SWEDEN AGAINST ALLIES AND FOR
 THE GERMANS


 STOCKHOLM, Aug 13.-- Dissatis- faction with British blockade of neu- tral trade on the part of Sweden and Denmark has eenrunning high since the early months of the war. Swed- ish newspapers of the conservative party have been particularly strong In denunciation Of the British naval policy of stopping goods destined for neutral countries The censoring by British officials of letters and tele- grams passing between Sweden and the United States has added to tthis dissatisfaction.
 Drifting Toward Germany
 This feeling against Great Britain, united to the old swedish antipathy for and fear of Russia is causing Swe- den to drift toward Germany rapidly. None here are ready 10 admit that there is any liklihood Of Sweden en- tering the war but it is evident that Q continuation Of German successes might result that way if Sweden could get assurance that Germany would guarantee her border rom danger at the hands of Russia.
