Dutch Ready for Anyone The making action of the Netherlands in preparations threw all the chancelleries of Hurope into excite- ment since the little kingdom occu- pies a highly strategical position in the war.

Though the excitement caused by the Dutch government’s suddenly an- nounced decisjon to recall furloughed troops to the colors has somewhat calmed down, there is still a distinct feeling of nervousness throughout the nation, due to the fact that the public is unable to make more than a guess at the reasons for the orders.
