HOLLAND WANTS
TO KEEP GOOD WILL
OF AMERICAN PEOPLE

Amsterdam, Sept. N.-(Corres-
pondence OF The Associated Press.)
-HollanderS have been told by their
friends in the United States that
American opinion is undergoing a
change adverse to Holland. TO COM
bat this Il Netherlands society is pre-
pairing to send a special mission to
America in the hope OF more firmly
cementing the friendship OF the Two
nations.
Friends OF Holland in the United
States, according to the HandelS-
blad which is regarded as the lead
ing newspaper in the kingdom, have
sent word to Holland that the feel
ing in America is that the people OF
the Netherlands seem "indifferent"
to the tremendous issues Of the war.
The paper declares that the CON
census of American opinion is that
the Dutch fail to appreciate the pur-
ity of Americas motives, that the
Hollanders think of nothing but to

themselves and that the loudnesS OF
their protests against any incon-
veniences they may have suffered as
a result of Entente war measures IS
not proportionate to the moderate
ness Of their complaints against
Germany's crimes on land and sea.
The newspaper freely admits that
there is good ground for rcproah.
Many persons iii Holland, ) il says

cal or selfish purposes but to free
the world from the cancer Of mill
taristic imperialism.
Holland has not done nearly
enough to enlighten public opinion

ings of the American people. The

HUN NOW STRIKES
TO SAVE WASTING,
WEAKER MAN POWER

With the American Armies in
France, Sept. 20,-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press s.)-Conser-
vation is the word one hears coming
over the German lines now. Always
economical. the Germans are saving
now more than ever before in man
power. Since the day the Germans
started backward from the Marine
they have been conserving their
numbers as never before and they
have done it in a most admirable
manner. But it has been at the eX-
pense of positions.
The German losses in men have
not been so great as might have been
expected. In the fighting north of
the Marine the retreat was skilful-
" planned and carried out in man
ner that excited admiration. Ma
chine guns were substituted for men
at almost every point and the way
in which the German army is built
around that particular bit OF ord
nance has been very thoroughly
demonstrated.
Every backward step OF the en-
emy was guarded by the automatic
guns. Get back the artillery and the
bulk of the infantry was the order
repeated in the German army as the
French and Americans prodded
them. In almost every instance the
rear guard action meant the resist
ance of little machine gun units and
because of the clever manner in
which the nests" were placed they
were able to hold their own long
enough to enable the main armies
behind them to fall back.
They were not always placed in
lines but left here and there just
over the brow of hill or in the
deep woods, on the ground and in
the trees and almost always skill
fully camouflaged. But always their
disposition was coordinate. In the
end if was was up to every machine
gun crew to fight its own way out

BACKYARD FENCES.
AS Rule Survival From the Time
When Ugly Alright Partition
Boundaries Were Necessary.

Brooklyn Eagle: There may have
been time when these ugly, alright
backward fences were necessary tor
protection and there may be neigh
borhoods in which that protection
is still needed. As rule, however,
such fences are a survival from a
time when there was little civic spirit
in our cities aud no thought of
neighborhood cooperation for beau
ty or comfort. One correspondent
points out that they make the stag
nant backyards breeding places for
mosquitoes and malaria. which is
true. They also cut off the sun from
plots on which it would be impos-
sible to grow either flowers or a
few vegetables.
Think what the interior of a city
block might be with all these OBJ
structions removed, little space for
clotheslines reserved close to each
back door and the rest laid out with
a tree or some handsome shrubs in
the center. with a hard walk around
the whole for baby carriages or a
running track for big boys, with a
tennis court at one end and kim
dergarten playground at the other,
with swings and sand piles. Such
a plan might be impracticable for
blocks in which the houses abutting
from the side streets are occupied
by people of strongly different So
cial standards, and they might be
unsafe in blocks having vacant lots
to give admission to the park from
the street. But there are many
homogeneous neighborhoods in
Brooklyn where the experiment
might be tried, and there are many
groups of neighbors who might
throw together three or four yards,

BATHS FOR BATTLE
WEARY AMERICANS
IS OFTEN PROVIDED

With the American Army in
France, Sept. 20.--(Correspondcnce
Of The Associated Press. )-When a
soldier comes out OF battle the things
he longs for is a warm bath, a
shave, a change OF clothing and a
real bed. During the July and Aug
ust offensive when the Germans
were driven across the Marine to
the Vesle and with the Americans
on the move northward day and
night it was no easy matter to pro-
vide the soldiers with these essen
tials but day after day the task was
accomplished and in many in
stances the water for bathing pur-
poses was hot.
Further improvement OF the sys-
tenn of providing baths for the men
on the very edge OF the battlefields
is contemplated. American Off
GERS say that the day is not far away
when the rolling shower bath ap-
paratus will be as common a sight
along the roads back OF the lines as
are the rolling kitchens today.
One OF the divisions engaged in
the recent fighting used forty-eight
shower heads and also disinfector
In which battle soled clothing was
sterilized.
Even with this meagre equipment
we have been able to keep the fight
ing men in good condition" an Off
Ger reported. "At the bathing GEN.
ter we can bathe 1900 to l,5O0 men
each day. During the offensive we
averaged 1927 men per day. AS
they were relieved from the line they
were either marched to bathe or
transported in camions, and every
man was given a good, hot bath and
change of clothing. In four days
5,642 men and l37 officers passed
through the baths.
"The effect OF the baths on the
men was wonderful. They came
from the front lines worn out, dirty,
clothing torn, and left the baths
splendidly bucked up. physically and
mentally. As most of these men had
to 60 back into the line few days
after coming out, one can appreciate
the value of a bath and change OF
clothing.
at was exceedingly gratifying to
feel that we did not necessarily cease
to work while the division was in
action, at a time when it was very
important that the men coming back
should have the effect OF a bath and
clean clothing"
The medical officers report sets
forth that efforts are under way to
arrange for transportation of the
bathing equipment so as to con-
tinue the bathing programme when

or to resist to the last until swept
away by the allies artillery or over
by their tanks or infantry, but they
were so placed that until that time
came their fire was so directed that
it swept very efiectually the advanc-
ing lines. The Germans have lost
thousands OF their machine guns by
such tactics but they have saved
proportionately in men.
1t is this evident intention to
save manpower, so different from
their attitude earlier in the war that
has gone far towards convincing
many that their big military ma
chine is cracking and that they will
not be able to withstand 1 winter
