That "many want peace at any price"; that the "starvation policy of our en emies has to a certain extent borne fruit"; that "hardships are increas-j ing from day to day," and that "it is becoming daily more difficult to maintain the fortitude necessary toj carry on the war to a s>uccesful ter-i mination," were statements ntade by Count Julius Andrassy, former Hun garian premier, in the Hungarian i 'hamber of Deputies on February 6, according to German newspapers received here. Count Andrassy, in opening his speech, said the Constitution party, of which he was the leader, has been dissolved and that the great major ity of the members would enter the newly-organized government party. Emphasizing the necessity of form ing a strong united government party Count Andrassy said: "Now is not the time for petty party interests, as the interests of the nation are, at .stake." "Many desire peace at any price, '"hat would be the greatest crime against nation. And those elements who are trying to incite such a peace would suffer the most from it. Peace •it any price would destroy the self consciousness of the nation and para lyze its economic life." Reviewing the Russian peace aims he said he was convinced the Bol shcvikl were not serious in their peace intentions.

Government Needs 10,000 More Clerks and Stenogs The government needs stenog raphers and typewriters, mechanics for the navy yards and ship drafts, men as much as it needs soldiers. Persons who have such experience owe it t't their country to offer themselves for service. The government: will need over 10,000 new clerks and stenograph ers within the next six months and to get these new clerks is a problem just as serious as raising an army. Persons who are interested may apply at the Post Office at 7.30 p. ni. Monday and ask. for Edward S. Diehl, special representative of the Civic Service Commission. The present examination required is largely modi fied, and so simple that failure is al most impossible.

Force Decision The negotiations with Holland have been in progress for many months, and it was said an arrange ment would be reached last Christ mas. The Germans, however, were continually bringing pressure to bear upon Holland, and the delay in reaching an agreement operated con tinuously to the advantage of Ger many and to the disadvantages of the allies. Realizing the difficult position ot Holland, the allies decided to force an immediate settlement. While Germany has been obstruct ing the employment of Dutch ton nage by the allies she has been en joying the use of Dutch barge ton nage in German canals to an amount greater than the ocean-going ton nage which the allies will secure un der the new arrangement. Netherlands Minister Asks Modification of Decision to Seize Ships Washington, March 14. —The United States anil Oreat Britain have presented a final notice to Holland that unless the pending agreement for allied use of Dutch ships is ac cepted by March 18 the ships will be taken over for allied use. The Netherlands minister, Augus tus Phillips, had an engagement to see President Wilson to-day and it was believed he would present a final appeal for his government that the intentions of the United States and Great Britain to take over Dutch shipping at least be modified. Will Kecclvo Foodstuff* In addition to the guarantees for insurance and replacement of the ships, Holland is to receive liberal shipments of breadstuffs and other supplies she needs badly. It is the full intention of the allies to use the ships In all the zone, al though it was proposed under the original agreement that they should not be sent into the war zone. Some eighty Dutch ships are al ready In the American service under a three months' agreement with Hol land. Taking over the tonnage would abrogate this arrangement. There are no Indications that the allied governments will recede from their decision. In fact a final com munication is understood already to have been presented at the Hague by the British and American diplo matic representatives. Officials and diplomats here have no fears that the taking over of the Dutch ships will force Holland into the war has been predicted In some quarters. They are certain that Hol land will continue her policy of neutrality. The talking over of all the Dutch fleets is the greatest move of Its kind since the beginning of the war.

Denny O'Neil, stute highway commissioner, said to-day that re ports thut the State Highway De partment would endeavor to have many miles of state roads turned back to tlie counties and to the townships was a deliberate lie: that while he was convinced that it would have been much better to have taken the roads over as they could have been improved permanently, it was now the duty of the state to keep them in as good condition as pos sible and to improve them as soon as money is available. Commissioner O'Neil said also that the rbcords of the department dur ing the past six months show that more constructive work has been done and more contracts for per manent roads have been awarded than for several years past. tn a statement he said: "The statement of Penrose emissaries that the Highway Department was dominat ed by politics—as the cheapest kind of campaign rot, circulated by un scrupulous. discredited and disgrunt led politicians, who failed in tlv:ir attempt to have the Highway De partment play their selfish political games for them in their particular countks. ' The commissioner to-elay award ed the contract for the reconstruc tion of a section of ronel in Lehigh county, connecting Bethlehem and Allentown; the section to be improv ed is 2. 114 mil';* long, located on State Highway Route 159, anel the contract went to George H.
