articles viii appear in subsequent issues.
The Netherlands, alone among the
nations Of Europe, tells much of its story
in its very name. These are the neither
lands-lands once beneath the sea.
All the area of the Netherlands is not
below sea level, but roughly the western
two-fifths of it is; for centuries this
section contained the most fertile and
most valuable land, the greatest and
most historic cities, the densest popula-
ton. Most of this low; carefully culti-
waited, canal-laced region, so typical of
the Netherlands of peacetime, lies within
the provinces of South Holland and
North Holland. Nearly half the Neither
lands prewar population of about eight
million lived in these two divisions.
1t was into this region that tens Of
thousands of visitors used to pour. Few
of them wandered beyond its borders.

The rest Of the country consists of
Iceland, the sea islands, once mud fats,
that were made safe from the waves by
dikes along their edges; the relatively
low areas Of the south along the Rhine
and Mas Rivers, the middle regions,
slightly above sea level, and the prov
inces along the German border that are
chiefly upland plains, some of them
infertile and sparsely settled. The
northern fringe, including Friesland, is
low again, and must be protected by
dikes
Province of Limburg
In the extreme south is a narrow
tail Of land, the Province of Limburg,
that seems strangely out of step with the
rest of the Netherlands. 1t is hilly and
near Maastricht, has valuable coal

The entire kingdom covers less than
10000 square miles, about the area of
Massachusetts, and Connecticut COM

Campaign Bonfres
As to the elections this year, even
the old-timer will agree that it is, to
say the least, q very spirited one, but
as the writer recalls the election nights
Of 90 years and more ago, he seees not
only a spirited occasion but a very
hilarious one, when the youngsters of
the outlying sections of Washington lit
up the heavens for miles around with
their bonfires, fed by anything and
everything wooden that was portable
and not nailed down, including fences,
gates, benches, treeboxes and even
stoops to the front Of the house, so
prevalent in the early days Of the city.
These stoops were made doubly useful
In the '70s after Alexander r. Shepherd
had graded the streets Of Washington
and had left ever 50 many doors to
houses several feet above the new
ground lever. And to remove the stoops
unbeknowing to the occupants Of the
residtnces was certainly not a nice
thing to, do. But then, what did these
little urchins care, even II some one
did Skin their knees the next morning.
Indeed, election nigh. was . busy occa-
