A GROWING EVIL
(By Associated Press.)

The Hague, Aug. 12--Troops have
been sent by both the German and
the Dutch governments to the little
village Of Dinperloo, which is situ-
ated partly on Dutch and partly on
German territory, in order to put an
end to the clandestine trade thriv-
ing there which, in the past few
weeks, had assumed such proportions
that the local authorities were un-
able to prevent violation Of the i'm
port and export duty regulations.
AS soon as the troops arrived, how
ever, order was restored and the
Dutch commander issued manifesto
saying that nobody at Dinxperloo
would be allowed to have more pro-
visions in store than needed for his
private use. The shops were also
nut under strict control.
