GERMANS DENY THAT
BELGIUM is NEUTRAL
Assert That She Fortified Against
Germany Under Guarantee of
English and French Protection.

New York, Aug. 25.-The military
expert of the chamber Of German
American Commerce, Inc, II Broad
way, has issued the following:
The sympathy for Belgium whose
neutrality was supposed to have been
so brutally violated by Germany will
crumble to pieces and England's mis-
sion as the protector in arms Of a
sacred treaty will be clearly under
stood If few undisputable facts not
brought out before are taken into con-
sideration-
Belgium is fortified on its German
boundary, whereas it has neglected
during the last thirty years to take
against its French and English neigh
bOrs- There is a secret Anglo-French-
Belgian agreement, the real existence
Of which was established at the be-
ginning Of the Morocco struggles.
Germany for a long time had
knowledge of this agreement and act
ed accordingly
England decreed the mobilization
Of its army on August 2, started the
transportation Of its troops to the con-
tinent in the night between the Sd
and 4th, sent its ultimatum regarding
the neutrality of Belgium on the 4th
OF August, declaring war on Germany
in the night between the 4th and
5th.
'sThe only course left open for Ger
many's self-preseryation was to antic-
ipate the passage of troops through
the neutral territory Of Belgium to
take possession Of its fotresses- The
quick and precise strategic movements
of its armies checkmated F'rench-Eng-
lish actions in Belgium
Every government that seriously
considers the inviolability OF its
boundaries, that desires TO protect its
neutrality at any cost. takes measures
to protect itself in all directions. i'm
partially against all neighbors, as we
find in the case OF Holland and Swift
erland.
1T is otherwise with Belgium Bel
GUM has never even tried to rely
upon herself Wooed for decades by
French and English politics. she al
ways confided the maintenance Of her
neutrality TO these powers.
This even went so far that French
engineers, under the supervision of
Gen. Brialmont constructed the Bel
gian fortresses- Since Gen Brial-
mont's retirement in 1856 up 10 the
present time, French engineers had
charge Of the moderniZation OF all her
forts. The entire Belgian army for
the last 30 years has been under
French instruction and influence"

TOY SHORTAGE
FOR CHRISTMAS
ISN0W CERTAIN
This Is the Time They Are
Annually Shipped From
Germany to U. S.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 25.-Whole
regiments Of German soldiers which
annually cross the Atlantic to America
about this time are being kept at home
this year, and there is no telling when
they VIII come, If at all Some OF
them possibly have started the trans
atlantic voyage and perhaps now ma
De on their way, with the danger OF
being captured by British warships-
But these regiments, while attired in
The uniforms Of the Fatherland, are
little troubled whether they fall into
British, French or American hands, for
they are Of the In and wooden va
riety, manufactured for the Christmas
trade.
Tin and wooden soldiers are about
the only kind that Germany Is Wiling
to have leave her domain now, but IL
begins to look as If the soldiers, the
dolls, the mechanical toys and various
other Christmas products Of German
ingenuity and handicraft are not des-
tined to take their accustomed places
on American shelves and show cases
this fall and winter unless Germany
succeeds in gaining mastery OF the
seas.
The big department stores which
carry Christmas toys and the whole
salers that distribute them are Won
dering what is to happen about all
those toys they ordered in Germany
last February. March and April It is
thus early in the year that the big
orders are placed for the following
Christmas and it is along in July that
the shipments to America begin to be
heavy, with August and September or
early October as the period when the
receipts Of foreign toys are heaviest
Of all
OF the toys brought to America from
abroad, the great preponderance are
from Germany. In the year 1911 the
value Of the toy importations into the
United States, according to govern
ment statistics, was SS,15lO33. In
1912. for some reason or other. the
total fell off to S7,727,4 09, but last
year IL jumped more than a million
dollars, with q total Of SS,S56,575.
Last year during the month OF Au-
gust there were received into the
United States toys valued at s1,405.5 S4,
Of which Germany contributed S1,272,-
z37 and other countries only S133,147.
In the matter of dolls there is apt
to be almost a famine. There were
some wonderful creations seen in the
Leipsic fair last spring, especially one
called the new voiced baby" which
by the movement Of one arm cries
both papa and mamma"
