that the waters of Lake Tahoe, yearly running to waste down the
Truckee river, would more than suffice to irrigate all the land in
the adjacent valleys, and that the annual cost would be less than
river and the Colorado river can all furnish more or less water
to Nevada / believe the time will come when they will all be utfl-

Nation More United.

This evidence of complete agree
ment between the contending political
factions in the rik Sdag with the gov
eminent and the king means that
Sweden today is more united against
entering the war than at any time
since the world hostilities began. 1t
also shows that the conservatives were
not willing to lend to the activiSt war
group the aid they had expected, but
preferred to cooperate with the social
lists and liberals in their determination
to keep Sweden neutral.
The propaganda for war. which be-
gan with the recent Interpolation of

ing RuSSia's fertilization of the Aland
Islands. is regarded as futile, and it
seems that the only chance now OF pre-
cipitating war would be an overt act by
one of the belligerent countries.

prise to the Swedish people today. was
the cause of an intense feeling of relief.
1t is felt now that the government Ell

an aid to a moral impulse can be dis

the relations between nations.
AS regards the fear of changing
alliances. our situation now is very diff
