WILL HOLLAND BE NEXT!

Holland has not decided whether il
shall try to retain its prosperous neu-
trality or whether the encroachments
Of the Germans shall be stopped and
war consequently be declared. Ac-
cording to late reports, two of the
German demands have been met by
the little Dutch country and Germany
still maintains her stand on the sand
and gravel question. Such develop
ments would indicate that the Prus-
slams have the smaller country cowed
but the Dutch press is stirring up
people to stand for their nationality
and sovereignty.
For such a small country as Holland
situated as 1t is, next to Germany,
declaration of war would call for
great deal of courage. The example
of Belgium is close at one hand. Peace
with neutrality is on the other Which
shall the country choose?
Germany would have a temporary
advantage over the lowland country.
A half million troops could occupy it
in a short time. Its churches might
soon be in ruins, its towns might be
devastated, its women might be de-
spoiled. Holland is said to have be-
tween two and three hundred thou
sand troops The Germans would try
to overwhelm them with numbers.
But should Holland allow Germany
to dictate what it shall do, the re-
suit would be even worse. Its nation
aIity would be lost, its sovereignty
would change from the people them
selves to the house of HOhenzollern,
its prestige with the world would be !
lost 1t would be a black sheep |
among civilized nations.
At first the entrance of Holland in
to the war might make hardship for
the Allies. Germany might take the |
lowland country and have another /
submarine base. But in the long run |
the Allies would be much ahead. Ger
many would see another country ar
rayed against her, more soldiers would
be added to the Allies, important ship
ping through Holland would be stop
ped and the troops used in taking
Holland would have to come from the
fighting lines.
1t is maintained by some that Hol-
land will never allow its sovereignty
to pass to other hands. Half the coun-
try could be flooded by blowing up the
dikes. Such would be an extreme
measure but it would preserve Hol-'
lands natiOnalism and honor.

War makes a difference; in civil
life American boys often do just the
opposite to what a preacher requests,
but when a chaplain "Over there
asked some soldiers to get a Hun for
him. after getting one for themselves,
he got results. Three southern boys
hunted up the chaplain one day; the
first had three notches on his gun
stock and explained, "One is for me
and two for you" The second boy
had two nOtches, "one for me and one
for you;" and the third said, 81 got
only one but as sure as I'm alive, I'll
get one for you"

TO SAVE THE WHEAT

A resolution adopted by 1000 dele
gates representing 2,500,OO0 club
women. to eat no wheat until after
harvest, is a good example that many
people could follow with little incon-
venience. The Food Administration
will not ration people because the &C
ton would affect the laboring classes
and perhaps reduce their efficiency.
Therefore those who can abstain from
wheat until our supply is replenished,
are rendering the country a good serv-
fee
After all, it is not so much of hard
ship to abstain from eating wheat
since there are so many good substi
tutes which taste almost or quite as
good. Not SO many people, for in
stance, would have known the joy of
eating potato rolls if there had not
been a scarcity of wheat. No whole
wheat roll, no matter how well made,
can eclipse it. And the corn meal
-four! In pancakes, the most veri-
table connoisseur could not be absO-
lutely sure that it was not wheat flour.
So then. we who can eat these substi-
tutes should do so, so that our SOL
diers, and our brothers and sisters
across the seas who have the greatest
hardships to bear, may have ample
food

today.
Otto Lindeman, Martin E. Brown,

the stamp of the dry faction. Miss
Leila Foster was the only candidate
for city clerk.
Only two candidates for trustee of
the City of El CentrO filed petitions
Charles E. Sones and w. A. Reams-

a mere formality.

Possible Should Be Taken From the
Underground Reservoirs.
(By Associated Dress)

Washington, March 14.-California
oil operators denounced before the
Senate committee as "illogical and i'm
practicable" the governments plan to
utilize California and Wyoming re-
serves as huge reservoir in which to
conserve oil for future needs of the
navy. F. B. Henderson, assistant gen
eral manager of the Associated Oil
Company, said:
"The Government is going to try to
conserve in the ground vast amounts
of oil that cannot be conserved The
thing to do is to get the oil above
ground. The necessity for fuel on the
Pacific coast is tremendous. If the
supply of oil which may be obtained
from naval reserves is taken away it
will cause the shortage of oil on the
Pacific coast to increase to $4,000 bar
rels daily. This will affect many in
dustries in California and Arizona"
