HOLLAND SCORED OVER BELGIUM.
In Diplomatic Tourney Over the Glasses
of 1889 Treaties.

Paris, July IL Correspondence of the
Associated Press Holland has scored
in the first heat of the diplomatic tour
ney with her neighbor Belgium over the
clauses of the treaties of 1899. which
have aroused good deal of feeling on
both sides Of the Belgo- Dutch border.
1t was these so years old treaties that
gave Holland the Limburg peninsula"
the elongated strip of land popularity
known as the Dutch appendix" by
crossing which, the Germans in their re-
treat last fall saved themselves a detour
of some 40 miles and possible capture by
the allied armies.
The Belgians dug up ancient records
showing that several towns and villages
situated in Dutch Limburg had, in the
thirties of last century, petitioned the
first king of the Belgians to be Joined
to his new kingdom. Although the Dutch
Limburgers of the present day are said
to have no such desires, an influential
section of Belgian politicians elamored
for the annexation of Limburg to Bel
GUM.
Also, to safeguard the future position
of Antwerp the Belgian annexationists
claimed the territory known as Dutch
Flanders, situated on the southern bank
of the Schaldt estuary, which the treat
les named had also given to Holland.
These territorial claims aroused a storm
of patriotic indignation in Holland
Queen Wilhelmina visited the disputed
parts of her dominions, and there was
a good deal of flag waving and shout
ing about dying in the last ditch" be-
fore giving up national territory. The
situation was becoming unpleasant Cool
headed elements in Holland realized that
an estrangement from the Belgian sister
nation would be fraught with disastrous
consequences. When conference was
called by the great powers to reconsider
the treaties of 1880, a delegation of emf
nent Dutch jurists came to Paris with
the firm resolve to avoid anything in the
nature of breach with Belgium.
On the cession of territory, however,
their instructions were definite and the
Dutch standpoint has been upheld by the
five great powers.
It was agreed to institute commits
sion of seven powers, including Belgium
and Holland. This commission is to ex-
anime the proposed revision of the treat
les of 1899 and submit proposals sim
plicating neither transfer of sovereign
ty nor the creation of international serv-
itudes." The commission will invite Bel
GUM and Holland to submit Joint for
mulas" in the matter of waterways, the
general principles of the peace conference
to be applied as bases for the same
The bellicose feeling on both sides now
has almost died down.

Disabled Soldiers Run the Gamut of 0c-
equations.

Washington, d. c., June % Every
man to his own taste.
You don't know how many occupations
there are open to disabled and handi-
capped men until you see the list of
those which have been chosen by the dis
abled soldiers who are training with the
federal board for vocational education
If the disabled soldiers choice is in
dicative of the trend there is no need to
worry about getting men back to the
land They choose the land by hundreds,
and agriculture leads in the courses they
ask for. But they don't all want to
farm Here is one taking a course in
horology, another in sculpture, and an
other in chemistry. 1t may be the in
fiuence of the motor corps, but auto me-
chanics is mighty popular, and the over
seas trip has opened the eyes of some to
the opportunities in foreign trade.
With such steady application and en-
thusiasm as these men in training are
showing, old timers in the professions
they enter must look to their laurels.
The main offices of the board are at
200 New Jersey avenue, Washington, ID.
c., but disabled men can usually be
placed in training in their own home
town, or near enough to enable them to
see the home folks once in a while.

HAS
PLENTY OF MONEY
He Had Many Deposits in Holland Be-
fore the War Began and There
Were Many Additions While
the Hostilties Were
in Progress.

Amerongen, July Correspondence of
the Associated Press The former Ger
man emperor has been discussing his
financial problems for more than week
with Dr. J. Kriege, who has been in
charge Of the imperial estates and funds
in Germany since the Hohenzolern abdi-
cation.
DR.. Kriege, one of the former German
functionaries of the German foreign or
flee, has been here in conference with
Herr Hohenzollern when the latter was
not engaged in wood saving. The mar
shall Of the German emperors court, Won
Gontard, also participated in the dis
cussions.
The former emperor is not short of
money, as he possessed considerable
amount on deposit in Holland before war
began. This was added TO appreeiably
while hostilities were in progress. During
the few stirring weeks preceding his
adbdication, William and his followers
transferred further large sums in ready
cash.
But William is troubled as to the
fate Of his real estate. He possessed no
fewer than 55 castles, hunting boxes and
country seats, scattered over the EN-
pire. The revenues of these properties
are for the present at least in the hands
Of the new government, which hitherto
has paid from their proceeds all Herr
Hohenzollern's bills, forwarded to Ber-
lin for settlement. These accounts have
been quite formidable as the imperial
refuge is called upon to pay for every
thing he consumes, as well as for his ac-
commodation and the upkeep of his suite,
besides paying the wages Of the garden.
ers and domesties of the Bentinek es-
tate who render him services while wood
cutting or in the household
The expenses of the Dutch guard of
gendarmes on duty around the castle
also fall on the Hohenzollern purse.
The German governments intentions
concerning the former emperors private
fortune cannot be CLEANED here. Ger
mans recently from the fatherland de-
clare there is a great deal of purely per-
sonal sympathy for William among all
classes and that it is likely he will re-
ceive large portion OF the value Of
what he owned. They say it is probable
that most of the castles and country
houses will be sold and the cash results
paid to Williams account, but number
of them may be retained as government
property to be used for the purpose of
local government headquarters This
they consider an equitable arrangement
which will not deprive the monarch
Of his rights as private citizen as. they
believe, would be the case ii his property
was confiscated

MILITARY CONTROLS FLORENCE
Ancient Motto of the Romans Is Being
Applied.

Rome, Sunday, July 6.-"Salus publica
suprema lex" 1.-THE public welfare is the
supreme law, the ancient motto of the
Romans, is being applied by the Italian
government at this critical moment of
the national life of Italy.
"The government closed one eve, in
deed, in some cases both, for so long
that the people took the law in their own
hands" said leading Italian statesman
to-day. "They were aiming at giving a
harsh, but deserved, lesson to profteers.
it was right that the people should pun
ish those which made millions through
the suffering of the entire population,
which for over four years strained every
nerve in the face of the greatest struggle
of its history. With pitiless energy,
however, as pitiless as its leniency here
tofore, the government now intends to
repress any attempt to transform a just
protest into something more serious"
Florence has been occupied by military
forces and the machine guns of the
troops were not taken there merely for
show. This thing has happened at other
most rebellious centers, especially at
Aconda and Bruzzia, where many per-
sons were wounded.
In Genoa, where the uprising against
the cost of living took most orderly
form, the people imposed a reduction in
all prices, watched the carrying out of
this order and prevented any violence
against shopkeepers. They interviewed
whenever attempts were made to ran
sack shops, putting down the disorderly
elements with much greater energy than
the police ever used. At Milan the peo-
pie have presented an ultimatum de-
manding that the prices of all necessities
be materially reduced by Tuesday.
A mob ransacked nearly all the shoe
shops at Palermo, the troops being called
out too late to prevent pillaging When
they appeared they were received with
applause, the crowd shouting to the SOL
diers: mo firing, boys, we aren't at the
front. Here we are all brothers and all
are against the vampires who have
starved us"
Count Olgiati, project of Florence, has
been removed from Office. He was trans
ferred TO that city from Milan during
the war after he had been unable to pre-
vent general strike in Milan.

WANT RESTRICTIONS REMOVED
On Importation of American Motor Cas-
Into Great Britain.

London, July THE automobile see
ton of the American Chamber of Com
merce in London has made representa-
lions to the British Board of Trade with
The view to having the import restric-
tions on, American motor cars further
relaxed if not entirely removed. At
present the importation of motor We
heles and parts thereof is limited to 30
per cent of the 1913 imports up to Sept.
}, 1919, in proportionate monthly guam
titles.
Sir Auckland Geddes, president of the
Board of Trade, informed the automobile
importers that no increase in imports
could be allowed at present owing to the
necessity of guarding the future of ster-
ling exchange in America.
Sir Auckland said that the Board of
Trade could not consider any one trade
or industry by itself, but must look at
everything with view to the best in
terests of the nation. From this point
OF view the matter of maintaining Great
Britain's financial position and therefore
the position of her exchanges was the
essential consideration.
The American Chamber of Commerce
here announces, however, that the gov
ernment has promised to review the en-.
tire import and export position on Sept.
J. and that the Board of Trade has
agreed to a concession in favor of i'm
porters not represented in 1914 but who
have since established stable businesses
