NATIONAL SAFETY
WINS IN SWEDEN
Election Fought on Fear of Russia
Coalition Against Social
lists First Result.

Stockholm. May 20.-The political crisis
In Sweden has passed with the holding OF
the general election, but the results do
M, indicate a permanent solution or the
question of natural defence on which the
election hinged. The number OF Con-
sentative members has been Increased
from 65 20 IS, and the Socialists from %
10 Il. while the Liberals, hitherto the
dominant party, have been reduced from
,oo 70 70 in the second chamber, which VIII
soon convene here.
The increase in the Conservative poll
uas due TO the general feeling of unrest
IN regard 10 the foreign situation, which
,s believed at least to menace the terri
,orial integrity of Sweden. The Con-
servat,ves went TO the polls with the cry
~ National Safety First" and this
rather overshadowed the other issue oil

and Parliament.
Sweden is becoming imbued with the
idea that Russia contemplates war asaihS'
her within the near future, and recent
espionage cases have served 70 cohiirH

messed by the King in his speech TO ,he

other questions. 10 vote considerapie

navy should be returned in majority
N Parliament. The Liberals, wmle MOI
going as far in support of this policy as
the Conservatives, will certainly bacF

the Socialists AS soon, however, as this
question is settled the alliance between
tho two parties will cease at once, and a
serious conflict between the throne with
the left wing of the Legislature may ther
be expected.
Neither the Liberals nor the Socialists
both elected on a Republican platform
Will consent 10 form a Cabinet unless
the King promises that such Cabinet
will be free from any influence not

against any coup like the Kings speech

IL Is evident that the Conservative
press accepts this view. for IL is already
beginning to plead for a reconciliation
with the Liberals. who during the hea
OF the recent campaign were denounced
by the same press as being nothing bu
traitors and political adventures.

TRACTION EXPERT
Home Talent Discarded in
Attempt to Meet New
Conditions.
rFrom Tn. Tribune Correspondent,

London. May 23.-Ever since the ap-
rointment Of X. W. Thornton the Eng
lish newspapers have widely advocated
the choice OF an Englishman for any SUI
perior position in connection with rail.
ways, but an awful Jolt has been adj
.ministered lately. for last week N.
Marriage, director general Of the Com
pagnie Generate des Omnibus de Paris,
was imported by the London County
Council to make a report on how 10 bring
tramways up to date. He has once be-
fore been called in by the council TO adj
wise It about the running Of trailers
The newspapers take the viewpoint that
1t was all right to call in NJ Marriage TO
consult about the trsilers, but that there
are plenty OF English engineers who know
all about tramways. Walter Reynolds,
one OF the leading members Of the Lon
don County Council. described the i'm
portation of the French expert as a
frank confession OF failure" which was
not at all palatabIe to many OF them. 1T
has come as great surprise he said.
land personally / do not understand II at
all. Paris is only one-thrd the size Of
London, it has nothing like the traffic
TO deal with, and our men here have far
more experience
LAS matter of fact, We have some OF
the finest engineering brains in the world
in dealing with traffic and tramvay prob
lens, and | cannot understand why We
should not call I'm an expert AT home. We
do rot want TO follow the example OF the
Great Eastern Railway; we are quite
competent to deal with our own prob
lens.
we seem to have got into a terrible
mess with our tramways. and the reason
is that we have gone wrong from the
financial, not the engineering, point OF
view.
1T is opposite just now 10 recall a little
history. Before the moderate reformers
came into power, and when the Progres.
ives were fully determined 10 launch
into municipal tramway operation, the
Moderate party fatty refused to have any
thing TO do with the proposal On one
occasion they went the length of leaving
the chamber and refusing to vote, so
alarmed were they at the prospect.
They warned the Progresslves Of the
ruinous course they were embdrkinS
upon, and no prophecy has been more
amply justified. A new power has been
developed in the notorious, and the
tramways have had to take second place.
This is not only our experience, but that
of every place where tramways have met
strong competition.
Now we are the trustees for this nor
rible legacy and we are doing our duty
by it. And we are able TO do that duty
ourselves. II seems TO me Ike confess
sion OF failure to call in a Frenchman

RUSSIA THREATENS
BIG TRADE FIGHT
Ban Put on Export of
Horses and LabOrerS
for Harvest Time.

Berlin, May 2l.-It is not only as pos
sible military opponent that Germany is
uneasy about Russia. The tone of the
press daily shows that there is much
anxiety over the possibility of a trade
war. as well as much uneasiness over
what is believed here to be a growth OF
anti-German sentiment in the big empire
on the east
In some of Russia's recent steps Ger
man observers believe they see COM
bination of military and trade purposes.
one of these is the prohibition OF the
export of horses destined to keep in Rus
STA all available mounts for cavalry
forces, but which also affects German
business interests. The already reported
proposal to forbid Russian laborers from
coming to Germany each harvest time
would be a severe blow to the agricul-
turists and the proposed increase of i'm
port tariffs on grains. now under con-
sideration by the Russian government
would practically cut off an important
market.
Germany exported to Russia last year
231 .Coo tons of rye 1000 tons Of wheat and
900 tons of oats. These figures do no,
include the considerable exports to Fin
land
The long detention at Perm OF Hans
Berliner and his two companions. who
landed there after a record flight in their
balloons. and the determination of Rus
sian authorities to bring them to trial on
charges of espionage are generally con-

As a result OF his experience the Rus.

whom the dealings are had are willing
to furnish cash bond TO assure the
Russian agents against being arrested.
Naturally. no one will risk the loss OF
