SCANDINAVIA FREE
FROM WAR WORRY
Especial Dispatch by the International
News Service)

Stockholm, Sept. 24.-Of all the
countries of war-mad Europe today,
Sweden and Norway are doubtless the
most free from excitement and appre-
hensicn. They are so situated geo.
graphically that there is little or no
danger of their neutrality being vio-
lated and they are in no international
alliances that might draw them into
the titanic conflict against their will.
Still both Sweden and Norway are
keeping watchful eyes ON the situa-
ton and are preparing for any emer-
gency. Both have modified part of
their armies.
There is considerable military activ-
/ ity all over Sweden, though the only
places where | have had it under close
personal observation are Upsala and
Stockholm. Not only are the sturdy
Landstorm forces being modified and
included in the active ranks, but the
night watch and various other miscel-
laneors watches and police forces
seem to be included also; the regu-
lar military are being conveyed-ap-
parently gratis-by train, tram or boat
to this or that station; and par,ies
cf what may be either yeomanry out
of uniform or entirely new recruits
are seen marching through the streets,
under the guidance of a couple of sol
Giere, with their limited kit in their
hands-all exactly, in fact, as in s..
Petersburg and the neighboring towns
nearly month ago. Remounts are
congregated in great numbers in vari-
Gus barracks.
The newspapers are discreetly silent
as 20 what this general mobilization
(Which is admitted) specifically pur-
ports, but it is plain from Germany's
receat action in Luxembourg, Belgium,
the Sound, the Belt and the high seas,
that she is fully resolved to stick az
nothing to secure her ends, and that

the German naval base of Heligoland,
so close that at times they appear to
touch each other, according to Captain
Skelley of the British oil tank steamer
San Lorenzo, which reached New Yorl,
today from London. For six weeks
the San Lorenzo was with this Brit
ish fleet, her officers said, as supply
ship for oil-burning war craft.
She took them $4,000 tons of fuel
Gil.
The San Lorenzo was with the fleet
during the engagement with the Ger
man cruisers behind Heligoland, but
was not permitted to steam close
enough to see the fighting.
Captain Skelley said a story was
current among sailors of the fleet
that Sir John r. Jellicoe was aboard
the submarine which sank the Ger
man cruiser Hela recently. AS to
this, however, he had no knowledge
further than the tale of the blueiack-
cts.
Outside the Ambrose channel light
ship, at the entrance to New York
harbor, Captain Skelley said there
were two British cruisers and Gu
lard liner, converted into an auxiliary
cruiser.

Finnish and Swedish steamers are now
daily bringing passengers over from
Raumo to Gefle and Stockholm. An
official announcement has been issued
to the effect that thenceforward neith-
er Russians nor Germans would be
allowed to land in Sweden, except rs

even this on one occasion only. A
number of German passengers were
thus sent back to Raumo.

now been found by German cruisers
about Aland to be free to neutral trade
as far as the Finnish viks" (i. e., wa
ters or inlets). A telegram on Friday
came to say that the Tornea (the Fin
nish steamer) had turned back to
Stockholm with her 122 passengers,
but that her Swedish rival had gone
to Raumo. The German consul gem
eral has published notification in the
papers to the effect that not single
German port is anywhere blockaded
by any fleet.
A notice has been placed on the
local 0stana steamers in English,
French and German forbidding any
foreigners to go on board at all. Sol
diers with fixed bayonets are guard
ing bridges and other means of inter-
communication. Tourists are no
