OPPOSITION TO
GAME PRESERVE IN
RAMSEY COUNTY

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 23.-Speak-
ing before the state game and fish
commission yesterday, on the propo-
sition to convert the territory adj
jacent to White Bear lake in Ramsey
county into game preserve, E. B..
Swagart of St. Paul contended that
the game preserve idea was of no
value. Mr.. Swagart is a we'll known
St. Paul sportsman, and he held that
the only way to conserve game in
Minnesota was either to turn the
state into one huge preserve or to
prevent shooting for a period of
years.
He said that any small territory
would not offer refuge for game
birds and animals, as most of
them wandered at will and refused to
be domesticated. He said this was
especially so in the case of prairie
chickens The question of making
game preserve at White Bear lake
and vicinity was taken under advise
ment. ......s.s.

LINER SUNK BY Mine,
IS CERMANY'S CLAIM
Foreign Office Says Hesperian Was
Not Sunk by a German
Submarine.

Berlin, Sept. 23.-The foreign Of
flee this afternoon received a men,
orandum from the admiralty, declar-
ing positively that no submarine at
tackled the liner Hesperian.
1t was suggested that the liner
was sunk by a mine intended for a
German submarine.
All submarine commanders in the
vicinity of the disaster report that
they had not sunk the liner but that
there were scores of mines off the
Irish coast.
1t is believed that this will be in
corporated into a note for the United
States.
Ambassador Gerard of the foreign
office here today declined to state
whether the note to the United States
had been started.

MINISTER SAYS SWEDEN
WILL NOT CONCEDE
TO BRITISH DEMANDS

Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 23.-If
Sweden and England come to a salts
factory understanding regarding
Swedish imports and the transit of
supplies to Germany, this understand
ing will not be reached through any
Swedish concession or alteration Of
her demands to be treated as neut-
raj nation enjoying the freedom Of
the seas, according to statement
made today by Eric de Trolle, presi-
dent of the royal trade commission,
former minister of foreign affairs and
at present member Of the English
Swedish commission engaged in at
tempting to settle the trade dispute.
Sweden cannot and will not sur
render to English demands restrict
ing her commerce." said de Trolle,
Sin order to help England in her in
dustrial war against Germany. If
she did this, not only would Sweden
suffer industrially herself, but she
would become virtually an ally of
England. The last consideration is
the more important, since Sweden
would no longer be strictly neutral
nation.
IF she permits the transit of sup
plies between England and Russia
and join in any attempt to prevent
the transit of supplies to Germany,
she is becoming an important base
of supplies for the Allies and is at
the same time really entering into
the war against Germany.
"Sweden's modest desire is to be
allowed to carry on her normal in
dustry and to observe strict neut-
rality-which means helping neither
side in Y military or industrial way,
to the exclusion of the other"

The senior girls paved the way
for excitement Monday morning
during the period for assembly, by
very cleverly executed sketch
called Mechanical Jane. Dorothy
Berls as Tabitha Robins and Dorothy
Kenworthy as Priscilla Robins, made
very favorable impression upon
the audience. Mary Madden as Me-

The clever manner in which that
young lady played the part, won her
much praise among her classmates.
The senior class ought to be proud
of the showing made by their col
leagues and it is hoped it's members
will continue their efforts along
these social and educational activities.
