SWEDEN.

What will Sweden do?
This is question being asked with
increasing frequency here.
No one knows why Sweden should
do anything. But, that she will do
something shortly favoring one side
or the other in the great war seems
to be an established opinion in the
ally countries.
It is undeniable that popular opinion.
based on more or less reliable infor-
nation, is that Sweden shortly will
throw in her lot with Germany In
vestigation in diplomatic circles de-
velops these facts:
Germany is doing her best to bring
Sweden into the war.
There is party in Sweden that IA
vors Germany and is willing to have
the Swedish army help the Germans.
This party includes the financial inter-
ests, but is in the minority numerical
ly The Progressive party two to one
in the past election, is anti-German
and antiwar.
The war party in Sweden is trying
to create popular sentiment against
Russia, reminding the Swedes that
Russia took Finland from Sweden
The militarists of Sweden are OF tha
German school; the Swedish army is
trained on German lines; the sympa-
thies of many Swedish militarists are
with Germany.
The chief outstanding fact is that
Sweden's democracy is being severely
tested on the war question. If this
democracy succeeds, Sweden will not
enter the war

and Engve LARSEN, three prominent
members of the Socialist party. were
expelled from the party by the unani-
nous vote of the Stockholm Socialist
commune, on the ground that they
were co-authors of the so-called war
book.
This war book, which was published
two months ago, strongly advocated
Sweden's participation in the war on
the side of Germany and has been the
most widely discussed publication in
Sweden since the war began.
