Millions of Common
People So Inclined
Declares Newly Appointed Minister
from the Netherlands to v. S.-As-
sorts Holland Will Not Become Re-
public in Present Generation

New York, Nov 25--Jacob Theo
dore Cremer. newly appointed minis
ter from The Netherlands to the
United States, in talk with news
paper men here today just before his
departure for Washington. where he
goes to present his credentials, de-
clared that millions of the common
people of Holland had always been
strongly pro-Ally. He added that Hol-
land would never become q reDubIjc
with the life of the present genera
ton because Of the love Of the Dutch
people for Queen Wilhelmina and the
historic house OF Orange.
He made light of threatened revo-
luton in Holland and attributed
stories of the possible abdication of
Queen Wilhelmina to Pieter Trocl-
stra, "a pro-German Social Demo-
cratic member of the lower house.
whose proposition" he said was
turned down abruptly by the people
and probably never will be again
brought up
Discussing the future needs of The
Netherlands. he said ships must be
found to cary food to her people who
for more than four years out of a
scanty store had fed more than l.
10000 war refugees. The country, he
said, was in dire straits "a condition
which had been aggravated by the
falling far below normal of the rice
crop OF Java. Dutch bread, he said,
was so inferior to the bread sent from
America that Belgian refugees in
Holland refused to eat it.
The status of the former Emperor
OF Germany and his son, the ex-
Crown Prince, was dismissed by the
Dutch diplomat with the remark that
both were interned and that the
length of their stay could not be de-
termined. He laughingly added that
Holland would have preferred Swift
zerland should have had the ques-
honor Of being chosen as an
asylum for the deposed royalties. The
island OF Wieringen, where the ex-
Crown Prince had been taken, he
said, was an uninviting place and
by such shallow water
that no large vessels could approach

TO KEEP UPFIGHT
AGAINST RENT
PROFITEERING

Boston. Nov. 25.-Continuance of
local committees on rent profiteering
established in many places as a result
of the war and the formation Of sim
liar committees in all industrial COM

ers at the seventh annual conference
of the National Housing Association
James Ford, manager Of the commit
tee on rent profiteering. said beyond
question the local committees on rent
profiteering have played a very i'm
portant part in reducing industrial
discomfort in cities as they have been
established. This has been accepted
not only through the actual cases
handled by the committee but also by
stopping profiteering at the source"

DRILLING PROGRESS CONTINUES
AT BLACK CANYON OIL WELL

Reports of the driller at the oil we'll
up to last evening revealed the fact
that the well was down to a depth of
4S0 feet. About 20 feet of salt sand
was encountered and the same for
nation existed up to last night.
Some trouble has been experienced
by the men in charge with the boiler
and short shutdown will probably
be necessary to make the needed re-
pairs.
The following report has been or
dered to be published by the board
of directors of the company:
The original report concerning the
chemicals contained in the water from

alysis of said water, made by an ex-
pert analist of the University of
Colorado at Boulder. After / looked
into the advisability of erecting a
plant at Delta, the chemist was re-
quested to go over all of his work
to see if he had made any errors
When he did this he found that he
had made some bad mistakes. His
corrections show 1882 postassium.
Chloride, 2.33 common salt and not

ing such a good first report
I'VE will now have to send more
samples of water to different chem.

to see what the water actually con.
tains.
I'VE are informed that it may be
commercial even at the percentage
found in the last report
"A plant TO turn out a reasonable
amount of raw material would cost
in the neighborhood of s1OO.OOO.OO
The cost of running the same would
be close to $3.50 a day AT the pres
