MANY HOLLANDERS
COME TO AMERICA
immigration Officials Will AT
tempt to Place Several
Foreigners.

NEW YORK, oct. 6.-Assurance
has been given TO s. L. Veenstra,
secretary OF the Netherlands Emigra-
ton league by immigration Commits
sioner Wallis on Ellis island, that
the United States authorities will
aid in placing many immigrants
from Holland who are planning to
come 10 America. Mr.. Neenstra said
that many thousands Of Dutch were
applying for passports 10 the United
States and that he had established
branch Of the Emigration league
here.
Principal Causes.
There are three principal causes
for our people wanting TO come
here" said Mr.. Neenstra. First
there is naturally an accumulation
OF emigrants because OF the years
Of war. Secondly, Holland is being
overcrowded by thousands of war
refugees from other countries and,
thirdly, many Of our people are
simply sick of Europe and all things
European. But, let it be under
stood that they are not leaving Hol-
land because they cannot make
living there. They are a most pros
porous people and most of them viii
buy homes In the United States.
They prefer farming and for that
reason 1 am sure they will be well
come here

On Allied Armies
Declares That Army of Occupation Is
for Offensive and Not Defensive
Purposes.
tBy Associated Press

Berlin.--Allied armies Of occupation
in Germany are being maintained at a
strength which is unnecessary, said
Foreign Minister Simons in a speech
at Cologne today, He contended the
allied intention in thus keeping the
forces in high state of efficiency was
lot defensive, but offensive The for.
Ign minister asked why the Ehmc
ridge heads had been extended, why
Iilitary bakeries capable Of turning
,ut 100000 rations daily had been es-
sablished, and why new strategic Rhine
bridges had been prepared and why
Belgian troops, equipped almost ready
or the march, have been stationed in
tactical positions behind the armies of
occupation. He declared that these
features of the situation gave the i'm
preston that territory along the Rhine
was being used, not for purposes Of
security, but as jumping off ground"
for further encroachments upon Ger
many. A warm protest against Ger
many being saddled with the expenses
Of these armies was voiced by the for
eign minister.

KEMPER HALL GIRL
MAY HAVE ELOPED
Report Declares That Virginia Vande.
yenter, Former Kemper Hall Girl,
Has Eloped.

I'm married" is the telegram which
Virginia Vandeventer, daughter of a
wealthy doctor and mine owner at
Ispheming, Mich, is reported to have
sent her parents on Tuesday.
Miss Vandeventer was student at
Kemper Hall for part of term two
years ago, but after completing the
term she had not returned the next
year. The authorities of the school
declared that the word of the elope-
ment was complete news to them and
that they knew nothing in regard to
it. The rumor emanated from Miiwau-
kee and while the name of the man
was not given, it was rumored that he
might be street car conductor at
Waukegan,
Dr. Vandeventer is said to be the
president of the Cleveland Cliffs Min
ing company at the Michigan city. No
confirmation of the rumor could be
secured.
County Clerk Hendee at Waukegan
was questioned regarding the eIope-
ment and while he admitted that there
were several licenses which were being
kept secret, he declared that no Miss
Vandeventer had secured a license
there for the last two months.
