understanding
which was reached in relation to China.
This understanding is formally set
forth in the notes exchanged, and now
made public. The statements i'm tho
notes require no explanation. They
not only contain a rcaiilrmation Of the
open door policy. but introduce a prin-
ciple OF nonintcrfcrcncc with the SOW
erciGnty and territorial integrity OF
China.
The removal OF doubts and sus-
picions and tho mutual declaration OF
the new doctrine as to the Far East
would DC enough to make the visit of
the Japanese commission to the United
states historic and memorable, but it
accomplished a further purpose in OK
pressing Japan's earnest desire to CO.
operate with this country in waginE
war against tho German government.
AT the present time it is incxpedient
10 make public the details of those con-
Vcrsations, but it may be said that this
government has been gratified by tho
