SWEDEN is ALSO CONCERNED
Amsterdam Says that Continuance Of
Friendly Relations Between Nor

on Reply to Note.

Amsterdam, Oct. pa crisis has
arisen between Germany and Norway
the climax of which, it is feared in
some quarters in Germany, may be u
diplomatic break between the two
countries. At the same time there are
symptoms of q gradual tendency on
the part of Sweden toward the entente
allies, symptoms which in pro-ally cir
cles here are interpreted us foreshad-
owing substantial agreements, and pos.
sibly an alliance.
The continuance of Friendly rela-
tons" between Germany and Norway
depends upon the latter governments
answer to Berlin's note demanding re-
cession from the stand taken regarding
the treatment of German submarines
in open Norwegian waters. The orig.
inal Norwegian note on this subject
was r,:t nted by the German foreign
office as 'unfriendly" in tone and in
tent and the German government in
turn sent sharp demand to Chris
tiania demanding a backdown.
The attitude of Sweden and Den
mark on the same question is favor
able TO Germany and on this score
there is no possibility of estrangement
Berlin, however. Is watching with
marked attention the strenuous efforts
now being conducted by the entente
powers TO enlist the scandinavian cOun-
tries on their side and bring about their
active cooperation in the war. All.
vices from Berlin today pointed out
that the restrictions placed by England
upon the export trade to Sweden are
working great bardships on that cOun-
try. Sweden is dependent upon Eng
land for her coal.
In Denmark popular sentiment is
largely pro-ally. The further course OF

clded, students OF International rela-
lions agree, by Sweden's actions.
Added anxiety was caused IN Berlin,
according 10 dispatches from the Ger

ment reached between Sweden and
Russia for the release of vessels de-
tanned in Russian ports. Similar negO-
tintions are reported under way be-
