“Holland Fears She Will Fall Under Yoke of Germany
If Kaiser’s Armies Are Successful in Presenl War”
SO NATIVE OF HOLLAND TELLS HERALD REPORTER
IV!r. Y. Van Staalduijnen, of
Lisse, Holland, on First Visit
to America, is in Augusta
PREDICTS ALLIES SUCCESS
IN A WAR OF TWO YEARS
Says Germany Has Been Pre
paring For War For Thirty
Years---Has Faith in England
and Believes She Will Protect
Smaller Countries of Europe.
That Holland fears absorption by
the German Empire, which would
mean the destruction of her individ
uality and the subjection of her peo
ple to the Kaiser's yoke, if Germany
should win in the present war with
the allies, is the statement of Mr. Y.
Van Staalduijnen, of Lisse, Holland,
representative of Guldemond & Son,
wholesale bulb growers, who arrived
in Augusta yesterday afternoon.
He is stopping at the Albion and will
visit all of the Augusta florists. His
firm has been doing business with
Augusta florists lor a number of
years, but this is Mr. Van Staalduij
nen's first visit to America. He ar
rived in New York a short three
weeks ago. The fact that he has
traveled a great deal in England is
responsibility for his ability to speak
very good English.
“The sympathies of the greater por
tion of the people of my country are
with the allies.'’ said Mr. Staalduijnen
"foi» we believe that the violation of
the neutrality of Belgium was a crime
for which Germany will be held to ac
count and her armies will be conquer
ed before the war is over. We believe
that tlie* war will continue for allot
two years, for the Kaiser's armies are
fighters and wall not go dow'n without
a most terrific struggle. But it is in
evitable that the allies will win and
Belgium be avenged for the terrible
treatment she is suffering. There are
manv hundreds of thousands of Bel
gians in imy country now who are
being fed hy our people. Business is
demoralized over there and the scar
city of wheat is great. We bought the
greater portion of our wheat, corn and
other foodstuffs from Russia, but the
war has cut off this and we must come
to the United States for food. Ten
thousand tons of wheat reached Rot
terdam from America a few days be
fore I sailed, but it went <mly a little
ways toward relieving the conditions.
Fear of Germany.
“In my country there is a haunting
fear that if Germany wins the great
conflict which is now on she will ab
sorb not only Belgium, but Holland,
■Denmark and every small country in
Europe and force France and England
to become mere dependencies. Before
I would live in Holland under German
rule I would go almost anywhere. We
arc a peaceful people, content to mind
our own business. We do not want

resist any invasion until the last man

"Germany has been preparing for
this war for HO years and thought, by
reason of her preparedness, that Paris

Augusta-Aiken Railway and Electric
Corporation before the railroad com
mission of South Carolina to double
the fare between Augusta and Aiken
and of the Georgia Railroad, before
the railroad commission of Georgia, to
take off four trains entering and leav
ing Augusta daily. I wish to protest,
because what Augusta wants is move
steam all the while, more trains, and
as cheap riding as possible.
Utterly Unreasonable.
One gentleman, who knows some
thing about railroad matters, stated
to me yesterday that to double the
fare between this city and Aiken was
so utterly unreasonable that he did not
think the commission would seriously
consider it. He said also that while
the railway company might need some
concessions Just now', still it did not
need 100 per cent increase in the cost
of riding. This gentleman said that
if a guarantee should be given that
cars between here and Aiken would
be put back on the regular hour sched
ule after business conditions get bet
ter, that the railway might accom
plish a great deal toward reducing ex
penses by running cars every two hours.
He said that this may or may not be
a solution, but that he was certain

Lody Alias Inglis Tells on Wit
ness Stand of His Mission in
England For German Govern
ment.
London, 2:35 p. m.—Carl Hans Lody,
alias Charles A. Inglis, on trial for his
life before a courtmartial told on the
witness stand today the story of his
mission to England to secure infor
mation for the German government
He said that formerly he was a senior
lieutenant in the German navy, but
later was transferred to the reserve.
He secured a position to act as tourist
agent for the Hamburg-American
Line.
When in Berlin last July, Lody de
clared, he received instructions from
a superior officer to select a route to
New York. He was not to start for
America, but was to remain in Eng
land until the first naval encounter
between Germany and England, and
give information regarding the actual
losses to the British fleet. He was
then to proceed to New York.
Admitted Uneasiness.
Lody said also he had been instruct
ed to keep track of the movements of
the British fleet, but was warned not
to do any spying. He admitted that
such instruction caused him uneasi
ness but he was assured that his ap
pearance would permit him to travel
as an Amer^m.
The witness spoke fluent English,
with an American accent. He said
he was well-known in New York so
ciety, and two years ago had married
an American woman of German de
scent, later receiving a divorce.
Sent Information.
The prosecutor, in closing the case,
declared Lody had sent to Berlin
valuable descriptions of armaments,
the position of the British fleet, and
the geograpiiical parts of Scotland.
During the witness’ examination a
man who had occupied a seat on one
of the war office benches and who
was supposed to be connected with
that branch of the government, was
suddenly pounced upon by detectives
and removed under military escort.
MRS. S. J. WILLARD DIED
AT SISTER’S HOME, FLA.
Mrs. a. J. Willard of this city died
at 7 o’clock Saturday morning at the
home of her sister, Mrs. B. H. Dun

Mrs. Willard has been a resident of
Augusta all her life. She Is aurvlved
by three sisters, Mrs. H. M. Taylor,
of this city, Mrs. B. G. Winter, of

Britton. "All the players *lgn»d are

citizens of the towns along the line ot

ously before the Carolina railroad
commission.
As to the Georgia Railroad's taking
off the two fast trains and also tho
"Athens Special" as we have called it,
it seems to me if this is allowed wo
better go back to the old days when
the "picayune” ran to Harlem and
back, take off the parlor cars and
make a Joke affair of the whole prop
osition. Seriously, it occurs to me,
Just an humble toiler in the ranks of
the upbuilders of Augusta, that wo
can ill afford to go backward. Just a
few months ago the newspapers pro
claimed that Mr. Wickersham had put
Augusta on a trunk line because of
the inauguration of the fast train ser
vice. that there was a through sleeper
to Chicago and the Georgia road was
to be a main highway of travel be
tween the West and Augusta. The re
porters talked about the big tourist
business that would come to Augusta
from the West over the Georgia and
now when the tourist season is about
to open, the announcement comes that
the trains are to be taken off. that la,
if the commission will permit it.
As for the train which leuves here
at 4:45 p. m. and arrives at 11 a. in.,
it has been on the road for a num
ber of years and has become an in
stitution. Now, when the Georgia Rail
road’s operating expenses are being
reduced and the net earnings increas
ing and the worst of the "hard times”
is over, why should the Georgia be
allowed to give Augusta a black eys
by taking off four trains? Then, too,
there is Atlanta and many towns on
the road to be considered. Undoubt
edly, the effort to take off th« trains
will be resisted when the commission
meets in Atlanta to hear the ense No

A MERE CITIZEN.
LDVE CAUSE OF
TRAGIC FI OF
YOONG SHOWMAN
C. B. Scofield Said to Have
Taken Five Grains of Heroine
---His Identity So Far Un
known.
Five grains of heroine, self-adminis
tered, is said to have been the cause of
the tragic end of a showman, whose
name was given as C. B. Scofield, ad
dress unknown, passing through Au
gusta Saturday. He was sent to the
hospital at 3:30 p. m., after having been
found at or near the Union Station In
a semi-conscious state and lingered at
the hospital till 7 o’clock, when death
came with nothing known of hls*where
abouts.
Scofield is said to have uttered a few
words near the end, although Ids voice
was weak and he was in a stupor, to
the effect that he “wanted to die’’ and
that “a woman was Involved.’’
Sweetheart Jilted Mlm.
Information is that the showman's
sweetheart had gone back on him; that
the woman witli whom he was des
perately in love had left him, and that
this was cause for the alleged act of
self-destruction.
It Is stated that Scofield was a mem
ber of the Red Top Carnival Company,
which was passing through the city en
route to Atlanta. The company In tw<i
cars left Augusta over the Georgia rail
road yesterday afternoon and it was
while lie was staggering to the depot in
an effort to take the train, his senses
already having been half taken away,
that lie was given assistance by two
pedestrians near by, and but for this he
would probably huve fallen In his tracks.
Hurried to Hospital.
Officer James came to the stricken
man’s aid and in a few moments he
was placed in the' nuto polieo patrol and
hurried to the hospital. Efforts to save
his life then were fruitless.
A 15-grain bottle of the poison, an
alkaloid of morphine, one dose of which
is from 'l-6 to 1-24 of a grain, was found
on his person, and 5 grains had been
taken out of the vial. The respiratory
centers were soon paraiized from the
effectß of the drug, and his death was
inevitable.
The body Is in the hands of the R. E.
Elliott undertaking establishment and
will he held pending the receipt of in
formation concerning what disposition is
to be made of the body.

strolling down the street, is attracted
by a poster of Mile. Aut Nlsseu saying
that this celebrated moving picture
star is to be seen In the theater in a
thrilling drama. He goes in to see
the play and is so impressed with her
appearance on the screen that he de
cides to try to meet her. He goes to
the studio where she is making the
pictures and through the good offices
of a friend sees her in real life. Ha
is introduced and the impression or
her is such that he tries to find a way
to meet lier socially. When she Is leav
ing the studio she drops her hand hag,
which he finds. In It is a card giving
her address. He goes to return the
bag and spends a very pleasant time
with her. He sees her several times
after arid each time his love grows
stronger. She Is very fond of animals
and has in her apartment a private
collection of lions which she allows t«
him. He is about to finish his studies
as a doctor when ho receives a letter
from his brother telling him that
through unfortunate investments their
fortune has been wlj»ed out. He is
very much worried but Aut offers to
lend him enough money to complete
his studies. He accepts her offer anil
takes ids de ree with high honors
Later he is a reception and sees Aut
flirting with another man. He pro
tests very strongly and It causes a
rupture that separates them. He does
not see tier for several years and lias
practically forgotten her existence.
She, however, sees In one of the papers
that he is to be married and sends
him a note asking him to call. He gels
the note on the evening of his wedding
day and the old love returns. He
makes the excuse to his wife that, he
has to go to see a patient. When he
reaches the home of Mile, NlsHen she
tells him that she has a surprise for
him and he consents to he bllnd-foided

has been aroused to such a degree that
she has become irresponsible. She

lie lias fallen in love. Helene has heart
lessly thrown over her fiance Hernlaky
for the new and interesting Jap, and
meanwhile Toko's countrymen In Parts
have been Informed by their spy ot
Helene's visits.
Tokoramo endeavors to keep Helene
from coming, becausee he is working day
and night; but to no avail. She con
tinues to visit his apartments against
his wishes, and one day while there her
rejected sweetheart forces his way past
the servant into Toko's room. Toku
quickly hides Helene behind a curtain,
where she listens to her own denuncia
tion and exposure from the lips of the
man she has so lightly deserted. When
Hernisky departs, Toko brings Helene
from her hiding-pace and bids her go
forever, but she pleads passionately to
Vemain. Toko will not listen and de
mands that she leave at once. Helene
starts, and Toko, realizing how much
he cares for her, calls her back. Then
she refuses to stay, and in vehement
denunciation tells him she wll go back
to Benjisky and laughs at "him—calls
him a "yellow rat" and bids him return
to his yellow country from whence he
came. This enrages Toko, mid he
strangles Helene to dentil and leaves huT
lying lifeless on his hed.
The remainder of the story shows
graphically how Toko's countrymen ra ly

work—one of them must plead guilty.

boy, who Is finally guillotined. In tho
