KNIK, ALASKA
LONDON, Oct. 12.—Queen Wilhel
mina, of Holland, on opening the
Dutch parliament, says a Central
News dispatch from The Hague, ex
pressed thankfulness that the coun
try had not been involved in the war.
She is quoted as soying:
“ We continue to follow the line of
duty dictated by the law of nations
for neutral states and firmly resolved
to defend our independence and main
tain our rights against whomever may
seek to attack them. Our military
forces are being augmented, as also
are our stores of arms and ammuni
tion.”
Referring to the economic life of the
country, which every day is being
more affected by the war, the queen
said that the government was taking
steps to supply the people with food.
Efforts also were being made to ame
liorate conditions in the Dutch East
Indies.
In addition to the augmentation of
Holland’s land forces, Her Majesty
said that the fleet was being streng
thened.
