HOLLAND MUST DECIDE
ONE WAY OR OTHER
Cannot Continue to Be Inundated By
Germany If She Wants Food
from United States.

Washington, Sept, Hollands ap-
peal for American supplies to meet her
food shortage, while 100000 tons of
Dutch shipping continue to lie idle in
European ports, is the subject of an off.
cial statement issued by the state de.
psrtment yesterday expressing the hope
that the Netherlands government would
follow the example Of other neutrals and
open the way for general resumption of
trade by lifting the embargo upon the
movement of her ships.
In effect, the department gives notice
that so long as Holland permits herself
to be intimidated by German threats TO
destroy even ships plying between neu.
trail ports, there can be no arrangement
for American foodstuffs similar to those
entered into by the United States with
Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark
and Spain.
The statement discloses that the Meth
erlauds government never has availed il.
self OF the offer of the United States and
the allies to put 100000 tons of bread
cereals at the disposal of the Dutch peo-
pie Internationally, after the government
had failed TO approve a tentative general
agreement reached at London last winter.

A NEGLECTED. COAL FIELD
Is Being Investigated Because of In
creased Demand.

The recent increased demand for 80
called smokeless coal has led to new in
vestigations for such coal in fields along
the eastern margin of the great Appa.
lachian coal field, and particularly in the
regions nearest tidewater. One of these.
known as the Abram creek Stony river
coal field, in Grant, Mineral and Tucker
counties, w. Va, has recently been ex.
amined by biologists of the United

The field examined includes the south
eastern prong OF the southern extension
Of the famous Georges creek field of
Maryland. The southwestern prong ex-
tends up the north fork of Potomac river

TURNED CEMETERY
INTO FORTIFICATTON
Germans Had Counted on the Disinclina-

Rush Was Too Fast
for Them.

In a cemetery near Limey, just within

Of Sept. u, American troops have dis.

The cemetery is on a hill commanding
a view of the country to the south, and
the Germans assumed that if an attack
was made the cemetery would not be
subjected TO artillery fire
When the Franco American offensive
started the Germans held the machine
gun nests in the cemetery as long as
possible, but were compelled to retreat
in haste before they could use the guns.
So hurried was the enemy retirement
that several machine guns were found in
the cemetery by the Americans. The
cemetery was not hit by shells and the

Dry Cleaning Ways.

Sarah ]. Mcleod in the September
Housewife has a timely article on DRY
Cleaning Ways" that is very helpful
She suggests that when cleaning dress
with gasolene any soiled spots be marked
with thread of a contrasting color, as
il is difficult to locate the spots when
the article is wet. After the garment
ia clean, it should be rinsed in new gaso-
lene and then hung outdoors to dry.
When cleaning gloves with gasolene,
the best way is TO place them in glass
jar, cover tightly and shake occasionally.
Rinse in clean gasolene and hang out to
dry. This keeps the hands entirely out
of the fluid.
Warm French chalk will clean fine
laces better than anything else. Scatter
the chalk on them, roll up and let stand
at least "a hours. Then unroll, shake
out and repeat the process if necessary.
Gold and silver lace may be cleaned
by washing in gasolene or alcohol
As to feathers, the safest procedure
for the amateur is TO make a good suds
of lukewarm water and white soda, place
the tip of the feather in the water and
wash it by drawing it through the hand
until clean, and then rinsing IT, Dry il
by shaking it thoroughly and stroking it
occasionally. When dry, hold it over
steam for a few minutes and then shake
it over the top of stove,
Velvets may be cleaned by covering
with warm French chalk and allowing
them to stand for "a hours, then shaking
it out and brushing the chalk off the vel
vet vigorously,
Gloss cannot be permanently removed
from wooden materials, such as serge,
but it can be taken off temporarily by
sponging with ammonia water, then GOV.
ering with a heavy cotton cloth and
pressing dry with warm iron.
Fnller's earth and French chalk are
about equally liked as cleaners of light
furs Both must be warmed, however,
to be effectual, After the powder has
been sprinkled over the fur, roll it up and
allow it to stand for "a hours. Then
open it up and rub briskly. If the fur
is not entirely clean, repeat the process
as many times as necessary, always re-

mometer and see that the temperature
10 kept at 100 degrees Fahrenheit for 30
minutes, after which time the curd may
be strained from the whey through a
cheese cloth bag. After five or ten min
utes the curd may be worked toward
the center with a spoon. Raising and
lowering the ends of the bag helps the
whey to drain faster. To complete the
draining tie the ends Of the bag together
and hang it up. Since there is some dan
ger that the curd will become too dry,
draining should stop when the whey
ceases to flow in a steady stream. The
eurd is then emptied from the bag and
worked with a spoon or butter paddle
until it becomes fine in grain, smooth and
of the consistency of mashed potatoes.
Sour or sweet cream may be added to in
crease the smoothness and to improve
the favor. Then the cheese is sailed to
taste, about one teaspoonful to pound

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 25.-(By Mail)
Gruner, of the German
aerial service has written an account
OF a visit which he claims to have
made recently to London. His story,
which is printed in the Berlin news
papers, follows:
The English coast must come into
sight soon. Sure enough, there it is in
sharp outline. Soon we shall be near
enough to realize where we are. Slow
ly. quite slowly. we approach it. All
is peace and quiet. Now the coast lies
perpendicularly beneath us. We are
nearing the goal of our hearts desire.
The English are waiting for US, but we
are not disturbed. On we go. Now
and then search light picks us up.
Now and then shot flares out at
us. But Notwithstanding these little
hindrances, We press on toward our
goal. There it is, London, A brilliant
wreath of searchlights sets off the
prize from afar.
Il consult my map and compass, and
the order is given: Cross London
from north to south and then veer to
eastward Beneath us We can see
and hear that our presence is detected.
Lights burst forth and go out. the ,muz-
zle-flashes of anti-aircraft guns.
Searchlights stab the sky, first, slowly,

times. thev locate nothing but a drift

straight at our ship and envelops us.

BR|TAIN'S DRINK
BILL is REDUCED
BY TW0-THIROS

LONDON. March 15--Consumption
of intoxicating liquors in Great Britain
owing to the reductions instituted by
the government is now only one-third
of what it was four years ago. Premier
Lloyd George declared in an address
to the Free Churchmen at the City
Temple today when challenged about
the drink traffic. No spirits were be
ing manufa ctured at all, he said, and
dicted such thing would not have
been believed
The premier reiterated that if it
came to a question of choosing be-
tween mread and beer the government
would not hesitate moment
The present, he added, was an hour
of grave national emergency, the ap
peal of war was greater than patriot
ism because it was an appeal for help
against the forces of brutality and a
cry Of conscience against the greed
and lust of one power. The function of
the churches was to keep the nation
up to the level of its high purpose
when entering the war. No nation had
ever entered war with a more holy
purpose, The churches must keep the
war to the end a holy war: anythina
else would disgrace the memory OF
the heroic dead.
Instead of having hunger at one END
and surfeit at the other. said the
premier, there was . fair distribution
among all classes and ranks.

GUST MILWAUKEE,
MAYOR FROM WAR
DEFENSE COUNCIL
His Campaign Platform OBJ
jectionable- Four Others
Are Dropped.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 10
Mayor Daniel w. Hoan was removed
as chairman of the county council of
defense this afteTnon by a vote of 16
to 3. Only the Socialist members
voted to retain him, including the
mayor himself The mayors removal
from the Craftsmanship is the result OF
his failure to answer a questionnaire
with regard to matters affecting the
war in connection with his platform as
the Socialist candidate for reelection
to office.
Following the removal of Mayor
Hoan, four other Socialists, members
of the defense council, We're voted out
of that body by practically the same
vote.
Platform Objectionable
The platform which the members of
the county council of defense object
to and for which Mayor Hoan stands,
contains a plank which reads as fol-
lows: The American people did not
want and do not want this war. They
were plunged into the abyss by the
treachery of the ruling class of the
country-its demagogic agitatorS, its
bought press. its sensational photo
plays, it's lying advertisements, and
other purchasable instruments of pub
lie expression
The action of the committee was
fOrecasted when, at the very opening
of the session, on an appeal vote from
the chair. it oVerruled Mayor Hoan's
decision that it had no power to act,
Wheeler P. Bloodgood, vice chairman
of the committee, moved to appeal
from the ruling of the chair, and was
sustained by a vote of 16 to 4, the
four being the Socialist members OF
the defense council.
Power is Questioned
The mayor maintained that the COM
mittee had no power to remove him,
and that to do so would be a high
handed usurption of authority Fred
erick Morehouse and Mr.. Bloodgood
differed with him. declaring that the
constitution specifically provides that
the executive committee has the power
to remove members when it deems
such acts necessary.
The charge against the mayor was
read by the secretary of the defense
council. 1t charged that he cannot
continue as head of the council be-
cause he is candidate for reelection
on a platform opposed to the war.
