SWEDISH OFFICIALS
 AFTER CONTRABAND
Germany Alleged to Be Benefit
 ting Via That County
Correspondence of The Associated Press)

Correspondence of The Associated Press) Stockholm, Sweden, Dec. 2S.-Alle- gations that German agents are try ing to smuggle copper and other con- traband from the United States into Germany by shipping it first to a Swedish port disguised as unprohibit- ed foodstuffs have resulted in the stricter surveillance of all incoming ships by the Swedish government.
 The Andrew Welch, an American steamer which arrived recently at Halmstad from Philadelphia Is still detained at the former port pending detailed examination of an alleged cargo of beans.
 She was sighted off Halmstad, cruis- ing about for no apparent reason, and when questioned by the commander of a Swedish torpedo boat the captain said he had orders to wait there Soon afterwards a large German tug came up to the Sound and made for the Andrew Welch. The captain of the tug was equally ignorant of the reason for sending him to a point off Halmstad but denied that he had a rendezvous with the American ship.
 The Swedish naval authorities CnoT6upOn the AnOr6W w G1cH into Halmstad and the tug dis appeared in a therly direction. A cursory examination of the Andrew Welch showed that she carried beans but members of the crew told the Swedish customs inspectors that the weight of the bags had caused some comment among them, and they thought there might be other things inside.'
 Enormous quantities of non-con- traband foodstuffs from America have been going into Germany from Swed- en during the last six weeks, includ- ing preserved fruits from the Pacific coast, coffee and tea. Imports of American coal are increasing, owing to the continued ban on British coal by the British government. Germany is sending cargoes of Belgian coal from Luebeck and Stettin to Malmo but it is of inferior quality and the demand for American coal is growing. Ten thousand tons arrived at Malmo this week.
 Britons Too Active.
 The activity of British conner cial agents, whom the Swedes call "commercial spies'' has caused great irritation here. Several have been ex- pelled because of their activity in "shadowing'' cargoes unlOaded at Goth enburg and other ports. Ameri- can buyers are carefully watched and their negotiations with Swedish busi- ness men followed in detail
