HOLLAND IS DISPLEASED

; Tfie, Hague,. Netherlands, Aug. 28.-T
Great Britian, which has been. regard
ing with growing displeasure the pro
visioning .of. Germany with fish from
Holland has' now brought the matter
to 'a head by seizure of some 100 ves
sels of the Dutch fishing fleet,' and
they: art now lying under arrest in
the Scotch potts of Peterhead, Ab.
erdee'n,' terwick ind Kirkwall. Un
less an arrangement is reached, they
are-apparently to be taken before the
British prize court on the ground
that their catches are contraband, be
cause the .final destination thereof is
Germany. ...
Even before the war; Gerjnany was
the. best customer ot the Dutch fisher
men, but Jhf effect of the maratime
blockade erf the allies has been to so
greatly increase that country' pur
chases on tbe.flsh market here as to
give it a practical monopoly ',ot Hol
land's exports. " The ef export of
various torts "-of? sea-fish .i in- recent
' years ha amounted to about 110,000
tons avyear, j TepresehtBwf a value of
between $8,uWjUUU i anJ Jli,UOO,OWJ.

Meetings of protest have- already
been hetcf by varlou fishing interests"
and the' trades unions affected; the
press has echoed the same note; and
the foreign: minister ha, explained
the,, matter" in Parliament. It is;
strongly argued from tlx Dutch' side
that there can be no question of
contraband, as the tiib is all destined
for the;-, open market in Holland, i
where anyone is" free to buy. On the'
other hand, there is. .the fact that a
company . lias been formed by leading
hjiri .craft, owners, dealers and
other " 'Which acts a the buying

I Pack to Firat Principle.
HoVrever, the position may stand
from the point of view, of equity,- it is
quite) possible that,' bow the Declara
tics) rjf . London ha been abandoned
ana Great Britain has fallen back on
the preexisting principle of mari
tinfe law, the prize court would decide
against .the fishermen if the matter
wetit so far,' and condemn the Dutch
craft on the ground that the ultimate
destination of three-quarter of their
cargcvcatches may be presumed to be
for. tjie enemy and -therefore contra
band. But it seems probable an ar
rangement will be made between the
British authorities and the Dutch fish
in) interest a the result of negotia
tionsiow proceeding. The suggestion
is jktt forward in one quarter that the
owner of fishing craft . shall bind
theiselve; to land the catches of a
fixei numbeifof ship in England and
selij tnftn on, the-public market there,
on Mhe -imderatanding that the other
part of the fleet shall be free to carry
their catches to Dutch ports. Of these
latter a portion would be reserved for
home consumption, while the rest of
the., fish would; be sold on the open
majket, at now,, to Germany, or any
Omaha Ready for Grand Opera Now;
, Auditorium Good Place to Hear Music
Associated Betailers' Course
Offers Unusual Opportunity ;
T in Presenting Greatest
of Living: Artists.
' Omaha is putting in a tolerably
busy fall entertaining distinguished
guestsi but the .bulk of the citizens
of the' Nebraska metropolis have not
lost sight of the fact that within the
next few month they are to be re
galed by the "world's most famous"
in music. ' "'. '
' In the approaching Associated Re
tailers' course Omahans will have the
opportunity to "hear stars who have
thrilled the diamond horseshoe crowd
in the Metropolitan, and will do the
same here but local music lovers will
not be compelled to pay what the
easterners do for the privilege.
Omaha is fortunate in having an
udilorium where no particular sec
tion is much better than the others
for hearing;. The acoustics of the
huge municipal building are such that
one seat is practically as good as an
other, so far as hearing is concerned.
This was demonstrated again Thurs
day evening when President Wilson
spoke to a crowd of several thousand
person's. Those in the rear and side
seat and in the balcony averred aft
erward that they could hear the presi
dent distinctly, even from the .ex
treme corners of the big auditorium.
Many subscribe to the grand opera
and , concert course have expressed
themselves as desiring seats on the
side and in the rear part of the main
floor, and in the balcony. The fact,
too, that they are less expensive does
not . make, them, to some less prefer
able.' Any number of the moderate
priced seats, trom where the grand
opera and concert stars may be heard
to the very best, advantage, are still
avauaDie.
