PULLAR & NIVEN HOLLAND'S PEOPLE AGTING AS SPIES Two Policemen Dropped for Clan- destine Relations With Germans Rotterdam, Netherlands, July 14.— Besides being the medium through , Which the war news of the belliger- ents, and much else, is exchanged, Holland is apparently the principal center whence the respective espion- age organizations send out their agents into the enemy’s country and, moreover, an important spy recruiting ground. Many Dutch citizens, even members of the nobility, have, ac- cording to a contributor to the Nieuwe Rotterdam Courant, entered this dan- gerous but lucrative service, and not & few are now rueing the day in for- elgn captivity, not to mention those who have paid the penalty of thelr lives. There are, it appears, two known espionage quarters in Rotter- dam, directed by men commanding extensive staffs. Even an innocent visit to such offices may have the most unpleasant, if not dangerous consequences, for the eyves and the cameras of the opposing party, are ever on the watch and several Rot- terdam men have long been Incarcer- ated in foreign prisons merely on such a ground. Significant in this connection Is. the recent dismissal from the police ser- vice of two detectives on the staff of the chief police bureau of Am- sterdam, for having entered into well- paid clandestine relations with the German secret service. Their “side line” Included, among other jobs, the watching of persons of different na- tionalities who had applied for pa ports to enter Germany, but concern- ing whom the German authorities entertained misgivings. Investigations are now afoot to ascertain whether other police officials in the chief cities of Holland may not have yielded to German temptations. The semi-annual report of the na- tional lodge may interfere with the installation of officers of Leading Star lodge, Shepherds of Bethlehem, in Electric hall next Tuesday night.

TAKEN FROM KAISER'S HAND Lloyd George Believes Allies Will Hold It from Now On London, July 14—David Lloyd George British minister of war presiding, late yesterday at an allied conference on | equipment, declared that the com- | bined offensive of the allies had | wrenched the initiative from the Ger- | mans, never, he trusted, to return. “We have crossed the watershed,” he said, “and now victory is beginning { to flow in our direction. This change is due to the improvement in equipment.” Lloyd George said a million men now are engaged in building, outfitting | and repairing ships in the British navy. | The conference was held at the war | office and was participated in by Al- bert Thomas, French minister of mu- nitions; General Beliaoff, assistant minister of war of Russia; General A. Dall Olitio, member of the Italian ministry of war, and the new British minister of munitions, Edwin S. Mon- tague. “Since our last munitions confer- ence,” said Lloyd Gorge, “there has been a considerable change in the fortunes of the allies. On that date the great Champagne offensive in the west had just failed to attain its ob- jective and the French and British | armies had sustained heavy losses | without the achievement of any par- ticular success. In the east the enemy had pressed gallant armies of Russia back some hundred miles, and the Balkans had just been overrun by the central powers. “The overwhelming victorles won by the valiant soldiers of Russia have struck terror into the hearts of our foes, and these, coupled with the im- mortal defense of Verdun by our in- domitable French comrades and the brave resistance of the Italians against overwhelming odds in the southern Alps, have changed the whole complexion of the landscape. Equipment Is Answer. “Why have our prospects im- proved? The answer is the equipment of our armies has improved enor- mously and is continuing to improve. “The British navy until recently has absorbed more than half the metal workers of this country. The task of building new ships and re- pairing the old ones for the gigantic navy, and fitting and equipping them, occupies the energles of a million men. Most of our new factories are now complete; most of the machinery has been set up. Hundreds of thou- sands of men and women, hitherto unaccustomed to metal and chemical work, have been trained for muni- ions making. “Every month we are turning out hundreds of guns and howitzers, light, medium and heavy. Our heavy guns are rolling in at a great rate and we our ammunition in a single week—and, what is more, nearly three times as much heavy shell—as we fired in the great offens in September, although the ammunition we expended in that battle was the result of many weary weeks’ accumulation. The new fac- tories and workshops we have set up have not vet attained one-third their full capacity, but their output is now increasing with great rapidity. Our main difficulties in organization, con- struction, equipment, labor supply and readjustment have been solved. If officials, employers and workmen keep at it with the same zeal and as- siduity as they have hitherto en- ployed our supplies soon will be over- whelming. “I cannot help thinking that the improvement in the Russian ammuni- tion has been one of the greatest and most unpleasant sarprises the enemy has sustained. Still, our task is but half accomplished. Every great bat- tle furnishes additional proof that this is a war of equipment. More ammuni- tion means more victories and fewer casualties.” SITS TN WILSON'S CHAR Member of Deutschland’s Crew En- joys Unique Experience While His Comrades Grin—Party Arrested. Washington, July 14.—Six members of the crew of the German subma- rine Deutschland came to Washington yesterday in automobile which two flags, “fore and aft,” the German and the American. They ar- rived at such a rapid gait that a diligent police officer haled them into court on a charge of speeding. After a fine of $5 was assessed several resi- dents of ‘Washington interceded in their behalf and had the money re- funded. The seamen visited many of the public buildings in company with sev- eral residents of the city who are of German birth. They attracted much attention in the streets. A White House attache showed them through the East, Blue and Red rooms, the Cabinet room and Presi- dent Wilson’s private office. One of the youngsters asked per- mission to sit in the president’s chair at the head of the Cabinet table, and he did it while his comrades grinned. All were much interested in the war maps showing the positions of the armies in Europe, and they pointed to the names of their home towns in Germany. At the Navy department Assistant Secretary Roosevelt received the men and congratulated them in German upon their voyage. They inspected historic naval relies in Secretary Dan- iels' office, including the flag of the ill-fated American submarine F-4, | which sank with twenty-one men. an flew STORE CLOSED FRIDAYS AT NOON, UNTIL SEPTEMBER 8, INCLUSIVE BLUE SERGE DAY AT HOLLANDERS’ SATURDAY, JULY 15th AKE sure of a guaranteed dye in Blue Serge by buying the Blue Serge Suit here.
