TREATY OF 1889

l,elgo-isitch Border Troables, Begun
Years Ago. Given Hearing bY
Five Great Powers

Paris, July l. Holland has scored
in the first heat OF the diplomatic
tourney with her nelghbor Belgium
over the clauses of the treaties OF
1889. which have aroused good
deal Of feeling on both sides Of the
Belgo-Dutch border.
II was these so years old treaties
that gave itlland the Isimburg pen
insula"-the narrow elongated strip
of land popularly known as the
Dutch appendix by crossing which,
the Germans In their retreat last fan
saved themselves detour OF some
40 miles and possible captnre by the
allied armies.
The Belgians dug up ancient re-
cords showing that several towns and
villages situated in Dutch Limburg
had, in the thirties OF last century,
petitioned the first king Of the Bel
gians TO be Joined to his new king
dom. Although the Dutch Limburg.
ers OF the present day are said TO
have no such desires, an influential
section Of Belgian politicians clam
ored for the annexation of Iimburg
to Belgium.
Also, to safeguard the future po-
sition of Antwerp, the Belgian an
nexationists claimed the territory
known as Dutch Flanders. situated
on the southern bank Of the Scheldt
estuary, which the treaties 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 good deal of flag
waving and shouting about dying in
the last ditch" before giving up ma.
tionn 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 a
conference was called by the five
great powers to reconsider the trea.
ties of 1889. a delegation of eminent
Dutch iurists, came to Paris with the
firm resolve to avoid anything in the
nature ola breach with Belgium.
On the cession of territory, how
ever. ther instructions were definite
and the Dutch standpoint has been
upheld by the five great powers.

BOLSHEVKI SPREAD
TO ANOTHER country

London. July 7ABritish governs

uprising in Afghanistan. is being fos-
tered. by the Russian bolsheviki. II
is stated that the government has
positive information that the amir is
in close touch with the bolsheYiki in
Turkestan and Moscow and that Rus
sian emissaries have been sent to
Afghanistan.
1t is believed here that the amir
is delaying answering armistice
terms which he requested. nntii he
can further concentrate his forces,
stir up more trouble among frontier
tribes and get assistance either in
the form of propaganda or money
from Russia
Recent successes of the bolshevilSi
in Trans-Caucasia are regarded with
apprehension and as likely ito JIM
press the iAfghans. e
The bolsheviki aspirations un-
doubtedly are two-fold. Official
opinion here is that they hope
through these methods TO spread
their doctrine among the people OF
the near east widening their influ.
ence and embarrassing the United
Kingdom. ~
