EMERSON FELT WARS PINCH
Letter Written by Him Tells Of Bad
Conditions In New York In
the Year 1862.


It is interesting to go back to the
early days of the Civil war in this
city, when Emerson wrote to a friend
of the financial crisis:
''The list of January (1862) has
found me in quite as poor plight as
the rest Of the Americans. Not a
penny from my books since last June.
which usually yield five or six hundred
a year; no dividends from the banks
or from Lidian's Plymouth property.
Then almost all income from lectures
has quite ceased, so that your letter
found me in study how to pay three
or four hundred dollars with fifty.
Meanwhile we are trying to be as IN
consuming as candles under an extip-
guisher, and it's frightful to think how
many rivals we have in distress and tn
economy. But far better that this
grinding should 60 on bad and worse
than we be driven by any Impotence
into hasty peace or any peace re.

London. April PA Reuter- dis
patch from The Hague says: Moth
ing is known in competent quarters
here of the rumored German ultima
tum threatening the occupation OF
Dutch ports unless certain demands
are yielded" The German ultimatum
to Holland is said to demand right OF
transit for civilian and war supplies
on canals and railways.
London, April 24-Battlefield events
are overshadowed by the possibility
that the little kingdom of Holland may
be engulfed in the war, for Hollands
entry into the struggle would upset all
west front strategy.
Holland adjoins the present battle
field. blockades German access to the
sea from the Rhine, the Meuse and
the Scheldt rivers and cuts off direct
railroad communication with Germany
from q large part of the Belgian front.
All communication with Ostend,
Client, Bruges. Brussels and Antwerp
has to be carried on by the way of AK
la-Chapelle. That is why the Pan
Germans have been trying to force
Holland to give up its neutrality and
to open up to German use the network
OF railroads. canals and rivers which
would make the German front in Bel
gium strategically more powerful.
This assault upon the integrity of
Holland has not been popular with the
German people themselves. But it IL
the old story of military necessity"
for the Pan Germans. To them Hol-
lands refusal to permit German travel
to be carried across Holland to the
German front in Belgium and the
Dutch acQuiescence in our ship requi-
sition were the only opportunities for
attempting to force The Hague gov.
ernment to make concessions to Ger
many which would end Hollands neu-
trality.
The people of Holland don't wish
war. But. like the people of Belgium,
they are sensitive Of their honor and
they will fight the moment their neu.
trality is violated, even though they
know that they will suffer the most.
For the first result of Hollands par
ticipation in the war would be to make
Holland a battlefield.
Uruguay and Argentina are expect
ed to declare war against Germany at
an early date, according to Berlin ad-
vices forwarded by the Exchange Tel:
egraph's correspondent at Amsterdam,
The German newspapers have been
notified to prepare the public for this
development, he adds.

before the war as the social register

has been ostracized for some time from
the best allied society, and now it is
entirely superseded by the Almanach

has recently met warm welcome In
France. The German publication, it
appears, has been powerful channel
OF espionage. Officials OF every coun-

'Don't try to sell luxuries to New
Zealand" This is the advice United
States Consul General Winslow gives
American merchants in commerce
report.
No; New Zealand is not pinched for
money. Its wallet is well filed. "There
Is no particular necessity for retrench-
ment," as the consul puts 1t, but the
public is opposed to the purchase Of
luxuries, especially luxuries that have
to be imported, thereby using tonnage
needed to head Off the U-boats.
Trinidad, too, and the whole of the
British West Indies, is abstaining
from use Of imported goods. This has
caused the population to change its
whole menu, for many foodstuffs were
formerly imported. Now the people
eat homegrown plants that only the
animals ate before. They like the
new diet so well they say they will
never again import any staple food
except cornmeal.
