KAISER OWES HIM
FOR FISH AND EGGS

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Base American F'lotillas in British
Waters, July 17.-There is at least one
person in this port who is praying for
the end of the war. He Is a poor fish
erman who has bill to present to the
German Emperor for a basketful Of
fish and eggs for which he says a Ger
man submarine crew forgot to pay.
One peaceful afternoon in the early
days Of the war while alone in his
boat within rifle shot Of the harbor a
the man had time to fall overheard
from fright an officer stuck his head
out of the coming tower and in per-
feet English asked If he could have
some fish.
Sure" said the excited fisherman as
he turned over a basketful.
Can you get us some eggs" asked
the German.
sure" said the man who promptly
pulled for shore. disappeared into his
hut for an instant and reappeared
with several dozen eggs which he
brought out to the hungry submarine
crew now lined up on the deck of the
waiting suhmersble.
Then instead of proferring payment
the crew said thanks in their native
tongue. laughingiy announced they
were Germans and made off.
Il thought they were English until
then said the fisherman whose story
IS the pet yarn OF this place.

N0RWAY'S EXPORTS
or FOOD TO GERMANY

(Associated Press Correspondence
Chrisitania, Norway. July 16.-ln
view Of tho accusation that neutral
countries Of western Europe have been
shipping large quantities of food anI
supplies Of all kinds into Germany and
because OF the evident intention of the
United States to place an embargo
upon the shipment of food, fuel and
materials the figures showing Nor
ways imports and exports for 1915 are
of more than usual interest not only in
Norway but in the United States
These figures have Just been made
public by the Official census bureau
They show that Norway ipmorted from
the United States in 1915 $4,000 900
worth of goods as compared TO i'm
ports of s19,0O0.000 from the same
sources in 1914. At the same time her
imports from Germany increased from
$40. 100000 to s42,0o00oo and those
from Great Britain from s43000,000 to
s67,000.000.
Norway's exports to Germany in
1915 amounted to s50.000,000, an in
crease Of $4,000 900 over the previous
year Her exports to Great Britain
also increased from $4,000 900 to s53-
000.0 900 while her exports to the United
states decreased from $4,000 900 to
100000.
The figures of the census bureau
show that Great Britain supplied in
1915. 90 per cent of Norway's imports.
Germany II per cent and the United
States q per cent.
The figures showing Norway's trade
for 1915, it is announced, will show
that her exports steadily diminished
during that year and that they have
fallen still lower during the present
year. owing to the placing Of an en-
barge upon the export Of many arti-
cles and because Of the agitation
which it has spread throughout the
country to induce the government to
forbid the export OF all kinds of food
or farm products. except in exchange
for supplies which Norway needs from
other countries.

For the first time in its history The
Netherlands has a civilian war MIN

of its old military men are shaking
their heads and prophesying little

Major General \. Bosboom had been

thus covering the entire period of war
and Of Hollands mobilization. His
administration. in the last critical
three years, is generally acknowledged
to have in many respects merited the
appreciation of his countrymen.
1t was General Bosboom who was
responsible for the rapid mobilization

tiles which. maybe, preserved Holland
from the food of war. Under his d.
rect;on the number Of trained men has
been increased from between 100000
and 400, 600 to over 500, 900.
The clouds of discomfort had been
gathering fer some time. For nearly
three years hundreds of thousands of
Hollands citizens have been kept I'M
der arms in most CALLING Circumstance
es: the army was not required to fight,
and Vet it could not be sent home.
The influence Of the protracted mo-
bilization on the social and economic
life OF the nation has become more and
more trying. Grievances and com
plants multiplied.
Things came to a head on the nucs-
ton of calling up the 1908 Landstnrm
levy. The military authorities decided
to call it up for training before tn"
1918 militia levy, that iss to say, men
Of 90 years of age before men of 20;

Parliament Enthusiastically expressed ITS
opinion on the subject. but the war
office and it's representative refused 70
how to the Chambers wishes, the Sc

Indignation and the minister's fall.

Gently voted to increase its naval
forces for the protection of Hollands
possessions in the Orient" was the
statement attributed to J. B. HUI
brecht. newly arrived secretary Of the
Holland legation, in an interview pub
lished here.
II can assure you." continued Mr.
Kubrecht, that the popular sentiment
of my country toward Japan is gen.
timely friendly. and the desire is
strong to see the economic and COM
mercial relationship between Japan
and the Dutch East Indies become
tighter The open door Is the policy
Of Holland in developing those pos
sessions and japanese capital is well
coined just as equally as French
British, American. or any other.
He concluded: with the tremen-
dous commercial interests and the en-
ormous amount of capital invested not
only by Holland. but by other coun-
tries as we'll, those islands call for suf-
ficient protection. The present war has
taught a lesson that even a small
country needs to show that it is pre-
pared. Holland feels that she is bound
by the universal code of ethics and
political honor to do all she can to
safeguard the interests of those pos
sessions which are of great worth to
all the countries of the world, and to
help the Japanese 70 develop into a
