- = - - HOLLANDERS BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND DEEP SEA. SEA

London, June 25.-A dispatch to the Times from Amsterdam reports that a crowd of women stormed a dozen barges in the inner harbor at Rotterdam Saturday and seized about a ton of potatoes destined for England. The barges, which were loaded with ii,000 tons of potatoes, were then removed to the outer har- bor, guarded by police. The trouble has arisen, according to the corre- spondent between Holland and Eng land and Germany Germany ex- pected last week consignment of new potatoes in return for German exports of coal to Holland.
 Before a consignment could be made ii,0O0 tons of old potatoes had to be shipped to England under con- tract. The people of Rotterdam, who themselves are insufiiciently supplied, raided the barges. Mean while the Germans are threatening to cease coal supplies unless the po- tatoes are sent.
 The correspondent says that If the Dutch yield to German pressure they will break their agreement with England and endanger their SUD- ply of grain from America.
