HOLLAND IN BAD STRAITS
Hard for Little Monarchy to Maintain
Neutrality and Keep Its Ancient
Friendships.
To the man in the street in Am- '
sterdam or Rotterdam neutrality :
means “the hell of war without the j
compensating glory.”
Holland at large has now the care j
of three hundred thousand- Belgian j
refugees, who, living together in spe- j
daily constructed villages, have to j
be fed and lodged and kept as happy |
as circumstances allow. The work is !
done with devotion, but the glory of
war is absent. On a1! sides danger
still lurks. Fiercer than ever, Eu
ropean conflagration burns about
this single spot.
With its commerce hampered upon
all sides, with its legitimate trade
made impossible by the illegitimate
rules of arbitrary neighbors, Holland
continues in its self-imposed task.
She has been abused bv her neigh
bors for her lukewarmness in what
they consider a holy cause, she has
lost all chances of future political i
reward by her abstention from the i
conflict; yet future generations will i
recognize that during those very dif-1
ficult days little Holland calmly
maintained a just neutrality while j
ministering to those who innocently j
were made to suffer.—Hendrik Van
Loon, in Century Magazine.
YOUTHFUL VICTIMS OF WAR
Grim Toll Is Levied on the Best of
the Citizens of Countries
Involved in Strife.
War’s toll is taken in the flesh of j
youth. It is the future of the land,!
not its past, that follows the flag to j
death. More tears are shed for sons j
than for fathers, husbands or broth- j
ers. Jt is not only from among I
those of greatest youthful vigor that j
war does its recruiting; it sacrifices |
many who are still mere children.
Midshipmen of fifteen are going
down with their ships in every naval
engagement of the present war. Oth
ers hardly older are filling the ranks
of the infantry and guides.
Our Civil war was fought by ar
mies in which the average age of j
enlisted men was only nineteen and :
of officers but twenty-three. In any ;
country which raises its troops!
through voluntary enlistment boys |
are bound to be in the majority. For
it is youth which rushes to the colors
without a thought of the horror that
lies ahead, without the outstretched
hands of dependents to hold it back.
One sickens when he contemplates
what this slaughter of Europe’s
youth means to he future of science,
art and business. We shall never
know what a wealth of budding gen
ius withered at the cannon’s mouth.
—New York Mail.
NO DOUBT OF IT.
“Was there running water in, the
house you looked at.”
‘‘Sure Every floor in it was leak
ing.”
CAUGHT AT IT.
“What’s become of Bill ?”
“Oh, ho opened a store.”
“Doing well?”
“No; doin’ time.” { d
POOR SPORT.
“Look here!” cried the angry
farmer. “What do you mean by fish
ing in this creek? Don’t you see
the property’s poster?”
“Yes,” replied the discouraged
angler. “If I had been posted my
self. I never would have tried to
catch any fish here.”
NOT WORTH QUARRELING OVER.
“Dubbs and his wife never have
any arguments about money mat
ters.”
“How fortunate.”
“Yes. Mrs. Dubbs says that a
men? trifle like Dubbs’ salary should
not be allowed to come between
them, so she takes it all.”
ONE SELDOM CALLED.
“What sort, of place do you intend
to visit this summer?”
“i want altitude. I’m going to a
hotel that is built on a bluff.”
“My friend, the average summer
hotel is not only built on a bluff, but
is run that way.”
RIGHT IN STYLE.
“1 used to be rather ashamed of
mv projecting ears.”
“Well ?”
“But they are in style now, it
seems, for holding the hat up.”
SUPERFLUOUS.

to the shorn lamb.
Bocker—But what’s the use' of a
wind shield without an auto?
UNDESERVED CENSURE.
“I dare say you haven’t worked in
years,” remarked the hard-featured
housewife.
“You do me a great injustice,
mum,” said the tattered tourist. “I’m
recuperaiin’ right now from a sen
tence of si.\ months at hard labor.”
