TURK VESSEL CAPTURED
ATHENS, Nov. 12.—The Turkish torpedo boat which
excaped from the Dardanelles some time ago has been cap
tured off Tenedos island which is off the coast of Asia Min
or. The torpedo boat had evidently intended to reach the
coast of Asia Minor for the purpose of attacking the ship
ping of the hostile countries. It is even thought that her
destination was the Suez canal where she could possibly
have wrought severe injury on British shipping. Further
war news from the regions where Turkey is active has not
been recieved here for several days. The Greek govern
ment has given no indication as to its policy since the de
claration of war by Turkey but there seems to be no move
made that would portend war by this country.
PARIS, Nov. 11.—The war bill which Europe is meet
ing daily is now figured up as follows:
Russia $14,000,000, Germany $7,225,000 France $7,000,
000, England $5,000,000, Austria $4,000,000, and Various
$3,000,000. Total $40,225,000.
The French appropriation is from official figures as
announced by M. Ribot, Minister of Finance; the English
estimate by the London Statist; the German total from
“an authoritative source” in a Geneva paper; and the oth
er sums from various conservatives estimates which ap
peared in one place or another. The item “various,” rep
resents the probable expense to which Servia, Belgium,
and the neutral countries of Switzerland, Italy, Rumania,
Turkey, Greece, Holland, and Denmark have been put.
The vast total does not include the destruction of pro
perty where fighting is taking place, nor the well-nigh in
calculable losses to Europe of 20,000,000 men under arms
being taken from production. There are no indications in
France that exhaustion has set in, but it is evident that ac
cumulated treasure of even the richest country on the con
tinent is being poured out at a rate that adds $200,000,000
a month to the National Debt.

But he wants that little good:
And that's where SHERWOOD makes

When its drawn straight from the

It’s the show place of the camp
And everything we serve down here
Has got the double stamp.

ROTTERDAM, Nov. 6.—Prudent
men in Holland continue to talk of the
European War in whispers and behind
closet! doors, and one would almost
think the Duke of Alba was making
another descent on the Lowlands. A
few days ago—before Queen Wilhel
mina addressed the opening session of
the Staten-General on the subject of
neutrality, expressions pro and con
could be heard in the cafes and other
public places. But the gentle lan
guage of Her Majesty penetrated
deeply—editors have again taken to
their mental retreats and the burghers
aguin think of the floods that will in
undate most of North-central Holland
in case any warring nation should at
tempt an invasion.
Holland has begun to realize the
delicacy and difficulties of her position,
and the danger of any pronounced
sympathy with one or the other of the
belligerent powers. It is feared that
London might take advantage of any
expression of feeling in favor of the
allies in the hope of getting The
Hague to make concessions which
would bring the Germans over the
Dutch borders. This part of the issue
is clear enough—even to the Germans,
whose press refers to it now and then
guardedly, and with the intimation
that it is better to have Holland afraid
of England than in love with Ger
many.
Holland on the whole seems to
have been well satisfied with the pre
bell ian status in Europe. Germany
was a good customer of the Dutch col
onies and put annually millions into
the Dutch railways and oversea, river
and canal bottoms. That there are at
present out of work in Rotterdam
some 15,000 men who heretofore made
a comfortable living in the transport
business created by German industry,
is a daily reminder that after all the
interests of Holland do not wholly lie
in the destruction of Germany’s for
eign commerce. Holland, in addition
to handling a great part of Germany’s
supply of food, also carried fully one
fourth of the raw materiul imported
by the German manufacturers and
about one-fifth of the German ex
ports, having almost entirely the traf
fic originating in Rhenish-Prussia,
Westphalia and other parts of the em
pire enjoying canal transportation
facilities accessible from the Rhine.
What the conditions of this traffic i
will be after the war, is a problem
with the Hollander. Certain it is that
Germany’s industrial position could
not be reduced without causing serious
losses to the Netherlands—of this
some 60,000 men, women and children
suffering from unemployment arc the
evidence. Formerly about 300 seago
ing vessels entered the port of Rotter
dam every week. At present the av
erage is below 35, and most of these
are said to go with half-cargoes. Riv
er ami canal traffic is all but paralyz
ed, and the railroad receipts are
dwindling constantly. As a member of
the local Chamber of Commerce re
marked: “Our railroads are kept busy
hauling coal for themseleves.” He
might have added that when not doing
this they are obliged to handle one
tenth of the Dutch army back and for
th, the men under arms being entitled
to one day with their families every
tenth day.
Much has been done by the govern
ment to avert disaster, employ the un
employed, and lessen the sulTering of
those unable to find work. The govern
ment has issued “Zilvcrbons”—script
calculated to replace the actual cur
rency which disappears from circula
tion as soon as war threatens. The
cities, too, have been given the right
to issue such money, backed by the
municipal property. This has had the
tendency to restore confidence and re
cently much silver has been taken out
of hiding so that now conditions are
fairly normal.
Public work which had been delayed
for one reason or another has been in
augurated by the national government
and most cities are having their sew
ers given a through overhauling. In
Rotterdam, for instance, many streets
have been torn up from one end to the
other, and a large force is being em
ployed in lifting black, evil-smelling
ooze from the canals by means of wire
baskets at the end of a long pole-a
primitive way of doing things, but one
which helps to keep people in bread,
if not in butter.
