CABINET DISCUSSES
 DUTCH-RUN CRISIS
Relations Between Holland and Germany Reported
 to Be Strained

The Hague April 23.-The Dutch cabinet met yesterday in extraordinary session.
 The Vaderland says an agreem ent has been reached regarding one point which has caused friction between Holland and Germany but the old dispute concerning transport of sand and gravel to Germany continues to be a stumbling block Germany de- sires to resume the practice of ship ping gravel through Holland but the Dutch government offers objections on the ground that new circumstances have arisen.
 The British foreign office, according to the London Daily News, has learned that the relations between Holland and Germany are very strained. The dispute about the supply of gravel from Holland to Germany was said to be the cause. Official and diplO- matic circles in London were reported to look on the situation with un- eaSiness RumOrS were that some thing in the nature of an ultimatum had been delivered to Holland by Ger many.

All local records were broken at the Landers, Frary X Clark fac tory yesterday in the Liberty Loan drivo when subscriptions of $137,O00 were secured from factory employees in one afternoon by members of the Universal War Relief Asso ciation and the Universal Club who condQcted the campaign under the direction Of Vice President r. A. Searle and Auditor F.. r. Hall.
 Ii is felt this remarkable response was due to the intense spirit of pa triotism that permeates not only these two factory war relief societies but the entire factory organization, the seeds of which were soWn by the appeal made at a mass meeting dur ing the last drive by Charles F. Smith, chairman of the board of directors, and which has consistently been fostered since that time by all of the factory officials, superintend- ents and foremen.
 The mark set by the organization is a $150,O00 subscription from the employees alone, or an average of one bond per man, entirely irrespective of the subscription which will be made by the company as a corporation. It is expected that Landers will go lover the top. with a flourish the last of the week at the Liberty Loan Rally to be held in the yard of the main works, at which time MT. Smith will again address all the employees of all the factories. A. $. Andrule- wicz, principal of the Sacred Heart school. has also been invited to make a Liberty Loan speech in Polish. The American Band will furnish music. Immediately after the exercises an effort will be made to bring every department onto the Honor Roll and entitled to a flag which will be Of fered to each department, every member of which has bought at least one Third Liberty Loan bond. The present indications are that very few departments in any of the Landers, F'rary t5 Clark factories will be with out a flag after the campaign IS over

 The canvass for Liberty Loan sub scriptions to help the United States government to maintain it's honor and standing as a civilized people among the nations of the world, has met with a generous response by the en- ployees of the Stanley Rule and Level Co. The average subscription to date, of all departments canvassed, is S45.25. with a total subscription of S4O.5OO Of the ten highest depart ments the standing of the list ls,-
