to the story which was told here the
machine was coming down a hill at
about 40 miles an hour. apparently
racing to get ahead OF the train. The
train was running about 90 miles al,

slow it up after the auto was seen. The
machine was a total wreck ana the

the people in the car.

AT ODDS WITH ALLIES
Continued from Page One)

Sweden had closed the only route by
which English. French and other allied
vessels could pass into and out of the
Baltic protected from attack by German
naval forces. On the other hand the note
pointed out the Swedish government not
only left open in territorial waters be-
tween kalamar strait and Lulea a route
which is accessible only to Swedish and
German ships under the new arrange
ment. but further assured to these vessels
the protection of an escort against the
Russian naval forces
With regard to submarines the Brit
ish protest declared that Sweden an
peared to establish between under-wa-
ter boats armed for war purposes and
other submarines a distinction in vir-
tue of which so-called submarines of
commerce, type not employed by the
allies. might with impunty navigate
Swedish territorial waters beneath the
surface.
Sweden's Reply
The reply of Sweden was character
istically stiff:
iCu conclude that in the attitude
adopted by the Kings government re
garding the two beligerent camps
there IS q signal difference which
would seem incompatible with the du-
ties Ct loyal and impartial neutrali-
ty.' it said 1T is the duty of the
Kings government to deny in the most
formal manner that the opinion thus
expressed has any foundation 1t can
not enter into discussion on the sin
Gritty and impartiality of its neutral
ity, which have been abundantly dem
onstrated throughout the war 1t will,
however, observe that an allegation of
this nature is fundamentally vicious,
being founded only on isolated facts
imperfectly discernable'
The reply declared that all subma-
rines would be treated by Sweden as
war submarines if the employment for
commercial purposes is ont establish
cd with certainty by common facts 1t
was asserted that all Sweden was do
ing was to guard her neutrality in the
manner she found most appropriate to
the object.
