WAR BLIGHTS MANY
SWEDISH INDUSTRIES

Washington, April 26.-Many Swed-
ish industries have been blighted by
the war, and those that have survived
did so only because they could meet
changed conditions easily, according
to information gathered by the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM
merce. Importation difficulties and
high ocean rates have brought disas-
ter TO some lines of business.
Manufacturers of steam engines and
shipbuilders have increased their
business largely. it is said. and plants
manufacturing machinery for export
have suffered little. Building actiyi-
~ has declined.
Production of wood pulp has de-
creased because many markets were
closed by the war. The textile indus
try has suffered, but the market for
woolen goods has had good period.

enth, Jose Rangel, who had been
wounded in the raid and was carried
into court on a cot, cried for mercy.
Judge Medler ordered the prisoners
to tie Santa Fe penitentiary for safe
keeping Only a few persons were
present when sentences were pro-
nounced and there was no demonstra-
ton

OFFICIALS MAY HOLD
Won IGEL'S PAPERS

New Yorw, April 26.-Evidence pre-.
sented here before the federal grand
jury investigating the alleged plot to
destroy the Welland canal established
according to federal authorities that
Captain Franz Won Papens former Of
fee at 90 Wall street was not a
branch of the German embassy when
Wolfe Won lgel was arrested there on
April Is and papers claimed by the
German ambassador seized
The papers are now in the custody
of the department of justice in Wash
ineton.
They were sent TO the capital by
United States Attorney Marshall al
the request of the state department
after Ambassador Won Bernstorff's de
mand for their return on the ground
that they were seized on German ter
ritory.
Attorney General Gregory and the
local prosecuting officers insisted that
the former office of Won Papen is not
German territory. The state depart
ment announced that a return OF
the papers rested on this point.

GERMAN view OF
SUBMARINE CRISIS

Berlin. April 26.-The outcome of
the present crisis depends on what
President Wilson and the American
government want.
The German view Of the present sit
uation. as CLEANED from conyersa-
tions with a number Of persons close
to official circles, is about as follows !:
II President Wilson and the Ameri
can government are arguing that ear
ler concessions of Germany have not
been adhered to and insist that the
submarine campaign be conducted
without deviation within the limits of
German assurances and pledges in
former notes, then a settlement prob.
ably can be arranged, notwithstand-
ing what is considered the sharp un.
friendly tone" of the American note.
The pledges probably can be re-
stated, If need be, and definitely re.
formulated SO that there can be no
possibility of error or question Of re.
sponsibility.

SOCIALISTS OPPOSE BREAK
Powerful Influences Favor Yielding TO
United States.

Washington, April 6-Indications
that powerful influences in German
politics are opposed to any action by
the Berlin government which might
lead to the severance of diplomatic
relations with the United States, are
understood to be contained in conf
Dental dispatches received by the
state department from Ambassador
Gerard
Socialists and labor leaders are rep.
resented as being particularly adverse
to any such move.
Ambassador Gerard's dispatches are
said to emphasize the difficulties by
which the German government is con-
fronted in endeavoring to find way
to meet the demands Of the United
States without arousng the element
which insists upon a relentless sub
marine warfare against the shipping

SEE GRAVE POSSIBILITY

Failure of Conference Between Gener

gon Might Result in Practical Use
of This Large Army.
San Antonio, Tex, April 26.-Added
interest was given the coming con.
ference between General Hugh l..
Scott chief of staff. and General AL
varo Obregon, minister of war for
the de facto government of Mexico. by
the receipt of news that more Mexi.
can troops are being concentrated in
Northern Mexico.
1t is realized that General Obregon,
minister Of war, has so disposed his
forces that by the time he meets Gen.
eral Scott in a diplomatic engage
ment he viii have behind him within
easy reach not fewer than 10000 men.
General Scott will be accompanied
to the border by General Funston.
The concentration of General Per
shings men has continued and the
punitive forces are backed together
IN o much shortened line. with the
main points OF concentration at Casas
Gran3cs and Namiquipa.
OiBcial information placed the num-
her 81 dc faeto troops in and about
Tcrreon at about 10000. Military es.
Inmates Of those in Sonora that could
be used against the Americans are
approximately $4,000, while another
5000 are in the state of Chihuahua.
Failure by General Obregon to con

of his diplomatic arguments could be
followed, army men here asserted
