Economic Difficulties, Crisis Over Submarine Sinkings and.) *——— Railway Question May Force} The Dutch In. Allies Protest Allowing Germany to Ship Barbed Wire and Tim- ber Over Limburg Railway. y (By, Newspaper Enterprise Ass’n.) Amsterdam, Aug. ficulties, the controversy with Ger- many over the sinking of the Dutch steamer, Koningin Regentes, and the controversy over the German use ,of | the. Limburg railway are placing Hol- land once more on the brink of war. Germany pms bent on eventually forcing the ration into the arms of the entente, so that she can occupy its eastern frontier and exploit its ‘com- mercial advantages. Hope of reaching an agreement with Germany over the food situation and the concessions permitting the HUNS use of the burg, into Belgium had just begun to mollify the situation when the sinking of the Koningin Regentes created a crisis which has-not yet been weath- ered. Allies Make Protest A misunderstanding has now a between Holland and the alli the use of the Limburg : which puts the little nation between two. fires. Holland had agreed that Germany would be permitted to transport noth- ing but non-military goods over the Limburg railway. Forengn Minister Loudon understood this to mean that all goods other than arms, ammuni- tion, airplanes, military equipment, etc., could be carried bver the road, and entered into an agreement with Germany to this effect. The allied governments have now made representations to the Dutch government protesting against the transit of such articles as timber, ores, barbed wire, hay and straw, which there is reason to believe are intended for military purposes. If Holland keeps her agreement with Germany, therefore, she displeases the allies; if she doesn’t, she displeases Germany. - Shut Off From the World Even if no military supplies were transported across Dutch, Limburg, the use of the route for direct com- munication with Antwerp greatly re- lieves the strain on the German rail- ways further south, which can be used for the moving of troops and mil- itary supplies. It is clear, therefore, that, unwillingly and perhaps unwit- tingly the Dutch have enabled the Germans to win an important vic- tory. 7 Holland is now almost completely shut off by sea from the rest of the world and relies on‘Germany for much of her industrial supplies, exporting vegetables and other foodstuffs in ex- change. The economic agreement un- der which these exchanges were made expired last April and has not been renewed, so the Dutch may have to turn to the allies for supplies through the war zone. This situation, coupled with the cri- sis over the torpedoing of Dutch ships and the railway controversy, repre- sents, a powder mine which may’ at any time blow up and force Holland into the war on the side of the en- tente. ——uy Ww. 3. 3 ° {LETTERS FROM “SOMEWHERE” | IN FRANCE| °. 2 FROM RUSSELL UNKEMIOT July 25, 1918, Dear Mother, Father and All: The. first and last thing is WRITE.
