SWEDEN.

Dr. Sven Hedin. who became famous
throughout the world on account of
his explorations In central Asia, has
been expelled from the imperial geo
graphical society of Russia, from the
English geographical society. and from
the Savage club" of England. The
reason for this Wholesale expulsion
from heightened societies of which he
was once an honorary member. is to
found in the fact that he has defended
the policy of Germany In the present
war with a vehemence and enthusiasm
that can hardly be eclipsed. even in
Germany. The climax was reached
when he made personal visit to the
battlefields in France, Belgium and Po-
his observations. What made this book
particularly CALLING to the English was
the fact that even an English edition

II sometimes takes as much as four
or FIVE days, or the kilograms may
disappear entirely. It Is a singular
fact that the big business concerns
suffer the most. In fact It Is getting
to be almost impossible to do a regu-
