visit calmly. They believe he will not
disturb present tendencies. Should he
do so, they say, other forces would come

/ King Oscar has circulated the infor-
nation that Emperor William suggested
no plan to him that would in any way
menace the peace of northern Europe.
This is understood to mean that the
German ruler is making no attempt to
close the Baltic. The Swedes, it is in
timated- would answer such an attempt
by declaring for an isolated position.
The only alliances dreamed of in the
Swedish capital are alliances, which
would align the Scandinavian countries

NOW HEDIN SAYS
WAR IS UNLIKELY

glory upon his native land of Swe-
den, by his successes as an explorer in
Central Asia, has also doomed large in
England and America as an expounder
of the union crisis from the Swedish
standpoint. His worldwide fame has
made his utterances seem important,
just as those of Nansen in behalf of
Norway have seemed important. AS a
matter of cold fact, however, DR.. Sven
Hedin is not political heavyweight in
Sweden: Never before has he mixed In
politics and now his words are not lis
tened to here with great attention. He
is recognized as daring and success
full explorer and as scientist of stand
ing, but no one here seems to be able
to understand how that gives him spe-
cial insight into things political. It is
known, Of course, that he stands. very
close to King Oscar, who is said to love
him almost as if DR.. Hedin were his
own son. So great is the king s affec-
,tion for DR.: Hedin that he has from his
| private fortune aided the explorer to
push his scientific projects.
Belligerent Statements.
But DR.. Hedin has contributed many
articles to the English press on the cri

! gave vent to some rather belligerent
Sentiments. It was while he enter
tanned these ideas that Dr. Hedin ad
dressed his appeal to the Swedes II
America, asking for help for military
defense and giving expression to some
bitter arraign1nents.' Now he appear
to have changed his tactics in marked
degree. Since. King Oscar has taken s,
pacific an attitude and has caused it t,
be known that there must be no wa
between the two countries, a distinc
change is to be noted in Dr. Hedin's at
