BRITAIN AND HOLLAND
FACE A NEW ISSUE

THE HAGUE, February 24.-The
stoppage of considerable number of
neutral sailings to British and allied
ports has raised an issue between
Great Britain and Holland, according to
the Gazette de Hollande. The paper
SAYS:
I'VE can hardly expect Great Britain
to rest content while Germany secures
such advantages by illegal threats and
pressure. Great Britain has made
counter demands amounting to a COM
pulsory resumption of traffic with her
self. The situation can be only tenn
porary. Dutch shipping must be re-
sumed in due course, as the nations
life depends on its oversee commerce.
Dutch merchants are sensible to the
loss that would accrue if the connec-
ton with Great Britain was more or
less severed, but it is one thing for a
fleet of British merchantmen to cross
the North sea with a convoy of de-
stroyers and another for Dutch ships
to cross alone and unarmed. Both
countries have large interest in solv-
ing the problem set by German ruth
lessness and the solution will not be
found in hasty demands and angry
words"

BELGIAN RELIEF SHIPS
GRANTED SAFE PASSAGE
Sixteen Vessels Soon to Leave Ameri-
can Ports-Agreement Reached
With German Government.

NEW YORK, February 24.-Herbert C.
Hoover. chairman of the commission for
relief in Belgium, stated today that the
commission had effected an arrangement
with the British government on one side
and the German government on the 9TH
er. by which an acceptable lane for relief
commission ships between North Ameri-
can ports and Rotterdam has been agreed
upon.
Sixteen Ships to Sail.
The commission expects to dispatch
during the next few days the sixteen
steamers already loaded or loading in
American ports, and has made such ar
rangements for its supplies as will pre-
vent any delay in loading and dispatching
the twenty-th three additional steamers now
en- route or chartered for the commission
The commission says 1t desires to point
out that aside from the broad principle
of humanity involved in the dependence
of the Belgian people upon food supplies
in America, inasmuch as the COM
modities shipped to Belgium consist of
those food supplies of which there is an
it does not, in any way, infringe upon the
necessities of the American people"
To Use Northern Route.
LONDON. February 24.-The Belgian
relief commission announces that the
sailing of relief vessels from overseas
ports to and from Rotterdam has been
resumed. The vessels will proceed by
way of the northern route and will be
furnished with German safe conduct
passes as heretofore. No arrangement
has yet been made for the release OF
vessels bound for Rotterdam and which
now are held in port, but the latest ar
rangement assures a continuance of the
relief for Belgium and northern France
There has been much uncertainty con-
corning the status of Belgian relief ships
under the submarine warfare measures
issued by the German government OF
January 81. Negotiations have been in
progress between the Belgian relief COM
mission. acting through the Spanish am
bassador at Berlin, and the German gov
eminent. On February the commission
announced at Washington that the opera
ton of all its transportation facilities had
been ordered suspended pending the out
come of the negotiations. The relief YES
sells have been held up in various ports
throughout the world.

OYSTER PRICES MAY DROP.
Big Supply on Hand for Week Be
fore Inauguration.

Laden with about 1900 bushels of
Potomac river oysters, the schooners
Ella and John Branford arrived at the
oyster wharf late yesterday evening in
tow of the tug Carter. Their arrival
assures a good supply of oysters for
the next few days. as two vessels lying
at the wharf market before the other two
arrived had about 900 bushels aboard.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-02-25

Before the end of the week it is prob
able that other oyster-laden craft will
be arriving here. so that there will be
oysters on hand to meet the heavy de-
mand of the pre-inauguration week.
Yesterday from 80 cents to 81 and
over was asked for the bivalves. AS
the river is now open and the oyster
tongers and dredgers can return to
work. an increase in the catch Is
looked for This will probably bring
lower prices on the market here.

POMERENE'S INFLUENCE
STEADILY INCREASING

The people of Ohio made wise Sc
lection when they voted to return At
lee Pomerene to the United States
senate last fall, says the Mansfield
Shield editorially. Today he is one
of the leaders Of the senate, trusted
by the president and respected and
honored by his fellow senators.
A dispatch from Washington says
that it IS pretty definitely settled that
Senator Pomerene, now chairman OF
the committee on civil service and re-
trenchment, will be made chairman OF
the important committee on privileges
and elections, a position formerly held
by Senator Kern of Indiana. This
committee takes charge OF contests
for seats and passes on the qualifica-
tions of members prior to the action
of the senate. Other committee as
signments of Senator Pomerene in the
new congress are bank and currency,
District Of Columbia, foreign relations,
Indian depredations, interstate COM
merce and manufactures.
Senator Pomerene has been one of
the senators who has aroused the pa
triotism of the country by his utter.
ances. He is American through and
through and his patriotism is the kind
that is not of the clustering kind. It
is the kind that rings true.
Senator Pomerene has been power
in the senate and his influence is grow
ing. He has made a name for him
self. He is demo nstrating to the
people of the United States that he is
presidential timber.

LOWERING COSTS OF
POTATO PRODUCTION

Fifty years ago an acre of potatoes
yielded ITO bushels requiring fifty-five
hours of man labor. Now an acre
yielding 220 bushels requires but
thirty-eight hours thanks to the po-
tato planter and digger. One man
with good planter can open the rows,
distribute the fertilizer, drop the
tubers and cover them over an area Of
three to five acres each day. Planters
are now being used in many commune
ties and q greater area covered. Best
methods Of cultivation and fertiliza-
tion assist in reducing the cost per
bushel of growing potatoes, and at the
same time increasing the yields.
