BETWEEN SWEDEN AND GREAT BRITAIN

Friction between Sweden and Great Britain, en-
eendcred by the mail situation, is reported as increasing.
The Swedes have been able to retaliate on England, by
holding up British mails destined for Russia, the only d1-
rect communication between London and Petrograd being
BY way of a Swedish port. Sweden is the one neutral
country that has this material advantage, placing 1t on
something of an equality with the British. AS a neutral
age of mails is questionable. 1t gains some color of JUS
tification from the action of the allies, which has all but
suppressed traffic between the Scandinavian countries and
the rest of the world. AT present there is really nothing
new in the situation, but it has been aggravated by the
course of the SWedes.
Sweden has from the first vigorously resented Eng
lands interference with its intercourse with other nat'oTs.
While the Swedes are not naturally or by inclination more
inclined to favor Germany than the other scandinavian
nations, they have a lOng-standing account to settle with
Russia, Finland being the latest of the items. and tins
does not DredisDOSe them in favor OF the entente allies.
For this, as for other reasons, the SWedes have firmly &c
clined so far to submit to the terms that are enforced
against Norway and Denmark, but insist on being accord
ed all the rights that belong to neutral nations. That the
relations between the two countries are strained has been
known for many months, and that the situation may soon
reach an acute stage is clear.
The long DELAYED answer of the British government
to the United States protest against interrogation OF mails is
promised shortly, and from it may possibly be gained an
mixing of the course by which the British hope to avoid
complications that may be serious for their cause.

MASTERING HI MACHINERY OF WAX

The story OF how the naval recruits are being taught
to handle the big guns at sea emphasizes the need OF
training men for service in the defense OF the country.
Modern weapons are complicated, even in their simplicity,
and in both army and navy efficiency IS largely a matter
of technical skill. Men must be well versed, not only III
the principles of mechanics, but in their brOadeSt app1ca-
ton, and must know how to operate and care Tor delicate
and intricate mechanism. \ warshlp OF today. no mate
ter of what class, is but an assemblaSe OF co-ordnated
machinery and only by actual experience can the ability
to handle and control these machines be acquired. Only
in degree does service in the army differ from service III
the navy in this regard. Need of this framing has long
been understood and the eagerneSS OF the Young men who
have volunteered to take up the work is a splendid trlb-
ute to the sincerity of their devotion. Americans are
finally FULLY awake to the necessity OF getting ready tor
se1f-defense and at last understand that 1t is not a QueS-
ton of willingness but of knowing how. We are at last
realizing something from our experience.

Meantime, swat the fly.

In Rome they maintain a world crop review service.
According to the estimates of this review the total wheat
crop this wear will fall about 3 per cent short of last year.
But last wear was an abnormal crop year. 1t may be
that we are much below the average year in wheat pro-
duction this year. 1t may follow that the men who have
been marking up flour and loaves have been doing so with
out lust cause.

Admiral Dewey makes out that life saving devices on
b~attleships do not amount to very much. The men on
such ships cannot desert their posts to put on the devices,
nor to launch themselves in the waters, safely away from
their ships. A "wounded' battleship must go on lighting
to the last, for a single shot from such a ship may decide
the fate of the battle. There can therefore be no deser-
ton. and it follows that the men go down with thlr ships,
as they did in the recent sea battle between the German
and British fleets. In other words, a man takes the fate
of the ship on which he fights, and if he escapes with his
life when the ship does go down, 1t is by the merest acct
dent.

Australia is passing some exclusive regulations. No

without consent of the government, and now it is to be
unlawful to sell or ship any metals or ores to any other

of new rules and regulations for the conduct OF the
world.

IRRIGATION AIDS FERTILIzING.

With irrigation farming it is pos
sible to plow deeper and use larger
amounts of manure than is possible
in other kinds of farming, without
danger of excessive looseness and dry
ing out of the soil. This increased
fertilization will in turn increase the
water capacity, since the organic
matter that is added is spongy and has
a mehowing effect on the soil. The
water capacity should be kept up
says w. l.. Powers, of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural college, so that the soil
will hold the greatest possible amount
of rainfall and irrigation water re-
ceived.

Great Traffic Tie Up
Seems Almost Certain

New York, Sept. 6.-The greatest
traffic tieup in the history of New
York through a strike on the subway
and elevated systems and possibly sew
eral surface ear lines appeared almost
certain late today. Two O'Clock tomor-
row morning was the hour set for the
strike.
The Interborough company, operat-
ing the subways which carry hundreds
of thousands of New Workers daily,
discharged several hundred today who
refused to sign 'master and servant -
contracts or insisted upon continuing
allegiance to the union. Strike break
ers were being imported. While New
Workers are walking or "jitneying" to
work tomorrow, their wives may be
making desperate efforts to get some
thing to eat. Delegates of the Retail
Grocery Clerks association this after
noon voted for a walkout unless their
salary demands are met.
ga strike is now inevitable" Mat
thew J. Higgins, organizer of the
Garments Union declared in a speech
to 250 discharged Interborough en-
ployes this afternoon.
An Interborough official was quoted
as saying that now was a good time
for "show down. and the company
intended to 60 through with it.
Mayor Mitchell is on his way here
from Plattsburg, but it is not believed
he will arrive in time to avert the
strike and there are doubts whether he
could stop it now.
Tn union circles it was said the In
terborough discharged union men to-
day with the intention of forcing the
strike. The union leaders have ac-
cepted the challenge and a final vote
will he taken at 3 o'clock tonight.

STALLION LAWS HELP.

Avoiding Misrepresentation of stock
and preventing the state from beeom-
ing dumping ground for unsound
horses, are given as two of the leading
values of the stallion registration laws,
by Carl N. Kennedy o. A. c., the see
retary of the State Registration Board.
Other advantages are that the laws pre-
vent the use of bogus pedigrees and linn
ii the use of unsound sires. They are
also an education for the breeders and
tend to increase the public appreciation
of good horses.
