AUBURN. Neb., Feb. s.-(special,)-
Officers OF the Carson National bank are
specializing about the identity Of the per-
son who has sent them a mysterious but
profitable letter. Enclosed with a briefly
scrawled message in the envelope was the
sum of 500 in $50 bills. The sender plainly

SWEDEN AND ITALY

German Blockade Order Provokes
Great Indignation Among PeO-

COMMENT OF FRENCH PRESS

STOCKHOLM. Feb. 6.--(Via Lon
dom is expressed by
the Swedish press because of Ger
many's proclamation relative to a
blockade of the British isles. The
belief is expressed that II will result
in the government making a protest
to Berlin.
The Dagens Nyheter, which is In close
touch with the foreign office, declares
EnglRnds regulation In regard TO neu-
trail shipping I'm the North sea caused an
noyance. but that IL guaranteed traffic
would be safe on certain routes The
paper says that while Swedish vessels
suffered severely from German mine lay
ing, the latest order beats the record by
declaring the most extensively used
waters a closed sea and threatening neu-
trail ships with torpedoes."
Germany's situation Desperate.
PARIS. Feb. 6.-The German admir-
altys proclamation including In the war
zone the waters surrounding the British
isles. has provoked an outburst of In
dignation in the French press, although
II 10 hailed generally as an indication that
Germany is beginning to find its situation
desperate.
The Journal says the measure will have
only two consequences, first the death of
inoffensive sailors, and second, the
paralysis of the sea trade of the neutrals.
Consequently, the paper argues, the
measure would cut off Germanys sup
ply, as neutral shipping would not ex-
pose itself to danger.
Warning from Italy.
ROME, Feb. Accommodating on Ger
man measures against neutral ships, the
Tribune declares that Germany does not
take into account the rights or even the
dignity OF neutrals, while Great Britain
gave satisfaction to protests by the
United States and Italy. granting the
latter the right to maintain the distinc-
ton between absolute and conditional
contraband. Continuing, the paper
says:
Germany can be assured that some
neutral powers will refuse 10 accept its
ruling, under which the established Gus
tom of the examination at sea of neutral
vessels is abandoned and peaceful neu-
trail ships are put in the same category
as hostile vessels This will avoke pro-
test from some neutrals. II Germany
finds that Il has been damaged by GER
tain British measures It should answer
with reprisals damaging TO Great Britain,
but not striking at neutral powers in
the movements of their ships or the lives
Of their subjects"
