KING CALLS FOR DEFENsEs

LONDON, Jan. 19.-The con
troVersy between Great Britain and
Sweden over the detention Of mails
has reached an impasse with both
sides stubbornly refusing to allow
its rivals mails to be expedited
through the respective countries.
Sweden now is holding an enor-
nous quantity of the English post
destined for Russia, while mail is
being taken from every Scandi-
navian liner brought into Kirkwall,
Scotland. Sweddens action is the
first tangible reprisal measure by a
neutral.
Vigorous Protests Made.
Vigorous representations are be-
ing made by the diplomats of both
countries. The foreign office here
takes the definite stand that par
eel, no matter what class of postage
1t bears, is no more entitled to pro-
lection than is ordinary freight.
Great Britain further claims the
right to censor mails in transit to
other countries IL the ship carrying
them comes voluntarily into Brit
ish port.
Swedish diplomats declare that
since the Swedish government for
bids the export of certain articles it
has a right to hold up the British
parcel post and to seize such goods,
which, according to English argu-
ment, are not entitled to any more
protection than is ordinary freight.
LONDON, Jan. 19.-The Politiken
of Copenhagen, as quoted by the Ex-
change telegraph correspondent there,
says that anxiety has been aroused
in Stockholm by the speech at the
opening of the Swedish Parliament
by King Gastave, who urged vigorous
preparation of national defense in
view of the disregard on the part of
beligerents of neutral rights.
hS blludllOH lS Il SOuIIb VI COn-
Germ in Stockholm, the correspondent
says, on account of the seizure by
the British last week of a large
quantity of provisions from the
Swedish-American steamship Stock
holm, from New York to Stockholm.
British Criticized sharply.
The action of The British authorities is
criticised sharply by the Swedish press,
which expresses the opinion that the
value of the goods seized cannot be re-
garded as anything like an adequate
offset to the effect of the incident on
relations between Sweden and Great
Britain. Some OF the Swedish news
papers state that such actions are worse
than an open rupture.
Hjalmar Branting. socialist leader in
the second Swedish chamber, who re-

of Yale's school Of music Wagncr's opera
Die Walkure" was produced by the
Metropolitan Opera Company in the Yale
Bowl tonight before an audience Of
more than 10000. who ave the singers
an enthusiastic reception. The opera
was scheduled to have been given last
evening. hut a thunderstorm about en-
hour before the time to begin necessi-
tated ~postponement.
II was the first time a musical pro-
duc,ion had ever been attempted In the
Bowl. but the singing carried well to
every part OF the stadium. In the audi
ence were many who came up from
New York for the performance.
The entire company of 100 has been
in this city for four days rehearsing and
adopting their voices to this open air
theatre. Artur Bodanzky conducted the
orchestra, which was ausmented to lO2
pieces to make up for the defect in or
chestration which has been frequently
noticed In open air performances. In
edition. the orchestra pit was con-
structed over a hollow wooden structure
which acted as a sounding box.
