Washington, April H.-The Ger

still is at The Hague and did not
leave for Germany as reported, the
Dutch legation announced today.
The Dutch minister 10 Berlin re-
turned to The Hague, it was SAID
to discuss with his government the
progress OF negotiations with Ger

No ultimatum, it was asserted at
che legation, has been sent to Hol-
and by Germany either in relation
to the sand and gravel dispute or
any other questions that have arisen.
The legation took occasion to
deny that Holland has put an en-
barge on the export of tin, cinchona
and kapok from the Dutch East In
dies, and said that the government
merely bad issued an order requiring
that exports be licensed. This ac-
ton, it was said, had nothing to do
with negotiations between Germany
and Holland, but is domestic mat
ter in which Holland alone was in

London, April U.-Referring to

he understands that the Dutch gov

ling a second Belgium, that is to say
a place from which Great Britain
may attack Germany. The posi-
blity of such development, is says,
cannot be diSregarded and warned
the Dutch in their own interest to
seek cover.
The Germania says the German
demands on Holland are intended to
restore the balance of that country
which lately has shown itself too
conciliatory toward the entente"
Captain Won Saltzmann, military
critic of the Vossische Zeitung, says
Holland is yet placed before final

trality still can keep outside the war
but she must understand that ar
end will come some day to German
patience, which has already beer

Return From Waterworks
Association Meeting at Tulsa

Commissioner Fraley and Zed
Cromwell, superintendent OF the
water works, have returned from
Tulsa where they went, with City
Engineer Watson, to attend the
meeting OF the Southwestern Water
works Association, composed of the
states of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mis-
souri. Louisiana, New Mexico and
Texas. Mr.. Watson went from
Tulsa to Nebraska to viist his faith
er. Mr.. Fraley said he expected
to see an extensive display OF water
works machinery, tools and appli-
ances, but the exhibitors had been
limited to shipments OF fifty pounds
each in order to conserve, wherever
possible, railroad shipping facilities.
He expected to buy tapping ma
chine and hoped to find one on ex-
hibition. He made the order but
did not find the machine there. The
meeting was largely attended and
some of the ablest men in the coun-
try in waterworks building and
maintenance were present.

PRICE FIXING IN
GERMANY FAILURE
UPPER CLASSES ROLL IN
WEALTH, MASSES IN ABB
JECT POVERTY.

Washington, April 2.-Price fix
ing in Germany has been failure,
and profiteering exists everywhere,
says the April bulletin OF the bu-
reau of labor statistics, The upper
classes are rolling in wealth while
the masses are in abject poverty.
Not daring to tax the people di-
rectly, the bulletin says, money IS
raised for the war by floating loans
These loans, although taken to some
extent by the wealthy classes, really
are paid for by , e peopie who nave
to pay exorbitaht prices. With i'm
ports cut off, the land does not pro-
duce enough to properly sustain
life.
Shortly after the war started
maximum prices were fixed on com
modities, but these, the bulletin says,
were evaded by dealers and produc-
ers, Regulation of the amounts OF
the necessities sold to one custo-
mer was attempted, but resulted in
much illicit trading at high prices
with the rich getting the much need
ed commodities.
German government figures show
the cost of living to have increased
III per cent, but the bulletin says
these figures do not show the rea
facts. Buying has to be illicitly
done to get the goods and enormous
prices have to be paid.

French guns opened fire in their
turn.
The aviators signalled quick
ly, that the result of the first
Salvo was most promising. Two
heavy shells exploded 250 yards
north OF the big guns, tearing
up the railroad tracks leading to
the concrete gun platform.
The firing was continued,
getting closer and closer until
finally, two enormous shells
went through the camouhage.
Two formidable explosions were
heard and the discounted Ger
mans saw Bertha damaged be-

reported that they could see

LOSS OF MOUNT KENNEL

Germans and the enemy after day
