city election, for the purpose of con-
sidering again the annexation of GER
tain territory of South Rock Island.

ians and Americans. The vessel on
which we made the journey TO New
York took every precaution, and at
night lights were shaded to give better
protection in case we were sighted by
any German vessel. Being in dark
ness, the German vessel must of neces-
sity come close before it could be de-
termined to what country our vessel
belonged. and they then must examine
the passengers before firing upon us.
We arrived in New York II days after
leaving Goteborg."
Sweden Ready to Fight.
When asked what preparation Swe-
den had made as provision against the
possibility of becoming involved in the
European difficulty. he said tina; on the
very day war was declared, Sweden
began to mobilize forces, calling out
first the able-bodied men between the
ages of % and So, and later all those
above the age of 20 and under 40.
Sweden is well prepared, and rather
than permit the Russians to come into
the country. Sweden will fight until
every man is dead. Fortifcations and
entertainments have been placed all
along the shores and $4,000 men now
occupy Cortland.
Il never was so glad to reach home

great danger of making the return
trip, but / wanted to arrive in due
time for the seminary opening and so

DR.. IlNDBERG TELLS STORY
AusUstana Faculty Member Says coun-

Rock Island Saturday evening after
an absence OF four months in Europe

lions in Sweden, where he was com
PEELED 10 spend the greater part OF
three months. much OF this time on
GC;tIand. Swedish possession in the
Baltic sea.
"On two different occasions It seem
ed that Sweden must take up arms the
doctor said. Russia, with 100000
men modified in Finland. asked for
permission TO pass through Sweden
BY railroad, and thus reach the heart
Of Germany by land. This request was
refused Some time later the emperor
of Germany sent special messenger
to the king OF Sweden. asking him 10
send $4,000 men TO oppose the Rus
SLAMS IN Finland This request was
also refused. Sweden lies in very
strategic position, and there is great
doub; as TO whether neutrality can be
maintained. No news OF this reached
the American press because of the
fact that ali messages pass through
England and are therefore subject &c
English censorship.
Left at Great Risk.
We had much difficulty in leaving
The island. and when We finally did
leave. we did so al a great risk. The
entire Baltic is full of mines, and the
day We left seven boats were reported
to have been blown to pieces. The
passage from Gottland TO the mainland
generally requires from seven to eight
hours. but so slowly did we proceed
that il required more than twice that
time. Having reached Sweden, we
experienced the same difficulty in OBJ
tanning passage for England and
America, as thousands of others who
have returned since the war began.
The best boats were not running, since
the owners did not wish 10 risk them,
and only the poorest craft made the
Journey between Sweden and England.
The floating mines were the most
dangerous. since We were piloted
through the stationary mines along the
Swedish coast by a Swedish pilot, who
was relieved by an English mine pilot
as we neared the English coast. The
fiCating mines, however. could not be
located. and in the course We were
pursuing. a battleship had been blown
70 pieces but a short time before. II
this accident had not happened, we
would have struck the mine. While
We were passing the Black, which was
2 perfect network of mines, a British
boat, carrying large number of Rus
SLAMS back 10 Russia, struck a floating
mine and sank.
Took All War Pictures.
Having arrived in England, we re-
manned there three days, and left Liv-
erpool after experiencing a great deal
Of difficulty in obtaining passage. We
were subjected a thorough search and
all those found TO have war pictures
in their possession were placed under
arrest All those who did not have
their citizens papers or passports
from the United States were examined,
and no one suspected on the slightest
grounds was permitted to leave the
country. English ships carried none

THREE CHURCHES
HAVE RALLY DAY
Broadway, Central and South
Park Hold Special
Exercises.

In Broadway, Central and South
Presbyterian churches yesterday was
observed as rally day, with special
programs to mark each service. At
the first named church the bible school
and church services were merged as
one, the pupils coming from the school
to the church auditorium to receive
their diplomas as graduates from the
various departments into higher
classes. The young people held spe-
cial services at $50 and the evening
hour of worship was also made a rally
service. Large audiences marked the
entire days meetings.
At Central church program appro-
pirate to the day was given with spe-
cial songs, recitations, drills etc, and
graduating exercises in the bible
school.
AT the morning service ia South Park
church a large audience filled the
church auditorium and an interesting
program was participated in by the
pupils of the school. Two classes were
graduated from the primary depart
ment into the school proper, one a
class of boys and the other of girls. An
offering was taken for the work among
the foreigners in this country.
At the hour of evening worship Mrs.
Aldrich. blind Baptist minister, adj
dressed large congregation on work
among the blind. She told of the
methods of instructng the blind and
made a plea for help. She is espe-
cially interested in the literature that
is prepared for the blind and asked for
a chance for the blind TO help them
selves. An offering was taken and
given TO Mrs. Aldrich for the work she
is carrying on.
