SWEDEN Will NOT
Be GERMAN ALLY

Winnipeg, Man, Sept. ,17.-Reports
that Sweden is considering entering
the war on Germany's side are absurd
according to G. Bjornsfelt, who arriv-
ed in Winnipeg last night direct from
Stockholm. Mr.. Bjornsfelt is large
landlord in Sweden, and is well ac-
Quainted with the political situation
there. .
Sweden does not want war" ex-
claimed Mr.. Bjornsfelt last night at
the Royal Alexandra. She is anxious
to remain neutral and that report Of
my country joining the Germans is
foolish. Our sympathies are with the
allies. Such stories are written by q
German PropagandiAt, and are fiction
pure and simple"
Mr.. Bjornsfelt has 4 large cattle
ranch at Lake Frances, north Of
Winnipeg. and leaves for. there to-
day It was a month and half ago
that he went oyer to Sweden, and his
trip on the water at that time was
very exciting. He crossed on the
Danish boat, Oscar II. This boat
sighted four German submarines on

face and three submerged. but with

at Columbia.

SeventyLfour business men from
Grand Forks and East Grand Forks
were present last evening at the first

and able talks were made by M.
Stanchfield, G. w. Fisher, ia. Bydal,
]. NJ. Mcdonald, H. B. Watkins. John
Nuss, William Brown, Mr.. Ireland and
others. Some very interesting oratory
and wit was heard from the speakers.
Mr.. Watkins spoke in general on
the association work, and stated that
his recent article published in the
Trade Journal had gained a great
deal of publicity for Grand Forks. AS
a direct result of the article four
towns in the country have asked him
to organize credit associations and the
Trade Journal has asked him to write
as series of five articles on association
work
Entire satisfaction was expressed
with the rating book prepared by Mr..
Watkins. 1t contains 5000 names of
persons living in Grand Forks and
hold monthly meetings for the con-
sideration of merchants problems in
the credit line.
The menu was printed in the form
Of a daily newspaper, and in it was
published the latest news and ads, as
they concerned the members of the

nue., probably will be threshed out

ton.

Against the Time Of Need-That a
practice resorted to by the desperate
and foe enveloped Southern Con-
federacy should be. repeated in the
history Of a vigorous and resourceful
nation like Germany would have seem-
ed incredible a few months ago. The
recent appeal of the German minister
Of the interior to the apothecaries of
the realm urging the gathering Of med
ical plants as substitutes for import
ant drugs that had become or were
likely to become inaccessible, brings
wildly to the memory Of those who
lived in the south during the Civil
war groups of women and children
gathering yellow jessamine. green
hellebore, ~sassafras, oak and dogwood
bark.
Today the German apothecaries are
following the example by order Of the
government to collect digitalis and bel
ladonna leaves, arnica and .camomile
flowers and other plants designated by

away in proper manner against the
day of dire need that may come from
the isolation Of Germany by the Allies.
That the methodical system and fore
sight Of the Germans in the piping time
Of peace are matched in their activi-
ties in war is evidenced by their not
waiting for the day Of need but pre-
pairing in advance Of it's possible ap-
proach. Herein our people may learn
a valuable lesson in apparently small
matters.-New York Sun.

The Completely Of Russia.-Lithu-
anian writer's are insisting that the
restoration of Poland must not be
made an excuse for the Polarization
Of Luthuania. They demand for their
own country the same autonomy that
is granted to the Poles, and protest
vigorously against being included as
a helpless minority in a reconstructed
Polish kingdom. Their alarm seems
rather needless. Russia will not go out
of her way to increase the strength
Of Poland, and thereby invite an effort
on the part of Poles to break away
from the Russian connection ~altogeth-
er. But the point is interesting as one
more evidence Of broad and deep lines
Of cleavage in a population which the
careless onlooker from a distance sup
poses to be of one blood, tongue and
purpose.
Russia Is by no the highly
unified organization which some seem
to think. Everyone knows there are
Poles and Firms among the cars
European subjects. The protest noted
above reminds us that there are
likewise Lithuanians and Letts-each
numbering millions. There are also
Little Russians, White Russians and
Great Russians, each counted by tens
of millions; and how many less nu-
merous variations Of the n homo
dwell in the 2,OOO,O 900 square miles Of
Europen Russia only scholars know

Each Side Overestimates Losses of the
Enemy.

A list Of killed, wounded and pris-
oners on both sides in the great war;
which is said to have been reported to
the French senate, is obviously not
official" as stated, and there are rea-
sons to believe that it is deliberately
padded. The list is not official, be-
cause the governments policy is n
of reticence about its losses, and a to-
tai Of 100000 French killed in action
or died Of wounds is given. And these
figures cannot be right, because the
British dead are declared to be $780,
900, and in parliament but the other
day Mr.. Asquith announced that the
British killed in action or dead of
wounds were 1884 up to July 20, in
Guiding 1928 casualties in the naval
service.
Should the prime minister's formal
statement not be convincing, it is APP
parent that if the British, who in
France are defending a comparative
~ short limo Of intrenchments and are
waging the Dardanelles campaign not
alone, but with the French co-opera-
ton, have casualties of 1900 dead,
the French total should be very much
greater than 100000. When we come
to the wounded we find that the ratio
to killed is considerably less than two
to one. The total for the wounded Of
the Triple Entente allies is said to be
$3.50, 900, while the sum Of the killed
is put at 1889, 900 or only $4,000 less
killed than wounded. The compare
tive figures carry their own refuta-
ton. AS to the total Of 100000 Turks
killed, that is wild conjecture. Be-
cause the Anglo-F French troops gener-
ally have taken the offensive in the
Dardanelles campaign, and the latest
London bulletin gives the British cas-
ualties of all kinds. killed, wounded
and missing, at about 10000.
Turning to the losses sustained by
the Teutonic allies and Turkey in the
war this official" list submitted to
the French senate" incurs even more
suspicion, for the killed reach the stu
pendous figure Of 3,35O,OO0; the
wounded singularly are only a little
higher, 3,SS5,OO0; while the missing"
or prisoners in the hands OF the enc
my are 1885, 900, being actually $780,
900 more than the missing Of the
Triple Entente allies, exclusive Of the
Italians. Thus a grand total Of o.
O30, 900 casualties for the Germans,
Austrians and Turks is achieved, or
we'll on to twice the losses Of the
French, British and Belgians, which
are estimated at 5,463.000. The COM
parative totals, if on speaking terms
with accuracy, would portend the in
evitable and early collapse Of the Teu-
tonic campaign on all fronts. 1t isn't
casualties set forth, because Petro-
grad has had nothing to say about the
matter for publication.-New York

A GLOWING TRIBUTE
Why a Grateful Lad Would Like to Re-
sembIe His Father.

Why a Grateful Lad Would Like to Re-
sembIe His Father.
In the American Magazine a boy
makes a splendid tribute to his father,
part Of which is as follows:
Because my mother knew that
from the day he first met her until
she died or for all the days in fifty
years, she was the woman he loved. I
should like the oma I marry to
know the same thing Of me, all our
lives.
Because he was gentle. Because
he loved all flowers, in cool woods and
in sunny fields and by dusty roadsides,
and brought them home, gathered
into clumsy bouquest for Mother
if she could not go herself to see them
in the places where they held up their
shy faces. Because he loved all
children and let them climb over his
shoulders and pull his hair.
Because his eyes twinkled and his
face was jolly. Because he smiled at
us children even in days when he was
hiding black despair in his heart.
Because, although his work kept
him away from home for so many
weeks at n time, he wrote jolly letters
every day to mother and us, making
jokes out Of icy winds and beds cover
ed with snow that had drifted in
through farm house windows and Of
all hardships.
Because he was deep-chested and
strong, and because his strength came
from work in the fields in such days
as he could find no work in his own
profession. Because he thought no
work Of his hands beneath him if it
brought us food and shelter.
Because he talked 10 farmers and
carpenters and to learned men and to
diggers of bitches and to little girls
and boys and to presidents alike, and
all loved him.
Because he wore his overcoats for
ten years and his shoes for two years
and called his coat "as good as new.
with a little fixing of the lining"
Because he thought no sacrifice of
any Importance if by it we were made
to love more truly whatever is good
and beautiful and true in life.
Because he used to put his arm
around mother and tease her until
