PLANS MADE LAST
NIGHT FOR UNITED
WAR WORK DRIVE

"A me meeting of those who will
conduct the campaign for the United
war Workers Fund, which will oc-
cur November II to IS, was held in
lhe Park last night, and plans for
insuring Lakeland's quota in this no
ole war work were discussed. and
'ne machinery for the drive put in
order.
Inc meeting was called by City
Chairman Spencer, and the various
committees that make up his efficient
organization either reported progress
or readiness to move towards tie car
rylng out of their respective duties.
IL was announced that Lakeland's
quota, including number of small
communities and villages nearby
would be $11,SOO, and this is the
amount the local workers take upon
themselves to raise.
A small building modelled after a
Y. M. G. A. hut, has been erected
IN the Park, through the activities Of
the Stunts Committee" composed of
Messrs. Tousey, Scarborough, Merrill
and Lusk, and around this building
the activities of the campaign viii,
center.
This is an original idea, of which
the local workers are very proud. The
hut will be in charge of Mrs. w. l..
King, and the Y. W. G. A. under
Mrs. W. D. Edwards, and the Patri-
otto Girls, under Mrs. G.. NJ. Wright
Will assist in caring for it. Commit
tee meetings will be held there and
contributions received. The Boy Scouts
will have their tents pitched around
the Hut and will guard it between
rundown and sunrise, lowering and
raising the flag with due formalities
at the proper time.
Luncheons will be held from day
to day, at which the workers will
gather and make reports of progress.
Public meetings in the Park will also
be held at which the best speakers
cbtainable will make addresses. be-
sides which there will be some fine
singing and other features. The-moSt
important of these will be the big OPP
ening meeting on the night Of Sat
urday, Nov 9th, when Gypsy Smith.

speaker.
The organization is fine ore, is
working tremendously, and the out
look is very flattering for most sue

GERMAN PRESSURE
 WAS TOO STRONG
Holland Yields to Teutonic Demands for Sand and Gravel to Save Her self from Fate of Belgium
 Interned Germans Escape

London, April 29.-A dispatch to the Daily Mail, from the Hague, says Holland has yielded to Germany's de- mands concerning transport and sup ply of sand and gravel, altho the amount will be limited.
 It is added that a general under standing will be required from Ger many that sand and gravel will not be used for military purposes.
 Rumors are current in the Dutch capital, the dispatch adds, that Dr. John Loudon, minister of foreign af- fairs, will resign. These, it is sad, are based on the supposition that he could not retain office now that his undertaking respecting the gravel question must be revoked.
 In summarizing the situation, the dispatch concludes, it is felt that the crisis with Germany has passed, althc the solution is in no wise an ideal one for Holland
 Relations between Holland and Ger many have been at almost a breaking point for some days owing to German demands that Holland permit the transmission over her canals anC railways of sand and gravel from Germany to Belgium. The ccAtro. versy was a three -cornered one, as Great Britain had warned Holland tC take steps to make certain that the sand and gravel would not be used for military purposes. It had been report. ed that all leaves of absences in the Dutch army and navy had been with drawn, temporarily. German news pers have condemned in harsh terms Hollands hesitancy in meeting Der lin's demands.

May Be a German Plot.

Washington, April 27.-Reports from Copenhagen of persistent rum ors from Finland that Grand Duke Alexis Nikolaivitch, son of the former czar of Russia, has been proclaimed Emperor of Russia, were taken here to indicate that Germany was at tempting to carry thru a well formu- lated plan for restoring Q monarchy in that revolution-torn country.
 While no reports of new revolt in Petrograd have been received at the State Department from Ambassador Francis at Vologda, news of an up- rising would not come as a surprise It long has been believed here that Germany's real purpose was to re- store the monarchy, supported by Ger man influence, money and intrigue.
 Germans Overrun Petrograd
 The removal of the Bolsheviki gov ernment from the capital to Moscow was believed to have paved the way for the carrying out of the German plan. Reports have been received HtTt liat 0StHidH sViutclS AVihicA prisoners in Russia have been over running the capital and have made it a German center.
 In order to meet with any measure of success, attempts to restore the monarchy, it was sad, would have to be made thru an internal upiislng that would have the semblance of Q genuine revolt of the Russian people against existing conditions. Short ages of all necessities, particularly in the larger cities, have caused great dissatisfaction among the Russian people, and for that reason it was felt that revolt, even thought it had for it's purpose the restoring of the monarchy, might have strong support.

FRANCE GIVES CROSSES
