A proclamation is about TO be issued 7
In Great Britain prohibiting the ex-
pcrtation to Sweden of all commodi-
ties except on presentation to the Gus
toms officials of Swedish trade com
mission guaranty. II Is explained In
this connection that the Swedish war
law of 1916 makes II illegal for q
Swedish importer to furnish an ex-
porter in the United Kingdom with In
formation as to the disposal of goods.
The exporter, therefore, Is often
obliged to admit he is unable to fur
nish evidence that he has taken rea-
sonable precautions to insure that the
goods exported by him have, in fact.
reached the destination specified when
the goods were shipped and through
no fault Of his own, but owing to
the operations of the Swedish law he
becomes exposed to heavy penalties.
IL has become necessary. therefore,
to make all exports to Sweden. with
Few minor exceptions, dependent
upon the production of guaranty
signed by the importer and sanctioned
ana registered by the proper depart
ment of the Swedish government, to
the effect that both the goods and
their products will not be re-exported.
A collection Of pictures was made
for the Swedish gallery at the Panama
Pacific exposition, and after the close
OF the exposition last February be-
gan tour of the United States. II
was first shown at the Brooklyn mu-
scum, where 1t was visited by 141 ,256
persons, an extraordinary attendance.
ranking only with the exceptional rec
ORD made by the Hispanic museum at
the time of the first Sorolla exhibition
and the attendance at the exhibition
or the Morgan collection in the Metro
politan. The pictures were afterwards
shown In Boston and Philadelphia and
will be seen in other large cities Of
the country.
Thousands of Swedes were induced
to emigrate to Brazil in 1911. 1t did
not take them long to find out that
they had made q sad mistake. Hun
dreds of them returned to Sweden as
soon as they could. But most Of them
were without means, and they had to
stay. Now 1t Is said that almost one
third Of the whole number have re-
turned and most of those who re-
manned either from choice or lack Of
funds were cut down, victims Of the
unhealthy climate Of that country.
A large number of Lapps In Fotmor-
nacke and Dikanas have sent a memo
rial to the king, telling him that they
are worrying because e. Bergstrom,
Lapp bailiff of Vasterbotten, has pro-
posed that the Lapps living In perma-
nent homes shall be prohibited from
keeping reindeer, privilege which Is
not enjoyed by the settled Swedes.
The neutral conference for continu-
Gus mediation, resulting from Henry
Ford's peace expedition. has decided
to establish bureaus In Berne and
Stockholm, with headquarters at The
Hague. 1t is planned to appoint COM
mittees In Denmark, Holland, Norway,
Sweden and Switzerland.

NORWAY.

After the great fire in Bergen the
first thing the city improvement COM
mission did was to invite all architects
of Scandinavian countries to COM
pete for plans and so far rs plans are
on hand. They vary from simple
rebuilding to that Of complete con-
fiscation of all property and recon-
struction of cables and sewer. water
and gas mains. Bergen wants west
ern Norway university and as a nu-
cleus a fund brought in by public SUBJ
scriptlon of 100000 kroners is on
hand. The idea is to convert Bergen's
museum into university and start
or small scale with one department
at time. Christiania is the univer-
sity town and Trondhjem. the third
largest city, has an engineering high
school or college, so Bergen wants its
high institution of learning, and
Bergen usually gets what she goes
after.
Mr.. Archer of London leased the
Sandelven for fishing salmon for a
term Of 40 years, Of which still remain
ten years. II is claimed that he has
become rich on subleasing this river
to English sportsmen and has had
practically no other income In all
these years.
A company has been organized In
Christiania for the manufacture Of
electric freight automobiles. The fac
chimes year. After while fancy
passenger cars will also be turned out.
Electric automobiles cannot be used
extensively until charging stations
have been established In all parts of
the country.
Canned goods must not be shipped
to Germany and the Norwegian manu-
facturer must when he buys his olive
oil from France and his tin from Eng
land sign contract to that effect.
Breach of this will bring him on a
blacklist and that means cutting or
from raw material.

Peter Vessel Tordenskjold, the naval
hero who fought SO bravely 200 years
ago that his fame was carried to all
parts of the world, was a native Of
Norway. But as Norway was a de-
tendency of Denmark at that time he
fought under the king of Denmark
and was buried In Denmark. Now
the Norwegians have commenced to
talk about the propriety of taking his
remains back to his native land. DAN
ish newspapers do not favor this propo.
sition.

SWEDEN.

The Germans started q factory In
Sweden for turning out paper made
up of two thin films Of ordinary pa
per, with film Of rubber between
them. This made 1t possible to evade
the embargo on the expectation Of rub
Der. But the traffic was soon discov-
cred, and now the German inventors
will have to devise some new scheme
IL they wish to obtain rubber from
Sweden.
In view of the light fruit crop the
food commission Of Stockholm has
proposed an embargo on the exporta-
ton of lingon berries.
The chief of police of Stockholm
has stated that there are about 10000
foreigners in Stockholm. Russian Jews
are the most numerous.
Ira Nelson Morris, American minis
ter to Sweden, arrived at Bergen, Nor
way, August 10, on his return from the
United States, where he spent his va
cation.
AS a means of checking the fuel
famine the government has ordered
soldiers to chop cord wood in the gov
ernment forests.
The late Game Warden Elers STEM
son bequeathed $4,000 to benevolent
institutions, the largest single item,
$4,000. going to the Sofia Home.
The main points Of the records of
the recent Swedish games were as
follows In the branches which were
open to all Scandinavians: Sweden:
40 first prizes, % second, and 80 third !;
Norway: first II second. and 4
third; Denmark, Z first, second, and
8 third.
1t has been proved that by using
electric energy from the Alvkarleo
power station the city Of Stockholm
can save $3.50 day. The tests made
to establish this fact lasted one month.

on the bulge The government first crop lished on Thursday morning, made the condition 77.5, compared with 79.S, the 10-year average, and as this figure was under expectations based on the private reports previously issued, 1t was followed by rather violent rally of some 15 or 20 points from the lowest. But demand seemed to be chiefly in the way of cov- ering by recent sellers, and the fail- ure of the comparatively low official con- ditfOn to bring in fresh buying for long account evidently added to the nervous ness of the old long interest At any rate. prices soon weakened, and the mar ket today reached the lowest point touched since the advance of last month. July contracts have been relatively weak, selling at 1250c, compared with 13. 27c, the high point of May IS, while December contracts touched 12.7Sc, compared with 35Sc the recent high level. The de- cline in July has been accompanied by rumors that holders of high-grade cot ton were moderate sellers here when July was selling even with October some days ago with the intention of making de- liveries on contract, should there be no
 improvement in the trade outlet. Liver pool has been a heavy buyer at times during the week. presumably to undo straddles, but bull support has been less aggressive. and the talk around the ring has reflected an unsettled sentiment, al- though there was some buying here at todays decline on the absence of hedge selling and the possibility of later season crop damage and of revived peace rumors.

ALASKA AND COLORADO

1 The energetic men of the Pacific slope
 who have been occupied with an agitation
 with intent to persuade Congress so to
 act as to stimulate the development of Alaska do not appear to be hopeful of im- mediate action. Charles E. Shepard of Seattle, who has been prominent in this agitation, has collected information which shows the magnitude of the realized re- sources of Alaska, hundreds of millions in all, and what these have meant for the United States. Yet it seems almost impossible to persuade Congress that if there were wise legislation and proper regulation and correct attitude taken toward conservation Alaska would pour into the United States many millions more year than the territory is now doing
 A like complaint comes from Colorado, where there is no disagreement of opin- ion respecting the inexpedient attitude of the government toward conservation of Colorado's resources. The timber indus try there is suffering from the 'do-noth- 1 ing policy. Those who are undertaking l to coordinate the industries of the United States so that industrial preparedness may be perfected know how much de- pends upon our ability to obtain suf- ficient supply of radium at fair price.
 | Supplies of radium could be obtained in Colorado and the price for it be much reduced because this mystic metal would be. relatively speaking. abundantly se- cured. Colorado is rich, so to speak, in
 radium. but the citizens of that state say the government lets it lie undevel- Inv,o

LEXINGTON, KY.,MAN BELIEVES HE COULD
 WIN IN FOOT RACE
Says He Is Just Brinful of New Life and Energy
 Since Taking Tanlac

T feel just like getting out there ir the street now and outrunning any man in this town, was the characteristic statement made by J. E. Woodward, d Well-known citizen of Lexington, Ky, in telling his friends of the remarkable benefits he had derived from Tanlac.
 Yes, sir, it's a fact" he continued
 T have only used Tanlac for about two weeks now, and 1 am like new man. feel just brimful of new life and energy, and my family and all of my friends can see the difference in my condition.
 Before 1 began taking Tanlac l could not raise my left hand to my head and 1t had been that way for fully two years 1 suffered from stomach trouble, rheu- matism and neuralgia, and no other medi- cine seemed to do me a particle of good. It certainly was great day for me when l heard of Tanlac, and take great pleas ure in recommending it."
 The above statement appeared in a re- cent issue of the Lexington Leader, and IS only one of many thousand of similar statements that have been made by grate- ful users of Tanac in all parts of the country from Maine to Mexico. Tanlac is now on sale in practically every city, town and village throughout the entire United States and is selling at the phe- nomenal rate of 5,000009 bottles per year.
 Never before perhaps in all history has anything in the way of a medicine ever sprung into such immediate prominence and popular favor. People everywhere have been quick to recognize it's superior merit and wonderful curative powers, and 1t is now unquestionably the most widely talked of medicine in the world today.
 In the comparatively small city of Lex ington alone over 10000 bottles of Tanlac were sold in only a few months time and although it was introduced there more than year ago, the phenomenal demand for it continues unabated.
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclusive ly by Patton-Pope Drug company and Eugene Jacobs Drug store; in Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug company; in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug company; in Pratt City by Gale Drug company and Ill North Birmingham by Walker Drug company.-Adv

COTTON PRICES MAKE
 NEW LOW GROUND
Weekly Review of New York Cotton Market Shows Un- 5
 favorable Conditions

New York, June 1.-The cotton market has been nervous and unsettled during the past week, with prices making new low ground for the movement owing to the generally favorable character of the weather and crop advices. Fluctuations were quite irregular during the earlier part of the week. A considerable demand from trade and investment sources ap- peared to develop each setback to about the 12a4 4-cent level for October con tracts and there were frequent rallies. Private reports, however, created an inn pression that crop prospects were fully up to the 10-year average, while the continued good weather and the less op- timistic view of immediate peace pros poets also promoted increased offerings

PACIFIC COAST ON CREST OF GREAT PROSPERITY WAVE Bank Deposits in San Fran cisco Reach Phenome-
 nal Figures .COLORADA EAGER FOR LESS CONSERVATION Commission of Industrial Prepared ness is Doing Some Great
 Work in Assembling
 Data
By HOLLAND

New York, June 4.-(Special.) )-For few months after the beginning of the Euro pean war; some of the reports which
 came to this city from the Pacific slope told of some commercial depression there, showing that this condition prevailed from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The reports were found afterward not to be exactly correct, and those best informed were in clined to think that general business and commercial conditions were much bet 1 ter upon the Pacific slope, excepting per haps in the lumber industry, than else- where in the country.
 But whatever may have been the con- ditions a year and half or two years ago in the business world of the Pacific slope some accurate statistics make it clear that prosperity is abundant there now. For if it be true that bank deposits and resources are fairly good index of prosperity then proof of this kind is fur nished by latest reports from San Fran cisco.
 In recent publication prepared by the Comptroller of the Currency, John Skel- ton Williams, he gave list of nearly 50 banks in the United States the deposits of each of which are in excess of $25, ,0O0,- GOO.
 Careful study of Comptroller Williams table reveals the somewhat curious fact that the only city west of Kansas City which has bank deposits in excess of $25, 100000 is San Francisco, and not only one bank there but four now show depos- its in excess of this amount. San Fran cisco also ranks above New Orleans, as well as Denver and Seattle, with respect to bank deposits. Apparently deposits are rapidly growing in the San Francisco
 banks, and as there is no longer any
 Pacific coast exposition there this in-
 crease in deposits must be referred to
 rapid accumulation of funds by the peo-
 pie who are carrying on greatly increased
 business.
 These San Francisco figures that tell
 the story of increased bank deposits make it clear that general prosperity and &C., cuculation of large funds are not ex- clusively characteristic of what was called the great money centers of the east, but are nationwide.

RoosEvELTs STATEMENT

In his address at Kansas City on Me-
 morial Day, Colonel Roosevelt said that
 industrial preparedness is condition
 upon which preparedness for defense in
 time of war depends. In other words,
 Colonel Roosevelt agrees with those who
 are now giving a great deal of their time
 to secure industrial mobilization. Will liam L. Saunders, one of the leaders in
 American industries, who is now greatly occupied in industrial mobilization for preparedness; Frank Trumbull, Edison
 and others have put the same thought which Roosevelt expressed into other words and quite as impressively as the colonel did in his own words. The naval consulting board committee on industrial preparedness is now occupied with the consideration of three distinct proposi- tions W. s. Clifford, who is the super vising director of his committee, says that the first step is to find out what Amer can industry can actually produce in mu- nitions of war. The second step is to apply that knowledge so as to make it possible to put the plants of this country into the service of the government for army and navy needs. The third step re- quires the perfecting of an organization Of skilled labor which can be relied upon to keep at work on the industries in case of war, or, in other words, American in- dustry is to be enrolled at it's source.
 The general work of this committee is be
 ing very thoroughly organized, but it in-
 wolves almost countless details. For in-
 stance. there is to be a complete incen-
 try of the industries as whole of the United States. as complete as though it
 were for the purpose of taking account
 of stock. At least a year will be required
 for this single detail. So far has the
 work progressed that it is no longer ac- curate to say that the United States is aggard in the necessary work of indus trial preparedness.
