SWEDEN A CATSPAW RE VIOLATION'S nuidi' liy Iho (Icpartiiicnt of stato show that the Swedish (liploinath; service lias been made a catspaw to pull (ierniaii chestnuts out of: the i'ire. A'h(?ther the iraetiee of transmitting messages from Cier inan envoys thru the Swedish legations is universal is not yet proven, tho there are indications that it is. At any rate, the proof is at hand in Argentina and Mexico, and suspicious circuinslaiiees indicate similar practices in the United States. Tt will he remembered that when Ambassador Berns torfT was sent home, a trunk containing his records was seized at JIalil'a.v, bearing the official stamp of the Swed ish embassy at Washington and the Swedish consul at Xew York, showing I hat Sweden was lending its diplo matic service to aid Oermany in the United States. The British-censorship long ago revealed that it was thru Sweden that (lennany received most of its information concerning the sailing of Ameri4hi ships. The sympathy of the Swedish government has been with Germany since Ihe war began, and there is every probability that the abuse of Swedish diplomatic privi leges to aid (icrmany Jiaa secret government sanction. Swedisli neutrality lufs had strong pro-German leanings, tho th(! Swedish people have themselves been divided, but since the Russian revolution eliminated the Slav menace, popular sentiment has been iro-allyv Autocracy in Europe is pro-German, not only because the existence of autocracy is at stake, but because all the royal families are of. German origin. Sweden does not differ from the rest. Like Greece and Russia, Sweden has a German queen. .. .. Queen Victoria, wife of King Gustav V. of Sweden, was Princess Victoria of Laden, when she married the present, ruler of Sweden in 1S8I. Laden is one of the largest, most populous and most important of the southern German states. Allho Sweden was ostensibly neutral, there has been no doubt about where Queen Victoria stood in the present world war. She has been in close touch with her home land llii'uout tin; conflict. She has offered personal succor, and has intrigued her country into offering the aid of a pseudo-iieul.raj iu furnishing i'oodstuffs and mili tary supplies. Queen Victoria has spent much time in Germany. She was at Karlsruhe, Germany, during the British air raid on that pi ace in the middle of .1915. It increased her inborn hatred of the British. She has not dissembled. She has repeatedly proclaimed her pro-German sentiments in public. The Swedisli crisis is closely linked with the drive on Pctrograd. These! rt'cont German successes have been expected 1 lure Sweden into the war with the object of making the B;fllic a Brusso-Swedish lake, restoring an cient naval power to Sweden. But the. Swedes are more valuable to Germany as neu trals. The Swedish standing army numbers oniy 75,000. There are oLM.OlK) reserves, and a total available unorgan ized strength of about 500,000 a maximum field force of over a million men. lowever, Sweden in the war would be unable to outfit and iiinnit ion these troops. Diplomats agree the kaiser would rather have Sweden a funnel for supplies for his own troops already organized, than to lose this source of raw material and have a larger military force, with a shortage of munitions and supplies. The Swedish naval strength is negligible. It is -not needed by Germany in the Bailie, and it would not enable Germany to force an issue in the North sea. NO TROOPS TO BE FED IN MEDFORD, T Of tho many thousands of soldiers who will pass thru MoiU'onl next, week en routo from San Francisco to Camp Lewis at American Luke, Wash., none will stop here for break fast or any other meal, hut Ashland and Grants Pass nnd other Oregon cities will reap some financial ben cfit by fecdinj' lunge detachments of the soldiers. Med ford lind a chance to j;ot a por. lion of this business when on Tlinrs- day the (iiartemiustcr,s department of the nriny wrote here anil asked if the city could arrange to feed 3(130 soldiers on the morning of Septem ber 211, the department to allow CO cents cneh for the military diners, The letter nlso stated that any profit neeruin from providing breakfasts for the soldiers could be rivcn to the Red Cross. Commercial club officials held n conference .Thursday afternoon nnd decided to ask for further details be fore iviiiK an answer. The quarter master's department, evidently decir. intf Mcdford too inquisitive, immcdi alely after receiving the request for more detailed information, wired buck to Soulhern Pacific Af?ent Van Wanini; that they hud chunked the fecdinjr schedule nnd no soldiers would he fed lit Mcdford. In the meantime, Secretary Lattu of the C'oinmeroiiil e!u!: wired to Snn Fmnr ciseo that Medford could feed tlio soldiers, but no answer had been re ceived lip to this afternoon. According to present plans, Ash land will feed .7.'I00 of Ihe traveling: soldiers, Grants Puss 14-1II of lliem on Ihe mornings, of September 20, 21 and 2.T; liosebur'r 7."illll, Albuny 2-10(1, Kugene 1074, und Siilcni 001. l!cd dinff.
