Lord Beresford Thinks
The Naval Policy Is Poor
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London, Dec. 21. Lord Charles
Beresford's latest pronouncement on
naval matters is a plea for a thorough
and far-reachine reconstruction of
Great Britain's entire naval policy. In
an appeal to the British public he
says:
"The present position with regard to
the future suddIv of our food and raw
materials is, in my opinion, one 01
unoaralleled eravitv. Anv hiatus
the lines of communication of our
ocean-borne traffic would create an
appalling state of affairs, particularly
as we shall soon have to take steps to
revictual the country.
Xhe new strategy and tactics that
have been developed in submarine
warfare, changing the area of attack
from headlands and shallow waters to
the deep sea, require strategy and tac
tics to meet and beat tnese develop
ments. Submarine warfare in its fresh
maniDulations must have definite svs-
tematic measures for its suppression.
"The navv has been hampered by
political exigencies involving in many
cases a policy of defense instead of
attack. Take the case with regard to
the arming of merchant ships. As
the armament consists of a gun
mounted astern, a British merchant
ship, on seeing a submarine, has to
put its helm up, expose its broadsides
or largest target to tne suomarine,
and run away m order to get its gun
to bear, increasing its range every sec
ond, making it more difficult to hit
the enemy and adopting a method
total v ooDosed to british traditions
and particularly disgusting to the gal
lant officers and men of the mercan
tile marine by assuming an attitude
of defense instead ot attack. Ihe tra
ditional policy which has made the
British empire what it is has been at
tack, and always attack, at sea.
There may be diplomatic dim
culties connected with the arming of
merchant vessels for attack, but surely
these difficulties could easily be sur
mounted. Germany has directly dial
lenged us, and has cut and stopped
our route to Holland, a short distance
of about eighty miles. The war staff
should immediately set to work to de
vise means tor opening he line ot
communication between this country
and Holland.
Government Laborers Now
Get Twelve Cents Per Hour
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Panama, Dec. 8. The board ap
pointed by Acting Governor Harding
to consider a revision of wages and
conditions . of employment of alien
canal laborers, mostly negroes, has
granted an increase of about 20 per
cent in pay to the lowest paid labor
ers. making the minimum wage 12 in
stead ot 1U cants an nour. Minor
increases are given for the more
skilled labor, and those on hazardous
jobs. The new wage scale goes into
ettect January 1. 1 he board went on
record as recognizing the obligation

The desirability of housing the em

recommended an additional appropna.

has military aspects, as during the re.

ANY DAY
HAGUE PROSPECTS
ON PEACE0UTL00K
All Holland Anxiously Awaits
Next Movement and Mean
while Watches Warily.
DANGERS SURROUND DUTCH
(Correspondence of The Associated Preaa.)
The Hague, Netherlands, Jan. 10.
The peace outlook constitutes the one
absorbing topic in the Netherlands
and more than adequate explanation
of the Hollander's interest in the
latest turn of events is afforded by
a glance at the burdens, problems and
anxieties which the last twelve
months have brought the Dutch na
tion and its rulers. As another year
opens the watchword still is unceas
ing vigilance not only with respect
to the country's defense and its for
eign policy, but in the economic rtahn
in regard to the supply ot tne r. w ma
terials for its industries and public
services and of the food of its people.
hor though some politicians arc al
ready beginning to talk about entire
or partial demobilization if the peace
wind blows at all favorably, it ap
pears quite certain that not a regi
ment will be disbanded until the
peace treaty has been actually signed
and the belligerents themselves be
gin demobilization, for Holland
knows full well that even the peace
congress may bring its own dangers
lor the nation that holds ine mourns
of Ihe great northern European wa
terways. 1 he prime minister nim
self, tort van tier Linden, has only
just again told the chamber that "the
government still considers there is
danger of the country being drawn
into the war. It can by no means
admit," he added, "that the danger
grows less the longer the war lasts,
but in existing circumstances regards
it as essential that an adequate de
fense force shall be immediately
available for the energetic main
tenance of our neutrality." And the
chamber, including the socialists, has
once more unanimously passed the
bills prolonging the term of the men
with the colors.
More Munitions.
Howere. in the two and half years
of mobilization the trained army re
serve has been increased by over luu,-
000 men, and all of the sixteen levies
under arms in August, 1K14, nave now
been relieved by newly-trained troops
and sent home on indefinite leave.
The munition sunolies have been cor.
respondingly reinforced. Notwith
standing what has been achieved,
however, there is sharp criticism ot
the army and its administrations. The
bitterest attacks are constantly made
on the minister of war, and Major
General N. Bosboom s position would
seem to be none too secure. Empha
sis is particularly laid on the con
tinued lack of artillery in which the
army was notoriously weak when
war broke out of anti-aircraft guns
and aircraft.
Sn far as the no ittcal situation is
concerned, the oremier and his liberal.
extra-parliamentary cabinet still ap
pear to be firmly seated in the sad
dle althounh voices are heard on the
right in favor of a coalition ministry
The general election it due next June,
but neaotiations are on foot to post
pone the actual electoral struggle un
til 1918, when there would in any
case have to be a fresh election if
the revised constitution finally passes,
and that an efection on the new pro
portional representation system. The
suggested idea is that the present
nartv seats snail not oe cnauengea in
June next, this meaning the practical
re-election ot the present cnamner.
Incidentally there is some discontent
with the prime minister's refusal to
Dronose a revision of the constitution
cancelling any potentional claims of
foreign, l. e., Oerman princes, to the
throne. It is said here that the queen
is ODDOsed to such a step, but it is
also believed the premier fears giving
offense to the foreign power most
interested.
Frontier Aroused.
As to the state of affairs in the
country itself, there is still consid
erable ferment in the frontier region,
Despite the continual seizures ot
goods and the frequent shooting fa
talities, large bands of men continue
to engage in smuggling; even soldiers
are catiKht at it from time to time.
Another regular leature in the border
lands is the considerable influx of
escaped prisoners of war and desert
ers, whose ranks have recently been
reinforced by numbers of fleeing Bel
gian and Polish civilians.
In the economic realm the food
supply is the government s chief con
cern. The outlook has just been
painted in somewhat gloomy colors
by the minister of agriculture, in
view of the grain situation in America
and elsewhere and the shortage o(
cargo space. On the other hand, the
system of distribution adopted is
severely criticized. At present the
citizen buys many foodstuffs at less
than the actual market pri:e, and will
sooner or later have to pay the bal
ance in taxes. The arrangement has
been made for the sake of the poorer
classes, but critics argue that the gov
ernment is out to achieve as great
a disorganization of economic life as
they can at a maximum cost. Prep
arations are being made to introduce
a universal bread card system with
a view to economy. The soldiers'
rations have already been cut down.
Saving Beef.
In order to save the stock of beef,
mutton is being issued to the army
once a week. This is quite a revolu
tion in Holland, where mutton has
hitherto been almost unknown as an
article of popular diet, albeit the war
and the article's comparative cheap
ness is bringing it more into vogue.
There has been no export of cattle
for some time. The allies appear to
be permitting a free import of grain,
presumably in consequence of the ar
rangement made for the export of
large quantities of agricultural pro
duce to Britain.
Despite the government's requisi
tioning of ships for the transport ol
grain and other product., and the
inroads of mines and torpedoes on the
merchant fleet, the Dutch shipowners
are very prosperous and high divi
dends may again be expected. The
shipping movement at the uhief Dutch
ports is still only a fraction of its
normal volume. Holland is, never
theless, preparing for a brighter fu
ture. A bill has just passed the sec
ond chamber for the deepening of the
waterway leading from Rotterdam to
the sea, while a measure introduced
a day or two ago provides, among
other extensions at Amsterdam, for
the construction of a new harbot to
meet the demand for wharfage facili
ties for ships of deep draught. The
mail steamship services to and from
the Netherlands East Indies have
now returned to the much shorter
route through the Suez canal.
Shortage of Coal.
Industry and econnomic life gen
erally is suffering considerably from a
shortage in the supplies of coal and
iron from Germany. The coal scarc
ity has led to such phenomena as the
early closing of shops and reduction
of their lighting, a revision of fac
tory hours in some places, increased
gas and electricity prices, and the
cutting down of the already reduced
passenger servites by per cent, to
gether with a raising of fares. Mean
time, ships have been rcquistioned to
rush coal in from England, and the
Dutch mines are being exploited to
their utmost capacity.
Germany is understood to demand
the surplus of Holland's sugar crop
under threat of refusing all supplies
of beet seed and lime for this indus
try. Holland is between two stools,
for what Germany wants is precisely
what Great Britain, the mistress of
oversea communications, does not
want the Netherlands to export. The
last has not yet been heard of the
struggle over Holland's fish catches,
for Germany is now asking the Ymui
den fishermen for the same privileges
thev agreed to extend to Britain,
and is meanwhile seizing 35 per cent
of the catches of Dutch trawlers that
happen to get taken into a German
port, on the ground that this portion
is destined for England and is there
fore contraband.
British Furnish Gymnasium
And Pool for Prisoners
(Correspondence nf The Associated Press.)
Douglas, Isle of Man, Jan. 2.
There has been sarcastic comment
in the British newspapers about the
huge swimming pool and luxuriously
equipped gymnasium which the gov
ernment provides for its war prisoners
at the Cunningham camp. Ihe pool
is about 100 feet long and is housed
in an ornate building of gaudy stucco,
and the gymnasuim is as large and as
well equipped as that at Yale univer
sity.
Cunningham camp, before it was
taken over for prisoners, was a sum
mer school and recreation camp for
English tchool boys. The swimming
pool and gymnasium were retained.
and have naturally proved popular
features with the prisoners. With a
few exceptions, every man in the
camp visits the swimming pool at
least once a week. The average daily
attendance at the gymnasium is well
over 1,000
South African Troops Are
Serving First Winter in War
(Correspondenca of The Aasnclated Press.)
With South African Contingent of
British Armies in France. Jan. 12.
South African troops men from the
mines and farmt of the gold country
are now serving their first winter in
the field of France and are distil
guishing themselves with many deeds
of daring and valor. Some of them
fought against Britain in the Boer
war, and among them there are sev
eral Americans who had made their
homes in the African mining fields.
One of the most thrilling exploits of
the South Africans was the recent
act of a vounsr subaltern.
During the night operation he be
came separated trom his company and
found himself inside the German
lines. After a time he picked up six
more men of his company who had
become similarly detached. When
dawn came the little group found it
self practically surrounded by Ger
mans. The young subaltern found
that his rifle and those of his com
rades had become so clogged with
mud that they wouldn't work, but he
drew his revolver and as the first
German aproached he shot him dead.
A German sergeant who itarted for
ward was also killed, and as day
light came two of the subaltern's
.ompanions got their rifles working
and succeeded in killing twelve mem
bers of the surrounding party and
capturing twenty-two. Forming their
German prisoners into a ring, the
South Africans got inside of the cir

Ireland's Bank Deposits
Reflect New Prosperity
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Rclfast. Ireland. Ian. 4. The com
bined balance sheets of the big Irish
banks having their head offices at Bel
fast indicate that Ireland is in an ex
ceedingly prosperous position. There
has been an unprecedented expansion
in -deposits, investments and cash on

to customers and bills discounted '
seems to indicate that business men
are to a larger extent than ever
financing their business from their
own pockets.
