cars in a statement to the Associated Press,
said that the Committee was without fixed
nrogramme but that the guiding principle
was the Bismarckiun one Of achieving the
attainable. We do frankly want an hon
Durable peace, he said, but not at any price.
We do not want peace delayed through
the efforts of those who demand that
we should seize all we can get and hold
fast to everything our military power ena-
bles us to without regard to future conse-
ouencee. Our desire is heartily to support
the Chancellor's policies. but We disagree
with the Governments prohibition OF
nnblic discussion OF the War. The prin-

the Committee's programme, an active
nrooramme of education will be conducted
in the Press.
Stockholm, July 20th-There has been
frequent infringement of Sweden's neutrality
by German and Russian cruisers, and the
Government is e~ndeavouring to protect NOT
only it's own ships but others where seizure is
believed to have been made illegally. Swed-
an has made ap Official protest to Berlin
AGAINST the capture of the British steamer
Adams, 1928 tons, of Newcastle, by a Ger
man destroyer. The adams, which had
been following the Swedish coast, was lying
at anchor off Anus close to shore yesterday
AFTERNOON when The destroyer steamed up.
The Englishman at first refused to obey al
order to steam east from shore, but the
DESTROYER then threatened the vessel with
her guns and the captain was obliged to
obey. Recently Sweden protested to the
Russian Government against the capture
of the German steamer "Worms" on the
ground that it was taken in Swedish waters.
There was a Swedish pilot aboard the
stWorrns' and he was tnken prisoner
but he was released and taken to his home
port as soon as his identity WAS estab'
lished. The Belgian steamer "Ambiorx',
which was captured by the Germans last
August, has been released by the Supreme
Prize Court in Berlin which has cancelled
the verdict of the lower court aud has
confirmed the contention that the steamer
was taken in Swedish waters.
