A Stockholm dispatch to Reuters
Telegraph company says that the Swe-
dish government has instructed It's
minister at London to protest against
the violation OF Swedish neutrality by
British submarines in the Baltic. II
is alleged British submarines have
sunk two German steamers in Swedish
waters. The Aftonbladet says the Ger
man steamer Germania, one of those
attacked, made straight for shore.
where she grounded in position un-
doubtedly protected by territorial
limit. Nevertheless British subma-
rine continued the pursuit. The men
from the submarine boarded the Ger
mania and took away her papers. This
statement is based on the report Of
the German captain Of the vessel.
The Swedish government IL very
vigilant in protecting the food supply
Of the people It has recently pro-
hibited the expectation Of herring and
hereafter meats cannot be shipped out
Of the country without the payment
by the shipper Of license or tax to
the government. The government has
also fixed the prices of meats TO con-
sumers and sees to II that there can
be no favoritism in the distribution OF
meats among the people. The social
lists recently sent delegates to appear
before the cabinet and urge the fixing
of maximum prices on all sorts Of
grain and also to regulate steamship
rates Of merchandise. They further
requested that the socialists be given
representation on the committees on
provisions.
The farmers Of Shame do not take
kindly to the orders of the govern
ment limiting the expectation OF cat
tie and meat. They realize that these
orders tend to keep down the price of
beef and will therefore reduce their
profits. To counterfeit this they are
not bringing their cattle to the mar.
ket for sale, but are holding them for
higher prices. The dealers are already
meeting the farmers more than half
way.
II has become so conventional to
class the Scandinavian countries to-

J. J. Chandler, q fisherman at Strom-
stad, was out fishing in company with
two OF his sons when the sail swept
the younger boy into the sea. His IA
Their, who was q good swimmer,
jumped in after him and succeeded
in keeping him on the surface of the
water until the older boy had brought
the boat close up to those who were in
distress. The father shouted for an
oar, but before the older boy had
time to throw an oar to him he
pushed the younger boy away from
himself and disappeared in the deep.
He was no doubt seised with cramps
