Holland will soon be over if the meas
urcs taken by the authorities to sup

prove as effective as they have done
hitherto. Not a Gay passes but large
quantities Of foodstuffs and articles of
prime necessity which have been with
held from the open market are seized
under powers recently conferred upon
the police. These goods. which are
discovered in all sorts of queer hiding
places wre of course held for higher
prices, but they are now placed on the
free market and can fetch no more
than the maximum prices fixed by the
authorities.

Statement Of Senator Penrose
Senator Boies Penrose before de-
parting for Washington issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Republicans throughout the coun-
try will be sincerely gratified to learn
that the National Committee adjourned
with complete harmony prevailing on
every side. The discussion relating to
the various matters coming before the
committee and particularly to the
question of craftsmanship was conduct
ed in an amicable spirit without any
factional division and with a single
view to party unity and party sue
cess. Mr.. Hays has been chairman of
the Republican state committee of In
diana in several hard-fought battles.
resulting in Republican success and he
has the reputation of being one of
the best political organizers in the
country. He seems to have the pecu-
liar qualifications required at this time
and he will have the full cooperation
of the national committee"
Adams to Remain Vice Chairman
John S. Adams who, after a long
fight, withdrew as candidate for
chairman, leaving the field to Mr.. Hays.
it was said, would remain vice chair
man. The vice Craftsmanship probab-
y will be taken up at the first meeting
called by Mr.. Hays.
Mr.. Adams was the first candidate
in the field for the craftsmanship. He
credited George W. Perkins with pro-
noting the propaganda of pro- Ger
manism against him. Even his enc
mics did not question his present Am
ericanism, but held that at this time
no man who had at any time showed
the least friendship for Germany's
militaristic policies could serve the
party as chairman.
The pledges for and against him
We're dead!ocked until within a half
hour OF the meeting. Then he verbal
~ announced his withdrawal "in the
interests of harmony"

i'AAHiSIA q va ANA q UeclSlON on the
question of continuing the Monday
closings in this section of the country
Less Coal for New England
Commenting on the outlook Mr.
Storrow said:
The Washington dispatches mean
that the states which are located near
est the mines and which have had less
trouble getting coal are to be given
further preference over New England
The proportion of coal at the mines is
not sufficient to meet the demands of
all the states, therefore, it follows that
II the states nearest the mine are to
be given all the coal they want there
Will be less coal left for New England
II the object of the fuel adninistra-
ton Is to distribute the war burden
equally it would seem TO me that this
Is not the way to do it"
Figures of coal movements reported
SHOW that the flow of coal into this
territory is not equal to that which is
being burned each day SO that the
amount on hand is steadily diminish
ing. The supply in Boston tonight was
only little over 10000 tons. equally
divided between hard and soft coal.
