Holland. to Send
Germany $4,000
Tons of Potatoes

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Oficial
announcement from The Hague
that the Netherlands government
has agreed 10 export potatoes from
the new crop in equal quantities to
the belligerent nations, brought the
disclosure Monday of that fact that
the United States government has
information of Hollands intention
TO export $4,000 tons of potatoes to
Germany.
Officials here believe that in ex-
pressing a willingness to export po-
tatoes to each Of the belligerents.
Holland is undertaking 10 disguise
her intention of supplying large
quantities of much needed food TO
Germany alone.
To furnish Germany anything
like $4,000 tons of potatoes, Hol
land. il was said Monday. not only
would be violating an agreement
with Great Britain TO supply that
country and Germany each with
5000 tons OF potatoes yearly. but
also probably would be imperilling
her food agreement with the United
States
Z. 5. May Take Action.
Under that agreement this coun-
try promised the Netherlands gov
eminent grain in large quantities.
and since much of il already has
been shipped, some officials were
OF the opinion that the government,
while naturally disinclined TO de-
prive Holland Of further food sup
plies, might in the face OF public
opinion in this country have 10 take
drastic retaliatory action against
Holland II she insists on allowing
Germany $4,000 tons OF potatoes at
a time when the central powers are
believed TO be experiencing a GOOD
crisis.
Hollands willingness TO give Ger
many this great amount of food oc-
casioned surprise among officials
in view of recent famine in that
country, which was narrowly avert
ed by prompt action Of the Amer
lean government in shipping grain
and other foOdstuffs.

ginning 10 be heard on the war and
Il is speaking out in no uncertain
tones against the man in congress
who is not standing squarely behind
an aggressive military campaign
against the Hun.
The first significant idea OF how
the western people feel ia regard
20 the war reached Washington IN
the news Of the defeat for renomi-
nation Of Frank F. Woods OF the
tenth Iowa district and Charles II.
Dillon OF the first south Dakota
district
Woods defeat is regarded as be-
Ing Of national significance. He is
chairman Of the republican national
congressional campaign committee.
he is power in republican circles
In congress. But he voted against
the declaration OF war against Ger
many and has persistently pursued
a pacifst stand in the face OF the
danger from the Hun.
Loyalty was one Of the principal
issues in the campaign. Woods OPP
ponent attacked his record on the
war. and his votes against many
administration measures calling for
a vigorous prosecution OF the con-
fiict against Germany. Rep. Dillon
was another Of the western con-
gressmen who voted against the
declaration OF war against Germany.
he also has been lukewarm in his
attitude on the war.
Iowa was counted as one Of
those states where the German in
fiuence was strong enough TO re-
elect pacifst mem bers of congress.
The vote in the primaries, however.
indicates that the voters of that
great agricultural state will not
countenance any trimming on the
war issues.
Woods Defeat Creates Panic"
The defeat of Woods created a
panic in the republican ranks in
congress. II plainly indicated TO re-
publicans as well as democrats that
the majority OF the people are
standing squarely behind Pres't Will
son for an aggressive prosecution
Of the war against Germany. There
were 80 republicans and democrats
in the house who voted against the
war resolution. Many of these,
after that vote had been cast. have
