Hollanders torJav b'arj mckin "morlogsbrood" or warbread. Holland is confronted with a short aee of food, especially flour. There is hut. two weeks' supply of wheat and flour in the country, I was informed at Th.r llasue. So serit us i.s the shortage, so poor is trie prospect of replenishing the sup plies from America, that the govern ment has decreed that there shall be no more baking of pure wheat bread, the decree going Into effect, toaay. The excellent wheat bread rolls which made it. for an American, worth while to make a trip from Germany even to iniiulge in them for a day. probably will die-appear, or at best, will have a Bray war lone, as in Germany. Country Dependent on America. Th. Dutch people afe wholly de pendent on America for their bread. They hardly raise a fifth of the wheat consumed. England is more and more cutting down Holland' food supplies from America. lest the Dutch may have something over and let it Blip across the line into Germany. Disasters by torpedoing and mines have wrecked or destroyed so many Dutch ships, together with the strike of sailors on the Holland-America line and England's tightening: of the block ade, that It has been impossible for the Dutch to get their daily bread. One ship with wheat is In a dam aged condition in an English port; two other ships are said to be held there, and 45.000 tons of wheat purchased for Holland are awaiting shipment in America. The Holland-America line having cut a 50 per cent war melon, ltd sailors demanded an increase of pay. in view of their dangers. 0 The strike was settled today. The Ttvndam will sail for New York and return with a cargo of wheat. Itrltaln Throttling; Holland. "In trying to use Holland as a gar rote on Germany Knxland seems to forpet that i-h's throttling us." said an official. 'The result of the increas ing pressure onv Holland of the Eng lish measures against Germany is a uri.wing i-entiment against England. The sturdy Ditch burghers, when they pour out their hearts, have things also to say about America which must make Uncle Sam's ears burn. "Holland cannot help herself: it must put up with everything because it is j-mail; but that the United States, a fcreat nation, willinsly submits to in terference witli her rights by both tides is beyond our understanding," I was toid. Deep bitterness especially prevails in bai.king and important business circles, and quarters closely in touch with the government, because "'aah lntoa is not thowing more energy and visor against the holding up of first cla4 mails. Krabarico at Border strict. The language of the Dutch Govern ment, in its protests. I was told, was far more forceful than that of Wash ington; but it was declared that so Jong a.i Washington. did not use more forcefulness in its protests the offend ing powers certainly would not pay the t-lightest attention to small neu trals. The Dutch have put up barriers at the border against exports or smug gling into Gedmany that should leave JOngland no cause for complaint. The Dutch customs officials and guords go to ridiculous extremes. Travelers may rot take any articles whatever out of the country, even for personal use, as 1 discovered today. For having several cakes of a pop ular English soap and two pounds of chocolate candy in my possession I was taken off a train at Old'ensaal. on the Dutch border, as a smuggler. The articles were solemnly declared con fiscated, and I was held until my train had- departed. Even a sandwich bought at Oidensaal may be taken across the line, only in one's stomach- Border gaardd examine the trucks of tho train, crawl under the seats in cars, with flash lamps, and take up the cushions frora the seats, lest a pice of bread b smuggled into Ger many.' The military on the German side cf tho border lo not examine baggage more closely for communications than do tne Dutch for articles of food. 110B OFFICERS ARE LOST RKITI!!

Since the inauguration of the policy'of the Democratic Administra tion in the Philippine, according to C. B. Compton. who has returned here to take charge of orchard properties Jn the Dee district aftr a 16-year resi dence in the islands, a complete and depressing change has taken place in the Insular business conditions. "Because of the methods of Governor General Harrison, President Wilson's appointee, whose very move has been to favor island politicians in opposition to the interests of American business men, a decided bitterness against the Administration has been engendered." said Air. Compton, who during his resi dence in Manila had been connected LATEST OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS French. T3ARI5. April 22. The text of today's X official statement is: "In Belgium our artillery energeti cally cannonaded the sector east of the T pres-PIlkelm road during an action at this point by British troops. "West of the Meuse the enemy dur ing the night attacked our positions on the slopes north of Dead Man's Hill. The Germans, who had succeeded In gaining a foothold In our first line, were ejected soon after by a counter attack, which won back; for us all the terrain -previously .conquered by us.. Another attack, in which liquid fire was used, was delivered against our trenches north of the Caurettes wood. It was completely repulsed. "East of the Meuse, at the close of the day yesterday, following an in tense bombardment of our lines from the Meuse as far as , Fort Vaux. the Germans brought up large bodies of troops into their trenches on the front Dei ween the fond and Fort vaux in preparation for an attack. Artillery bombardments immediately launched prevented an advance and caused seri ous losses to the enemy. "In "Le Petre wood there was some fighting between patrols." The following supplementary report was issued tonlgrhfc - "In the Argonne mine fighting has been carried out quite actively at Vau quuis and La Fille Morte. We bom barded the roads of communication be hind the enemy front. "West of the Meuse, after a violent bombardment, the .Germans launched two successive attacks against our po sitions between Le Mort Homme and the Eethincourt stream, but on both occasions our curtain of fire and the fire of our machine guns compelled the enemy to return to his trenches, in flicting on him considerable losses. "East of the Meuse our first and sec ond lines were bombarded quite severe ly. In the Woevre the day was com paratitvely calm. "One of our long-range guns shelled the station at Vlgneulles. northeast of St. Michael. A fire broke out In a building adjacent to the station. The railway was cut. "One of our bombarding squadrons dropped 20 shells on enemy bivouacs near Azannes and Vlllers-les-Man-giennes, northeast of Verdun. "Army of the East. In reply to a raid by enemy aeroplanes on a village on the Greek frontier, one of our aeroplanes dropped four bombs on the town of Pbfla." . v German. BERLIN, via London. April 22.

The enemy "reoccupled about one-third of tho positions. "On both sides of La Baseee Canal with the leading newspapers of the islands. "A good many Americans in the Government service have been dis missed. Formerly no politics existed among- the Americans on the islands. Today criticisms directed against Mr. Harrison are very severe. Many Amer icans are withdrawing their invest ments and are leaving for Shanghai." Policies Hart Property. According to the returned newspaper man. the policies adopted by Governor General Harrison have caused,jroperty values to drop to the bottom. "Manila real estate that formerly sold for three pesos, in gold $1.50, cannot now be sold for one peso per yard," said Mr. Comp ton. "I do ' not say these things to knock Manila! . I myself own property there. My statement simply gives the facts." - Mr. Compton said th4t Governor General Harrison, a Tammany man and formerly State Senator in New York, has been indifferent in his relation ships with American business interests. "He has never attended a meeting of the Manila Business Men's Association," he Bald. . Natives Thought Unready. The majority of Americans In the Is lands. according to Mr. Compton. do not think the natives of the Philip pines are fitted for . independence for years to come. "It is my personal opin ion," said Mr. Compton. "that we should, as soon as it can consistently be done, give the Filipinos their inde pendence, that i.s, if we conform strict ly to the Monroe Doctrine. But I think it will be from 20 to 25 years before they are fitted to maintain a self-government. - "Japan disavows any intention of coveting-the Islands. But to every American in the prient is it apparent that she looks longingly toward the archipelago. At present the islands have a Japanese population of about 10,000. About 70,000 Chinese reside in the islands." - We exploded a few mines with good results. "Enemy fire upon the towns of Lens and Roye resulted in further vic tims among the civil population. At Roye one' child was killed and two women and a child Injured. "In the Argonne we destroyed French outpost positions on the hill of La Fille Morte by mine explosions. We occupied an extensive cater be fore our front. "West of the Meuse the French re peated. their, efforts In the region of Dead Man's Hill. They twice bom barded with' combined artillery and machine gun both .banks of the river. Trie third attack broke down with hea- losses before our positions. "Fierce hand grenade engagements for a tiench section in the neighbor hood of Caurettes-wood resulted in our recovering this section toward even ing. During the night, the French again succeeded in obtaining a foot hold in this wood.

"Northwest of Fresnes-en-Woevre prisoners were taken belonging to the One Hundred and Fifiy-fourth French division. This proves that in the region between this town, and Avocourt, since February 21, 38 divisions were em ployed, of which four divisions, after a, long rest, were reinforced by fresh drafts taken chiefly from the recruits of the class of 1916, who were brought Into the battle and beater.

Proposal to Divide Hapsburs; Monarchy Into Small Autonomous States , Received With Suspicion. LONDON. April 22. The Daily Tele graph's Milan correspondent says that a significant symptom regarding the Hapsburg .-monarchy is shown by an outburst of the Hungarian newspapers in favor, of peace Premier Asquith's recent speech regarding peace condi tions, the dispatch says, hs been, com mended by Hungarians, who are anx ious on account of German aggressive ness respecting small nationalities at the end of the war. In connection with the visit to Ber lin made by Baron Burian, Austro Hungarian Foreign Minister, it Is sug gested that -Germany proposed that the Hapsburg monarchy should be divided Into small autonomous states, presum ably in order that they may bo mora easily swallowed up by Germany. The Slav nationalities, it is -hinted, are to receive the minimum of liberty, Galicia also receiving autonomy. The correspondent says that the Hun garians have taken umbrage, feeling that their turn would come next and that the Magyars would thus succumb to German predominance. .Woman Appointed Postmaster.

Berlin concedes a French gain in the Caurettes wood, just to the west of the Meuse, where trenches have fre quently changed hands. Toward the northern end of the west ern battle line, the British have suc ceeded in regaining a part of the ground recently lost to the north of Ypres, their attack resulting in the re capture of about 200 yards of the 600 captured by the Germans on April 19. The Russian troops which landed at Marseilles on Thursday are already on their way north, presumably to the fighting front, passing through the city of Lyons on Saturday. They re ceived an enthusiastic greeting all along the route. The British campaign against Ger man East Africa is being actively en gaged and General Smuts, in command, has reported the occupation of Cm buguwe and Salanga. which places columns of the expeditionary . forces some 100 miles inside the border of the German colony.

The Turks recaptured the positions the British had previously taken, and with them 12 machine guns and a few pris oners. A subsequent attack on April 19 was repulsed. Constantinople reports a 200-mile flight over the desert of a Turkish aero plane, which successfully bombarded a British camp at El Kantara on the Suez Canal and returned safely. The American note to Germany has been sent to army headquarters, where it is in the hands of Emperor William, Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg and General von Falkenhayn, chief- of the general staff.
