DUTCH CHILDREN IGNORE
ALL NEUTRALITY IN TOYS
Tin Soldiers Must Wear Uniforms
Of the Armies They

Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, August 30.
-Disquieting rumors have reached
Dutch children to the effect that the
famoues toy-making town of Nurem-
berg, in Bavaria. may use the metal
which 1t has been putting into millions
of little tin soldiers for more real 'pur-
poses Of war. However true the re-
port may be, there Is as yet no serious
decimation in the ranks of the armies

reports. in fact. the tin-soldier armies
are increasing faster than any others
in Europe.
Although before the war Dutch chill
dren were satisfied with an indiscrimi-
sars and Cossacks, the nursery now
must be equipped uniformly with un-
broken lines of soldiers. with the child's
favorite always predominating in
strength of men and guns. If there is
any class in Holland that has entirely
ignored the neutrality stand it is the
children, who in the toy shops exhibit
their preferences. The toy dealer has
more than ever become a diplomat.
In Rotterdam 1t is very noticeable
that the toy shop generally displays
German soldiers, while in Amsterdam
1t is the French and British which are
shown. In the matter of naval toys
children also have marked preferences,
with Rotterdam windows displa ying the
German colors on dreadnaughts and
torpedo boats. while Amsterdam VIM
dows cater to the sentiment there by
giving the Franco British allies the
better show.

Forced to Coalition in
Cabinet
Continued from Page One,

ish public came as near to being shock
ed as It ever does, when it learned that
serious quarrel had arisen between
Field Marshal Sir John French and
his chief. Lord Kitchener, over the
question of munitions.
French had been bombarding the
war office almost ever since the war
started for an adequate supply of high
explosive shells. In nearly every dis
patch since Neuve Chapelle he had
been asking, begging, imploring and
even demanding an increased percent
age of this kind of ammunition. He
had plenty of shrapnel, but shrapnel
which was a very effective weapon
in the Boer war-was about as useful
against the strongly concreted
trenches of the Germans as water from
a sprinkling can Kitchener kept send
ing Sir John shrapnel in huge quanti-
ties, but ignored his plea for increased
percentage of high explosives, al
though, so his friends assert, there
were large stores of the latter avail
able One result of this lack of high
explosives at the British front was the
practical failure of the British in the
recent combined offensive which they
undertook with the French. In one
engagement the British lost Is, 900 men
in killed, wounded and captured, as
against the French 2000- although
the French were operating over a larg-
er front owing to the fact that the
British artillery fire had failed effec-
lively to clear the ground for the I'M
fantry advance.
Threatened revelations in this con
nection precipitated the crisis. The
Conservatives. who had supported the
government from the start. although
they had no say in the conduct of the
war. decided at last that it was time
to act. Bonar Law, their leader, inti-
mated to Asquith that he couir not
prevent ventilation of the scandal on
the floor of the house. The Liberals
