Copenhagen, Jan. o. Sweden does
not intend to let Germany lose the
European war, even if she is forced
to make war herself as Germany's
ally.
Sweden may not insist upon an
out-and-out German victory, but she
feels she cannot, for her own safety,
allow the Russians to beat Germany.
She is not particularly pro-Germaq
or pro-ally, but she is anti-Russian
with her whole soul. She will fight
with Germany before she will see
Russia win. She believes her
strength will be the deciding factor
in the last resort
This is the outstanding fact in the
Scandinavian situation as outlined to
the United Press today.
AS far back as any Swede can re-
member, all Swedes have been in ter
,ror of a Russian attempt to secure
the cars much and long coveted
warm water port on the west coast
of the Scandinavian peninsula. This
can only be at Norway's expense and

May All Have Deen Killed
byFeeble Minded Young Man
TEXT OF
THE LAST
i. 5. NOTE

Washington, May 9.-FoIIowing is
the text of the note cabled by Secre-
tary Lansing to Ambassador Gerard
at Berlin with instructions to deliver
it to the German minister of foreign
affairs:
"The note of the imperial German
government under date of May 4, 1916,
has received careful consideration by
the government of the United States.
1t is especially noted as indicating the
purpose of the imperial government as
to the future, that it SIS prepared to
do it's utmost to confine the operation
OF the war for the rest of it's duration
to the fighting forces Of the belliger-
entS,' and that it is determined to
impose upon all it's commanders at
sea the limitations of the recognized
rules of international law upon which
the government of the United States
has insisted.
Throughout the months which have
elapsed since the imperial government
announced on Feb. 4, 1915, it's sub
marine policy, now happily abandoned,
the government of the United States
has been constantly guided and re-
strained by motives OF friendship in
it's patient efforts to bring to an
amicable settlement the critical ques-
tions arising from that policy. Ac-
cepting the imperial government s
declaration of it's abandonment of the
policy which has so seriously menaced
the good relations between the two
countries, the government of the Unit
ed States will rely upon a scrupulous
execution henceforth of the now alter
ed policy OF the imperial government
such as will remove the principal
danger to an interruption of the good
relations existing between the United
States and Germany.
The government of the United
States feels 1t necessary to state that
1T takes it for granted that the
imperial German government does not
| intend to imply that the maintenance
of it's newly announced policy is in
any way contingent upon the course
or result of diplomatic negotiations
between the government of the United
States and any otheT belligerent gov
ernment, Notwithstanding the fact that
certain passages in the imperial gov
ernment's note of the fourth instant
might appear to be susceptible of that
construction. In order, however, to
the government of the United States
notifies the imperial government that
1T cannot for a moment entertain
much less discuss, a suggestion that
respect by German naval authorities
for the rights of citizens of the United
States upon the high seas should in
any way or in the slightest degree be
made contingent upon the conduct of
any other government affecting the
rights of neutrals and noncombatants.
Responsibility in such matters is
single, not joint; absolute, not rela-
tive"

MISS DAVIS WORK AS
PORTIA Was SPLENDID

A serious omission was made in the
writeup Of the presentation of The
Merchant of Venice at the Moorhead
Normal school on Saturday evening.
Through an error no mention was
made of the splendid work of Miss
Lucille Davis as Portia, the principal
female character in the great drama.
Miss Davis work was delightful to
say the least. Her enunciation was
, clear and distinct while her acting of
the difficult role was without doubt
the best amateur work of the kind
ever seen in this section.
Miss Davis is a Fargo girl and has
a great amount of talent that was
spIendidIy exhibited in this splendid
production. Backed with a strong
cast the work OF Miss Davis as Portia
and Wallace Rusness as Shylock gave
production that was entirely out oil
the ordinary.

Fixed Responsibility.
The elder Shiflet disappeared two
weeks ago, and evidence uncovered in
the last few days served to fix re-
sponsibility on the young man. An
field Shifiet and his father were bound
for Darlington when last seen.
The following day, young Shi1et
said his father had gone to Washing
ton in the interests of a patent, by
which young Shiflet declared it would
be possible to defect bullets from their
course, making them pass harmlessly
by the wearer of his invention.
On that same day, young Shiflet
took q can of kerosene to a straw pile
some distance from the residence, eX-
planning that he was going to burn the
body of dead horse.

Several times thereafter, young Shi-
flet visited the straw pile, each time
starting fire. s
