March 31. The recent notice served on the Amer ican Consul General in London that for the remainder of the war only British and Entente allied ships will be permitted to enter the port of Plymouth, calls attention to one of the most historic towns of England, second to none in the Influence it has exerted on the history of our own country. The town is located near the south-west corner of England, at the mouth of the river Plym. The site is on a series of natural terraces slop ing south to the sea. and forming part of the foothills of Dartmoor. The harbor, one of the finest and largest in the kingdom, opens to the south. Some interesting bits of Plymouth’s history are given in the following bulletin just prepared by the National Geo graphic Society and issued from its I headquarters in Washington. “ ‘ Tis a notable old town,’ said Longfellow, and every patriotic Amer ican who has visited there has trod lightly and with reverence. Out of the harbor of Plymouth sailed Sir John! Hawkins and Sir Frances Drake to meet and conquer the Spanish Arm ada. a feat which wrote ‘finis' to the • sea-power of Spain. Had Philip suc- I ceeded in his design to crush the Brit ' ieh lion in 1588 the history of this I republic would have borne little of 1 the English impress. Sir Humphrey , Gilbert sailed from here to take pos i session of New foundland; Sir Walter j J Raleigh to colonize Virginia; and ini ‘1620 the ‘Mayflower’ spread her sails ; 1 at the barbican of Plymouth on her j ) daring expedition to the new country. ■ "To Plymouth men was given the t first charter for trading with America » and to Plymouth men, also, King; i James gave a charter whereby the region which had been called 'the' North Parts of Virginia’ was to be the ‘ domain of ‘the council established at Plymouth in the County of Devon’ for I the planting, ruling, ordering, and governing of New England in Amer-; lea.’ The first colonists of Australia' (not the Botany Bay convicts) took ship at this port for their home beyond he seats. Here also embarked the j brave troops which fell in the Crim-’ ean War, and a year or so later the troops sent out to quell the Indian Mutiny. “The principal sights of interest in Plymouth are St. Andrews Church, in the center of the town, built in the 15th century and restored by Sir Gil bert Scott in 1875; the old Guildhall, now a public library; the old town ' hall. now a museum of old books. I drawings. printings and portraits, I among which is to be found a picture i of the Pilgrim Fathers embarking at the barbican; the castle of the Earl of Edgecombe, built in the reign of ■ Henry VIII; the Eddystone Light- I house; and the Citadel, on the eastern sportion of the Hoe, constructed in THE AMERICUS TIM [1616. Most interesting of all is the ‘ Hoe, a hill 110 feet above the sea. the top of which is laid out to parks and i gardens, and the most wonderful promenade in the kingdom. It was ' on this hill that the fabled wrestling match between the Trojan Corinaeus: and the giant Goemagot (Gomagog) | took place. To Carinaeus, who held [ ‘it a diversion to encounter giants’ was ' reserved the privilege of wrestling with the being twelve cubits high,’ af ter the Trojans had killed all his tribesmen. The Trojan apparently took little interest in the en’.ounter until the giant had broken three of 1 is ribs, which so provoked Corinaeus that taking the giant on his shoulders Ihe ran with him to the shore. and 1 ‘getting upon the top of a high rock. |boiled down the savage monster 'nto' • the . <a, where falling on the sides of ’craggy rocks he was torn to pieces.j and coloured the waves red with his , blood.’ “To the world of arms, art, and song Plymouth has made large contribu tions. Three Royal Academicians and one President of the Royal Academy a were born there. Among the painters! 'are Sir Charles Eastlake. Samuel Prout, James Northcote. Benjamin Robert Haydon, Solomon Hart, -.nd many others, while Sir Joshua Re»n --’ olds was born four miles away in ti e j little town of Plymton.” HOLLAND IS BECOMING A LARGE LENDER TO THE BELLIGERENT STATES THE HAGUE, Netherland, March 31. ■ —Despite her efforts to prevent it. Holland Is ecoming, perforce, a large ( lender to the belligerent states. Great | Britain set the example of paying for its large supplies of dairy and other. produce In exchecquer bills, and. when Germany demanded the same privilege, neutral Holland could not see its way to refuse, however differently it might liegard Berlin paper. Holland has . been trying to apply the brake on this downward road that might land it In uncomfortable circumstances, but, so far, apparently unsuccessfully. | While these nations demand virtu ally everything on credit, they require 1 little Holland to pay for her imported ' goods in cash. In one respect this [ operates to Holland’s advantage owing ' to the fact that the rates of exchange in Germany and Austria are depressed and Holland purchasers, consequently, pay less now than they would after the war when the exchange rates may have risen. In the effort to prop up the rate of exchange in Germany and Austria, an 'organization for the control of ex ■ change values has been formed. No marks or crowns, as the case may be. are i ermitted to be sent out of Ger many or Austria unless authorized by these organizations. This means that . German and Austrian buyers of Hol land goods cannot pay the bills until ’ these controlling bodies have approved the purchase. Checks drawn in pay ment for luxuries shipped from Hol land into Germany and Austria are held up pending approval, the author ities ruling that claims arising from the imports of luxuries cannot be set pled until after the war. Trade between Holland and the Cen tral Empires has been seriously hamp- HOLLAND TO EXPORT EAST INDIAN TOBACCO TO GERMANY AMSTERDAM, Netherlands.
