Diplomatic dispatches from Borno say Hungarian troops havo arrived in Belgium. Many troop trains, It was said, havo passed through Llego. Tho prosenco of many AiiBtrlans was re ported also at Antwerp and Ghent. Germany In an utlmatlum to Hol land, according to advices received in London, demands tho right of transit not only for civilian supplies and ot sand and gravel through Holland, but nlso for war materials. The privilege of transit Is asked not only on the Dutch canals,, but also on tho railways. Germany has never made any claim of tho right of transit for avowed war materials and the yielding of Holland on this point would be equivalent to the abandonment of Dutch neutrality. The Handelsblad of Amsterdam on Monday expressed tho bellof that Ger. many would not hesitate to uso com munication through Holland even at the risk of war If It bollevd that by doing so victory could be obtained on the wfelstern front' It was roported recently that Ger may looked with disfavor upon Hol land's attitude toward the selzuro bj the United States and Great Britain of Dutch tonnage in American and British ports. ::o:: Dr. Brock, Dentist, over Stone Drug Store. tf .:o:: Nervous fluttering or palpitation of tho heart does not indicate heart dis ease, generally it means disorder In the stomach and Indigestion.
