SWEDEN APPEALS
 ID UNITED STATES
Again Protests British Violation Of Rules of International Law

Washington, Feb. 1S-Another note from Sweden has been addressed to the state department through Min | ister Ekengren appealing to the Unit I ed States for cooperation with the 1 Swedish government and other neu- 1 tral nations to maintain the preserva- i tion of rules of international law con- 1 corning the protection of neutral com | merce and navigation. Action is pro- | posed particularly against Great Brit l ain because of the detention of mail l bv that country and other aggressions l against trade regarded by Sweden as unwarranted. Secretary Lansing informed the minister, it was learned yesterday that he could not answer the note un- til the controversy with Germany over the Lusitania case was settled.
 This latest communication, address,
 Text of Note.
 ed to Secretary Lansing and signed by MT Ekengren follows:
 'I have been instructed by his ex- cellency the minister for foreign af- fairs at Stockholm to address the following to your exce11ency:
 ''The royal government has, dur
 
 time proposed to your excellency that through cooperation it be sought to maintain and preserve certain i'm portant rules of international law, which concern protection of neutral commerce tnd navigation, and which are being violated by Great Britain.
 Violation Increased.
 "The violation of existing rules of International law has, regardless of protests, increased until at present only a few rules, serving as protec- ton to neutral commercial inter- course, are observed by Great Britain and it is feared that also these re- maining few will be violated.
 "His majesty's government, which Is deeply conscious of its responsibili- ty to not only omit any measure, tending to prevent such an eventuali- ty, and we'll aware of the danger for the future if these rules which are of infinite worth to civilization as a whole, are not preserved, desires to herewith make a renewed presenta- ton to your excellency, in this respect
 Mail Traffic Violated.
 of late the British authorities have violated the mail traffic Parcel post from one neutral country to another s being unloaded in British ports and ,he contents are being seized. While parcel post is not protected through The Hague postal convention, it nev- ertheless seems to his majesty's gov ernment that the British procedure, In the form and extensiveness prac- ticed, would be invalid even with regard to ordinary express goods, and that this seems particularly evident when the seizure of parcel post is directed against means of convey ance under guarantee of sovereign power. Besides, great personal incon- venience is connected with seizure of this kind.
 However, England's present prac- tice of censoring also first class mail, sent by neutral vessels from one neu- tral country to another, is an even greater violation of the rights ac- corded neutral powers by the rules

AGAINST DANISH MERCHANTS Sweden's Prohibition of Transporting Merchandise Along Her Waters.

London, Feb IS, $50 a. m.--A Copenhagen despatch to the Exchange Telegraph company says that accord ing to the Snaellposten, the Swedish minister of justice has appointed a royal commission for the purpose of prohibiting the transportation along Swedish territorial waters of all such goods as are forbidden to be exported from Sweden. The prohibition is said to be directed against Danish mer- chants who are largely interested ir transporting merchandise to Russia through Swedish waters. This step, the newspaper points out, will make the Baltic a still more closed inland sea, the conditions being especially aggravated by the new mine field which the Germans have laid at the entrance into the Baltic
 The Swedish Social Demokraten asks whether German mine laying is being carried out so as to permit small ships at least to go around the southernmost point of Sweden. This newspaper adds that it expects Swo- den to protest if any intention is shown of placing the entire Baltic traffic under German control.

of international law. It is not neces- sary to particularly point out how contrary this practice is to the stipula- tions in the above mentioned Hague convention, which stipulations or rules must be considered to have been in existence even before the promulgation of this convention.
 Appeals to United States.
 'The royal government now, there fore, appeals to the government of the United States for cooperation for the purpose of seeking to bring about a discontinuance of the violations of international law, at least so far as the same concerns first class mail, and 1t solicits as early an answer as DOS Sible, whether your excellency is will ing to take appropriate action in CO., operation with the royal government and eventually, the governments of other neutral countries, for the pur- pose of causing that the rule which the question involves-and which is one of the fundamental stipulations of international law-be observed"

MUNITIONS OF LIFE.

1--WE need great organization" said Winston
Churchill the house of commons, for producing
munitions life just do for munitions of death"
Col. Churchill predicted that before the end of the
war government would have take all British
shipping that all individuals would obliged TO work
for the nation that ration tickets would be
adopted for all necessaries prices that all
could of food. that national organization of
agriculture is inevitable. He concluded Let the
government do these things while there is yet time"
The situation as regards food in this country is
scarcely less critical than it England. We are
raising plenty and to spare. But feeding the
non producing fighters with it. Ana especially we
feeding the greedy pockets of those individuals who
are controlling supplies.
George W. Perkins. head of the New York city food
supply commission. declares that government super
vision of the nations food supply is necessary. Mr..
Perkins plan comprises a federal commission which
would disseminate news of food markets the weather
department tells of atmospheric conditions. a state
which would investigate high prices
and clogging of distribution. a municipal commission
for the control of markets cold and possibly
delivery systems.
This has many good points. The difficulty would be
in getting the various commissions 10 work together
effectively In England following Germany's example,
King George has just signed which will put the
of food distribution in the hands OF one
man. a supreme dictator. Why should this plan be
followed here? Why should not big be APP

POTATOES AND GARDENS.

Tn 1915 when Germanys grain crops failed, the ma
ton was saved from starving by plentiful potato crop
In 1915 with a. sad slump in own wheat produc-
ton and our grain supplies depleted by export sales
our potato crop is the smallest in years, and in
comparison with population the smallest in decades
we have only 2s9 0O0 600 bushels against $4,000
ooo bushels in 1914 lO90OOOOO bushels in 1915 in
both Of which years the plentiful supply of grain made
potatoes less necessary.
The figures are important because they call attention
TO "a pressing need. The potato is the most popular
and most wholesome of all starch foods Next to
wheat il classed most Important food product
And vet we have unaccouutabIy allowed per capita
potato production a time when the growing
scarcity of meats and grains makes its increase more

and climate as wheat They call neither for eX-

almost anywhere. and suited to any space available
from hundred-acre farm eightby-ten back yard.
And unlike most other crops their scarcity plenty
iepends primarily on the small gardener rather than
the pretentious farmer.
II every family possessing little garden plot would
raise a few potatoes the national output would

III ISN'T COSTLY

Il
Does the crouch get richer quicker
than the friendly sort OF man2
Can the grumbler labor better than
the cheerful fellow can?
Is the mean and churIish neighbor
any cleverer than the one
Who shouts a glad good morning"
and then smiling passes on?
Just stop and think about it. Have
YOU ever known or seen
A mean man who succeeded, just
because he was so mean
When YOU find a crouch with hon
ors and with money in his pouch
You can bet he didn't win them
just because he was a crouch.
oh. you'll not be any poorer if you
smile along your way,
And your lot will not be harder for
the kindly things you say.
Don't imagine you are wasting time
for others that you spend:
You can rise TO wealth and glory
and still pause 20 be a friend.

PROPER HOUSE MANAGEMENT

these tasks. But few wives. even
