those workers in such essential indus

are striking or threatening to strike

the fact that he has left home and
family and business for oversee duty

THE PLIGHT OF HOLLAND.

Holland is starving She is keeping
her ships in port under the fear Of
German reprisal if she sends them out
and is being refused food by the allied
nations while she refuses to put them
TO carrying food to Belgium and other
needy peoples.
Prices in Holland are beyond belief.
Meat costs $50 per pound and other
necessities in proportion. The whole
nation is under the strictest rationing
system. Numbered coupons good on
certain days or at times designated by
publication are the only means Of get
ting foodstuffs. AS all cooking is done
in butter none may be served at any
public eating place without producing
his butter coupon. There are no other
fats in Holland. The very poor have
but one meal a day and are forced 10
make that mostly on potato Feelings.
Potatoes are strictly rationed and
when the ration has been given out no

Profteers m food are plenty. They

the evidences Of wealth and full feed
ing they display. While the very poor
starve the wealthy manage to live
fairly wen by purchasing the meat
coupons Of the poor who are obliged
70 sell them in order to obtain coarse
food sufficient to keep them alive.
Such is the story told by Marcosson Of
conditions IN Holland.
Sooner or later hunger will drive
Holland into war. She is between the
devil Of Germany and the deep sea Of
allied refusal Of food. If she releases

Holland did a brisk brokerage bust
ness with Germany previous to the
embargo on neutral nations supplying
Germany with food. Now she is suf-
fering from the activity of her prof.
iteers who got theirs while the get
ting was good
1t is a pitable state OF affairs but
there seems no relief in sight for Hol-
land unless she dares the anger of
Germany. Then she faces invasion. On
the other hand If she should cast her
lot with Germany she will lose every
one Of her territorial possessions The
allies control the seas and the first
act Of reprisal on their part would be
TO take over Hollands rich island pos
sessions.
Holland exemplifies better than any
other nation the metaphor of the corn
between the upper and neither mill
stones.

Mr.. Tumulty's letter 10 Arthur BriS-

Quoted the financing OF the pus'hase OF
the Times that it was done to fight
restriction OF the liquor traffic. Still
more embarrassing is the hint OF the
custodian Of alien property that the
German propaSandists were willing
and anxious TO subsidize newspapers
and newspaper writers. When Mr..
Turrulty wrote Brisbane congratulate
ing him that the Hearst syndicate had
acquired the Herald Examiner and
that a real democratic paper might be
expected now in Chicago II is only fair
to believe that the president knew
nothing OF Brisbane's sale Of his pen

writer is the owner and editor of the
Washington Times and the editorial

pen is purChasable. His Washington

bane is still editorial writer for the
