SWEDEN Is NEAR WAR?
NATION OPPOSED TO INTERFERE
ENcE OF TRADE BY BRITAIN.
Reported That Country VIII Join the
Teutons-Norway and Denmark
.day Aid Allies.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE area OF
war in Europe may be further widened
shortly by the entrance of the king
dom of Sweden into the conflict.
Official and authoritative informa-
ton received here is to the effect that
Sweden's reason will be the interior
ence of the British fleet with trade
between the United States and that
country.
The real ground for action, it is as
serted, will be the desire of Sweden
to profit territorially from Russia's de-
feats.
If Sweden should throw her forces
on the side of the central powers it
is regarded as altogether unlikely that
Norway and Denmark will be able to
keep out of the maelstrom which has
engulfed most of Europe.
Norway is additionally pro-English
in sentiment and policy, and Dem
marks hatred of Germany. because OF
the 1atters seizure and absorption OF
the lost Danish provinces" has not
been diminished by time.
The Scandinavian kingdom has q
total war strength of about 485,O0O
men. It's navy comprises one sea-go-
ing cruiser, Is coast-defense battle
ships, eight destroyers and more than
fifty torpedo boats and submarines. In
case of war the navy would cooperate
with that of Germany.
While there is no question that the
British fleet has interfered with trade
between the United States and Swed-
en-, and this government will protest
in a few days against violations of
American rights, as a matter of fact
there has been skiold increase in
commerce with that country. During
the last fiscal year the United States
sold to Sweden products valued at
$78,273,818, as against $14.644,226 dur
ing the fiscal year preceding the war.

HooF-AND-MoUTH DISEASE FIGHT
TO BEGIN NOVEMBER &c.
Experts to Plan Action at First Ma
tionaI Conference to Be Held
at Chicago.

Washington, Oct 9.-The first ma
tional conference of experts in hoof-
and-mouth disease will be held in Chi
cago November rs and q.
The department of agriculture is
sending out the call for the gathering
with view of deciding on plans to
wipe out the disease. The federal gov
eminent and each state is expected
to have official representation, along
with the packers, the stockyards, the
breeders associations, and banking
interests intimately concerned with
stock raising.
If accurate figures could be given
the shifts in the stock industry of the
country as a result of the hoof-and-
mouth epidemic would be startling
Department of agriculture officials say
that the business is moving westward
with great rapidity, and they attribute
this to the fact that the epidemic has
taken business away from the former
leading markets of the country.
Today practically the only state un-
der federal quarantine is Illinois,
and that is in large part because some
of the local courts in that state have
been willing to interfere with the en-
forcement of the federal regulations.
Great sections of the livestock yards
in Chicago, as they were described by
federal officials recently, are cleaner
than ever since they were constructed,
but there is no business going on be-
cause nobody can ship out of there.
In holding the forthcoming confer
ence 1t is confidently believe that in
the light of recent experience it is
now possible to make rules under
which a repetition of national cpl
demic will be impossible.

LANSING HINTS AT RECOGNITION
AFTER PAN-AMERICAN
MEET.
EMBARGO IS BELIEVED NEAR
Villa and Leaders of Other Factions
VIII Be Unable to Obtain Munitions
skinner Expected to Be Appointed
Ambassador to Republic.

Washington, Oct. PA formal an
nouncement was made on Saturday
by the secretary of state following q
Pan-American conference which as
sures the recognition of Gen. Venus
tiano Carranza as president de facto
of Mexico
Here is the statement issued by Mr..
Lansing.
''The conferees, after careful con-
sideration of the facts, have found that
the Carranzista party is the only party
possessing the essentials for recogni-
ton as the de facto government of
Mexico, and they have so reported to
their respective governments.
In accordance with this decision the
United States Immediately will &C
credit diplomatic representative to
General Carranza.
1t is believed in Washington the Eu-
ropean government will follow the
lead of the United States.
The president is considering Rob-
ert P. Skinner, who has been with
drawn as consul general in London
because of British objections to the
character of trade reports he submit
ted to the state department, for ap-
pointment as ambassador to the Car
rama government.
Diplomatic relations thus being re-
stored between the United States and
Mexico, as presided over by General
Carranza, President Wilson will enter
into negotiations for settlement of the
various questions which have arisen
as result of the revolutions that
have devasted the neighborhood re
public"
1t will be the presidents duty, in
accordance with the obligations to the
head of friendly state, to prevent
the United States from serving as a
base for revolutionary movements.
He will issue a proclamation reap
plying the embargo on munitions, as
far as Mexico is concerned.
In other words, General Villa Is no
longer to enjoy any support from this
country

FIancee Hears President Urge ostra-
cism for Those Who Use This coun-

During Great War.

Washington, Oct. 10. President
Wilson for the first time bitterly at
tackled hyphenated Americans who
sought to stir up trouble for the
United States. His attack was made
in stirring address on Monday before
the Daughters of American Revolution,
who celebrated the twenty-tifth ami
versary of the founding of their So
ciety. The presidents fiancee, Mrs.
Norman Gait, and her mother, Mrs.
Boiling, were in the audience.
II would great deal rather draw
pepper up my nose than incur the hos
tility and dislike of my neighbors,"
the president said. Anything is prefer
able to ostracism. This is just the
sort of discipline SHOULD be melted out
to those within our borders who do
not think of America first.
Now we have come to time OF
special stress and test" the president
declared. There never was a time
when we needed more clearly to con-
serve the principles of our own plat
form than this present time. There
have been some among us who have
not thought first of America, who have
thought to use the might of America
in some matter not of Americas
originative and they have forgotten
that the first duty of nation Is to
express it's principles in the action OF
the family of nations and not to seek
to aid and abet any rival or contrary
ideal
II would not be afraid upon the
test of America first to take census

cause they believe in America.
