Discussing the possibility of an invasion of Holland, the Amsterdam correspondent of an English journal stated on August 4 that Holland's mind was made up. "If the invader cannot be driven oft, the country will be given back to the water from which it was won," ho said. "At every sluice-gate on the network of dams that are Holland's earthworks against the ever-threatening water, there are soldiers awaiting one order. Once that is given the gates will bo opened and the water will rush in to cover hundreds of square miles of land, whether village, crop, or pasture, round Amsterdam. Only the capital will remain, her huge ring of dams keeping the water back. Here the Queen will reside with her Government, surrounded by a vast shce* ijf water too deep for troops to march through, too shallow for boats that would be of any service. If ever the moment comes for Holland to make the great sacrifice 1 , i the people from the countryside will be brought into Amsterdam and all the catit.le driven in to victual the city. Tlhere is a special committee in Amsterdam I at this moment ready to deal with the 'matter. Given an hour's notice tney can house 200,000 from the countryside, Bonie billeted on the citizens, others sheltered under canvas in the. squares ill public schocli ami other public buildings. There are huge supplies of food that can be drawn upon at once. That is how Holland will meet the. invader who overcomes her first line of defence. A people who can calmly plan this desperate. sacrifice may be excused if they do not cheer the prospect of war."
