AMERICA And GREAT BRITAIN
DEMAND DUTCH SHIPPING

WASHINGTON, March il.-Tho United
States ard Great Britain have notified
the Netherlands government that Dutch
ships In American and Entente ports
will be taken over unless the agreement
regarding tonnage is reached by next
Monday, March IS.
Such action by the Allies involves
nothing new ir international Jaw, it Is
officially stated. but IL is the exercise
OF a recognized right which has beeL
exercised by the German States in the
Franco-Prusian war and repeatedly dur
ing the present war.
The United states already has taken
over ships building in American ports
for ncutrals and allied owners.
The United States and It's Allies. it
Is said, have been influenced % take
this step by the German submarine
menace which has prevented the put
tins into effect Of the voluntary agree
ment with Holland. This agreement
provided for tho passage Of ships from
the Netherlands 30 replace Holland
ships sailing from this side. but the
German threat 20 torpedo any Dutch
ships starting for this side OF the At
lantic has held up the agreement. The
proposal for a general agreement has
laid in London for two months with
out action because Of the German
threat 10 close up the narrow open
route TO Holland by submarines II any
agreement Is concluded.
No resentment towards the Neither
lands is felt by the United States and
her Allies and this Is expected 20 be
fully explained by President Wilson in
a conference at the White House with
the Dutch minister. 70 is realized that
the Netherlands is acting under German
lnrnss
Evening journal., 1918-03-14

The United states ls left no choice,
however. but TO put the agreement into
effect by her own action. in which she
goes no further. in the use Of such
shipping than the Hollanders themselves
were willing 90 go.
In return for the necessity OF taking
over the Dutch ships, the United states
and Great Britain have granted conces-
sions to Holland freely With regard TO
the food supply and the return or the
ships T. ken over at the end Of the war.
Holland has been notified that a large
supply Of food has been placed at the
disposal here and that it can send its
ships to carry This food to Holland free
from any restriction or requisition. II
Holland Is unable TO send ships to carry
the food because Of German action The
blame must be with Germany.
Dutch ship owners viii be compen-
satcd for any loss Of ships and the
ships will ther be returned at the
end Of the war OF replaced If lost
through submarines or mines.
As evidence OF the intention 60 take
care OF The Dutch food supply two
cargoes OF food have been authorized
by the war trade board TO be shipped
in the Nieuweamsterdam, which Will
sair shortly for Holland.
Dutch shipping 20 the East Indian
Colonies will be facilitated In every way
by the United states and Great Britain
so that Holland may be relieved from
any fear as to the future OF its colonies
and their trade during the war. This
step by the two governments is re-
gafdcd as inevitable II neutral nations
are to be fed and Il is pointed out that
while it is de ermined 20 take over as
much Dutch tonnage as warranted by
their proposals sufficient tonnage Is left
free for Hollands needs.

WAR GARDENS WERE SUCCESS
Home Vegetable Patches Yielded $780,
100000 and Expected to Do Better
Next Summer.

What about the war gardens of
1917? Did they amount to anything?
Did they yield any profits? Will
there be war gardens in 1918?
The national emergency food gar
den commission declares the war
gardens were success, and gives the
greatest encouragement for next
years war gardens.
In 1917 there were nearly 3,000,-
600 gardens, aggregating 1,15O,OOO
acres of city and town land under
cultivation. As these gardens we're
titled intensively, the products had
relatively high value, being figured
in terms of retail prices which would
have otherwise been paid for food
purchased elsewhere, it is estimated
that their yield was valued at $780,
100000, or $3.50 per family.
The glass jar manufacturers sold
about 100000 canning jars and
a survey of the household canning
in 20 typical towns throughout the
country showed that housewives used
but one new jar to over three and
one quarter old jars already on
hand.
On this basis the housewives of the
country put up nearly 5oo,ooo,Oo0
quart jars of vegetables and fruits,
which is believed to be three times as
much as was ever packed before.

SUPPLIES FROM ARCTIC ZONE
Eskimo SIaughters and Allows 70
Waste Many Valuable Animals,
Declares an Explorer.

1t appears that the Eskimo is just
as consistent and conscientious in
killing animals as his civilized broth
er of warmer climes is in killing
men, observes the Detroit News.
He kills, therefore, in the course
of the year, many more animals
than he has any use for, but as he
has no idea of an export market, he
merely throws the carcasses out to
the wolves, or let's them sink in the
sea.
"The actual amount of meat, fish,
fat, oil and leather that could be
brought in by the Eskimos is enor-
NOUS" says Christian Leden, who
has been an Arctic explorer for many
years. "By utilizing only the seven
tribes I visited in my last exploring
expedition, we could have 100000
pounds of caribou meat, 100000
pounds of caribou fat, 100000
pounds of walrus meat, 100000
pounds Of baluga or white whale
meat, 100000 pounds of salmon,
13,SOO,OOO pounds of oil from wal
rus, seal and bulaga, 100000
pounds of walrus leather, 100000
pounds of whale leather, 100000
pounds of sealskins and 10000
pounds of walrus and narwhal
ivory"
This is obviously no mean addition
to the failing supplies of the tenn
perate zone.

eln Order That They VIII Not Over
lap New Crop.
Columbia.-South Carolina can help
very materially now in the conserva-
ton of wheat by using Irish potatoes.
The produce people report to the food
administration at Columbia that there
are unusual quantities of excellent
Irish potatoes on hand in this state
for immediate use.
Il is important that these Irish pota.
foes be used so that they will not over
Ian into the new crop, and because
thew are the best available substitute
for wheat.
Potatoes are universally liked. The
food administration has been assured
that Irish potatoes can be bought at
very reasonable prices from all local
markets, and if they cannot be had the
food administrator at Columbia would
be please dto be advised so that any
deficient market can be supplied.
Potatoes are an acceptable substi'
tute for bread. A pound Of baked
potatoes is equal in nutritive value to
seven ounces Of bread. Use the per
sshable potato as wheat and as q
bread Substitute. In the present 1000
crisis all cereals are precious; the9
will keep and the potatoes won't.
