HOLLAND MAY NOT
GIVE UP 1HE KAISER
It Is Rumored That Dutch May
Refuse Allies Call for Hohen-
xollern's Extradition.

The following news dispatch is
taken from Tuesday evenings Den
yer ITEMS:
THE HAGUE, Jan. N-There
was every indication here today
that the Dutch government will re-
fuse the xliIed demand for extradi-
ton of the former kaiser. The al
lied note, signed by Premier Glenn
cnceau of the peace conference, was
reported to have arrived here late
yesterday, brought by special
courier from Paris.
There were excellent reasons to
believe, 1t was learned in official
quarters, that the government
Will base its refusal upon certain
clauses in The Netherlands consti.
tuition and special treaties.
The Dutch reply probably will
point out that article 4 of the con-
stitutfon assures every person,
whether of Dutch or foreign birth,
the same rights of protection. This
fact, 1t was said, probably will
dominate the reply to the supreme
councils note The principle was
established firmly by a law revised
in 1886.
In addition, to conform with the
law of 1886, Holland concluded
treaties with France in 1895, Eng
land IN 1888. and the United States

oVERPRODUCTlON OF MONEY.

1t is trite TO say that the world is suffering to-
day from underproduction. Everybody knows that
or ought to know it. But that is only part of the
story. A. a matter of fact most of it's financial
troubles seem due to oyerproduction Of the one
commodity sought after-money.
How vast this increase Of the medium of ex
change been is revealed in figures given out by
the National city bank of New York without
counting Russia, whose currency has been debased
ny the printing Of rubles by tens Of billions. the
statisticians find that the principal countries Of
the world in 1914 had paper money in circulation
amounting 1850 900 900, and that their pa
per currency has risen to 1000 OOO, 600
With than six times as much money in cir
culation, would certainly be a miracle if prices
had not scared for it is of the elementary
principles Of economics that the more money there
is. the Of it has to be paid for other things
The United states itself has four times as much
paper money in circulation as it had in 1914.
still more significant is the attendant change in
the ratio of T2per TO gold While the volume Of
paper money has been thus multiplied the worlds
supply gold has increased very little. In most of
the countries outside of the United stock
Of gold has been depleted to such an extent as to
place gold at big premium, paper at big dis
count
Our own gold holdings before the war were
almost exactly equal to paper After all
importation Of gold. have only about 50
percent as much gold as paper this, however IS
amTle to keep paper at par value. European
nations less fortunate. In the allied countries
taken altogether, there is only about p per
cent much gold as bank notes. and in the central
European countries only about Is percent
much geld as hank notes.
Clearly. then the task of bringing prices back
to normal ought to attacked from both ends
Production OF goods-of real wealth-should be
speeded up; and at the same time production of
money should be curtailed. The reckless issue of
paper money and negotiable securities should be
stopped; and as fast possible hank notes should
be withdrawn from circulation. bonds should be
deemed and inflated credits of all kinds reduced

Until election day.

Again was bursted flat.
They thought they had him licked

But the eternal throb

How William stood again outside

And how, when turned away once

The Council Bluffs Evening Non
parell says:
"The loss in the Burlington mail
car robbery Saturday night will total
at least $3,500,0OO, it was made
known here today, when additional
postoffice officials came to assist the
local investigators and check OF
the insurance on the pouches was

The sack which was found had
been ripped open and had contained
100000 in government bods, the in
vestigators said. The bonds were en-
route from San Francisco to Wash
ington, D. c., and it is possible that
larger amount than that was con-
tanned in the bag. Officers made a
thorough search but no more sacks
were recovered.

Considerable opposition to the ma

fact that the menace to the United

That Great Britain, Japan's ally,
views the situation in the same light
is made clear by the London news
papers, particular the Daily Express,
which on Saturday gave the follow
ing warning to Japan:
eve are grateful for what Japan
did in the late war. We have treaty
obligations toward her which we will
honor. But we have also ties of blood
and undying war comradeship with
America
Let there be no mistake. We shall
not be drawn into a war with the

ed upon America, there is no need

IDAHO POTATO
YIELD AVERAGE
IS lS0 BUSHELS
Canyon County Field of
Ten Acres Returns
Thousand Dollars
Per Acre

The November report Of julius H.
Jacobson, Statistician of the Idaho
Crop Reporting Service, released
summarizes the weather and crop
conditions as follows:
The justly famous Idaho potato
is again maintaining its reputation
of yield and quality. The average
yield on $4,000 acres was 180 BUSH
els per acre, or a total Of 100000
bushels. Last year the acre yield was
only $50 bushels while the 10 year
average is 159 bushels per acre. This
months estimate takes into consid-
Grafton the possibility of loss from
frost damage. With an average of
225 bushels, Maine was the only state
exceeding Idaho in point Of yield per
acre in 1919 but Maine uses consid-
cradle commercial fertilizer while
Id ,ho uses none.
One field of 10 acres in Canyon
county yielded $685. bushels per acre
of marketable potatoes. These were
sold for seed and averaged close to
$1,000 per acre.
Sugar Beets
Although no serious damage has
been done, still the snow and frost
greatly retarded as well as increased
the cost OF harvesting. The effect OF
blight is reflected in reduced con-
dition report for this month to
per cent, which forecasts a yield of
practically 10 tons per acre, or a
total Of 491, 100 tons for the state.
The unfavorable season Of 1919 pro-
duced a yield of only 6.7 tons per
acre or total Of 100000 tons.

WASHINGTON. Coincident

WASHINGTON. Coincident with
the submission of the Japanese
treaty by President Wilson to the
senate, the navy department, it was
learned officially, is working out and
will present great battleship pro-
gram to congress. 1t is more than
limited that unless the treaty is rati-
fed the naval program will be abso-
lutely essential to the safety of
America.
According to high naval official,
the plan being formulated by the
general naval board contemplates the
construction of ten super-dread-
naughts and six battle cruisers over
period of three years.
Great Importance was attached to
these types by high naval officer.
1t was pointed out that in eventu-
alities, "any Far Eastern power"
would Immediately launch an offen-
sive against Americas great new
merchant marine and endeavor to
sweep it from the\seas. Japan, it was
pointed out, is equipped to arm no
fewer than six hundred merchant
ships, now under subsidy, as COM
merce destroyers.
In support of it's demand for the
new program, the navy department
will fatty inform congress that 1t is
highly important for the safety OF
the nation that the Pacific fleet be
as strong or stronger than that OF
Japan, while the Atlantic feet must
be as powerful as any in Europe ex-
cept that of Great Britain.

said

The physician smiled in return
and gave him some baby food. The
cheerfulness Of the men is welcomed
by the doctors as an aid to regaining
health. 1t is remarkable that none
of them developed scurvy or bed
sores that afflicted MacSwiney. This
is attributed to the excellent care OF
the nurses.
While the strike was on, the doc
tors threatened the nurses with death
if any of the prisoners expired. Two
actually did, but the threat was not
carried out, although the same dis
clipine was maintained in the watch
on the hunger strikers. On Satur-
day the doctors left the prison for
the first time in ten weeks, and
walked about the park unmolested.
