Great Opportunities for United States.

American business men who have
studied the situation with an eye 20
the future say that the character Of
Swedish imports from Germany in
normal times shows the great oppor-
tunities that exist here for the eX-
tension of American trade.
American exports TO Sweden nor
mally have consisted Of cotton, min
eral oils. copper, grain, bacon, ferti-
llzers and machinery Some coal has
been bought from America, but nor
mally this would come from the near
er fields in England and Germany.
With this exception, and possibly that
Of tin and rubber. the Americans here
declare their country is IN a position
TO supply all Sweden's needs.
How this market has been neglected
by Americans in the past is evidenced
by the fact that from 1896 to 1900 the
United States had but III per cent
of the Swedish import trade. From
1901 to 1905 the percentage was ,
per cent. In the next FIVE years IL
had increased to 6.44 and then to 1884
just prior to the outbreak of the war.
During the fiscal years 1913 and 1911
American exports to Sweden averaged
little more than Sl2,000,000 For
1915 they jumped to S7S.273.S1S.
One Of the developments Of the war
has been enormously 20 increase the
trade Of Sweden with Russia. Amer
lea also has shared heavily in the
Russian market, which had been virtu-
ally controlled for twelve years by
Germany But now new and
formidable factor has entered the
field. Through her new alliance with
Russia, Japan, IL is realized here, oc-
cupies a most favored position, and
may eventually take the place in Rus
sian trade formerly occupied by Ger
many.

Britain Clamps Down Lid.

Britain commended that these cpor-
nous imports from America meant one
Of two things either that they were
going TO Germany through sweden or
were replacing ON tho market her"
Swedish goods shipped TO Germany.
And So the blockade "lid' was put on
tight, with the result that British naval
authorities now supervise all carGocs
coming from across the Atlantic.
Sweden maintains that much of the
increased import from Amerlc. repro
scented goods formerly bought through
Hamburg 1t was said also to be due
to increased shipping facilities between
America and the Scandinavian states,
Including the establishing of a direct
lire from Sweden TO New York. Hsv-
ing established this direct trade con-
nection, the American importers here
are anxious 80 maintain - and thus
permanently eliminate Hamburg as d
"middlcmap.' The same condition
exists with reference to American
trade with Russia, much Of 10 having
formerly gone through the Hamburg
gateway.
The Germans admittedly are anxious
over this phase of the war situation.
In the recent propaganda planned m
Sweden it was acknowledged that the
direct trade lines between Scandinavia
and America, both North and South,
constituted menace to German trad
ing in future. 1t wa. further said that
the Swedes must be convinced their
best interests lay in maintaining for
mer trade relations with Germany and
should be induced to Specialize" only
I'm certain directions. Their is no in
dication here. however. that the Swedes
will do anything Of the sort, notwith-
standing the fact that their present
relations with Germany are most
I friendly and trading between the coun-
tries is decidedly brisk.

RILEY AS A LION.

II Needed Plotting TO Get the Poet "a

1t was a mark Of our highest consid-
GRAFTON to produce Riley at entertain
ments given In honor of distinguished
visitors, writes Meredith Nicholson in
the Atlantic Monthly, but this was not
always to be effected without consid-
cradle plotting. q have heard that in
Atlanta Uncle Remus" was even a
greater problem to his fellow citizens ,
Riley's innate modesty, always to be
reckoned with, was likely to smother
his companionableness In the presence
Of ultra literary personages.
His respect for scholarship, for liter
ary sophistication, made him reluctant
to meet those who, he imagined
breathed an ether to which he was un-
acclimated. At small dinner In honor
of Henry James he maintained q
strict silence until one Of the other
guests, in an effort to "draw out" the
novelist, mentioned Thomas Hardy
and the felicity of his titles, instancine
Under the Greenwood Tree" and "a
Pair Of Blue Eyes"
Riley, for the first time addressing
the table, remarked quietly of the sec.
ond of these, Its an odd thing about
eyes, that they usually come in setsv
comment which did not, as remem
Der, strike Mr.. James as being funny.

struaaIa For Exnraasion.

There is a certain hardship in each
ages struggle to attain expression
against the overwhelming mass of ex-
preston already in existence. In no
other field Of human effort does the
practitioner have. to contend with
ghosts. A living general does not have
to array his battalions against Caesar
or Hannibal or Napoleon. A living ath-
lete does not go up against Heracles or
Milo But book or picture or musical
composition has to fight not only against
its natural rivals Of the present, but
against all that has been preserved
from the past-Charles Leonard Moore.

strenoth Of q cxar.


A story is told which illustrates the
phenomenal physical strength of the
old car At little station not far
from the capital the imperial train
was delayed for quite a time, and the
czar, being hungry, partook of some of
the simple food OF the buffet Mean
while the little daughter Of the mayor
presented the empress with bouquet,
the flowers of which were hastily gath
cred from private hothouses in the
neighborhood. The stalks being still
damp and earthly, the empress visibly
hesitated to take the bouquet In her
neatly gloved hand. The czar coolly
took up one of the heavy pewter plates
on the table, and twisting 1t as If 1t
were paper, made a neat covering for
the stalks. There is nothing incredible
in the story, since the czar had been
known to- bend a kitchen poker as an
ordinary man would a strip Of tin.

BETTYS LIFE SAVED BY

She Was Taught How to Care for Her
self After Her Mother Had Dieo.
she was real pretty, and SO full of
fun that the dimples were always
showing In her round, red cheeks" >"
The visiting nurse of the Anti-Tuber-
culosis Society was talking. Her
eyes were big and brown and nut-col-
ored hair curled naturally in little
ringlets over her forehead and ears.
She was just eighteen when we first
met her and so neat and attractive
that one would think she belonged to
the wsll-to-do class of working people,
but when we followed her to her home
one day we confronted startling facts.
"The red in her cheeks was the flush
Of unnatural inward fever, the high
spirits were pitiful antidote to pitt
less conditions, and the big brown
eyes saw only squalor when they were
not fixed upon a typewriting machine
or closed persistently to any view but
an imaginary bright one.
THE room we entered was a gen
eral living space, used also as an eat
ing, cooking and sleeping apartment.
There was but one bed and Betty
had to sleep in 1t with her mother,
who was too weak to sit up. An open
cuspidor sat where 1t would be con-
veniently near the bed, which placed
1t by the stove where their food was
cooked. The mother, who was suffer
ing in an advanced stage of tuber-
culosis, did not like cold air, and her
Querulous demands caused Betty to
keep the door and windows closed.
"sWell,' said cheerful Betty, with
laugh, that isn't 30 bad as not hav-
ing any windows or doors to close, is
It? Things might be worse
Infinitely worse." said l. You
might even take a notion to stuff the
windows and doors with rags to cut
out what oxygen comes in through the
cracks
RED Cross Christmas Seals, with
their CHEEKY message of hope, gave
Betty chance to get well after her
mother died. Is 1t worth while to
