TIE COLLECTION
OF IB RELICS
All European Schools in Neu
tral Countries Have the De
sire for “Weird and Strange
Objects.”
The Hague.—There is scarcely a
school in Kuropean countries remain
ing neutral which has not been struck
by the mania for the accumulation of
war relics. The desire for possession
of collections of weird and stratum
objects even extends to schools of the
belligerent countries.
First in the list of interesting items
comes bullets. How these bullets ever
find their way- from sortie Siberian
regiment into the hands of a Danish
urchin or how a piece of shrapnel
from the battlefield of the Alsnc is
discovered in the pockets of a lltt'.e
Dutch child are often limes strange
series of ingenious school boy bar
tering.
When the war continued its dreary
course and the supply of bullets in
creased, certain objects of murderous
intent began to pet certain specific
values. The old Belgian army bul
lets, made after a pattern of the year
1888. are not rated very highly. When
almost thirty thousand Belgian sol
diers marched across the Dutch fron
tier and threw away their arms, the
supply of those heavy bullets became
ao large that only beginners in the
field of collecting were willing to ac
cept them at all.
Neither does the true connoisseur
give much for the Kngllsh bullets.
Three thousand British soldiers were
deprived of their ammunition when
they w<re c,bilged to cross into Hol
land and tin made British bullets tvo
Comitiar to lie considered ait tleasur
Derm an bullets, which seem to bo
common enough In the country or
their origin, are rated high by the
children a broad. The same ran b*
said of the bronze pointed French bul
lets which, like (he German bullets,
unless they hit some vital organ,
merely make a neat little hole which
is easily cured.
But alas, honesty even in ibis child
ish mart of barter would not remain
for long. One boy who desired tils
neighbor's collection left the narrow
pat ell which runs between the right
mid wrong of the collector s code.
With an axe he changed hla common
Belgian bullet into a gruesome flat
nosed “dum-dum." The first speci
men of this terrible weapon was pass
ed from ban.’, to band with great awe.
It was exchanged for an entire collec
tion of regulation bullets. It remain
ed a aevcn days wonder.
Then the t-lek was discovered an 1
now dum-dum bullets are aa common
as June bugs in May. Not only in
the relics of death anil bloodshed does
the juvenile world of Europe keep a
bristling coil ctor's trade. The occu
pation of each other's lerritories by
the belligerent nations has developed
s' stamp craze. From the Orman
possessions which the English have
seized Jin the Pacific, from the terri
tory occupied b. the Germans, and
front the strip of land which is nil

issues have come. With the lakln.*
