the fronts have been strengthened in an
tcipation of further onslaughts. In
both the British and the French ar
mics the soldiers are waiting patiently,

a good accounting of themselves against
any attacks the Germans may make.
Rumor has it that relations between
Holland and Germany are strained: that
Germany has delivered an ultimatum to
Holland demanding the right to trans
nit civilian supplies and gravel and
other war materials on the Dutch ca
nails and railways. In Holland the feel
ing is said that acquescence would be
equivalent to Hollands abandonment of
neutrality.

effect that the German newspapers are

date by Uruguay and Argentina.

Examination later showed that the
German pilot had a bullet through

whether the bullet came from the
ground OF from British machine.
