sWEDEs DETERMINED
TO REMAIN NEUTRAL
Political Parties United by War and
Patriotism Sweeps Country.


Stockholm, Aug. 22.-Patriotic fer
vor is sweeping Sweden, uniting all
parties into n single party which is
demanding neutrality in the present
crisis and favoring the extension of
obligatory military service to two
years and increased ornaments in ac-
cordance with the plans of the most
extreme mill:drists in the riksdag.
Mobilization is preceding perfectly.
The people are calm and confident. The
Swedes are determined to defend their
neutrality and independence at any sa-
crifce. Interest in politics, which or
dinarily is limited, has seized every
body, and even women and children
are taking part eagerly In the discus
sions. National feeling has not run so
high before in a hundred years.
Exports and imports have virtually
ceased. Prices OF food have risen and
credit on such goods is not extended
to anybody. Many employees have been
discharged and the salaries of others
have been cut. The banks have limit
cd to a minimum the right to draw
money on deposit, and have establish
ed a moratorium effecting all debts
for the period of a month.
During the past week thousands of
Russian refugees of all classes have
passed through Sweden, which was the
only way left open for their return
from the continent All have been
treated with kindness and hospital
itY.

University of Chicago Man Is a
Mathematical Wonder

Berkeley, Cal, Aug. 22.-It is 1851, =
06S,O00 seconds since the declaration of
independence was signed according To
81 second mental calculation of Ar
thur A. Gamble, a zI-year-old student
OF the University of Chicago, who APP
peared before a psychology class at the
University of California summer ses-
sion. The little task OF multiplying A.
9S7 by 1,S43 was performed in 30 sec
onds, and yielded the answer S,S9S,121,
which, after agitating the cerebral
tails for about 10 times 20, was found
to be correct.
"A race with an adding machine was
another effort that didn't seem to raise
very much perspiration on the Gamble
brow. DIR. Warner Brown, professor of
psychology on the Mills Foundation at
the university, before whom the dem
onstration was conducted, handed ST.
simultaneously to Bamble an expert
adding machine operator, list OF
figures, all of four or more digits, to
add. The Gamble think tank not only
beat the mechanical adder by a fair
margin. but handed Professor Brown
the answers correct to the last digit.
ION what day did February 22, 1882,
fall?" the mathema tiCal marvel was
"a ok cd
in almost less time than it takes to
write IT. Thus George Washington
puckered up his physiognomy for his
infantine wall on a Wednesday.
Little mental problems, such as ex-
tracing the cube root of 1855 and
dividing 254.91G by SIC, seem to come
to the "math shark" about as prompt,
ly and with as little disturbance OF
his equanimity as the sum OF plus
2 does to the ordinary individual. The
answers, respectively were Sc and 291
Professor Brown was unable to offer
any explanation OF the mathematical
prodigy. He merely gasped like every
one else. 1t is thought, however, that
the mental processes take place below
the threshold Of ordinary conscious
ness almost intuitively, which seems to
be borne out by the fact that Gamble
himself doesn't know, except in a very
general way, how he arrives at his
conclusions so promptly.
Unlike most prodiges, Gamble
seems to be wellrounded nice-ap-
pearing, versatile sort of fellow,
very much like the ordinary college
man. His father is a travelling sales
man. and has shown no extraordinary
mathematical capacity. His mother,
however is exceptionally rapid in cal
culating. Gamble has shown his un-
usual power over numbers since he
was five years old.

HANDBAG THIEF
AGAIN AT WORK


That a handbag thief. or gang of
thieves, similar 10 those which oper-
ated all over the district during the
early part of the summer are operat-
ing i'm the village OF Laurium again, is
apparent from reports which have
| reached the village officers during tho
last few days. A close watch is being
kept with the hope of detecting the
guilty party or parties
Yesterday a woman reported to
Marshal Wills that while working in
a potato patch some distance from her
home, some intruder secured an en-
trance and removed small sum Of
money from her handbag, also taking
two banks belonging to the children
and each containing a small sum Of
money.
In another instance this week, en-
trance was forced TO a home, whose
occupants were away on a camping
trip, but clearly cutting the pane OF
glass i'm one of the windows. A hand
bag was pilfered and child's bank
taken.
The officers are inclined to the be-
lief these depredations are the work OF
juveniles, the success with which this
theory worked in solving the petty
burglaries earlier this summer, lending
strength to the supposition. They con-
tend that the clemency usually exer-
cised in the juvenile courts, works to
disadvantage, i'm that IL influences 9TH
ers to the belief they also will be dealt
with leniently. During the carnival
this week, one Of the boys who had
been implicated in the handbag bur-
glaries earlier this summer, was de-
tected in the act of crawling through
the tent at one of the concessions at
the Laurium park carnival.
The officers take the stand that I'M
less severe repressive measures are
taken by the juvenile courts, when
cases OF this kind are discovered, they
are powerless to put an end to the evil
practices.
An instance of such vandalism came
to light this week, when workmen OF
the village took from tool chest
brass fire nozzeS worth in the neigh
borhood of IS and laid it at the edge
Of the sidewalk. In few minutes it
was gone. An Investigation led to the
discovery it had been sold to a junk
dealer The boy who sold it was APP
pretended and claimed he had recelv-
ed it from another boy in exchange for
his fishing reel and fish line. The lat
ter boy has not yet been apprehended.

ENGLISH TRAVELLERS PAY
HUGE SUM FOR BAGGAGE
Excess Charges in 1918 Bring Rail-
roads Sum of S42O00,O00.

London, Aug. 22-The travelling pub
lie paid the British railway compan-
les s42,000,00O for excess baggage in
1913, and this Notwithstanding the fact
that the Englishmen boasts that he
travels light compared with the aver
age American. The only way that this
great amount can be explained is that
the Englishman invariably sends his
luggage in advance and thus pays for
what ordinarily the companies would
carry for nothing. Here, as elsewhere,
every passenger is allowed a fixed
amount of baggage. The rate on eX-
cess, like that in America, is fairly
heavy, and this together with the big
revenue derived from carrying bag
gage in advance, which has to pay a
certain rate, helps to make up the
forty millions that are added to the
companies receipts.
