dents in that territory do not feel that

lief that the assessment area should be

SOCIALISTS IN SWEDEN
ACT AS CURB on NATION
Keep Pro-German Parties, Which
Predominate, From Endan-
gering Neutrality.

LONDON, November 11-A Stockholm
dispatch to the Times says:
'While it undoubtedly is true that the
preponderance Of sentiment here is pro-
German and anti-allies, this sentiment
has been exaggerated. What is true is
that the court and military party certain
ly are pro-German and that the Germans,
through their intelligent and persistent
propaganda. have dominated most of the
channels of publicity to such an extent
that even if a majority of the population
favored the allies it would be difficult for
their views to find expression.
If any intelligent and sustained effort
has been made to win public opinion In
Sweden for the allies by means of pub
licity its effects certainly are not observ-
able. The socialist party, however, is
avowedly and openly for the allies, and
though the socialists are not strong
enough to dominate the country's policy.
they are strong enough to exercise a great
restraining influence to prevent other
parties from forcing through any
program which would jeopardize Swedish
neutrality.
Il am unable to discover any talk OF
peace here or any feeling that Germany S
success has brought the end Of the war in
sight"

U. S. SHIP SENT TO LIBERIA.
Chester Responding to Complaints of
Wireless Neutrality Violations.

The United States scout cruiser
Chester is on her way from the Medi
terranean sea to Monrovia, Liberia, to
investigate the situation there. The
governments of Great Britain, France
and Germany have made repeated
complaints of violations of neutrality
by wireless stations on the Liberian
coast.
The United States has exercised
sort of guardianship over Liberia
since 1910. In 1910 an American COM
mission went there to investigate con-
ditions after request from the little
republic for aid in Strengthening out
its difficulties. With a British colony
on one side, a French colony on anoth-
er and her trade largely in the hands
of the Germans. Liberia had been in
volved in frequent boundary disputes
and had become financially embar-
rassed. The United States, with the
approval of Great Britain. France and
Germany, has tried to solve the re-
public's problems. The frontier police
force was organized by Maj Charles
Young, 10th Cavalry, and other United
States military officers
