CoPENHAGEN, Jan, s.-sweden does
not intend to let Germany lose the
European war, even IL 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-German or pro-
Ally. but she is anti-Russian with her
whole soul. She will fight with Ger
many 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-
day.
Fear Russian Plans
As far back as any Swede can re-
member, all Swedes have been in ter
ror, of 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 Nor
way can only be reached through
Sweden.

troops into the field. Experts doubt

BIG YEAR
FORAUTOMOBILES
Motor Car Officials At New York
Show Attribute Boom to the
War.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Kept at home
by the war in the midst of the greatest
prosperity wave in years, the American
people in 1916 viii buy moro automo-
biles than have ever been sold before
in a single year since the industry
began. This was the opinion today Of
representative sales managers in
charge of motor exhibits at the New
York automobile show. More factor
les will he enlarged TO meet the in
creased demand. but even with their
output increased to the utmost, some
manufacturers expect a great num-
Der OF untitled orders.
THE American people will buy near
ly half q million more automobiles in
1916 than in 1916" said l.. s. Jordan.
of KenoshA, Wis. sales manager OF
the Thomas B. Jeffrey Company. I'm
1915 the total sales OF passenger cars
was $4,000; in 1916 Il will approxi-
mate 100000. Though many facto-
ries arc running at full capacity and
charging their facilities. I expect
there will be at least 100000 untitled
orders"
Prosperity Divided.
Jordan believes the nations pros
perity is evenly divided.
THE Eastern prosperity seems to be
inflated" said Jordan, but in the West
it is a natural condition due to good
crops and conservative. sound business
methods. There the people are wealth.
Ter than at any other time in the last
thirty-fiVe years"
L. MeNaughtOn, OF Detroit. assistant
factory sales manager OF the Cadillac
company, was quite as enthusiastic as
Jordan, but estimated the increase in
sales at a more conservative figure. He
said sales would increase 25 to 30 per
cent and emphasized the recovery of
the South from the depression of two
years ago.
THE country is tremendously
wealthy" he said, land the people, pre-
vented by the war from spending their
money abroad are buying automobiles
with the money which otherwise would
have been paid for travelling.
War Enriches East.
Eastern prosperity undoubtedly is
due to war orders. This is partly ac-
countable Tor the Western prosperity,
but great crops are mainly responsible. -
THE big problem Is not to get orders
but to fill them" said II. j, &. Miller,
of New York, local sales manager of the
Winton Company OF Cleveland. THE
outlook never was as good as this year"
Optimism was the prevailing note in
all comment by automobile men at the
show.
