SWEDEN WILL Be
NEUTRAL TO END
CLAIMS PREMIER
Declares Government Pro-
claimed Attitude at Out
break of War and Will
Not Change Course

Stockholm, October 4.-Cvia London. }
Sweden proclaimed her attitude OF
neutrality at the very outbreak of the
war. Although her actions since that
time have borne out that proclamation,
and all rumors or accusations that she
has done, or intends to do, anything in
consistent with this attitude are due
either to failure to comprehend her
situation or to some less creditab1e
reason. And whenever Sweden has
has taken any step displeasing one or
the other belligerent powers here ac-
ton has been dictated solely by con-
sideration of the Kingdoms own neces-
stiles and if it's future welfare, and
not by any partisan reasons. We hope
sincerely that the belligerents will not
make it impossible for us to maintain
this attitude unto the end"
Thus, in effect, said the prime minister
of Sweden, DR.. K. H. l.. HammarslSjold
to the correspondent of the Associated
Press in the only interview he has grant
ed any foreign journalist since the war
began.
Throughout the interview the premier
continued to lay stress on his govern
ment's desire to follow unswervingly the
policy of unpartisanship thus far fol-
lowed
And when you get to know the Swedes
better, you will, 1 think find that when
they say or promise thing they mean
it," said the minister.

WAR WORSE THAN
 THE WORST PLAGUE
Canadian Communication De-
 SCribeS WreCkage in Europe

Ottawa, Oct. 21.-The terrific de- struction wrought on the battlefieldS of France is described in an official communique from the Canadian war records officer which has been made public by Lieut.. Gen. Hughes, minister of militia. Incidentally the con- munique reiterates the claims of tke British leaders in regard to the super iority of the allies in the air and in artillery. In the latter respect the Canadian officer says that the allies are firing five shells to the Germans one.
 Describing the desolation caused by the tremendous struggle, the com munique says: "Never has human agency controlled such engines of destruction, nor has war ever so pro- foundly impressed itself upon the face of nature. No plague could be more ruthless, no natural blight more de- vastating."
 Civilization vs. War.
 After describing the peaceful scenes in the rear of the battle line, the perfectly tiled fields, the farms cultivated to the last inch of their available space and after paying tribute to the "brave, silent industry of the women, the old men and the children" of France, the communiQue
New Britain herald., 1916-10-21

continues: The transition from this scene of beauty, peace and ancient prosperity is Infinitely distressing. Fields are given over to the tramp
 ling rows of tethered horses and are d1sfigured by a variety of encamp- ments from ordered white tents to nuts or rusted biscuit tins and low dlscolored shacks of nondescript ma- ter1al. This area of active occupation gradually thins and abuts a region of more sinister appearance. Here trees have broken trunks and the houses seem in pain, for their roofs are rent, their windows gone, their walls scar red and pierced. But the full view of the land of war is reached with the crossing of the bleak, greasy slopes east of Albert with their chalky scars cut by the long lines of trenches.
 The view suddenly sweeps into the valley. Before LaBoisselle there were the original German and British lines on July 1. This was the outer wall, the stoutly resisting shell of the de- fense through which the indomitable English had fought their way and so permitted those who followed, other English, Australian, South African and Canadians, to come and deal their blows.
 'Of LaBoiselle there is more upon the map than on the ground. A few shattered trunks here and there, q splintered beam, perhaps corner stone or two, some cellars, roofed with wreckage-otherwise only the up- heaval of tortured earth, mine craters, heaps of rotting white sand bags, half choked trenches and dreary litter of old wire, cans and human rubbish re- main.
 "On the left is the twin city of des- olation, Ovilliers, and between the two the white road runs beyond and mounts to the level of Pozieres. Po-

 Acme of Destruction.
 Just beyond Pozieres and still be- low that summit runs the line of trenches first occupied by the Cana dians. These are in the midst of the ground which has most suffered. Here is the acme of destruction. No grain of surface remains undisturbed. There is no room for a fresh shell hole. We have literally blasted our way forward Ruin appears not only in the devastated earth, but also in the sadder waste of human life. This is all ground sacred to the memory of our dead. Also, in the sacredly de% fined trenches of the enemy, the Ger-l man corpses lie thickly."
 In regard to the situation in the air the communique says:

NEW CORNEL|A ID
 BOOST [. & 4. STOCK

Some calculations on the intrinsic value of Calumet and Arizona shares, interesting if accurate, are published as follows in the current issue of Iron Ore:
 New Cornelia shares have been sell ing between $4S and $49 this week. At SIS the value of the shares issued amounts to $21, 5000 As Calumet and Arizona owns more than three fourths of the stock of the New Cor nelia it can take credit for $25 per of it's capital stock. If we then deduct the $25 from $75, the latter being the quoted value of c. and A. shares, it will leave the latter stock at $50 per share. And as Calumet and Arizona is earning better than $20 per share, it will be seen that the company is earning more than 40 per cent on the present quoted value of it's stock. At this rate the present value of the shares. as quoted on the stock exchanges, would be earned in less than two and one-half years.
 Calumet and Aribon is slated for 1 $l00 per share by it's friends in the
 Michigan district, who say it is certain
 to reach that level shortly and is en-
 titled to by reason of it's earnings. Next year New Cornelia will be adding about
 1000 900 pounds of refined copper per day to the pOundage now being made from the Bisbee mines of the company,
 which is at the rate of better than | 70000,000 annually. In addition there | are to be important values in sul- i phuric acid, the plant for its manufac- | ture soon the be completed.
