COST COUNTRY S477,787,OOO
All of Her Industries Suffered, and
Much Was Sunk in Certain For
egn Bonds-Suffered Most
of Any Neutral.

New YOrk-ImpresSiO that HOl-
land became enriched~by the war are
cOmbated in a pamphlet issued by ID.
J. Steyn Parve, acting consul general
for the Netherlands, showing that, by
reason of its geographical and eco
nomic position, the pressure and evil
effects of the war were probably more
seriously felt there than in any other
neutral country.
On the mainland, the pamphlet says,
Holland was entirely surrounded by
territory in the hands of one of the
belligerents, while the North sea, more
than any other waterway, was part of
the war zone. AS the prosperity of
Holland depends upon international
intercourse, industries were chOked,
large outlays were imposed in the
maintenance of a defensive army,
there was growing unemployment and
the people generally suffered.
Shipping Shrinks.
In 1913 shipping in the ports Of Hol-
land amounted to 36,229,0O0 net tons.
That volume shrank to 100000 tons
in 1918. Traffic in Amsterdam de-
creased from 2,597 ships in 1913 to 37S
in 1918. and in Rotterdam from 11,2S5
to ,1S1 ships. Rhine tonnage dropped
from 1.16S614 in 1913 to 490,732 in
1918. Dutch foreign trade became en-
tirely disOrgan:Zed, owing to restric-
tions enforced by both belligerents.
Import duties in 1913 amounted to
S5,447, ,040. In 1918 they were about
S3.OOO.OOO, and domestic trade suffered
by the reduction. Individuals made
excess profits here and there, produc-
ing a crop of the newly-rich, but they
thrived at the cost OF an impoverished
country; and against these profits
should be rcckOned the loss of 247, ,34S
tons of shipping, representing 22.3S
per cent of the fleet of 1913.
Large profits came from agriculture
in clay soil, in the first years OF the
war. Sandy soil could not be cult

means to blacken his character and
break his popularity with the people,
The custom of celebrating February
% in honor Of Washington's birthday
dates back to 1888. On that day and
year number of gentlemen who ad-
mired him met in a tavern in New
York One had written an ode and
another brought a list of toasts. The
celebration at once became popular
and the historian says: March was
far gone before the Gazettes and Ad-
vertisers ceased to publish narratives
of the bOnfres and the barbecues. the
bell ringing, the cannonading, the
feasting, ETC., which came in from
every town in the land"
Washington "Aristocrat."
But there was a considerable part
of the community who looked upon
these celebrations with hidden rage,
a writer in the Pasadena Star-News
observes. These consisted mostly of
the admirers of France and the new
republic, and they claimed that the
president was an aristOcrat. Was he
not cold and reserved? Did he not

But Washington paid no attention to
the willful miSconstructiOn of his most
innocent acts. In 1896 for the first
time in the history of the country the
office of president was open to COM
petition. Twice had Washington been
chosen by the unanimous vote of the
electoral college and twice inaugural
ed with the warmest appreciation of
the whole people.
But the times had now changed. In
1889 and 1892 every man was for him.
In 1896 in every town and city of the
land were men who denounced him as
an ariStOcrat, as mOnOcrat, as an
AnglOmaniac. Yet much as his pOpu-
larity suffered it was still great and
powerful and thousands of men in the
republican party would gladly have
seen him seated for the third time,
but he refused, and on Sept. II made
public his farewell address.
His critics stated that the reason he
refused to he third-time candidate
was said to spring from a knowledge
that he would not be elected, not from
want of ambition or lust of power.
