GERMANY Gets
FOOD FROM HOLLAND
HOLLAND WRITERS DENY AMERl.
CAN CHARGES--WANT EN-
BARGO REMOVED.

Amsterdam, Jansnry 26-Correspond-
enee OF The Associated Press)I The
question whether, and to what extent,
Holland is responsible fer the cont
lnuation Of the war by her food sup
plies &c Germany has caused con-
troversy in the Dutch newspapers.
c. j: *. Van Aalst head of the Not
herlands Oversee Trust. i'll his recent
open letter to President Wilson.
pleaded for the removal of the Ameri-
can governments embargo on food
shipment to Holland; one Ct his argu-
men-s being that the continuation of
Hollands trade with the Central Pow
ers while of vital importance to Hol-
land inself, is of small account so
far as aid and comfort to the Enten-
teS enemies is concerned.
An article in the Amsterdam Tele.
graph from Entente side of American
origin, it is limited replies to Mr.. Van
Aalsts arguments by showing that,
according to official Dutch statistics
Tor 1916, there were exported from
Holland to Germany OF potatoes,
potato flour, butter, eggs, rice, cheese,
margarine, sugar, fish, meat, fruits.
peas and beans 91S,355 tens, sufficient
to feed 100000 soldiers for a year.
The same authority calculates that
in 1916 Holland imported from over
seas 91S,251 tons of cereals, flour
cocoa, rice and dried fruits and comes
to the conclusion that Holland ex-
ported more than twice the quantity
she needed for the sustanalce of her
own population hence the restrictions
placed upon these imports by the
United States government.
Now comes professor ]. A. Van
Hamel. Dutch writer of notes, who
in support of Mr.. van Aalst's conten-
tons, puts the case this way:
Assuming that The Entente author
ity's figures as regards the exported
feed values are correct, how far would
years Dutch exports go to feed the
120,000,0OO inhabitants of Germany
and Hungary? That he says,
is the way the question ought to be
looked at and the answer is thee and
enc half days.
But the figures, he claims, are not
correct. Professor vanI4amel produces
a detailed schedule, also based on
official statistics, showing that the
aggregate exports Of the articles
named amounted, not to 91S,,355 tons,
but to 59O066 tons or roughly so per
centsloss than was alleged.
HIS conclusion, therefore is, that a
whole years exports from Holland to
Germany are, just sufficient to keep
alive the joint population of Germany
and Austria-Hungary forthree and one
halfdays loss so per cent, or two days,
10 hours and 48 minutes.

MONTAUK. - "Blind Youth" n
drama written by the star, Lou Tel
lcgen, and Willard Mack, is this weeks
bilf.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-27
By Rebccca Druckcr

In the quaint tcrminology Of the
theatre, John Cope, who plays the hard
shcllcd bachelor in "Daddics" with
such genuine and irresistible humor,
is what is known as character" actor.
Now, the actors who portray the subtle
and varied idiosyncrasies Of character
types are not the aristocrats of the
theatre. That distinction is reserved
for the "juveniles," who are probably
so called because Of the perpetual i'm
maturity of their roles. 1t occasionally
happens that a disappointed Juvenile
will turn around and really learn to act
and so become character actor. Such
one was John Cope, and the stage is
thereby the richer.
1t happened in this wise In the early
eighties young John Cope, thirsting for
chance to see life and rebellng
against the bondage of Cope, sr.'s, gro
Gerry business, abruptly threw in his
fortune with a company of dramatic
artists who made the country fairs of
his native Iowa their stopping places
Their offering did not meet with sue
cess and the company disbanded, but
not before Cope had learned that the
profession of an actor was a good me-
dunn through which to see life.
In those days one took ones pay as
an actor largely in the pleasure and
glory derived from association with so
noble a profession, actual cash being
scarce and infrequent. But if pay was
slim, the opportunities for acting were
large. A company went out on the
road prepared to do any play and to
give every one chance. In one barn
storming tour Cope played lis roles
before the company finally broke up at
the end Of the season.
Were you ever stranded" l asked
brcathlessly.
"lf ringed all the cities I ever was
stranded in," said John Cope, "thc map
would look like weather chart"
What does one do when one is
stranded?"
"Why you write home, or you hunt
uP ooiHC ohc you AhOH, VI dS d ldSC re-
sort you find job. But one always
pulls out somehow
Cope was then a juvenile-he played
magnificent, blameless heroes-unsatis-
factorily. Those were the days of So
called "heroic" plays, the plays of the
rounded period and the large gesture
Cope was of good stature and person
able and had plenty of voice with
which to thunder, but he somehow
failed to get his effects. He could not
stalk the stage without feeling foolish
He could not clocute worth a cent
Why, in the youthful days of Friday
New-York tribune., 1918-10-27
John Cope

speaking pieces he had rccitcd only
under compulsion and squirmed against
doing it-obviously he would never be
an actor, his associates told him after
he had had good many seasons Of
very poor success.
"But why not?" Cope one day asked
an old actor who was advising him to
give up the stage.
The old actor thought awhile DWELL,
for one thing you can't mug worth
cent" "Mugging" Mr.. Cope cx-
planned, being the highly exaggerated
facial expression suitable to these
plays.
But Cope knew better than they did
what was the matter. He could act
better he thought if he could put lit
( tie conviction into what he was doing.
Those stiltcd, foolish plays with their
ridiculous heroics just naturally put
his back up. He could not play the
parts with any sincere feeling and the
results showed it. He did not express
this belief because he knew that it
would raise howl of dersion-cspe-
cially since the country abounded with
actors who fourisbed and grew fat on
those parts.
He would have given up acting in his
encouragement if at this time he had
not been cast for character part in
the then brand new farce, "What Hap
pened to JONES'" which was to have its
first appearance in New York. This
was his first character part and his first
New York engagement. He was sue
cess IN the part-and as an actor of
genre parts he found himself. He has
played great many parts in modern
plays since. The very qualities that
initiated against his success in the old
transforming days have been his assets
that he could not mug" and would
not everyday.
Since "What Happened to Jones" he
has played in "Charley's Aunt" "Shcn-
andoah," "Arizona," "Thc Girl of the
Golden West" "The Rose of the
Rancho" "The Woman" "Erstwhile
Susan," Back Home" and a good many
others-all varied roles. The ranchcr
in Arizona" was his favoritc.
Nobody who isn't grandfather
knows how I feel toward the kid in
'Daddies,'" he said. "Now, | am a
grandfather and / know, and this will
illustrate the point | mean My grand
son, aged five, spent last summcr with
US. He was very naughty one day, and
was standing by while his grand
mother demonstrated with him. She
said: Every one will love you if Won
are good, but who do you think will
love you when you are bad?' He gave
me comradely whack on the stomach.
He WILL he said"
