Dutch Use Tulip Bulbs
As Bread Ingredient,
WiIhe|mina Declares
Peoples Health Fails.
Queen Tells Press at
White House Session
BY MARION WADE DOYLE.


The Germans have taken so
much food out OF the Neither
lands that the health of the
people has seriously deteriorated,
their 61-year-old monarch,
Queen Wilhelmina, told press
conference of woman reporters at
the White House today.
So serious has the food condition
become, according to Wilhelmina,
that bulbs of the famous tulips OF
the lowlands are being used as an
ingredient In bread. The tulip fields
as adornments have almost disap-
peared.
The twinkle with which the Queen
answered most Of the questions of
the press disappeared from her eyes
as she declared "the health of my
people has deteriorated to an alarm
ing degree. So far 1t has not been
possible to get food into the oc-
cupied countries"
The Queen is mainly alarmed over
the tuberculosis she has noticed
among refugees coming to the
United States from the Netherlands
and Is also concerned about other
effects resulting from famine"
I'VE shall have to see how good
their health will be after the war;"
she added. For postwar recon-
struction of Dutch health the Queen
Is leaning heavily on the govern
ment health service which, she
cited with pride, kept infant NOR
tality in the Netherlands so low
before the war.
Questions Submitted.
The Queens comments on the
physical condition of the enslaved
people of the Netherlands were
called forth by one of a carefully
selected list of questions submitted
by newspaper women in advance.
When the reporters had been
seated In their usual semi-circle In
front of couch on the second
floor Of the White House, the Queen
entered the room q few steps be-
hind Mrs. Roosevelt, who introduced
her. Wilhelmina was dressed In q
black and white striped summer
crepe. On her feet were white
wedge" sandals, obviously pur-
chased in America. She leaned on
a slender cane and carried horn
trimmed glasses in a black case in
her left hand.
To Mrs. Roosevelt's request that
the Queen be seated in one corner
of the sofa facing the reporters,
Wilhelmina responded with
cheerful, IAN right" and sitting
down, put on her glasses to read
the answers she had prepared be-
forehand.
Address Is Formal.
Most of the eight reporters per-
mitted to ask the Queen questions
prefaced their remarks with your
majesty" but even for those who
left it out the Queen had a gracious
smile at the beginning and the end
of her answer
Her most spirited reply came to
question on the submission of the
Dutch people to the German yoke.
MY people have never submit
ted" the Queen said with force.
Drawing herself up, she finished,

Red Reserves Hurled Into Fioht
Against New Sto|ingrod Threat;
Front Is Stabilized on FIonks
Center Sector Soes
At BeIoyo GIino
And KoteInikovski
BY EDDY GILMORE,

ASSoclateo Press war correspondent.
MOSCOW, Aug. 6.-Russia's s
carefully saved reserves were
moving into the battle today as
Marshal Semeon Timoshenko's
troops fought back bitterly
against a new threat to Stalin-
grad on the battle-ground where
the fledgling Red Army made
history in the 1917 revolution.
Dispatches which indicated for the
Arst time that the reserves were
going into action against the terrific
German offensive said the battle
line apparently had been stabilized
at both flanks-near Kletskaya, 80
miles northwest of Stalingrad, and
Kushchevka, on the Yeya River, so
miles south of Rostov.
The line still sagged, however,
under the weight of NaZi numerical
superiority in the Belaya Glina Sec
tor, 100 miles southeast of Rostov,
and near Kotelnikovski, south OF the
Don, 95 miles southeast of Stalingrad.
! At Belaya Glina the threat to the
North Caucasus was greatest. At
Kotelnikovski the menace to Stalin-
grad was sharpened by the danger
of a by-passing drive toward
Astrakhan on the Caspian Sea, 24O
miles to the east, or by the possibility
OF squeeze on the important Volga
stronghold Of Stalingrad from the
northwest and southwest simulta-
neously.
Firm Stand Near Kushchevka.
Meanwhile, however, all Nazi
assaults northwest of Stalingrad, In
the Kletskaya area. were being
stopped dead. Similarly, the Rus
SLAMS reported q firm stand near
Kushchevka, where they said reck-
less Don and Kuban Cossacks held
a waterline apparently the Yeya
River, repulsing attack after at
tack by German tanks and infantry.
The necessity for blows in return
was emphasized by Red Star, the
army newspaper, which said "in or
der to halt the enemy it is necessary
to reply to every attack with coun-
terattacks."
(The Germans reported the
capture of Tikhoretsk. on the
Caucasian railway 40 miles south
west of Belaya Glina and about
the same distance southeast OF
Kushchevka)
On the Stalingrad front, Kotel-
s,;Loueki itself still WAS in Russian
hands, but was. under German at
tack. The fighting switched there
from Tsimlyansk, where the Red
Army for two weeks had held the
Nazis on the banks Of the Don.
Situation Still Grave.
Red Star said the situation on the
southern fiank below Belaya Gina
and Kushchevka continued grave,
with the Germans making new dents
In Russian defense lines. 1t said
enemy gains there, however, were
achieve at great cost in Nazi lives
and equipment.
The most violent battle was in
progress in the Belaya Gina sector
where the Germans have driven
closest to the oil fields of Maikop,
some 120 miles farther southwest.
Stalingrads defenders were spurred
by the memories Of the heroic and
successful defense of the city in
1917 by troops under Joseph Stain,
who organized supply services there
for the newly-created Red Army.

of the Territorial Department of
Health, according to report made
by Wilfred Kennel, Director of
Public Health Laboratories for the
department. The strychnine was

achs of the dogs examined.

ALASKA GETTING
BACK TO NORMAL
BARTLETT SAYS
Fairbanks B Iaekout Re.
strietions Lifted : Gas
Shortage AI|eviated

Severe blackout restrictions which
have been imposed on Fairbanks
for weeks are now being relaxed
and the Interior city is returning
to normal gradually, it was an
nounced today by E. L. Bartlett,
Secretary of Alaska, who returned
Saturday from flying trip
throughout Interior and Westward
Alaska
Civilian guardsmen at Fairbanks
who have been on duty watching
important utilities on a 24-hour
basis since the beginning of the
war are being withdrawn but are
prepared to go into action on a
moments notice, Bartlett de-
clared.
With civilian defense forces we'll
organized throughout the Territory
prepared for any emergency and
cooperating with army and navy
authorities to the fullest extent"
business conditions throughout the
Westward seem to be more nearly
at normal than since the outbreak
of war, Bartlett reported.
Gas Shortage
There were temporary gasoline
shortages at both Anchorage and
Fairbanks, he said, but these are
being eradicated with the arrival,
first of case gasoline and now of
gasoline in the bulk for civilian
use. For a short time, he said, only
military vehicles were able to OBJ
tain the fuel.
Likewise, Bartlett declared, Sc
rious coal shortage which COM
PEELED rationing of the fuel at An
chorage is now alleviated The
power plant at Fort Richardson
army base is now in operation, he
reported, reducing the heavy load
on the Anchorage Power and Light
Company which for a time neces-
STATED the restriction of the use
of electricity there.
Farmers and villages in Mata-
nuska Valley are beginning to re-
ceive electric power from Rural
Identification Administration lines
recently run into the valley.
Mining Problems
Miners, Bartlett stated, are pre-
pared to continue their operations
to the fullest extent possible. All,
he said, realize their precarious po-
sition in reference to labor short
age and the difficulty of obtaining
mechanician requirements. War eff
fort, he declared, will require. many
of the tractors, drag lines and
diesel oil now an integral part of
placer mining operations, but
everywhere, readiness and willing
ness to make all necessary person.
al sacrifices to win the war is
DCulS ChkJl CooCQ.
Even some mine operators who
will be wiped out entirely from a
financial standpoint are doing y
minimum of complaining, Bartlett
stated.
so many people will be affected
over such a wide area of Alaska,
it is to be hoped that some plan
can be worked out, and worked
out soon, to permit industries 70
continue functioning, even if their
operations are restricted" Bartlett
said. "Only in that manner can the
civilian population be maintained
and it is essential that the popu-
lation be kept as nearly intact as
possible SO the related servicing
industries, now of unquestioned
benefit to the army in Alaska, may
be kept open"
