FEAR FOR HOLLAND
Official News Shows Kaiser's
Presence Hurts.
May Inflame People and En-
danger Country.

Washington. Nov. 16.-Informa-
ton reaching here from official
sources indicates that the situation in
Holland is causing grave apprehen-
sion and that the presence there of
the former German emperor with
members of his family and some of his
strongest supporters may SO inflame
the people as to endanger the mon
archy. While it is true, it is pointed
out. that the former kaiser is prac-
tically a prisoner in the Won Bentinck
castle' he is not the prisoner of any
of his foes.
1t was suggested the immediate fate
of the ex-kaiser is of little moment
compared with other affairs in Europe
and it is chiefly because of the effect
of his presence upon an already dis
turbed state in the Netherlands that
he is the object of concern among al
lied statesmen. Bolshevism apparent
ly has taken root in Holland. Before
the war the relations between the
Dutch and German courts were very
close and it is suggested that the Boil
shevists may see in the presence of the
former ruler of Germany an excuse to
precipitate an uprising against the
queen

LITTLE ALLIES WORRY
Hoover Says Germany Does No
Bother Us in Least.

New York, Nov. 16.-The American
people will not have to deprive them
selves of a mouthful of food to feed
Germany. Herbert Hoover, federal
food administl ator, declared here to-
day before sailing for Europe to hold
a series of conferences on world food
supply with allied and neutral food
officials.
1--WE are not worrying about Ger
many" said Hoover. "She can take
care of herself. What we are worry
ing about is the little allies who have
been under the German yoke. They
are faced by famine. We must give
them help and lose no time in doing
so.''
Administrator Hoover declared that
Germany was not faced by starvation
and Nthat as soon as the water-tight
blockade was relaxed she could get all
the food that is needed

TO ARRANGE The RETURN

New York, Nov 16.-Herbert Hoov-
er. food administrator and Edward n.
Hurley. chairman of the. shipping
board, sail for Europe today ON the
White star liner Olympia. Hoover is
going abroad to take charge of the
huge task of feeding hungry millions
in war-devasted countries. Hurley's
mission is to arrange for the home
ward voyages of Americas troops
overseas.
A. Hurley declared he believed the
Yankees can be transported home at
the rate of 300,0 900 a month, in Ameri-
can vessels. He announced that the
homeward movement has already
started and that in few days the
soldiers will commence disembarking
in New York. The first arrivals will
be those who were disabled and re-
moved from the firing line before the
armistice was signed, he said.
The signing of the armistice. Hurley
said, released 100000 tons of addi-
tional shipping-G erman ships in neu-
trail ports and vessels that have been
engaged in the nitrate trade.
Regarding the Leviathan and other
German vessels taken over by this
country at the outbreak of the war,
Hurley said that the question of the
ownership of the vessels would be
settled at the peace conference.
War Department Plans.
mobilization of the Dizzy brigades''-
development battalions-in home can
tonments and quick return of sick and
wounded from overseas are the i'm
mediate Homecoming plans of the war
department.
However, schemes are rapidly shap-
ing themselves today whereby the
westbound movement of troops can be
undertaken soon. The trip of Chair
man Hurley. of the shipping board to
Europe deals mainly with the prob
lem of return of United States soldiers
to this country.
That the department has not yet de-
cided on pronounced return seems
likely. However. general staff indica-
tons are that the New England, Rain
bow and perhaps Sunset divisions will
be back by Christmas, with perhaps a
few more. There IS a disposition to
return the men according to length of
service, but more particularly on the
basis of industrial adapta bility. Hence,
certain service of supply men, me-
chanics, electricians and the like are
likely to be culled out first for return
home
Use Enemy Shipping
A proposal is to be worked out
whereby some idle German and Aus
TRAN tonnage can be utilized for troop
transport. England has already with
drawn some of her shipping from
United States service and this process
will increase as England needs her
ships. for her own transport problems.
The indefiniteness of the troop ques-
ton like the vagueness of many other
problems here, is causing uneasiness
in industrial lines. Business agencies
are clamoring daily for an expression
of policy. They want to know what to

from Turkey.
Gives Serious Thoughts.
This government is giving serious
thought to the feeding of the central
empires, but does not propose to be
hurried into a peace session with the
Teuton pleas. In fact, the, German
notes are beginning to be regarded as
a drug on the market, as evidenced
by Secretary Lansings notice to Ger
many that she must deal with all the
allies, not alone with the United States.
Neither the White House nor state
department has given any official ex-
preston concerning the peace confer
ence. No time has been set and the
government is steadfastly keeping its
own counsel.
These Will Attend.
In addition to President Wilson,
Secretary Lansing, Justice Brandeis
and Colonel House. who are expected
to attend the conclave, there must be
military and naval delegates and the
legal branches of the army and navy
are likely to be invaded for these rep
: resentatives who may be supplemented
by Admiral Sims and General Bliss or

This section of Doctor Soils message

American delegates could discuss

who has rendered such great services
in Belgium.
