As the result of the third Liberty loan
many millions of Americans feel sort
of proprietary interest in the United
States which they never had before,
They always had a more or less indirect
interest in their country with its center
at Washington, but, having invested
their money in that government, they
have come to have sense of part own
ership A little of the material cement
is going to bind good many Of these
Americans more closely to their govern
ment and to their nation.

WASH lNGTON, ID. e., May 1.
Little Holland, surrounded on
all sides by territories swarming
with German soldiers, may pre-
serve her neutrality, but IL she
does 1t will be in spite of Ger
man spies who simply crowd
every Dutch city and in spite OF
a highly organized pro-German
press.
What the German machine did
and tried to do in America is as
nothing to what is being done In
the Dutch kingdom.
German propaganda has had
tremendous weapons right to
hand. The fear of the fate of
Belgium has been dangled be-
fore Dutch eyes. The dependence
of Holland upon German coal has
been emphasized. And lately
Americas seizure of Dutch ships
has been harped on.
Expect War Eventually.
Among Dutch papers there has
been evidenced a feeling that 1t
will be impossible for Holland to
keep out of the war in the long
run.
The moot questions were how
long neutrality would be pre-
served and on what side Holland
would come in.
In the main the liberal press
has demanded a firmer and
prouder attitude, while the con-
sentative papers insisted that
neutrality be preserved at all
costs, and also carried propa-
ganda against the allies, show
ing they feared Holland favored
our side.
These same papers are bitter
against the United States and
have tendency to adopt the Ger
man formula of "the war of
England and America against
Europe"

Handelsblad in its Berlin cor

interview with Baron Won dem

Germans think Hollands neutral

coloring.
He comments that Holland
looks to Germany for coal and
that Americas seizure OF Dutch

Then he says slyly:
America appears, however, so
far as she pays any attention to
the vital interests of Holland. to
build on Germany's not allowing
the related race to starve and

Therein certainly lies a cor
