DOLL SHORTAGE
THREATENED BY
WAR IN EUROPE
Toys From Kris kTingIe Land May
Never Reach Here

Detroit. Mich. Aug. 6.-War may
keep Kris Krinclc from making his full
| rounds.
Right i'm Santa Claus-land in the
villages and cities Of eastern Germany
and OF Austria, is where the storm is
felt that has thrown all Europe into
turmoil.
Americans import direct from cen
trial Europe toys to the value of many
hundred thousand dollars year and
the height Of the importing season is
about "A month off. Many goods have
been purchased and are sidetracked in
Austria and Germany while the rolling
stock OF the railroads is being used
To transport troops.
while | hate a calamity howler
there is no Disgusting the fact that
Detroit business firms viii he SER
iously hampered If European hostili-
ties continue" said j. -. Richardson,
customs broker and importers agent
SIP Free Press building. Tuesday af-
tcrnoon. AS an instance, | have one
client who has paid $4,000 through the
European correspondent of his bankers,
for toys which have been shipped by
railroad in Austria and Germany
Frantic cabling has failed to locate the
goods. They have not reached sea-
board. In addition TO European rail-
road transportation Atlantic shipping
is demoralized. ! have note here
from the Hamburg American line that
it has withdrawn all its steamers, and
the same is true of practically all Eu-
ropean lines, except those that have
routes to Australia, Africa and South
America.
Insurance Rates Up.
AS for outgoing goods, | have held
back i'm the last As hours two full car
loads of Detroit manufactured prod
ucts bound for Europe, some OF them
especially manufactured for European
trade. We thought it might be prac-
ticable To ship by the American line to
Southampton, but this plan was aban-
doned because of the uncertainty of the
outcome as affecting overland trans
portation even i'm England.
Something Of the nature OF the sit
uation may he gathered from the in
creased rate on marine insurance. The
regular shippers insurance rate is 25
cents for 500 valuation. Loss because
OF war or riot is expressly excepted
from the regular policies. We are now
issuing war insurance at the rate of 10
per cent ad valorem. A Detroit client
has just paid $500 insurance on con-
signment worth $1,000 which is due to
arrive in New York in two days.
Need American Ships.
THE situation would be much bet
ter if we had an American merchant
marine, but it is well known fact
that 80 per cent of our shipping is in
foreign vessels, particularly English
and German. Some relief is looked for
In the opening of the Panama canal,
scheduled for this month"
IF the war continues. we probably
shall be unable to get large part of
our stock in time for Christmas" said
Charles ii. Werner Jr., of Charles II.
Werner d Sons, one OF the largest i'm
portcrs of chinaware, crockery and
toys.
