U. S. EMBARGO

INeutrals Complain Proposed
Shipping Restrictions Will
Bring Suffering.

II the United States enforces a
rigid embargo against Holland it will
go hard with the little nation by the
North Sea. All the neutrals are Wig
orously protesting to the State De-
partment against the enforcement of
a rigid embargo on foodstuffs. Hol-
land has made special appeal.
From an official high in the Meth
erlands Legation it was learned yes
terday that figures have been present.
cd to President Wilson purporting to
prove that Holland has sent but %
per cent of her exports to Germany.
The other rs per cent is going to
England.
Chevalier van Rappard. Netherlands
Minister at Washington, consented to
say something of the difficulties of
his country in preserving neutrality on
the very brink of the chaos of the
war.
my country" he said, "cannot be
forced into this war by economic pres
sure. But let one soldier OF either
side set foot on Dutch soil, and 1t will
be shown that Holland can fight
again against overwhelming odds, can
fight a whole century for her liberties
as she has done before.
Ours has been a most tremendous
burden. Our people now are living on
reduced rations. The Dutch work
man gets but a pitiful allowance of
bread. Besides, We are feeding 1000
900 refugee Belgians. More, when the
Belgian commission ran short Of
grain while ago, Holland let them
have 10000 bushels of the grain she
herself needed so badly.
Yes. 1t is true that the imports of
Holland from the United States have
increased since the war. But our i'm
ports, as a whole. have been reduced
almost 10 per cent. We got most of
our grain before the war from Ru-
mania and from Russia. Both those
sources are closed to us now: OF
course, our imports from you have
increased, but that has not meant an
abnormal supply for us. '.'''.'--
IT'S ridiculous to. talk OF a huge
Illicit trade with Germany. Every
that 1 get from home tells
of one or two poor devils shot while
trying to run the border guards. The
border Is so guarded that no consider
able business could be done across IL.
"Of course, we do some trade with
Germany, but 1t is only one-third of
the exports we make to England"
1t may be stated on high authority
that there is no disposition on the
part of the allies to free Holland into
the war. 1t has been the hope of Eng
land that Denmark would yet join
with her, and that hope has not been
abandoned. But the general desire
has been to hold Holland neutral.

China DRIFTS
TO MONARCHY
Dictatorship Reported Sci
Up as Chaos Rules
In Republic.

China is rapidly drifting back
towards a monarchy, according tc
official dispatches received by the
State Department yesterday.
A dictatorship already is re-
ported to have been established al
Peking. while practical civil wal
exists throughout the country. Gen
Chang-Shun, with q strong army
Is attempting to seize control oi
the government in the interests OF
the deposed boy emperor" Hsuan-
Tung, whom he would return tc
the throne. Associated with Gen
Chang-Shun is Hsu Shih Chang, q
member OF the cabinet under the
monarchy.
The boy emperor already has
issued q demand, apparently on the
advice Of Gen. Chang-Shun, that
President Ii Yuan Hung abandon
his office and turn the reins of gov
ernment over to the Manchus. The
seizure of power by Chang -Shun
and the manifesto have occurred
without any violence, SO far as can
be learned from dispatches.
The dispatches are most meager,
They came from Ambassador Paul
S. Reinsch at Peking. They do not
bring events to date, and much
interest is manifest at the State
Department as to what is now
going on
While the interest is intense
little concern was manifest in ad-
ministration circles. Whether the
hand of Japan is pulling the
strings behind the scenes no of.
icial cared to speculate, but there
has been a general knowledge that
Japanese opinion was not favor.
able to republic in China.
Foreigners are not being subjected
to indignity of any sort. and while the
State Department, in view of the fact
that this nation Is now at war in the
interests of democracy naturally
would like to see the republican gov
ernment Of China survive, is not espe-
cially worried about the developments
II Is believed that even should the
monarchy regain power a more liberal
form Of government than under the
old regime would be established.
America rather had her fingers
