The people OF Scandinavia make no
effort to hide tho fact that tho in
terests OF their respective countries
may differ decidedly in detail, but tho
great majority In all countries are
anxious that tho most faithful neu-
trality shall continue to be the policy
of all. In this respect the Copenhagen
conference was hailed as an evidence
to the world that Scandinavia stood to-
Bethcr for rigid neutrality. but ex-
pected consideration for tho rights Of
neutral states in return. There was TO
be here none of the tiscord of the Bal
kans.
In connection with the conference tho
general feeling here was that Swedish
sentiment favored IL more aggressive
attitude by the northern states toward
the belligerents. This tendency In Swe-
den already had been shown. II was

britain against the action OF that gov

from arc not so great as they would

with 1t a still further extension OF the

REGULATES SETTLEMENT

PARIS, May 1.-THE law voted by
Parliament 10 regulate the settlement
OF unpaid rents accrued since the war

mination OF hostilitics estimated at
lS.ooo.oo0.0o0 francs, cxonerates arbi-

All tenants, whatever may be the
amount OF their rent. are allowed By
law to refer their cases to the COM
missions of arbitration provided by the
law and solicit reductions proportionate

the war. The tenant in such cases
must prove that the prejudice he has
sustained places him in a position that
prevents hin, from fulfilling his ohli-
cations
Tenants who are modified and those
that have been exempted for wounds or
illness contracted in the army are
arbitrarily exoucratcd.
The provisions Of the law apply to
all rentals accrued since August

the six months following the cessa

cose attitude. 1t is not believed by
the Danish or Norwegian governments
that England will go so far In her
dealings with neutral shipping as to
create a condition with respects to
Scandinavian rights that might be
Belgium.
In considering the attitudes of the
Scandinavian countries II must DO
borne in mind that In Norway and
Denmark public sentiment greatly fa-
vors tho allies. while in Sweden tho
majority sentiment appears to be pro-
German. There arc close ties OF kin
ship between the reigning families of
the two former countries and royal
family In England. Then. too, there
is the feeling here against Germany
which has existed ever since the ced-
ing OF SchlcswiE and IIolstein.
Sweden. OH the other hand. has long
stood In fear of Russian aggression.
This feeling was at It's height in 1914.
when the European war swept all
minor considerations aside and Russia
was plunged into the conflict with
Germany. There had been distinct ef-
IOTlS IN S"cucn 10 establish close re-
latioEs with Germany as possible
friend in the event of trouble between
Sweden and Russia.
The result of this work. of course. is
the present Swedish sympathy for
Germany. There is a growing senti-
mcnt that this attitude should not,
however. prevent the fullest co-opera-
tion between England and Russia, con-
sistcnt with Swedish rights. The
Swcdes are proud people. but one
