MANY DESERTING GERMAN ARMY Holland Filled With Refugees From Kaiser's "War Ma chine"; Many Spies, Too The Hague, Netherlands, July 5. —Thousands of deserters, mostly from the Germany army, now are swelling the streams of refugees pouring Into Ho'land from adjoining countries. Holland has become a great, place of refuge for fugitives fleeing from the terrors of the Ger man front, food hardships or the German military regime. So numerous have these war | refuges become that a weekly perl- ! odical, called "The Combat" has j been established at Amsterdam to • carry on a revolutionary socialist j propaganda among them. A Society | of Deserters has ben formed in Hoi- j land, apparently by German agents. | in order to discover the names of i deserters and exert pressure on their families to induce them to return to Germany. Returning deserters no j longer are shot but are sent to the j front. The country is overrun by a small ! army of spies, persons of both sexes, ; whoso work is to spy into Dutch af- I falls, to spy upon the belligerents j and sometimes to spy upon one an- i other. These refugees. deserters and j government agents, added to escap- ■ ing prisoners of war of virtually ev- j ery Entente nationality, fugitive j Poles and other peoples of Eastern i Europe, fleeing from forced labor | and other evils, have swelled the immigration flood until the problem ; of what disposition to make of these foreigners has become acute in Hoi- ! land. Proiul of Hospitality Proud of its traditional hospital ity, I-Jolland opened its frontiers i freely ' to all comers, but public opinion and the government has dis- ; covered that there are formidable j dangers inherent in this aggregation , of Immigrants. What might not happen. Holland- | crs otten ask themselves, if Holland j suddenly became involved in the war ; with all these vast numbers of for- | eigners spread all over the country, j many of them of the worst or at . least of the most doubtful char acter? vjatsoaHß %.vn shrd ltaun taun Infectious disease repeatedly has been introduced. The great exodus j of Belgians brought typhus and dys entery: Austro-Hungarian emigrants from Galicia. on their way to join relatives in America, and suspected i smugglers from that province, brought smallpox; escaped prison- j ers-of-war from infected German camps and others occasionally in troduced diseases like spotted fever find meningitis. In each case the j disease was quickly checked. The Prime Minister, Cort van der I.inden, announced a few days :igr> that the increased influx, and the I bodily condition of persons entering the country, had necessitated more drastic sanitary measures. Barracks arc to be erected at five different point;! of the frontier, where all Ger mans entering the country, of whom the great majority are deserters, will ; be disinfected, while a camp is to j be erected for the accommodation of dangerous or undesirable ele- , ments among deserters. As regards , the national danger, the Minister of; War, Major General N. Bosbom. en- I deavored to reassure public opinion | in parliament a few days ago by | that, if Holland became in the war, it would be j made evident that the government was far more conversant with the j position as regards foreigners, and ; had taken far more adequate pre- j cautionary measures, than most peo. pie thought. WAGONETTE LUNCH SERVICE ' OX SOUTHERN TRAINS, Coach passengers on a southern | railway wso may not desire a meal i in the dining car are catered to by a "wagonette service," an innovation 1 that is being given a thorough test. A small, light, and neatly built wa gonette, of the domestic teawagon type, with three shelves, is loaded in the dining car with simple and in expensive lunch material, and haul ed or pushed through the coaches by a white-clad attendant, who serves • passengers in their seats with what ever they wish. The freight of the white-enameled wagonette is tempt ingly displayed and includes sand wiches, lunch boxes, cold meats, pies, fruit, milk, and hot coffee and chocolate in vacuum bottles, with the necessary crockery and silver ware.—From the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
