FOOD:BARGES RAIDED ' BY HOLLAND WOMEN Vesssis, With Potatoes For England Dutch: Between Two Fires. , London, June '25.—A despatch to the Times from Amsterdam reports that a crowd of women ‘stormed a doxen barges In the inner harbor of Rotterdam Saturday and seized about ;. ton of potatoes destined for Eng- and. Theé barges, which were loaded Wwith 11,000 tons of potatoes, were | -then removed to the outer harbor, | suarded by ‘police. ‘Trouble, whereof the foregoing is a mere incident, has arisen, accord- ing to the correspondent between Holland and England. and Germany. “Germany expected last week a ' co aignment potatoes in return for. German éxports of coal-to Hol- land. Before a. consignment could be made, 11,000 tons of old potatoes had to be shipped to England under contract. The people of Rotterdam who are themselves insufficiently supplied, learning that these potatoes ‘were awaiting shipment, raided t! barges. Meanwhile the Germans are threatening to cease coal supplids, uniges the potatoes are sent. The correspondent says if the Dutch yield to German pressurs and send these potatoes to Germany they will break their agreement with Eng- land and endanger their supply of srain from America which might prove as serious as the lou of Ger- man coal.
