In less hazardous lines the increase
is not SO great, but there is an up

Employer and employe must hear
in mind that every worker incapaci-

Dor is now al premium. Not L
single able bodied man or woman can
be spared from productive work As
consequence something must be
done to reduce the present increasing

KUEHLMANN WILL FALL.
Foreign Minister Deceived Public on
# Turco- Bulgar Crisis. !

So acute has the. Balkan situation
become that the fall of the German
foreip, minister, Won Kuehlmann. is
freely predicted in the German press.
Conflict between Turkey and Rumania
as well as between Turkey and Bull
earfa is reported. Rumania and
Ukraine are also at odds. Won Keuhl-
mann, it is charged, deceived not only
the general public but his official su-
periors with assurances that all would
be well in the Balkans.
"Von Keuhlmann must get out as
soon rs the negotiations at Bucharest
have come to an end" says the Rhen-
ish and Westphalian Gazette. The
paper odds that in sending for Helffer
ich to hely him out in the Balkans
Won Kuehlmann confessed his inepti-
tude fer handling the far greater and
more important negotiations which
must one day be taken up on the
West.
"At Bucharest" the paper con-
cludes, "everything must be begun
over again"
The Berliner Boersner Zeitung, US
ually wise in political affairs, goes so
far as to declare that Kuehlmann is
already out and that he will be sue
cecded by either Helfferich or Admiral
Won Hintze, present German minister
to Norway.
Us Won Kuehlmann's announced
the usual official pre-
lude to his dismissai?" the paper
asks.

GERMANS ALARM HOLLAND.
Gravel Dispute Strains Relations
Hint OF T1tfmatum.

London, April 23.-The Daily News
says that the foreign Office has learn
eli that Che relations between Holland
and Germany are very strained. The
chief cause of the quarrel apparently
is an old dispute about the supply %
gravel from Holland to Germany. The
situation is regarded with anxiety in
Official and diplomatic circles.
1t is rumcred that something in the
nature Of an ultimatun has been de-
liveTed tc Holland by Germany.
Amsterdam, April 23.-The Dutch
press expresses anxiety regarding
Germany's intention toward Holland.
The Handelsblad considers that Ger
many's policy VIII be determined pure
ly by what promises to pay best and
believes that Germany would not hest
tate to use communication through
Holland, even at the risk of war, if
she believed victory could thus be
achieved On the western front.
The Handelsblad regrets that, as
far as known, the entente powers have
begun nothing in the direction Of ia
cilitating sthe movement Of provisions
and war material to help make The
Dutch army strong enough ii it should
be menaced by an invasion, and COM
plains generally about the British pol
icy toward Holland.
Commenting On a Rotterdam dis
patch to the London Telegraph Sun
day, which was cabled here, the Han
delsblad says that it is rumored Ger
many has attempted TO secure con-
cessions from Holland concerning the
transit of sand and gravel and trans-
pcrtation by rail through Limbourg
of various necessities not intended for
military purposes.
Relative to a settlement regarding
traffic on the Rhine, the Handelsblad
learns that an agreement has been
reached.
