SWEDES ACCUSE BRITISH
OF NOT KEEPING FAITH
Renewal of Controversy Over Rus
sian Mails Threatens a Sc
rious Disagreement.

COPENHAGEN. via London, August
|21.-According to the Dagens Nyheder
the Swedish government has published
a blue book containing the diplomatic
documents relating to the negotiations
between Sweden and England regard
ing the seizure of British mails to
Russia. The seizure was in retaliation
for the taking by the British of parcels
post from America to Sweden.
The blue book states that on the in
itiative of Great Britain an agreement
was reached by which British mails
were to be released, England agreeing
to the establishment of an arbitration
court after the war to settle the ques-
ton of it's seizure of American mail.
After this agreement. the blue book
says, and most of the $4,000 packages
of mail seized by sweden had been for
warded to Russia, England suddenly
demanded that Sweden allow all Eng
lish mails to pass to Russia in the fu l.
ture. Sweden refused to accept this
amendment to the original agreement.
whereupon England withdrew her con
cession regarding the arbitration court
The Dagens Nyheder says that several
Sw edish newspapers fear serious dis

BOAT OWNERS PROTEST.
Auto Drivers Turn Searchlights on
Graft Moving About in Harbor.

Local power boat owners are protest
ing against the practice. common
among automobile owners who have
machines equipped with searchlights,
of training of their lights on boats
moving about in the harbor. The auto
mobiles using the new drive along the
water edge of Potomac Park amuse
themselves by picking up the small
craft out in the river with their search
lights, often throwing the beam into
the eyes Of the pilots. binding them.
It is a violation of the navigation
regulations for vessels to turn their
lights on moving boats in such a man
ner as to blind the man at the wheel
and while 1t is said to be doubtful
whether the law, as it now stands, ap-
plies to automobile owners. it is dan
rerous practice and is liable to result
in an accident. The boat owners will
take the matter up with the authorities
in an endeavor to have it stopped.
