NEUTRAL NATION
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, June 11.
—Popular dissatisfaction with the
heavy burden the war has Imposed
on neutral Holland Is growing steadily
and finding almost daily expression,
especially among the workers. Re
cently several meetings of working
men and women, as well as the un
employed, have been held In leading
Dutch industrial centers to protest
against the high cost of living induced
by the war.
In The Hague a meeting was held in
the "Concordia," a hall largely de
voted to socialistic and labor gather
ings. The ball was crowded. No
police were present, though there were
a large number within easy call in the
street outside. The meeting was
preceded by a parade of the unem
ployed through the quietest and most
select residential quarters of The
Hague, singing "The International,"
and distributing handbills calling up
on all Hollanders to stand with the
demonstrators in their tight against
hunger in Holland. A large crowd
gathered before the city hall, but was
dispersed by the police.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of a committee of agitation
against the war consisting of repre
sentatives of The Hague Trade Coun
cil and allied bodies; the Social Dem
ocratic party; the Star Garment
Workers’ Union; The Hague Branch
of the National Municipal Workers;
The Hague Branch of the Industrial
Workers of the World and the Gen
eral Trade Union Council. L. de Vls
ser, a young labor loader, arraigned
the present administration of the
Netherlands in a speech in which
Minister of Finance Treub came in
for attack. The Minister's pledge
made at the outbreak of the war that
“there shall be no hunger in Holland”
was recalled In connection with the
rise of from 20 per cent to 40 per cent
and even more in the price of the bare|
necessities of life, within the last
eight months.
The meeting criticized the work of
the National Relief Committee as
being directed to aid the large em
ployers of lalior in the Netherlands
to avoid increasing the wages of their
employes. The demonstrators alleged
that while taxes and the cost of liv
ing mounted constantly, wages re
mained stationary, and the Relief
Committee was urged to stave off the
logical economic crisis that ordinarily
would result from such a condition,
by succoring those families placed by
It in imminent want. The workers
further declared that they had already
more than paid their share of the cost
of the mobilization of the Dutch
troops, in the increased prices they
had been forced to pay for foodstuffs;
and they protested vigorously against
any general tax to cover military ex
penditures. They claimed that the
large property owners and employers
of labor in Holland who, they said,
have been growing rich out of the
war, should be forced to pay the full
cost of mobilization through a special
tax on incomes above a certain figure,
and upon capital.
ENGLISH OFFICERS IN
NEED DF FIELD GLASSES
LONDON, June 11.—While hun
dreds of appeals for field glasses ap
pear in the personal columns of the
London papers in behalf of young offi
cers at the front, the followers of the
races still have plenty of binoculars
with which to view the horses. A
picture of the grounds nt Newmarket,
showing the crowd with glasses to
eyes following the race, nppeurs in
one of the London newspapers, while
below appears the appeal for these
instruments made by Lady Roberts.
Commissioned officers must largely
furnish their own kit In the British
army, and their pay Is only nominal.
Glasses are naturally out of the reach
of the noncommissioned olflcors. One
of the last acts of Lord Roberts was
an appeal to sportsmen for glasses for
the front, and before leaving on his
trip to France he wrote a second
appeal, which was found after his
death.

PANAMA NAM TROOPS
ORGANIZED AS RESERVES
PANAMA, June 11.—Plans for the
organization of a large and well
trained reserve force from nmong the
natives of the Republic of Panama
are being considered by Brigadier
General Clarence R. Edwards, com
mander of the Panamn Canal troops.
It Is proposed that these reserves
should form a part of the Panama
Canal defense forces and should be
trnlncd by American officers for use
In case the canal or the republic were
attacked.
It is said that practically all of the
natives In the Interior are excellent
shots and would be perfectly willing
to serve for a short time for little
pay In the various Instruction camps
that would be established. It Is be
lieved that probably 20,000 to 30,000
such reservists could be obtained.
The native troops would be officered
by young Pnnamans, schooled by the
American officers. It would be In the
nature of a National Guard of Panama
but would not supplant the present
national police.
AMPUTATIONS ART LAST
RESORT WITH WOUNDED
BERLIN, June 11.—Surgery upon
the battlefield, according to a well
known physician. Dr. Ziegelroth, is
becoming more and more a matter of
“back to nature.” The doctors, mili
tary and civil, who are tending the
wounded in the west, are discovering,
not without some surprise, how potent
a factor nature Is in healing wounds.
Amputations are resorted to only in
cases of utmost necessity, and sur
geons are acting with the greatest
conservatism where previously limbs
were severed quickly when certain
symptoms appeared. The conser
vatism appears to be rewarded by re
coveries that ordinarily would have
been considered Impossible. Ordinary
wounds are dressed with antisceptic
bandages, and then are not rebound
any more than necessary. The heal
ing is being left to efficient nature.
The civil practitioners in the west
ern field, according to Dr. Ztegelroth,
are engaged in a friendly but spirited
contest with the military physicians,
and are giving extraordinary service.
Men who In ordinary life have a
“golden practice" are enduring all the
hardships of the field without a mur
mur, and good-humoredly contest for
bundles of straw upon which to sleep
in barns and stables. The snoring of
fellow physicians seems to bother
them more than the artillery fire.

MODERN CONVENIENCES
BOON TO COMMANDERS
LONDON, June 11.—The striking
difference between the ages of the
commanding officers In the present
war ns compared with those of earlier
times Is attributed by The British
Medical Journal to the saving of
bodily wear and tear brought about
by modern Inventions. The paper
suggests that Napoleon would not
have broken down so soon If he had
been able to use automobile, tele
phone and telegraph.
Generals a few generations age
were young men, because they soon
broke down under the hardships oi
campaigning. They had to live in
the saddle and keep the field undei
eye in order to be able to direct the
movements. Nowadays, th*> general
stays in his base quarters, where he
follows operations on a map as reports
come in by telephone and telegraph
occasionally by motorcycle, from vari
ous parts of the line. When he goes
on u tour of inspection, he rolls along
in h motor car at his ease.
Contrasting the ages of the former
great generals with the leaders in the
present war, the Journal says:
“When Napoleon’s star was eclipsed
forever at Waterloo, he- was but 46
years of age. but he had been a broken
man in body, aud to an increasing
extent in mental pow«r, long before
Wellington fought his last battle at
4C, Ney at 45, Nelson at 47; Alexander
the Great was only 33 when deatl
ended his career of conquest; Hanni
bal wus In his 46th year whem he was
finally defeated by Sclpio. Sir Join:
French and General JoKre are bott
over 60; Generals Pau and Gallien
are veterans of the war of 1S70; Gen
era! Von Kluck Is nearly 70 and Mar
shal von lllndenhurg is 67.

DELAY IN TRANSMITTING
MESSAGES DURING WAR
THE HAGUE, June 11—Telegraphic
communications between the European
countries, whether belligerent or neu
tral, have been affected to an enorm
ous extent by the war. Not only has
the time of transmission been greatly
extended, but the cost to the senders
hns been vastly increased.
Holland, for Instance, in order to
communicate with neutral Spain, must
route her messages by way of England
at double expense, since France will
not permit telegrams which have been
passed over German or Austrian lines
to be taken over her own wires. Other
wise It would be possible to send the
messages by way of Germany and
and Switzerland and thus over south
ern France to Spain.
In order to telegraph from Holland
to Denmark, Sweden or Norway, the
dispatches from Holland must pass
either through the hands of the Ger
man or those of the English censors,
by each of whom they are in many
Instances given short shrift and often
do not ever reach their destination.
For America, all cablegrams from
Holland must first go to England, with
consequent d^lay and sometimes sup
pression by the censors hut more
especially when coming from the
United States to Holland, when a de
lay often days Is nothing unusual.
The question has been raised In
commercial circles here as to what
course is to be persued to recover
the tolls pnld to the cable companies
for messages which, owing to the ac
tlon of the Germnn, British and
French censors, have never gone over
the wires, and an Investigation has
been started with the object of regu
lating the matter after the war is
ended.

MINISTRY Of COMMERCE
ORCEO FOR ENGLAND
______
LONDON, June 11.—At the annual
meeting of the Association of Trade
Protection societies a resolution was
passed urging the establishment of
a Ministry of Commerce and express
ing the belief that such a Ministry
would have prevented many of the
difficulties which have arisen during
the recent months.
The matter has been taken up by
several newspapers and although the
question of cost is considerable it h
argued that the work now being done
partly by the Foreign Office, the
Board of Trade and the Colonial Office
would if co-ordinated and consoli
dated in a single branch, greatly
assist in the extension of British
trade and at the same time smooth
the contraband difficulties which trad
ers In almost every branch of com
merce are suffering from at the pres
ent time.
