cessful trip of the Deutschland from
Bremen to Baltimore, and there arose
the question as to whether Swedish
warships could fire at sight at Ger
man merchant submarine or whether
they would only fire at entente allied
submarines, knowing these powers
were not using commercial underwater
boats
The situation was further compli-
Gated by later determination of the
Swedish government to close the Kog-
rund channel entirely to all except
Swedish vessels. Then the entente al
lies decided to- protest. According to
reports received here there was much
excitement in Stockholm when the al
lied note arrived and it was promptly
described by the pro@German papers
as an ultimatum. The entente allies
protested that in reserving exclusively
to Swedish merchant ships the track
across the mine fields established in
the Kogrund channel. Sweden had
closed the only route by which Eng
lish, French and other entente allied
vessels could pass into and out of the
Baltic protected from attack by Ger
man naval forces. On the other hand,
the note pointed out, the Swedish gov
ernment not only left. open ip terri
torial waters between Kalamar Strait
and LIllea, a. route which is accessible
only to Swedish and German ships un-
der the new arrangement but further
assured to these vessels the protection
of an escort against the Russian naval
force. s..
With regard to submarines, the Brit,
ish protest declared that Sweden apz
peared to establish between UNDER
water boats armed for war purposes
and other submarines a distinction, in
virtue of which &so-called submarines
of commerce, type not employed by
the entente allies, might with impunity
navigate Swedish territorial waters
beneath the surface.
The reply Of Sweden was character
istically stiff. -.
you conclude that in the attitude
adopted by the kings government re-
garding the two belligerent camps
there is a signal difference which would
seem incompatible with the duties or
a loyal and impartial neutral" 1t said.
1T is the duty of the kings govern
ment to deny in the most formal man
ner that the opinion thus expressed
has any foundation. 1t cannot enter
into discussion on the sincerity and
Iimpartiality of its neutrality, which
have been abundantly demonstrated
throughout. the war. 1t will, however,
observe that an allegation of this ma
ture is fundamentally vicious, being
founded only on isolated facts lmper-
fectly discernable."
The reply declared that all submar-
ines are to be treated by Sweden as
war submarines if their employment
for commercial purposes is not estab-
lished with certainty by common facts.
It was asserted that all Sweden was
doing was to safeguard her neutrality
IN the matter she found most appro-
pirate to the object. ..

LITTLE RED SCHOOL" AND
FARM, HOT BEDS FOR THE
GREAT WHITE PLAGUE

Louisville, KY, Oct 5.-The average
Little Red School House" and farm
home are hotbeds Of tubercular infec-
tion according to Dr. w. F. King, as
sistant secretary Of the Indiana state
board of health, in a discussion before
the Mississippi Valley Conference on
tuberculosis of the rural problems in
it's relation to the disease. He empha-
sized the possible effect of this condi-
ton upon future generations, saying
in part:
Since it is now very generally
conceded that most cases of tubercu-
losis that develop in adult life may be
traced to infection received in child
hood, the rural tuberculosis problem,
as in fact most, if not quite every pub
lie health problem, resolves itself into
a consideration of the child.
Practically every case Of tubercC-
losis in rural communities becomes a
center for the spread of infection to
others. In the rural home this infec-
tion is almost sure to extend to the
children of the home.
THAT the average rural home IN
stead of protecting against tuberculo-
sis actually favors it's spread, Is shown
in the results of a sanitary survey Of
four rural counties in Indiana. A SAN
itary survey was made of 1867 rural
homes. Each home was scored on SITE
sanitary surroundings house, cellar
ventilation, water suICly, sewage dis
posal, barnyard, disposal Of manure

dish territorial waters for all Baltic
traffic. Within the safety of this neu-
trail three-mile limit, English and
other ships of the entente nations have
sailed defiantly into and out of the
Baltic, paying not the slightest heed to
the German fleet looking on from the
outer waters. Similarly, German mer-
chant ships have sailed up and down
the west coast of Sweden. heavily
laden with foodstuffs and iron ores,
while Russian destroyers in the north
ern reaches of the Baltic have been
impotent to act.
This practice placed a heavy respon-
sibility upon Sweden and kept her fleet
busy day and night patrolling the ter
ritorial waters in protection Of the bel
ligerent traders, despite which pre-
cautions there were several violations
of Swedish neutrality. Public senti-
ment in Sweden was aroused and the
government determined to mine the
waters Of Kogrund channel leading out
of the sound into the Baltic.
Sweden also served notice that her
naval commanders had been instructed
to fire upon all submarines found
prowling within the three-mile limit.

''Your Allegation Is
Fundamentally Vicious
Sweden's Stiff Jolt in
Reply to the Entente

London, Sept. 22-The relations be-
tween Sweden and the entente powers
are attracting unusual attention here
and there is every indication that the
situation threatens to become some
what tense. With the dispute as. to
mail seizures still unsettled, there now
has arisen the charge by the entente
allies that the neutrality Of Sweden is
not so loyal and impartial as it should
be. This has drawn from Stockholm a
reply, as tart and crisp as>some of the
notes in the mail controversy which
were characterized by Viscount Grey
as containing words not usually found
in diplomatic correspondence.
Confidence Is expressed in the tact
and ability Of the British minister to
Sweden, Sir Esme Howard, to handle
Great Britains interests, for he al
ready has done much to smooth over
many points of friction that have aris-
en- since the war began. Sir Esme has
been given full authority to act in the
mails dispute and is cooperating with
the other entente diplomats at Stock
holm in making representations as to
the latest matters in controversy.

MEMPHIS WILL
NOT Be RAISED

Washington Oct. 5.--There is little
probability that any effort will be
made to raise the armored cruiser
Memphis, wrecked recently at Santo
Domingo City In tropical storm.
While final decision will be made by
Secretary Daniels after the hoard of
inquiry has reported, Admiral Ben
son, chief of operations, said yester-
day the great cost of salvage hardly
seemed justified in view Of the ves~
sells low military value.
A report from Captain Beach of the
Memphis indicates that the ships
entire bottom was crushed in. AL
ready much of her armament and
equipment has been taken off, but
Naval Constructor Du Boce and the
representative of a wrecking company
sent to the scene agree that there is
little chance to refioat her.

NEUTRALITY OF
SWEDEN STATED

Stockholm, Oct. 8. via London
Sweden proclaimed her attitude of
neutrality at the very outbreak of the
war. All her actions since that time
have borne out that proclamations and
all rumors or accusations that she has
done, or intends to do, anything in
consistent with the attitude are due
rather to failure to comprehend her
situation or some less creditable rea-
son. And whenever Sweden has taken
any step displeasing one or the 9TH
er of the belligerent power her ac-
tion has been dictated solely by con-
siderations of the Kingdoms own
necessities 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 Prime Minister
of Sweden, DIR. III. K. l.. Hammarsjold,
to the correspondent of The Asso-
ciated Press in the only interview he
has granted any foreign journalist
since the war began.
throughout the interview the
premier continued to lay stress on his
governments desire to follow un-
swervingly the policy Of bipartisan
ship thus far followed.
"And when you get to know the
Swedes better, you will. think, find
that when they say or promise a
thing they mean it." said the minis
ter.

and general health of the occupants.
The scoring was indeed liberal, espe-
clally in reference to ventilation and
sanitary surroundings, but even with
this liberal scoring, the average for the
homes in the four counties was SO
on the basis Of 100.
Not only is the child exposed to
tuberculosis in the rural home, but the
average rural school not only favors
but in many cases actually invites
tuberculosis. In the one-room country
school, ventilation in winter is abso-
lutely impossible except by a miracle
No greater blot exists upon the civili-
zation OF America today than Is to be
found in the absolute Indifference to
and disregard for the safety, we'll be-
ing and physical efficiency of children
in our rural schools. And no greater
opportunity for achieving the highest
results in the prevention Of unneces-
sary sickness and in building up phys
tcally strong manhood and Womanhood
can be found anywhere than in the
schools Of our rural communities.
1.-THE rural tuberculosis problem ex-
lists CD because tuberculosis is widely
prevalent in rural homes; (2) because
of ignorance and indifference little is
done to check the spread Of tubercu-
losis or prevent the continued preva-
lence of tuberculosis in rural homes;
(3) because tuberculosis is prevalent
in rural schools; ca because through
ignorance and indifference little is
done to improve conditions at rural
schools and thereby prevent the fur
ther spread OF tuberculosis through
this source.
an conclusion it may be said, that
the rural tuberculosis problem con-
tinues to be problem because Of ig-
noranCe and indifference. Ignorance of
the most simple and rudimentary laws
OF we'll being and indifference both to
sanitary instruction and to the results
OF sanitary ignorance and indifference.
The key to the rural tuberculosis prob
lem Is education, and the point of at
tack is the child and the public
