This was the most critical amend.

ing the safe passage of the measure
despite the fact it is heartily disliked
by large section of parliamentarians

The strong sentiment against hav

however. predominated over the op

SERIOUS BLOW TO HOLLAND
Germany Stops All Expectation of Coal
to Former Country.

Amsterdam, July 25.-Germany has
stopped all expectation of coal to Hol-
land
AS Holland gets practically its en-
tire coal supply from Germany this
action will make conditions in The
Netherlands serious
Why Germany placed the embargo
is not stated, but it is known that
Germany has threatened to cut of
the coal supply to Holland unless the
Dutch continue to furnish Germany
with food Under this threat the
Dutch have been shipping food tc
Germany, though short of provisions
themselves.
1t Is well known that large quaint
ties of food sent to Holland from the
United States has found its way in
to Germany. When the United States
put the embargo on food exports tc
European neutrals Holland protested
saying her people would starve.
Now that food shipments from the
United States to Holland have beer
stopped, 1t is probable the Dutch have
ceased to send food into Germany
and the Germans have retaliated by
cutting off the coal supply.
