DUTCH SHIPPING SEIZED

Washington, March, 20.-All Dutch
shipping in American ports was or
dered seized tonight in a proclama-
ton by President Wilson.
The proclamation was issued after
the war trade board received word
from London that Holland had re-
fused the American ultimatum for a
transfer of the ships, according to the
original agreement, which Germany
blocked. All Dutch shipping in Brit
ish waters is being being requistion-
ed simultaneously.
Naval guards will go on board the
ships Immediately. Approximately
II vessels, with tonnage estimated
as high as 100000 tons thus will be
added to the American merchant ma
rine. The ships in British waters will
add another 100000 or 100000 tons
to the allied merchant fleets.

TO Raise BLUE RIDGE
!. N. c. A. PLEDGE

On March 9th Mr.. l.. L. Griner
President of the Chamber of Com
merce, was authorized to sign a card
pledging the amount of $4,000 to as
sist in the training of some 1000 men
men for the Y M. c. A. work in the
army, the Blue Ridge Training school
having been offered for this purpose.
Some $4,000 of this pledge was raised
at this meeting by individual sub
scriptions, a number of representa-
tive citizens being present at the time
in the interest of the automobile
show.
Mr.. Griner asked the assistance of
the ministerial alliance in raising the
remaining $4,000, and each pastor
has appointed one lady from his
church, with Miss Louise Smith as
chairman of the committee, to COM
plete the pledge. This committee
met at the Library yesterday, as fol-
lows: Miss Louise Smith, chairman;
Mesdames Will Adams, G. P. Mingle-
dorf, Lon Dickey, H. L. Beauchamp,
and Misses Osborne and Funder-
burke.
In order that one man might not
be approached twice. the amount was
divided according to churches. This
does not mean that each church
pledges certain amount, but that
each member of the committee will
endeavor to see such members of her
church as might contribute to this
most worthy cause
These ladies can i'll afford the time
required to raise this pledge, and
should not be required to go forth as
beggars on the streets, losing time in
explanations, and often receiving
marked discourtesies from citizens
approached. They are not responsible
for this pledge, and it is only civic
pride that leads them to assist in re-
deeming it. Therefore, your own
civic pride is appealed to, and pa
triotic citizens should decide upon the
amount they can give to this cause
and see the member of the committee
from their respective churches with
out delay.
One prominent citizen says, 1T is
indeed most worthy cause, and Ben
Hill county should not fail to come
up with her apportionment. gave
$500 in a nearby town, and take

coming week,

There is not the slightest inclina-

that the Russians expected far more

to save their own faces. Everything
