ciuded. here is lacking that power Of in
dependent action which alone can assure
performance.
SYMPATHY FOR HOLLAND.
1T say this not in criticism of the
Dutch government. / profoundly sym
pathize with the difficulty of her position
under the menace Of military power
which has In every way demonstrated us
disdain Of neutral rights. But since
coercion does in fact exist. no alternative
Is left to us but to accomplish, through
the exercise of our indisputable rights as
IL sovereign, that which is SO reasonable
that, in other circumstances, we cov'd be
confident Of accomplishing 1t by agree
ment.
steps are accordingly being taken to
put into our service Dutch shipping lying
within our territorial jurisdiction. This
action which is being taken by govern
ments associated with us. leaves to Hol-
land ample tonnage for her domestic and
colonial trade. We have informed the
Dutch government that her colonial trade
will be facilitated and that she may at
once send ships from Holland to secure
the bread cereals which her people re-
quire. These ships will be freely bunk
cred and will be immune from detention
| on our part. The liner New Amsterdam
| which came within our Jurisdiction under
! an agreement for her return, will OF
course be permitted at once to return to
Holland. Not only so, but she will be au-
| thorized to carry back with her the two
cargoes of foodstuffs which Holland would
| have secured under the temporary char
tering agreement had not Germany pre-
vented. Ample compensation will be paid
to the Dutch owners of the ships which
will be put into our service aand suitable
provision will be made to meet the pos
sibility of ships being lost through enemy
action.
ut is our earnest desire to safeguard
to the fullest extent the interests Of Hol-
land and of her nationals. BY exercising
| in this crisis our admitted right to control
all property within our territory, we do
no wrong to Holland. The manner In
which we proposed to exercise this right
and our proposals made to Holland con-
currently Herewith cannot I believe, fail ia
evidence to Holland the sincerity of our
friendship toward her.

CANDLE USEFUL
 IN THE TRENCH

Lieutenant T. L. o. Williams ha. come home, glad that he went, but with both legs gone, charge oi shrapnel in one arm, and the jagged scar of bayonet thrust cleal through his right forearm. He en- listed as private and was min, months in the trenches. "Soeks, cigarettes and candles" are to his mind the three things most impor- tant to the boys in the trenches "Send them hand-knit socks. They never have enough. Send them ciga rettes. and send them candles. Nc candles are furnished, and they pro vide more luxury than people at home would imagine possible. The men break them into pieces abou
 two inches long and wrap them in pieces of sand-bags. Then they get a round piece of tin, perforate it,
 tick the candles in the holes, and heat their tea. It Is surprising how much heat those little pieces of can dle will give. They send a warm low through the trench, and ont of these little scraps of candle will boil pint of r."-Exchange
