BLOCKADE HAS FAILED,
SWEDISH PRESS SAYS
Merchants Also Point Out That Ger
many Bought Two Years Supply
Before Last April.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, February 3
The British blockade of Germany has
failed because it came too late, accord
ing to the Swedish press and Swedish
business men.
AS far as Sweden and the other Scan
dinavian countries are concerned, the
blockade only became really effective
last April. For eight months prior to
that time. or since the very start of the
war. the Germans. anticipating Eng
lands tactics. were purchasing enor-
nous quantities of military supplies,
especially copper, cotton, antimony and
tin. through Sweden. Denmark and
Norway. Importers here are convinced
that by the time the blockade was per-
fected Germany had stored up such
quantities of these and other war ma
terials as to meet all her needs for
possibly two years.

Fighting on Portuguese Soil.

Early in the war 1t was announced
that Portuguese forces were fghting
the Germans in Angola, West Africa.
Angola belongs to Portugal and had
been invaded by German troops. The
Portuguese casualties at that time
were reported as 500, while the Ger
mans were said to have lost 200. 1t
was later announced that the Germans
had evacuated Angola.
The latest official Portuguese refer
ence to the attitude of the nation with
regard TO the hostilities was state
ment made January last by the presi-
dent of the republic at reception to
members of parliament, when he mani
tested q desire that the sacred union
Of all parties be maintained during

Resent Charges of Smuggling.

The claims made by the British gov
ernment that great quantities Of war
material have been smuggled into Ger
many through Sweden are bitterly re-
sented by Swedish merchants These
claims. which have been given as
reason for placing all sorts Of restric-
tions on Swedish mercantile trade, are
based on statistics showing great in
creases in Sweden's importations from
England and America.
The Swedish merchants point out,
however, that prior to the war Sweden
was a heavy purchaser of German
goods. The war has practically para
lyzed this trade and the country has
had to turn to other markets.

Prices Of Metal Forced Up.

In addition. moreover, it is pointed
out that Russia has placed enormous
orders for war supplies in Sweden and
that much of the raw material to fill
these orders had to be imported from
England or the United States. The
this industry. In fact. 1t has forced the
price of many sorts Of metals here
higher than they are in Germany. For
example. $40 a pound is being paid
here for tin, $2.37 pound for antimony

An opinion frequently expressed here
is that as far as the Scandinavian

succeeded only in creating ill-feeling
among the neutrals by her blockade
without seriously injuring Germany.

some" EXPERIENCE
William Damn, Gives Interesting Life
StOry-FOur Years in United States
Navy and Twice Around The
World.

Interesting is the account of the ex-
periences and travels of a Wauseon
boy, furnished US by his older brother
Chauncey Damn.
A number of years ago the chill
dren of James and Rebekah Damn
were placed in the Cleveland Chill
dren's Home; this action was taken
by the authorities for the reason that
on account of sickness and lack of
means. Mr.. and Mrs. Damn were un-
able at that time to provide a suit
able home for themselves and their
children.
The children were placed by the
institution referred to above in homes
and after period Of five years or
more all of the children with the ex-
ceptlon of younger boy, William
Henry, returned to visit their parents
to whom better times had come and
the family were reunited with the
single exception of the boy William
from whom they could get no tidings.
A few weeks ago William visited
his parents whom he had not seen for
eighteen years and the story of his
experiences were told.
William had been placed by the
Cleveland Home with farmer living
at Danville, Ohio, but not liking this
man, he ran away, and went to New
ark, Ohio where he obtained work II,
glass factory. From Newark he
went to Pittsburgh and was engaged
for some time as a firemen on the
Pennsylvania Railroad. William saws
that he has been in every state in
the Union and in every city of any
size.
June 1911 he enlisted IN the u. S.
Navy for four years service: during
that time he visited all the countries
OF the world, twice he cruised around
the world and was for two years sta
toned in Chinese waters, six r1onths
of this time being occupied by service
in Pekin. While in Pekin he met
Carl Miller and learned from him
that his parents were living; he had
| supposed that they were dead and had
not written to them on that account
In March 1915 he was honorably
discharged from the Navy at San
Francisco and found himself the heir
of $4,000 it evidently did not take
very long to dispose of his savings;
he saw the Panama Pacific ENposi-
ton and last November finally got in
communication with his brother
Chauncey at Wauseon being located
at that time in Colorado Springs. He
managed to work his way through to
Fostoria where his brother James
Wesley is located and on New Years
Day his brother Chauncey went tt
Fostoria and brought home with mir
the long lost brother. William die
not seem to remember Wauseon o.
the Wauseon people even his owl
parents SO after a couple of week
T stay with the family here he return
ed to Fostoria where he is at presen
living with his brother James.

SMUT PREVENTION
The United States Issues Brief and
Practical Directions, for the Preven-
formation for Farmers Which Will
Prevent Loss if Followed.

The averegae losses from smut
in oates are greater than those caus
ed by any other preventable cereal
disease in the United States. Treat
ing the seed with hot water or with
formaldehyde solution before SOW
ing is an easy, cheap and effective
way of preventing this disease. The
latter method, which is the one most
available for general use, is here
briefly summarized Both methods
are described in. detail in Farmers
Bulletin 507, which will be sent free
on application to the Secretary of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
Mix the formalin "a commercial
preparation which is thirty-seven per
cent. formaldehyde by weight) with
water at the rate of one pound "a
little less than a pint) to 40 gallons
of water. The grain may be either
loosely inclosed in sacks or put loose
into a tub or vat with the solution.
Agitate. the sacks or stir the loose
grain occasionally so that the en-
tire surface of every grain will be
thoroughly wet. Instead of being
immersed the seed oats may be
spread on a clean floor or canvass
and sprinkled with the solution and
shoveled over during the process so
that they will be wet evenly as in the
other method. Not over a gallon of
solution will be needed for every
bushel of dry grain. After sprink-
ling, shovel the seed into pile, cover
it with sacks wet with the solution,
and allow it to stand for at least two
hours before spreading it out to dry.
Precaution: The oats may be seed
ed as soon as dry enough to run
through the drill. If the seed is
still moist, however, the drill must
be set to SOW more to the acre than
if it is dry. The quantity which would
be sown may be determined by
measuring a given bulk before and
after treatment and figuring the pro-
portion of increase. After treating
do not expose the seed to freezing
until is is thoroughly dry.
Do not allow the treated seed to
come into contact with old sacks,
bins or machinery in which there may
be smut spores. If such must be u.s.
ed, scald them or wash them first with
Formaldehyde soluthion.

LOYAL MEN MEET.

Last Monday night the Loyal Mems
Bible Glass Of the Christian church
spent social evening together. The
place of meeting was the home of
Elmer Baer. More than fifty. were
present. Some Of the class dressed
as colored minstrels made a grand
march that was good for long-faced
Christians, and people who are tempt
ed to never smile. The costumes were
original. The speeches and songs
were rendered with zeal and well out
of time. They were all experts in
handling the band instruments. Lots
of fun for those who looked on was
the aim and they succeeded. Refresh
ments CT sandwiches, doughnuts, coffee
pickles apple pie and ice cream were
served in abundance.
This class is-/one of the strong
classes of the Bible School. The aver
age attendance since January 1st has
been about forty. It is open to all
men not engaged elsewhere in such
work Henry Mack is president and
Rev. J. A. Wharton teacher. All are
aiming to work together for the good
of the school and church. The next
social meeting will be sometime in
March.
