SiBSSft wim i££«l That the men -who are educated in the public schools, high schools and colleges of this country are the ones •who are making it possible for the United States to compete and com pete successfully with all of .Europe, was the central thought in the talk. "Made In America," which the Hon. H. R- Pattenglll of Lansing, Mich., bull moose candidate for governor of that state, gave last evening before the Lee county teachers' Institute. Mr. Pattenglll is for the American schools, he made that pretty plain, and paid his respects in a way which brought applause, to Edward Bok and various other critics of our school system Mr. Pattenglll combined de Ughtfully into his talk, facts and hu mor, and Illustrated his various points with a fund of interesting incidents. Mr. Pattenglll said the question was naturally how it came about that America was able to compete with Europe with its cheaper labor and its correlation of resources. The alert ness of our engineers, the genius of our workmen, due to the fact that the hand of the teacher is on the head or the children was the reason he as signed. "Many critics declare our sphool to be the greatest loss of the age," said iMr. Pattenglll. "There is not one great piece of work in America that is not done by the men who have been educated in our public schools, our high schools and colleges. Our resources would be worthless without the genius and skill to bring them to gether. That is why we must keep the band of our teachers upon the head of our children." Praise Keokuk Power Plant, Mr. Pattenglll paid a compliment to the great Keokuk potorer plant. He said he had been inspired as he stood 4n the great power house as he had never been before, except when he £&zed at the great Panama canal. Keo kuk, he said, waa famous the country over for her power plant. When he found he was coming here he was pleased because he wanted to see the great plant.

[United Press LeaBed Wire Service.] ROTTERDAM, Oct. 2.—There Is growing bitterness of feeling through out Holland against England because of her interference with Dutch ship ping and her holding up of cargoes of foodstuffs and needed supplies, such as copper. This feeling is not pro German, but it is frankly anti-British. Although It 1b reported that an ar rangement has been made between England and the United States where by food stuffs no longer will be held up, Hollanders generally resent the concession their government was compelled to make and especially the fact that they were compelled to place themselves under obligations to Eng land in order to prevent complete paralysis of Dutch trade. Every ship that sails to or from Holland Is being held up by the British or French fleet and ransacked from stem to stern. Charges are made that International mails are interferred with, although up to the present thes9 allegations have not been officially endorsed by the Dutch government. While the queen and court circles have been in clined to sympathize with the German cause, the plain Dutch burghers have been and are still frankly anti-German. They look upon Belgium's fate as what can be expected for Holland if Germany wins the war. But England's action In carrying the "right of search'' to the present extreme has absolutely annihilated all sympathy with her in Holland. All of the facts of the holding up of Holland-American liners enroute from New York and Philadelphia are only becoming known here now. The Dutch national pride has been badly hurt by learning that when a British com mander took possession of the Noor dam and took that vessel into Queens town harbor, he ordered the captain down from his own bridge. Even Englishmen here declare that this was a conspicuous example of disre gard for ethics and tactlessness. There is much wonder here as to what will be the result when similar tactics are followed by British war ship commanders toward American merchantmen who are to be put Into the service between here and New York.
