HOLLAND WON OUT.

The Dutch foreign minister has an
nounccd to the chamber OF deputies
that the tension between Holland and
Germany is over Moreover. it appears

The demand for permission to transport
war material through Holland was with
drawn and Germany promised that the
transportation of sand and gravel should
be limited To supplies Of this material
that would not be uscd for military
purposes The Allies can raise no OBJ
lection to this provided Germany keeps
her word Germany probably will not
keep her word, however, but even 50,

not to look too sharply for evidence Of
violation.
This bacl<-down by Germany IN her
demands on Holland evidently is
direct consequence Of the failure Of the
German drive on the Lys Conditions

does not care to force a quarrel with

German Brutality.

The most amazing feature of the great
war that is now CONFUSING the entire
world is the extent of German brutality.
From the first move in this direction 10y
Germany-thc outrage of the rights Of
little Luxembourg and Of Belgium, IN
order To make n short route for her armies
into French territory Germany has dis
played spirit of brutality and wrong
doing that hardly has parallel in all tho
history of the world And more than that,
she seems to glory in her shame.
The story of German brutality is known
TO all. The cruel outragcs inflicted upon
the people of Belgium; the ruthless T-hont
campaign: the scnsclcSs destruction of
property wherever German ARMIES march
cd, either in advance or retreat. make a
story of brutal outrage that will ever be n
disgrace To that country. And the in
famous manner in which German official
dom admits and boasts of this brutality
is almost he-und belief.
In public statement recently issued in
Spain, the German government freely
acknowledges it's acts of brutality. The
cruel treatment of British prisoners Is nd
mittcd and prctencc made of Justification
And in respect of 1ootirE and robbery, the
statement is rcfrcshingly frank Here Is

THE LOSS
Germany Expected to Lose
Alsace Lorraine Says
Noted Writer
ECONOMIC TIES EXPECTED
ECONOMIC TIES EXPECTED

New York, Dec. 26.-Prominent
among the articles printed in the
German press shortly before the
practical surrender Of Gerbany to
the Allies and the United States on
Nov. IL, with the evident intention
of trying to reconcile the German
public to the impending loss Of Al
sace-Lorraine, was one appearing
in the Berliner Tageblatt on Oct.
10, and written by Dr.. Felix Pinner,
leading financial writer for that
powerful organ of moderate German
business interests.
Although DR.. Pinner admits at
considerable length that German in
dustry would be hard hit by the loss
of control over the oil, potash and
ore resources of the 'lost provinc-
es," he tries to cheer up his read
ers by asserting that French bust
ness men are not enterprising en-
ough to exploit these resources as
effectively as the Germans have, and
he hopes that the application of
President Wilson's peace principles
will result in Germanys retaining
at least economic control over the
territory which it is about to lose
politically.
The writer begins by remarking
that the acceptance of the Wilson
ian points by the German Govern
ment" has made the Alsace-Lor-
raine problem international, and
then, as summarized in a recent is
sue of Commerce Reports, he sug-
gests that it might be worth exam
fAing the economic value of that
territory to Germany He points
out that Alsace-Lorraine is not only
one of the most highly developed
manufacturing parts of the Empire,

as several thousand refugees who
were forced from that section into

A RECEPTION PLANNED

London, Dec. 26.-The visit OF
President Wilson is an event of the
greatest interest and Importance to
us in London, and he may be GER
tain Of the warmest and most cor
dial of welcomes, not only on ac-
count of his commanding position as
head of the American people, but by
reason of that winning personality
of his of which every one is talking.
We want to tell him the debt of
gratitude we owe to America for
expediting the victory of the Allies
and to thank him for those lucid
and insistent explanations of the
terms of victory and peace which
have won the Warmest assent OF
those who have been Igaged III the
conflict of right against might
which has now been brought tu a
triumphant conclusion.
We desire, too to express through
him our deep gratitude to all his
compatriots, official and otherwise,
who have assuaged the lot of our
prisoners of war and alleviated the
sufferings of our fighting men and
those civilian victims on whom the
wrath Of the enemy fell with most
malignant and persistent harshness.
For all these, and many other
reasons too numerous to mention,
the President, both officially and
personally, will be greed with af-
fectionate enthusiasm, and we look
forward to his visit (alas! all too
short with the greatest and most
pleasant anticipations.
