SWEDEN.

The Russian nationalist press as
sures the country that Sweden al
ready has entered into an alliance
with Germany and has bound itself
in the event of a Russian-German
conflict to send troops to Finland.
The economic conditions between
Sweden and Russia, which had i'm
proved steadily for several years, al
ready have felt the effect OF this view
OF the situation. Premier Hammar-
skjold's foreign minister, Knut Wal
lenberg, too advantage of the oppor-
tunity to say, on behalf of the gov
eminent: "The reports about Swed-
ish alliance are false. Our cabinet,
like its predecessor, has not deviated,
nor will it, from it's old policy Of neu-
trality. The dividing line between the
two cabinets consists only in the tech
nical question of the extension OF the
period of military training. We find
that a year is required for the more
or less satisfactory development OF
the conscript; In other countries this
time is two or three times longer. The
military reforms now in preparation
are not exclusively on account OF the
fear of Russia, but are called forth by
the necessity Of being ready for all
eventualities."

of Sweden. This time he asks the
courts to compel King Gustav and his
brothers and Queen Dowager Louise
of Denmark to let Johansson investi-
gate the records of the estates of
King Karl XIV and King Oscar l..
Johansson is not daft on general
principles, but on the subject of Helga
de la Brache he seems to have loose
screw somewhere In his makeup.
