Mr. Manley was born in Idncoln.

The Germans with what was practically a monopoly on toys, formerly exported into France some $4,00,00 worth of toys every year, par- ticularly leaden soldlers and doll heads. It is probably also true that the chil- dren of France, who form an army of #ome 5,000,00 were never so thoroughly equipped with war toys as they will be this year. There is no evidence from the stores that the preparation for the Christmas and New Year celebrations are any less elaborate than usual, and it is everywhere moticed that the win- dows and shelves are filled with aero- planes, Zeppelins, hand grenades, forts, rifles, pletols, sabres, machine guns, cannon, and soldiers dressed In uniforms of the British, Russian, Itaifan and |French armies and German soldiers too, for opponents. The old-time play- |things of children have entirely disap- peared from the stores. The children will not have anything that lsn't modeled |for warfare. 8o warlike are the girls that |the toys of the boys serve for them also, save for the dolls, and even they, instead of wearing their usual finery of silks and satins, are plainly dressed as Red Cross nurses with whole outfits of band- Ages and surgical instruments at their disposal. A surprising fidelity to truth and fact is shown in all the war toys, for if the toys were not so made they would not Sell.
