WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. Holland has
erected a practical government monop
oly of the importation into The Neth
erlands of flour, foodstuffs, cereals and
cattle foods. The State Department
ays tonight that The Netherlands gov
ernment had entered into an agreement
with the Holland-American line, the
only neutral steamship line plying reg
ularly between ports in the United
States and The Netherlands, whereby
private shipments would not be ac
cepted by that steamship line.
Definite information as to Holland's
position had been sought by American
millers, who protested to the State De
partment that the action of Holland, if
followed by other neutral countries
would demoralize the American flour
trade.
Private Consignments Barred.
The following statement was Issued
en the subject by Counsellor Robert
Lansing:
"The Department of State has been
informed by Minister Van Dyke that
The Netherlands government has made
a contract with the Holland-American
Line, whereby the ships of that line
carrying cargo bought by or consigned
to The Netherlands government will not
accept private consignments of contra
band or conditional contraband, thereby
creating a practical governmental mon
opoly of cargoes of cereals and cat
tle foods. Shipments of flour and other
foodstuffs consigned to private firms
In Holland will not be barred from
Dutch ports when carried in American
or other neutral vessels, but Holland
American liners cannot accept such
shipments.
Permission Most Be Obtained.
"The Netherlands government does
not intend to forbid the fulfillment of
private contracts for shipments of such
goods made before the war, but under
existing conditions private Dutch im
porters having such contracts for
American foodstuffs should apply to
the Department of Commerce of The
Netherlands government for permission
to have such goods consigned to or
bought by the Dutch government."
While State Department officials re
fused to make further comment, it is
known that the American Government
has no way of interfering with such a
monopoly as Holland has created Ger
many and Austria have oil and tobacco
monopolies, respecticely.
Just what efforts would be made by
millers to obtain ships that would carry
their flour to Dutch ports is not known
here, but a move in that direction
seemed to officials to offer a possible
solution of the problem. Otherwise the
effect of the monopoly will be, it Is be
lieved, to bring The Netherlands gov
ernment into the market as a purchaser
or riour. witn the probability that Hoi
land would force American dealers to
sell at a lower price than that at which
other nations obtain.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11. Exports at
10 principal American ports for the
week ending November 7 exceeded the

today, although there were but five
business days that week because of
elections.
The Imports totalled $26,129,895 and

"On the rest of the front the general
situation shows no change, with the
exception of slight progress by our

these points, the state of the weather

COAST PORTS ARE CHIEF AIM
Germans to Fig-lit Desperately to
Gain IXutkjlrk and Calais.
LONDON." I'''- 11. The Morning
Post's correspondent in North Belgium
says that to seize and hold ' Dunkirk
and Calais is believed there to be Em
peror William's ardent desire and that
it is certain a desperate emort will be
made to achieve this aim.
The correspondent adds that he learns
from Berlin that 80 trainloads of Ger
man cavalry, drawn from France and
Belgium, have left Belgium for Posen
in the last three days.
'This weakening of the Germans
cavalry, he says, "is due to the fact
that the fighting in Flanders is largely
confined to the artillery and infantry,
while cavalry reinforcements are ur
gently needed to deal with the Cos
sacks, who are advancing with menac
ing rapidity on the eastern frontier. It
is further said that German strategy
in Flanders has been the subject of se
vere criticism in military quarters at
Berlin and that General von Kluck has
been taken to task by the Emperor
himself, although General von Kluck
believed that he had acted throughout
as the executant of imperial orders.
It is alleged that Germany paid Tur
key as the price of her intervention in
the war 200,000,000 marks ($40,000,-
000.)."
BRUSSELS FREED OF VAST ARMY
Refugees Say Artillery Work of Brit
ish Warships Most Accurate.
LONDON, Nov. 11. A dispatch from
Brussels to the Times says:
There are hardly any German sol
diers left in Brussels. All except th
necessary garrison have been sent to
the front.
Refugees from the coast describe
the artillery work of the British war
ships as most accurate. A wounded
German officer declares that only 84
men of his regiment of 1000 men are
alive after the fighting on the coast.
"Despite the praiseworthy efforts of
the food commission, the people have
the greatest difficulty in obtaining
bread and flour. The entire population
of Brussels is. on rations. The bakers
distribute their wares sparingly, as the
law allows them to charge not more
than 6 cents loaf. Potatoes and
meat, however, are plentiful."

could not collect wages due him.
Subscriptions for Lococo's family be

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11. The story
of Joseph Lococo. who shot George
Gray, a contractor, in San , Francisco

the slayer. Several persons called upon
officers and the offices of news asso

Lococo family. George Hazen, a mer
chant; L. Lee Dabbs. a banker from
Oklahoma, and others made up a purse
to be sent to Mrs. Lococo.
Mrs. Margaret Gray, divorced wife of
George Gray, the contractor who was
shot and killed yesterday by Joseph
Lococo. declared tonight that she bad
no unkindly feeling toward Lococo, de
spite the fact that the shots he fired
robbed her son and daughter of their
father.
"I wish the man all the luck in the
world, said Mrs. Gray. I have not a
bit of feeling against him. My sym
pathies go out to his wife and their
babies."
These sentiments were echoed by
Mrs. Mildred Wlmberly, of Los An

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11. A central
committee to take charge of Belgian
relief work in the United States and
co-operate with the international com
mittee abroad will be designated by
President Wilson as a result of a con
ference tonight between the President
and Secretary Bryan at the White
House. Such a committee would have
no official standing.
Secretary Bryan, the German Am
bassador. Count Von Bernstorff; As
slstant Secretary of State Phyipps and
Hueh W'allace. of wasnington. cw
cussed the Belgian relief situation at
the State Department earlier in the day
and later Mr. Philipps sent a letter to
the President containing a recom

Page in London that a central com
mittee be named.
The object of the central committee
would be to co-ordinate the work pf
various committees and organizations
which have inaugurated movements to
relieve the sufferings of the Belgians,
thus saving expense and simplifying
the situation.
It was understood Count von Bern
storff informed Mr. Bryan there was no
ground for a report that the German
government plans to stop the sending
of supplies to Belgians until they go
to work. At the same time It was said
that the Washington Government en-
tirely approved the idea of putting the
Belgians to work whenever possible.
AID BY GERMAN'S IS DENTED
Antwerp Says Grain and Flour Are
Paid For by Belgians.
ANTWERP, Nov. 11. (Via London.)
A statement published in the Lokal
Anzeiger, of Berlin, that Germany was
furnishing coal for the Antwerp gas
works and fuel for the people of the
city caused an investigation to ascer
tain the correctness of this declaration.
As a result it is now declared that
the coal purchased by Germany has
not yet been delivered, and that the
flour and grain supplied to the local
population are from the stocks seized
by Germany on the fall of Antwerp.
Furthermore, the Central Belgian com
mittee has paid the Germans for these
supplies.
The German authorities permit the
local population to buy salt, which
comes from Germany, and the allega
tion Is made that this commodity is
sold to the Belgians at high "prices.

A person suffering with backache,
muscular pains, dizzy spells, headache,
nervousness, sleeplessness, disordered
urination and other signs of kidney
weakness should help the kidneys im
mediately with a good medicine; but
should also quit doing the things that

Act promptly, for neglected kidney

There is no other medicine for sick
kidneys so well known, so generally

The patient should help the medicine,
however, by care as to diet, regular
