STOCKHOLM, October 26.-The result
of the general election, through which
the socialist party became the largest
one in the second chamber. has been q
general confusion regarding which
party is to form the new cabinet when
the war is over.
The socialists declare themselves not
willing to take the responsibility, but
would like the liberal party, which was
beaten In the election. to form the new
government. well knowing that this
would mean socialistic policy by means
of liberal cabinet. as the liberals not
being able to carry their opinion in q
division. would be quite dependent on
the socialists or the conservatives.
The socialists. on the other hand, not
withstanding. the fact -that-they count
one vote more than the conservatives.

the liberals. to accomplish anything In
parliament. The liberal party being

in the Swedish press. The suspicion is
wholly unfounded. Since the begin

Swedish neutrality. the expectation OF
these commodities has been: prohibited
by the Swedish government. The or

Regarding the increase in Swedish
imports of corn. which the London
Times quotes as -one basis Of the sus-
picion that Sweden is sending corn
to Germany. it is explained here that
this Increased importation is due sim
ply to the fact that Sweden's harvest
of common fodder this year has been
tent given to pigs. Thus the Ewedish
papers point out that the Swedish and
Danish export of pork and ham to
England depends largely upon the
supply of corn, which is a reason Eng
land should look upon this import with
sympathy.
When the war broke out Sweden was
short 50 per cent of her usual Pc
tt oleum supply and Denmark was In
a still worse plight. which accounts
for the present importations Having
the opportunity to import Sweden is
to cover her own require
ments, for there is constant fear that
traffic may be stopped at any time.

here, since Sweden, a long

EXPORTS TO GERMANY
DENIED III STATEMENT
Secretary of Norwegian Chamber of
Commerce in London Pre-
sents Figures.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
LONDON, October 25.-G. Aargaard
secretary of the Norwegian chamber OF
commerce, in London, declares that
charges against Norway in connection
with alleged exports to Germany, are
absolutely incorrect" He presents the
following figures:
1.-The total imports into Norway of
grain of all kinds in the first ten
months of 1913 were 10000 tons. The
total imports this year, including ev-
erything contracted for delivery up to
the end of this month. are 366,771 tons.
The Importation of coal into Norway
was 1,923,16S tons. This year there is
a falling off to 1,684,71S tons.
Coke Importation Decreased.
THE importation of coke during the
first nine months Oh 1918 was 2O5,O25
tons. This year there is falling off
to 170,43s tons. No coal or coke has
been re-exported from Norway except
fishing steamers at Iceland and the
Farce Islands.
."The total import of petrol this. year
up to the present moment is about 1900
tons. including a cargo of about $50
tons Just arrived. -
the British public should have correct
on this point, because, ow-
ing to the present critical conditions, it
is important that Norway should lay in
as large stocks as possible of grain,
coal and oil. and it is intended to in
crease the imports rs far as financial
facilities will allow"

The ministry has now warned farmers
that steps will be taken to import flour
from America. Meanwhile the military
authorities have taken more decisive
action by requisitioning large quantities
of flour, paying considerably below the
market prices for it. AS; consequence
the grain trade of Hungary is now at d
complete standstill, dealers refusing to
take the risk of losing heavily at the
next requisition.
AS. the military. must have more flour
soon, the whole situation is becoming

A Girls Allowance.

In the August Woman's Home Com

Ideas for Girls" One Of the sugges-
tions en- this page has to do with the
monthly allowances for girls. The
writer says that the charge is often
made by men that women are eXtrav-
agart, bht she asks whether the men
have rever realized that the remedy
DO their share in training their own
lies in their own hands-that if they
the women of the next gen.
Grafton will have some knowledge of
money. The writer goes
on with the suggestion:
"No; the real solution is more in
elusive. If your daughter is ever to
know the value of money, you must
teach her to keep accounts and to
live within whatever sum is allotted
her.
Figure up approximately the entire
amount you have given her for clothes
during the past year. If she is the
sort of girl who asks frequently, or
for large sums at q time, knock off
SO or SIS from the lump sum; if she
asks hut seldom, and then reluctant

keep within this limit.

plan she will learn to keep accounts,
to do business by check, to plan and
shop for herself, and to live within her
income.
