HOLLAND ENVOY TO U. S. AFTER DUTCH SHIPPING AX ATLANTIC BOUT, Feb. Feb. S. Ships for Holland are needed imperatively, Augustus Phillips. Holland's new minister to the Fnited .States, said upon his arrival here Thursday on the Dutch steamship Nieuw Amsterdam. He declared one cf the aims of his diplomatic duties would be consummation of arrangements which would enable Holland to obtain more shipping, as lack of this had cut off supplies from the outside world to an extent so alarming that industries were closing down all over his country. Food and fuel are needed chiefly, Mr. Phillips said, not only for th? Dutch people but for the hundreds of thousands of French and Belgian refugees and the interned war prisoners of Fnslish and German nationality. Food prices have doubled in recent months, he declared. Mr. Phillips estimated that about To or 0 Dutch vessels, aggregating 1.000, 000 tons, were on the American side of the Atlantic. The Nieuw Amsterdam was the lirst Dutch ship to cross the ocean from Holland it, manv weeks.

URGES ICE MEN GET BUSY; NEW YORK, Feb. S. John Jlitchell, chairman of the federal board of New York state, urged all ice manufacturers in a statement issued Thursday to lay in at once surplus stocks of natural ice to meet the shortage of artificial ice which nay bo created by the use of ammonia by the government for ammunition. Mr. Mitchell said that a telegram t-ent recently by him to Gov. Whitman to the effect that the government would not commandeer the supply of ammonia used in making ice in X?w York city was interpreted to man that there would be m shortage of artificial ice during thi summer. While it was true, he said, that the ammonia now in ice malting machines will not be commandeered, there was. nevertheless, a constant leaks ge and loss of th liquid from the machines which made it likely that ice manufacturers would not have a sufficient suprly to run them after the beginning of the season.
