THE HAGUE IS CENTER
OF A STRANGE CROWD.
All Sorts of People There With All
Sorts of Opinions.
THE HAGUE, March 17.—*The
Hotel des Indes here is the head
quarters of as varied and scattered
nationalities as one can find the world
over. At the dinner hour one even
ing The Associated Press correspond
ent saw diplomatic representatives of
fourteen nations. The diversity of
opinion about the war in such an as
sembly can well be imagined. One
neutral commented on the unfortunate
conditions which made it necessary
for Holland to keep her army in the
field month after month.
“Yes,” said a German, “but she
must be ready if England threatens
to violate the neutrality of the Scheldt
and get up to Antwerp.”
“How ridiculous,” replied another,
Holland has but one motive in keep
ing her army in the field and that is
to fight her hardest if Germany tries
to treat her as she treated Belgium.”
In the city of The Peace Palace all
nationalities can hold and express
opinions that would get them into
trouble in almost any other country
in Europe.
fn diplomatic circles here, by the
way, American women who have mar
ried Europeans are conspicuous. Not
able among them are Madame for.k
heer John Loudon (who was Miss
Lydia Eustis), the wife of the Dutch
Minister of Foreign Affairs; Lady
Alan Johnston (who was Miss
Antoinette Pinchot) wife of the Brit
ish Minister; ami Mrs. Ferdinand Von
Strumm (who was Miss Hoyt, of
Washington), wife of the first secre
tary of the German legation.
aeroplanes need
A CONSTANT CARE.
PARIS, March 17.—*The fife of
aeroplane motors in use is not over
350 hours, and to assure this much of
them must be taken apart, cleaned
and remounted every 50 hours, ac
cording to the experience of French
aviators since the war began.
As the cost of one of the motors,
when ordered by the hundred, is 15,
000 francs each, the expense is a
heavy one. One factory near Paris
is delivering 150 new areoplane mot
ors a month.
It is difficult to know details of the
aeroplane work, but it is assumed that
from five to ten aeroplanes go out of
I
action each day, disabled by hostile
fire or wear and tear.
The military aviation schools are
training many hundreds of young
aviators, so that there is a constant
renewal of the human material at the
front, and a steady increase in the
number of air machines in action.

IDITAROD, Feb. 27.—At the Em
ergency hospital, Fiat City, yester
day morning at 11 o’clock, James M.
Ballentine, a well-known resident of
this city, passed to the great beyond
after a lingering illness of several
months. The deceased was a suf
ferer of tuberculosis.
Mr. Ballentine came to the North
land in 1898 and resided in the Atlin
and Dawson camps until the rush to
Fairbanks in 1904 attracted him to
the new gold fields of the Tanana
district. While a resident of Fair
1 banks Mr. Ballentine, in partnership
with James Hagen, former chief of
police of that city, was in the lumber
and fuel business.
