HOLLAND IN PINCH.
noeS Not Dare to Antagonize Allies
Just Now.

does Not Dare to AntagoniZe Aliies
Just Now.
Washington, Oct. 2O.-The other
day when Secretary of State lans-
ing had his regular conference with
the newspaper. men, almost every
ouostion asked him had to co with
the Dutch ships in our harpors, and I
whether any action SO far taken OF
contemplated was bkelyi to- lead g
a declaration of war by Holland
! The answer! in each! case 'iwasii an
emphatic NO"
The United States, in refusing 70
permit the Dutch ships''to have some
of our precious coal and in refusing
70 license those ships to carry our
precious grain. to Dutch ports, is &C
ing strictly within its rights.
But this war talk at the present
stage of the game is;all bunk any
how. Hard pressed as little Holland
is by Germany, which is growing 1or
food, she is in even worse case when
it comes to an~tagonizing the Allies'
Hudson river and inner New
York bay are filled with Dutch ships
There are a lot Of others in the ports
of England, Australia, Japan, Ne"
Zealand. and China. If Holland got
into the war on Germany's side she
would almost at once lose the ousk
Of her commercial fleet and all OF
her colonies.
Dutch Guiana, in South America
and the Dutch West indies, would
probably fall to our lot. The vast m
pire of the East Indies would Dc
quickly taken oyer by England and
Japan.
And Holland itself would be sub
iect to speedy attack. Her great com.
mercial cities are Rotterdam, on ono
of the mouths of the Rhine, n
Amsterdam, inside the Zuider Zee.
They would come under the guns OF
the Allied fleets. Holland itself Woulo
afford p vantage ground where the
Allies could Land men and attack
the German armies in Belgium m
the rear and flank, while the Anglo
Belqo-French armies kept them busy
in Flanders.
