SWEDEN FURIOUS
AT LOSS OF SHIPS
Newspapers Bitter in Attack
on German Warfare and .
Say Rights Violated.
3 GRAIN CARGOES SUNK
Sympathy for Kaiser Declared to
Have Gone Down With Vester
land, Aspen and Viken and
Bitterness Is General.
.
STOCKHOLM, via London, May 20.
TCews that the Swedish ships Vester
land. Aspen and "Viken. laden with grain
from England, had been sunk by sub
marines, was received here last night
and caused much indignation.
The arrival of the steamships, which
were released under the recent recip
rocal agreement freeing the entente al
lies' tonnage in the Bothnian Gulf, had
been eagerly awaited.
Ex-Minlster of Marine BoBtroem was
the chief owner of the Vesterland,
while the Trans-Atlantic Company, of
Oothenburg, owned the Aspen and
Viken.
The message which told of the sink
ing said eight members of the crew of
the ViKen and two men aboard the
Vesterland had been" lost.
Snrdlnh Papers Violent.
Newspapers were united today in voi
cing indignation. The Stockholm Tid
ningen captions its " article "the Ger
mans' dastardly deed against Sweden"
and says "it is deliberate and bloody
crime." It declares that a land capable
of such a deed in capable of anything.
The Dagens Nyheter says:
"Our German kindred land Is drawing
heavy drafts on the sympathies which
it believed itself to possess here." The
Kyheter declares no intelligent German
need wonder that his country has so
lew friends in the world. Dagblatt
says a share of indignation must be
vented on England which delayed the
departure of the steamers until after
May 1, but the first and foremost feel
ing must be bitterness against the Ger
man submarine campaign methods.
Sympathy for Germany Lost.
It adds:
"The sinkings may give further proof
of the danger of invading the blockade
zone, but it was sympathy for Ger
many, as well as provisions for Sweden,
that went down with the ships."
The Svenska Dagbladt says it is
plain that the Germans are "proceeding
without the slightest elementary re
gard for our rights as neutrals."
No theoretical defenses by Germany,
the Dagbladt adds, can prevent the
greatest bitterness from prevailing in
Sweden,
The Viken was built in 1916 and was
on her first trip. She was of 1820 tons
gross. The Vesterland was of 4018 tons
gross and built in 1907. The Aspen
was of 3103 tons gross and built at
Sunderland 20 years ago. All vessels
were owned in Gothenburg.
103-FOOT TIMBERS SHIPPED

REAL WORK IS UNDER WAY
Fifteen Companies at Camp Will Be

SAX FRANCISCO. May 20. (Spe

ous promotions of First and Second Lieu

of a call of men already commissioned
In reserve corps to active service be

camps.
There is no work at the training
camp Sunday for the men. But while

their first rest of the encampment, and
training camp headquarters were
transferred from the Presidio to Mar

ings and there are no calls to inter
rupt the slumbers of men outside the

The sun . and ocean winds of the
Presidio are beginning to make their
marks on the faces of the men in camp.
Talcum powder and other things that
are supposed to be good for sunburn
are much in evidence. Next week the
manual of the saber and the manual of
the bayonet will be added to the course
of instruction. The men will have a
two-hour march, carrying light kits,
one day during the week.

BRITISH ARMX HEADOI'ARTFns
IN" FRANCE, via London. May 12.
With the fall of Bullecourt. the cap
ture of chemical works, the occupa,
tlon of Roeux and the general evening
up of the British line, the first phase
in the new British offensive in France
is over.
Germane Beeome Uneasy.
For four days now the Infantrv has
virtually marked time. The artillery
activity, too. has been considerably re
duced. Various sectors of the front
which a few days ago were spouting
tire like volcanoes, now are only in
termittently shelled.
The Germans today manifest wonder
ment as to what General Sir Douglas
tiaigr can nave in mind and are send
ing a salvo of shells first here and then
there as if at a loss exactly what to
do, yet fearing not to do something.
This uneasiness also is apparent in at
tempted raids from lpres to St. Quen
tin and by officers suddenly appearing
at vantage points behind the enemy
lines eagerly studying the British
positions.
Battlefield Is Quiet.
The Prussians apparently are recon
ciled at the loss of Bullecourt. threat
ening Queant at the end of the Dro-
court-Queant support liile and also the
remainder of the Hindenburg line an it
does, for since the Prussian Guards fell
back during the night of May 16, the
ruins of the village have been fairly
quiet after a fortnight of some of the
bitterest fighting of the war.
Thus, during the short breathing
Bpeii, me uritisn situation is satisfac
tory. The Germans are menaced all
along the line where pressure Is being
kept up against them, notwithstanding
tne pause in tne lniantry operations.
What Infantry activities have de
veloped among the Germans in the last
four days have been feeble and easily

THINK of the immense amount of human
energy that is contained in one quart of milk.
Even 2 pounds of chicken, costing more than
four times as much as one quart of milk, has no greater
food value. Isn't it wise in the present increased cost of
living to use more milk to make milk our chief daily diet?
Tell Your Milkman to Increase
Your Order Today
Milk at 12 cents a quart is the best and cheapest all-around food
we can buy. Be sure and give your children plenty of milk. They
need it more than any other food. A quart of milk a day for every
child is a good rule, easy to remember.
