TUB TTAOri:. Holland. Sept 10. The
anger of the Dutch people over the
Jack of potatoes for Holland, while
largo quantities were being shipped out
of the country burst out in llotterdam
recently when it was learned that
liarses had arrived with potatoes for
export to F.npland. The potato ration
for Holland lately had been reduced
and during the last few weeks scarcely
had been obtainable. So when word
was passed out that the peoples food
was now to go out of the country be
fore the people themselves had been
satisfied, the mobs became furious and
stormed and plundered several barges
before they could be hauled away to
-ife "ru.rters.
The ministers in parliament were in
terpellated about this export and the
following explanation was given:
"Holland is bound by treaties to ex
port per cent of its potatoes to Ger
many and 1'5 per cent to EnRland. The
other r.O per cent, which is ample to
cover all national requirements, is for
home consumption." A Bay or two later
the British legation at The Hague sent
out communications to the press where
. in the export appeared in a somewhat
different light.
Kngland Ak Mi ore.
From the explanation it appeared
that Kngland did not in any way insist
on petting its share of -5 per cent
unless Germany insisted on getting its
- per cent share, in which case the
treaty provided that the export to
Kncland was to precede export to Ger
many. "So," the communication added, "the
Xutch; government has the matter in
its own hands. If it wishes to keep
all the potatoes of the old and new
crop in Holland to feed its own people,
it is quite at liberty to do so as far
as Kngland is concerned. Only in case
Holland insists on exporting potatoes
to (Jppmany Kngland will insist in get
ting its share, not in order to make
food difficulties for the Dutch, but only
to prevent the feeding on a large scale
of Germany by Holland."
When this became generally known
the anger of the populace turned
against Minister Posthuma and partial
ly against the capitalists and big ex
porters, who. as the mob puts it, are
making money out of the starvation of
their own countrymen and compatriots.
In Amsterdam about H000 persons,
mostly w'omen. were having a potato
hunger parade in quite an orderly man
ner, when a little incident roused their
anger. In a moment a house was
stormed and a shop plundered. Then the
paraders ran to the vegetable market
and stormed some warehouses and
divided the plunder. Then they heard
of the potatoes for export and some
marched for the barges and some for
the trucks on the railway embankment.
Three Killed on Street.
In a moment three trucks were emp
tied of their contents and while the
people were busy fighting for their
share the police, who had requested
military assistance, hauled untouched
trucks of potatoes to a safe distance
"and when the military arrived they in
terposed a strong cordon between the
people and their prey. Gradually, as
every man, woman and child had suc
ceeded in getting aprons, caps and
pockets full of potatoes, the crowd
retired, but after a while more and
other people passed and as they were

returning from their work and the
temper of the mob assumed a threaten
ing character toward every regular
fighting man going to the labor
quarters, Kattenbury, the Gordaan and
the island, trucks were hauled by the
soldiers, barricades were thrown up and
several times police and military had to
charge the mob to order to compel them
to remain in the laboring quarters and
keep them from further depredation.
Here and .there companies of soldiers
were obliged to fire on the people and
three deaths resulted.
CHINESE MISSION NEXT?
Washington Looks for Visit of An
other Oriental Group Soon.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26. Whether
China shall send a war mist-ion to the
L'nited states, following the example
of other nations associated with Amer
ica in the war. depends upon the wishes
of the State Department. Dr. Koo, the
Chinese Minister, recently conferred
briefly with Secretary of State Lans
ing, but neither would discuss the sub
ject of the interview.
It waW learned authoritatively, how
ever, that China is desirous of co-operating
with the United States in the
war in every possible way, even in the
point of furnishing as many men as
may be required, in this respect China
being superior to any other country at
war. To train and transport an army,
involving a cost of only a third of the
expense attached to the creation of
military forces in other countries, id
beyond China's financial power, and for
that reason she would depend upon
either the I'nited States or Japan for
monetary assistance.
It is considered likely that a Chinese
mission will visit America soon- after
the departure of the Japanese mitssion.
and that the question of finance will
be one of the principal subjects to be
considered. In addition, China will de
sire America's aid in freeing herself
of some of the restrictions imposed
upon her in past decades by the Im
perial policies of most of the European
countries.
The Chinese Admiralty has appealed
to the disloyal commanders of two
cruisers, one destroyer and thre gun
boats to return to their allegiance.
They had sided with the southern revo
lutionists, who had refused to recog
nize the Peking government as consti
tutional, owing to the alleged illegal
dissolution of Parliament. These ves
sels deserted the -navy and went to
Canton. the' southern revolutionary
stronghold. Chinese here assert that
since the declaration of ' war against
Germany and Austria, all Chinese par
ties have united.
