On Account Of War, Trip From HoL

sumes Nearly Week.

Holland is now becoming as distant
In point of time as America was be-
fore the war, observes the London
Chronicle. The journey, according
to the latest copy Of the Gazette de
Hollande, requires on occasions five
days and six nights.
At the present moment, II says,
voyage to England is a complicated
and lengthy business. 1t will be re-
membered that the iceland and Ba-
tavIer lines have abandoned their serv-
Ices TO and from Britain. Another
Dutch line, the Holland Steamboat
company, now refuses passengers. But
now this line has been requisitioned
by the British consul general at Rot
terdam.
To cross to Britain would, therefore,
be practically impossible, If it were
not for the Holland-American line,
which agrees to carry passengers to
Britain on the following conditions:
First of all written declaration from
the British minister at The Hague is
required to the effect that the authori-
ties will allow the applicant to land
at Falmouth. Then, the British con-
sui at Rotterdam has to wise the pass
for Falmouth. Finally, the passenger
has to pay for full passage to New
York in case difficulties should arise
at Falmouth and he should be obliged
to make the voyage to the United
| States.
On debarkatlon Mt Falmouth the
Hollnnd-American company refunds
the surplus of the passage. From Rot

humanitarian movement designed to

comes well within the police powers

Following a seemingly studied pol
fey Of delay the Missouri senate has
adjourned from time to time, and
more than half Of the time of the ses-
sion has slipped away.
The committees of the 1917 senate
have reported 229 bills, while those
of the 1916 senate, in exactly the
same period of time, reported 340.
The 1917 senate has engrossed 95
bills, while the 1915 senate in the
same time had engrossed ia. The
senate this year has not passed a
dill, while the 1915 senate by this
time had passed IL senate bills and
three house bills, and the latter three
had become laws.
About 1900 bills already have been
introduced in the house and senate.
Several hundred more will be read
before the lawmakers place ban up
on the introduction Of measures.
Scores of local measures will be
passed, but as whole, few bills OF
statewide Importance will be con
sidered outside of the revenue and
penal acts.
The act to create a tax commits.
sion, the most important Of the rev
enue measures, has been engrossed
in the house.
There promises to be stormy SEES
sions in the near future, when the
house and senate will consider the
pending bills relating to the peniten

be done. There is little doubt but
