FORTIFICATIONS AT FLUSHING
"WILL HOLLAND PERSIST? By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, January 20. The Pall Mall Gazette says it is difficult to believe that the Dutch Government will hold out against the protests against the defence scheme, and adds that the Belgian protests will be pushed even to the point of war. GOVERNMENT CRITICISED. Received 22, 5.10 p.m. The Hague, January 21. During a debate in the States-Geen-eral, several speakers criticised the Government for devoting too much attention to coastal defence. They pointed out that a portion of the money asked for might more usefully be applied to completing the fortifications at Amsterdam, and improving the lines of defence by facilitating arrangements for flooding the low-lying portions of the country in war time.
