DUTCH QUEEN
HOLDS HUSBAND
WAR PRISONER
ROYAI rn-KOPT HELD PRISONER BY QUEEN.
Prince Consort, Who Is German. Vio
lated Holland's Neutrality By
Smuggling German Officers Out of
Internment Camps Back to Native
Land Is Deprived of Liberty.
LONDON, June 19. The husband
of the queen of Holland Is today vir
tually a iirlnsoncr of war. Ills cap
tors are his wife's own subjects. All
his actions are under surveillance.
Jinny parts of his wife's kingdom are
barred against him.
Vloliitl .Neutrality.
All this is because the prince con
sort, who Is a German, violated Dutch
neutrality by sihurrIIiik three Ger
man army officers out of Internment
camps back to their native land.
The Hollanders, Including their
queen, fear he will try It again.
The prlnco consort, before his mar
riage, was Duke Helnrich Vladimir
Albert Krnest of Mocklcnburg
Schworln. The queen met him first while on a
visit to the kaiser's palace at Pots
dam. The kaiser aspired to see his
second son married to the Dutch
queen.
Tho prince consort's Germnnic sym
pathies have been manifested many
times since war began.
The smuggling out of tile German
officers was the final act, compromis
ing tho Dutch nation to a point that
required drastic action.
.Aid by Prince Omsort.
Ttclluhle reports describe the smug
gling as highly dramatic. The three
officers wore old-time friends of tho
consort. Without violating Dutch
neutrality they could not leave Ho!
land. They appealed to their old
friend, the prince consort. Ho prom
ised help.
".Meet me at midnight tonight," he
told them, naming a secluded spot.
There they were met by tho prince in
his closed automobile.
Quickly tho four sped toward the
border, light low and full power on.
"Hall!" cried a Dutch sentry as
tho border was neared.
Tho prince consort was all indigna
tion. "Who nro you to stop me?" he
cried in passionnto Indignation. "I
am your superior officer and the
prince consort! stand back quickly or
it will bo worse for you! I am on your
queen's business!"
Iwt JVInco (Jo Hy.
Tho sentry was all apology. Ho
saw none In tho car hut tho prince
consort. Ho feared to halt the royal
equippago longer, and allowed it to
pass.
Quickly then the big machine speil
over tho border, discharged its three
German officers and sped home.
Not for some days was tho secret
learned.
Then Franco anil Ilritaln were
aroused nml made protest to the Hol
land government. "Something must
bo done, and I Ills must not happen
again." Ilallond's position was deli
cate. The protests were diplomatic
ally worded, but they were stern. t
So the princo consort has been
practically deprived of Ills liberty.
(JiMM'ii iels Ivven.
Queen Wiihelnilna Is as determined
ns any there shall be no more such
pro-German operations in her country.
J.nlig auo It was repmtiMl the queen
and her husband were not getting
along well together, and it was even
said the German husband ii;id shipped
his royal wife.
Maybe, the comuii'iit runs, the
queen finds It pleasant to luive such
good excuse for gling a twist to ih"
turbulent German temper that was

The real struggle, the speaker said,
was between the Gemuin ideal nnd
the American ideal. ., "Civilization,"
said Mr. Piper, in piiraphrnMiur Lin
coln's famous utterance on slavery,
"cannot survive with one-half the
world autocracy and the other half
democracy. One of the other must
win n complete victory."
Pointing out that victory for the
allies and the defeat of Oermmiy wa.s
entirely up to the Tinted States, Mr.
Piper said that France had reached
the zenith of her powers, Knelami on

people, living In the heart of Europe,

Democracy Cluillengccl
"It Is difficult in this beautiful val
ley, to visualize the grim visage of
war. Those cherished principles of
our government, liberty, equality,
freedom and opportunity, we accept,
as we accept our eye-sight as a matter
of course. It would be a frightful
catastrophe to lose one's eyesight
and as we feast upon the neautles
about us, it Is difficult to conceive of
our world turned suddenly Into
world of despair and darkness. And
yet It Is precisely that prospect that
we face. If our civilization is to sur
vive, it can only survive through our
own efforts and by our own energy
and sacrifice. We are challenged
now as we were In 1776 and 1SG1, to
see whether or not this country, born
in freedom and equality, is to survive.
As Abraham Lincoln said, no nation
can survive half slave and half free,
I say no civilization can survive
half democracy and half autocracy. It
must be all one or all the other.
"Don't think, my fellow citizens.
that this is to be a short war. That
peace will come ere your sacrifice is
needed. This war will not end this
year, nor next year, It may not end in
three or four years, anu whether or
not it ends in victory or defeat, de
pends upon you people here, just as It
depends upon the people throughout
the country."
