BELGIUM SEEKS
ANNEXATION OF
DUTCH HOLDING
PARIS, June 12 (Correspondence of
Associated Press).—Holland has
scored in the first heat of the diplo
matic tourney with her neighbor, Bel
gium, over the clauses of the treaties
of 1839, which have aroused a good
deal of feeling on both sides of the,
Belgo-Dutch border.
It was these eighty-year-old treaties
that gave Holland the Limburg “penin
sula”—the narrow, elongated strip of
land popularly known as the “Dutch
appendix,” by crossing which the Ger
mans in their retreat last fall saved
themselves a detour of some forty
miles and possible capture by the al
lied armies.
The Belgians dug up ancient records
showing that several towns and vil
lages situated in Dutch Limburg had,
in the thirties of last century, peti
tioned the first king of the Belgians
to be joined to his new kingdom. A1-.
though the Dutch Limburgers of the
present day are said to have no such
desires, an influential section of Bel
gian politicians clamored for the an
nexation of Limburg to Belgium.
Also, to safeguard the future posi
tion of Antwerp, the Belgian annexa
tionists claimed the territory known
as Dutch Flanders, situated on the
southern bank of the Scheldt estuary,
which the treaties named had also
given to Holland.
These territorial claims aroused a
storm of patriotic indignation in Hol
land. Queen Wilhelmina visited the
disputed parts of her dominion, and
there was a good deal of flag-waving
and shouting about “dying in the last
ditch” before giving up national ter
ritory. The situation was becoming
unpleasant. Cool-headed elements in
Holland realized that an estrangement
from the Belgian sister nation would
be fraught with disastrous conse
quences. When a conference was
called by the five great powers to re
consider the treaties of 1839, a dele
gation of eminent Dutch jurists came
to Paris with the firm resolve to avoid
anything in the nature of a breach
with the Belgians.
On the cession ot territory, how
ever, their instructions were definite,
and the Dutch standpoint has been
upheld by the five great powers.
It was agreed to institute a commis
sion of seven powers, including Bel
gium and Holland. This commission
is to examine the proposed revision of
the treaties of 1839 and submit pro
posals “implicating neither a transfer
of sovereignty nor the creation of in
ternational servitudes.” The com
mission will invite Belgium and Hol
land to submit “joint formulas” in the
matter of waterways, the general prin
ciples of the peace conference to be
applied as bases for the same.
The bellicose feeling on both sides
now has almost died down.

“And my
GOODRICH Shoes j
! outwore Six pairs of his”
i
He is an old timer—been in Alaska for 21
) years—and just back in the States. He |
j was visiting the Goodrich Factory and we
asked him, of course, if he ever used our
Goodrich “Hi-Press” Boots and Shoes
while he was up there, and he said— i
“Say, those are some shoes you people make.
► Why, I remember one time when my part
ner and I went over the hills and I wore a
pair of your Goodrich White Pacs. He
‘ didn’t! And he wore out six pairs before
we got back—I still wore my first pair.”
' ; There’s the result of making Goodrich
Rubber Footwear the new way,—IN ONE
'/ SINGLE PIECE—rubber tough as steel—
ij no leaking, no peeling, no half-soling. And
' they’re comfortable—fee! like old shoes
before you’ve worn them 24 hours.
We make all kinds,—shoes, boots, shorts
and hip, for mining, fishing, logging, pros
pecting, etc. They always have “The Red ►
Line ‘Round The Top.”
