The government has been forced to confess this, for the suspension of the entire passenger service on the railways f nr in osvs can onlr be regarded as such a confession. Moreover, In stating the .reasons for this measure, it it acknowl edged that the coal and potato supply to the towns is in a very precarious state. -- "In a large' number of towns the po tmtn khiirftn lii even more alarmine than the coal shortage.

Dutch Government Shies at Military Pact With Belgians Br Leo sold Aletrla. ipedsl Cable to The Journal and Tbs Chlcase (Ooprrfcbt. 1B19. br Cbfcaco Daily Wees Co.) Amsterdam. Holland, Dee. 27. From an authoritative source I am informed that the Belgian-Dutch negotiations have led onjy to an economic agree ment The Dutch government Is unwilling to enter into any military compact with Belgium and will confine itself to the statement that it will look upon any Invasion of Dutch Llmbuxg as an act of war. For the rest. It will Join the League of Nations and accept all' Its obligations. , Political circles here' are satisfied with tha success of the Dutch dlDlomats In Parts, although the economical agree- ment has not yet been published. They are rejoiced that Holland Is to keep a free hand in the Question of military defense. The Belgian and Dutch delegates will meet again January 5 to settle all ques tions not yet decided. Prisoner of War Conference Bides Time in Denmark By Gordon Stiles Special Ciblt to The Journal and ,Th Chicago Daily News. Copenhagen, Denmark, Dec t. The prisoners of war conference In Copen hagen is marking time while J. O'Qrady, M. P.. is understood to be waiting for word from London as to whether he can act for neutral powers In the matter. Although the Scandinavian countries will do their own negotiating, Swltzer land, Spain and France have nationals in soviet Russia and Mr. O'Grady has been requested to look after the Inter ests of some of them. It is considered possible that the supreme war council In Paris will appoint a commission to take part In the conference here. There are a number of Germans in Copenhagen who, it is not unlikely, may .represent the radical interests of Germany here. They propose to get In touch with Maxim Litvinoff, the Bol shevist delegate, but so far It has not been shown that any conferences have taken place. BRITISH ROYALTY CUTS COURT.DRESSEXPENSE; FREAK GOWNS Tj MED v Dressmakers Not Enthusiastic at Outlook-,' Old Aristocracy Un able to Pay High Prices. London. Dec tSrU. N. & No Per sian skirts of the trousered variety, no barebacked or low bodlced gowns and no abbreviated skirts are to be tolerated at royal functions at Buckingham pal ace. It was learned today. An Intima tion from the king's lord chamberlain settled that. Freak and Immodest crowns are tabooed. But the debutantes and court ladies are wondering Just what they may wear, The fate of the traditional court dress is in the balance, owing to the sym pathy the reigning house has with the old aristocracy who no longer are able to afford pre-war court standards of dress, but whom the king and queen do not wish to debar from court func tions. So London society Is expecting that pre-war court regulations which require a nine-foot train from the shoulders, elbow white kid gloves, a 45-lnch veil and fine feathers worn in the hair, may be relaxed. Besides, a ' modest court dress costs $300. But a fortune can be spent on a train. Court dressmakers are not enthusiastic over the outlook. the worst time of .the war' and the lines are composed almost entirely of laborers and peasants, -t -.The peasant are no longer content to boy characteristic provincial trinkets In 14 karat gold, as in tho day before toe war, but they aemano tnac tney anau be in IS karat,' aa they did In Holland's golden age. - Former Hungarian Premier Implicated In Murder of Tisza .

For the first time in more than a century the Rotterdam tax bureau has collected more than 10, 000 florins ($4000) in one month on ob jects of gold and silver. That It.

While the British government, despite protests of labor members of parliament, has cut off doles to unemployed, it has been very careful to- continue unemployment pay to ex-soldiers. Thus, while civilians un able - to get work must shift for them selves, the ex-service men and widows of soldiers will be taken care of until they can find Jobs. Some 344,000 men are affected. Statistics show that there is less unemployment in England today than during the 15 years average before the war.
