Leader Says.

Factors.

Stockholm. Sept. 20.-There is only
one combination of circumstances
which IL likely to draw Sweden into
the war. in the opinion Of Hjalmar
Granting. leader Of the Socialist party
and the most likely candidate for Pre-
mier at the next election.
"If the English Swedish trade nego-
tiations fall through" said Mr.. Brant-
ing. land at the same time trouble
should arise in Finland. the situation
produced By these two misfortunes
would be alarming. II would then be
impossible to restrain the German
element of this country from rushing
into war. This element Is numerically
email. but it is powerful beyond its
numbers. We must not ignore the pos
sibility Of such a catastrophe. and
cannot help viewing the situation with
grave apprehension.

with England will be satisfactorily set

do not. therefore. consider this pros
pect of war particularly threatening at
the present time. but it is distinctly
within the range Of possibilities.
Socialists Want Peace.
"You know, Of course. that my party

for peace. A few days ago, three Of
our members were accused Of author

the Swedish point Of view in the whole
matter has been too narrow one.
Treat Both Sides Alike.
"The Swedish government has played
absolutely square on the question OF
the transit Of supplies 10 the Allies and
Germany She has held firmly 10 the
strictly neutral position of treating
both sides alike, without favortism
But the trouble has come through the

which the government has done all in

"The Swedish nation is still nfsmed
against Russia for the espionage and

GERMANY REFUSES TO PAY
Dutch Claims Like Those In tho Frye
Case Rejected.

The Hague, Oct s.-A private dis
patch received in The Hague says the
Supreme Prize Court in Berlin has re-
jected all claims In connection with
the sinking of the Dutch steamer Maria
in the South Atlantic last year by the
German cruiser Karlsruhe. This find
ing confirms the decision Of the Ham
burg Prize Court, which declared 1t
was almost impossible TO prove what
constituted provisional contraband.
The grain cargo of the Maria be
longed TO a private milling company in
Ireland. The court considers that the
grain might have been sold to the Brit
ish government.
The case OF the Maria is similar TO
that of the American ship William P.
Frye, sunk by the German auxiliary
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich.

VII ~ NOTES

The Fourth, Fifth and Sixth grades
have planned their spring entertain
ment and an extremity good program
is under way.
We regret to say that many boys
from the upper grades are now leav-
ing school. Among these are Gordon
Ramage and Earl ,Roney from the
high school.
The athletic association has made
plans for another county fair. They
have found a number of new stunts
which are we'll worth while. The
coach reports a very good track team.
Watch for the date of the county fair.
We made another change in our
faculty this week. Miss Sullivan has
accepted a position with the extension
department in the Agricultural Col
lege. Miss Violet Hoovel is a gradu-
ate from Minnesota and has had
several years experience in teaching.
Mrs. John Mahon has presented u
school with a splendid book case
which will hold about two hundred
volumes. Perhaps nothing is more
needed at present as many of our
books have to be stacked in corners or
stored in closets where it is impossi-
BILE for the pupils or teachers to find
readily just what they want. Mrs.
Mahon's loyalty to our schools is very
much appreciated.
To date we have somewhat over
2, 900 tardy marks in the high school
alone. This is many times what it
should be. The very significant fact
is not that this number is so large or
that the pupils lose so much by COM
ing in a few minutes after school has
begun, hut that day by day the habit
Of always being behind is being form
ed. 1t is very easy to form a habit,
which means n thing only, the re-
peating of an act; but the breaking
up OF a habit means two things, the
getting rid of the Objectionable act
and the putting of a more desirable
one in its place. Our schools should
be a place where right habits are
formed first and not as a remedy for
existing evils. Parents can do much
by cooperating with teachers to re-
move existing conditions.
