SUMMARY

Associated Press Summary-From the Dutch frontier extending to the river Mouse, a two hundred mile battlefront is aflame as the British, French, American and Belgian forces are crushing the enemy's resistance and are pushing on for further gains. The Allies are advancing everywhere along the line. The Germans are withdrawing their spent forces on the French sectors between the Disc and the Aisne. The British forces under General Haig have eap- tured the strong point at Lequesnoy and are now advancing on Maubeuge. The Americans are fighting their way across the river Mouse to the southwest of the railway center of Montmedy.

HOLLAND TAXES STEPS 10 STOP
 YANKEE ANGER

AMSTERDAM.-Rollanders have been told by their friends in the United States that American opin, ion is undergoing a change adverse to Holland. To combat this Netl.- erlands society is preparing to send a special mission to America in the hope of more firmly oementing the friendship of the two nations.
 Friends of Holland in the United States, according to the Handels- blad, which is regarded as tha 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 "indiffer- ent" to the tremendous issues of the war.
 The paper declares that the con sensus of American opinion is that the Dutch fail to appreciate the purity of Americas motives, that the Hollanders think of nothing but to keep out of the war and enrich themselves and that the loudness of their protests against any incon- veniences they may have suffered as result of Entente war measures is not porportionate 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 reproach, Many persons in Holland," it says. Judge the war and the leading statesmen of the various countries especially America, in a captious, presumptious, even cynical spirit. which is calculated to grieve Ameri- cans sorely. America can justly ex- pect Holland to believe in the good faith of its declaration that it entered the war not from egotistical or selfish purposes, but to free the world from the cancer of militaris- tic imperialism.
 Holland has not done nearly enough to enlighten public opinion in America regarding the true feel ings of the American people. The spirit of the Dutch people is largely and misinterpreted abroad"
