THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 26, 1917
DUTCH TRAFFIC BY WATER FALLS TO LOWLEVELS Rotterdam Reports Loss of Ships and Tons to Be Large. ROTTERDAM. Netherlands. Sept.
26. (Correspondence of The Associated Press) Rotterdam's shipping traffic last year fell to the level of the year 1870 as regards the number of bhlps, and to the level of 1892 la respect to the tonnage, according to the
annual report of the Ratterdam Chamber of Commerce. The shipping arrivals of the whole country numbered
5,114. with a net tonnage of 4,681.117, as compared with 6,351 ships measuring 6,621,478 in 1916. Traffic with Spain, Russia, Rumania
and many other European countries is
entirely at a standstill, and that with Africa almost in a like condition.
Nearly half Rotterdam's shipping traffic was carried on with Britain, Norway and Sweden. The other half
was with the United States and Ar
pentina, whence came the country's grain imports. A large part of the Rhine fleet was
employed in the transport of gravel j
from Germany and Holland over in-. land waterways to Belgium. This material is destined for German military and other uses, and its conveyance through Dutch waters has not been viewed with much favor to the Entente Powers. Say Its Permissible. Holland maintains that such transport is permissible under International law, and that in these circumstances strict neutrality forbids prevention of the traffic. Another considerable part of the Rhine fleet, in the absence of the usual busy traffic with Germany, was chartered to carry coal from Belgium (Antwerp) to Germany, Switzerland, Scandinavia and Holland. Germany, Austria and Belgium being cut off from the Netherlands East Indian market,' and Britain's supplies being mostly confined to textile goods and fertilizers, the reports says America and Japan took advantage of the position to, considerably increase their sales to the East Indies America supplies more marchinery and ironware than formerly, and her exports to these colonies are expected to increase. It is probable, in the Chamber's opinion, that Japan will continue to serve the
Netherlands East Indian market after
the war. So greatly has the war hampered telegraphic communication between mother country and colony that it is now almost a rule for telegrams to take 10 to 12 days. If Holland re
mains true to its free trade policy, the Rotterdam Chamber anticipates that
6he may after the war fill an important
role as middleman between the present
belligerent countries, whose commerc
ial relations may not at first be of the
best description.

door of the garage for five gallons of

Whiskers wanted five gallons more
and was supplied. He next asked for a
quart of oil, and as John stepped into
the rear of the garage, Whiskers cranked np his machine, and was off in the darkness. Newbolt fired two shots after him with his revolver, but
without result. Yesterday no tidings
were obtained of his whereabouts, and

Two British Flyers Gitien War Crosses
LONDON, Sept 26 The latest list of recipients of the Military Cross includes two British airmen, one of whom accounted for five German airplanes in a single day and the other for seven. The award to Captain Anthony Wall is accompanied by the following explanation: "By his initiative and skilful maneuvering he led six hostile machines into an encounter with our own formation, during which five were destroyed. He had been equally successful the day before in misleading
hostile aircraft. The award to Captain Brian Baker says: "He led his patrol with great skill against a hostile formation, accounting for five enemy machines. Later he drove another hostile machine down in flames and destroyed another by diving 7000 feet onto it and firing at such close range as to nearly collide with it"
By what appeared to be miraculous answer to prayer, Hanna Hertl, three years old, kidnaped last Friday at Chicago, was restored to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hertl. But the return brought shock as well as rejoicing to the father and mother, for the child came back denuded of her long golden hair and bearing upon her little arm an indelible marking of the sign of the dagger and the double cross. The child Is supposed to have been stolen in revenge because her father identified one of three highwaymen who held him up a week ago. She was found at 7:30 o'clock in Nineteenth place near Halsted street Wanders to Church Undirected, she wandered to the steps of the Slavic Lutheran Church of SS. Peter and Paul, in which the parents just had completed prayers
for her recovery. A neighbor who had seen Mr. and Mrs. Hertl quit the church carried her to the Hertl home. Little Hanna was strangely changed when she was found. The long golden curls, that had reached, below her shoulders, had been sheared off, and the closely cropped head made it difficult even for the parents to recognize her. The shoes Hanna had worn last Friday morning had been replaced by a pair many sizes too large and of a different pattern. Even the underwear had been varied, a coarse handsewed garment taking the place of the finer one originally worn. Mark on Her Arm. The strangest mark left by the kidnappers, however, ' was on the right forearm. With an Indelible pencil a design had been scratched into the baby's flesh. It consisted of a perpendicular dagger crossing two hori
zontal lines. Detective Sergeants
Tedick and Walker of the Twenty-
second street station suggested that the marking was intended as omen
of further vengance.
The detectives agreed with the
father that the kidnappers intended
to hold the child in vengance for
the imprisonment of the one bandit
apprehended. Search for the other
two was continued last night.
The nearest to any information
Hanna could furnish was an : occa sional reference to "mans" and ,"girL
When asked who cut off her hair she
replied: "Girl." She said she also had lived with "girl" and that "girl
and "mans" had left her in the street
