SCANDINAVIAN
COUNTRIES MAY
GO TO WAR, TOO
Brooklynite Believes Sweden
and Norway Will Be
Involved.

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-That
Sweden and all of scandina-
via may be the next countries to
become involved in the general con-
hict now raging in Europe, and THAI
the problem of 'bottling up. the
Russian feet ia the Baltic is the i'm
mediate concern of Germany. is the
opinion expressed by Cleveland
Rodgers, BsookIynite. who arrived
IN New York yesterday from st.
Petersburg, via Finland the Baltic
and Copenhagen.
While all of Europe is now a
battlefield. the most decisive and
significant news of actual fighting
Yet received on this side of the
Atlantic relates to the reported oc-
ohpation of the Aland Islands, liz
tho Gulf of Bothnia. and the activi-
ties Of the German and Russian
nay.es in Baltic waters. with the
reported "bottling up of the Rus
man fleet in the Bay of Finland Mr..
and Mrs. Rodgers. who came in on
the Frederick VIII, of the Scandal
vta1-American Line, left st. Peters
otrg three weeks ago,
II was not much of a surprise
said Mr.. Rodgers, ito receive the
news by wireless that Russia and
Germany were at war. Having Just
come from Russia 1t was impossible
to come to any conclusion other
than that Russia was feverishly pre-
pairing for war, and it was hanging
over the country like a pail all the
time we were there We were in
Stockholm when the news of the
assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand was received. and we left
shortly afterward for st. Petersburg
Just how or when war would start
1t was impossible to foresee, but 1t
was in the air even then.
Sweden was panicstricken. All
the well-informed Swedes knew that
Russia was preparing for some gil
gantic move. and, quite naturally,
the Scandinavians were convinced
that all of Russia was coming after
that country. Politics were seething.
The Liberal party was being split
In two over the question of national
defense, and the Friends of Defense,
drawn from both the Liberal and
Conservative parties, were franticai-
ly trying. to form new party to
build up their defenses. The King
had promised his support to the
Friends of Defense, and there was n
growing feeling that it was time for
all Sweden to arm against a Rus
sian invasion.
Sweden, weakened by the recent
separation from Norway, and lack
ing the support from England that
would naturally go to the latter
country, felt herself being isolated
and feared that she might share
the fate of Finland. However, all
that has been changed, and Sweden
is no longer alone in the north. Just
how far she win support Germany.
now that she has an opportunity of
removing the Russian menace, is
one of the phases of the situation
that is fraught with significance to
all of Scandinavia, for Denmark
must logically oppose German ag-
gression, and the old hatred of the
Danes for their enemy to the south
is very real just now. Norway, on
the other hand. has q Danish prince
and an English princess on her
throne, without much love for either.

French Reserve Captain
Smashes Safe to Secure
$4,000 in Time for Ship

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-With only
thirty minutes to reach the French
line pier and get aboard the Lorraine
yesterday, Captain Andre Soulange
Bodin discovered in the Vanderbilt
Hotel that he had lost the key to his
safe deposit box there.
With his son. Lieutenant r. Sou
iange Bodin, he had been rushing
preparations to seize their chance of
joining their regiment in their native
land.
Ten precious minutes were spent in
a search that proved vain.
Send for man with an axe the
harried soldier shouted at last, ana :
mechanic rushed from the basement.
He smashed the lock of the safe de-
post box and drew it open before the
owner.
Then the mechanics eyes popped at
the sight of stacks of gold coin. Cap
tain Soulange Bodin Snatched UP the
rolls, $4,000 of which he had obtained
in French coin a week ago, and with
his son rushed for a taxicab. They
caught the Lorraine with only sec
onds to spare.

Former Governor Stokes
Asks Knights of Columbus
to Protest Against War

Special to the Evening Star-
TRENTON, Aug. Elm addition to
his plea to the Pope, through Bishop
McFaul, of this Roman Catholic do
cese, to mediate between the warning
nations of Europe, former Governor
Edward C. Stokes has enlisted in
the cause of peace the knights of Co.
lumbus. now holding their national
convention in ST. Paul, MINI.
Through Counsellor Peter Backes,
of this city, the appeal of the former
Governor to Bishop McFaul was for
warded to James A. Flaherty. SUI
preme knight of the Knights of CO.
lumbus, as follows:
TT Is rather presumptuous for a
non Catholic to suggest to you what
can be done under the rules of your
church, but it occurs to me that the
Pope might make a stirring appeal to
the world on behalf of humanity and
offer the College of Cardinals or
proper representatives therefrom as
medfators between the conflicting
Powers. The Catholic churches of this
country, / should think, could hold
meetings and protest against this ter
rible carnage of war. If this amount
ed to no more than a manifest dec
laration to the public that the Chris
tian Church was opposed to war, it
would at least free Christianity from
the suspicion of acquiescence in the
present condition by its apparent
supineness. Christianity owes this
much to itself, If not to the world
IF this general European war goes
on unchecked, men, in frantic despair,
will say there Is no God and en-
throne the goddess of reason, as was
done in the French Revolution"
Counsellor Peter Backcs also wired
the knights of Columbus asking
Them to pass resolutions in behalf
vi peace.

.UNSK|LLED LABOR
SUPPLY HIT BY
EUROPEAN WAR
Stopping Of immigration and
FIocking Home of Reservists
DepIetes Market.

The fact that reservists of the
various European nations now en-
gagged in war have f1ocked to New
York city in an effort to reach their
home countries and take UP arms has
resulted In an unexpected difficulty
for the farmers of this country.
! This is lack of labor to aid in the
harvesting and movement of the huge
crops that the country has in sight
| for this year. 4 great many of the
reservists who are now so anxious to
get back to their home countries are
unskilled laborers, just the type of
men that work in the wheat fields and
on the big farms of the Western
States.
These men have flocked to New
York just at a time when their SER
vices are most needed by the farmers
of the United States. and as a result
! the employment agencies, particu-
larly in Greenwich and other New
! York city streets adjacent to the
Battery are overwhelmed with APP
| plications for farm laborers.
The agencies. instead Of, as usual
i having long llSIs OF SuCH men IeduN
and available for this work, have
none at all as their source of supply
was cut off almost entirely with the
declaring of state of war in Europe.
| The reason for this lies In the fact
| that most of the unskilled labor for
| work in the wheat fields and other
| places in the West is drawn from the
| immigrants coming into this country.
| As soon as they land in this country
many of the immigrants are at once
| taken in tow by the employment
agencies and kept in New York I'M
til such time as places as unskilied
laborers are found for them.
With all immigrant cut Off by the
war naturally there is a shortage in
| the labor market and wages are go
| ing sky-high In former years the
average wage paid for farm labor was
$50 to $40 a month and board. to-
gether with free railroad fare to the
place of employment. Right now the
agencies are offering $50 and even $50
month for unskilled labor and are
unable to get men even at that rate.
the highest ever offered in this coun-
/ try for a similar class of employ
| ment.
There is just one ray of hope for
the employment agencies. That is
/ ltdl lIldflN OI tHC ItotINlStE HfW III
New York when they find it is i'm
possible for them to get back to their
home countries will seek the employ
ment agencies and go back to work
as farm hands. Many of them will
| have to do so speedily or starve, as
| they rushed from their places of en-
| ployment to New York at the out
break of war with only enough money
to pay their fare, thinking that their
home governments would take care
of them after they reached New York
and send them home to fight.
This the home governments have
| been unable to do. and as a result
many of the reservists are now III a
penniless condition. Downtown New
York, near the Battery, where most
of the reservists have copyrighted, is
| fast becoming a section of men with
out places to eat or sleep. and pan
handling is rampant.
