Sweden finds itself in much the same pre-
dicament now as was Holland at the opening of
the war. An energetic belligerent has sown
the waters of the Baltic with mine field"
that means the cutting off Of sea traffic Of all
kinds, an action against which the Swedes not
only protest, but propose to remedy by remov-
ing the Mines Holland was forced to take
similar action in the fall of 1914. in order that
its ports might be kept open. The lofty disre-
gard for neutrals displayed at the opening OF
the war has increased, rather than diminished,
in spite of the most vigorous representations,
and the present course indicates no purpose OF
the warning nations to show greater consdera-
ton for their peaceful neighbors. In this in
stance the circumstances are interesting, be-
cause or the fact that the Swedes have shown
an unmistakable bias for the Germans, although
maintaining a neutrality 90 rigid as the most
punctilicus might require. Traffic between the
ports Of sweden and Germany has continued
with but little interruption, and has been the
occasion OF not Q little friction between the
swedes and the English. The Immediate effect
of the present protest is not likely to be more
effective than those that have preceded 10, but
as the pressure on neutral commerce increases
the probability of concerted action for protec-
ton also grows.

was the first and only party so far
to ask the legislature to amend the laws
for the collection Of debt against poor
debtors. I drafted a bill which was in
troduced in the legislature at its last
session which would have reduced costa
in Justice courts at least 50 per cent all
where garnishee proceedings are now in
voked. That bill was killed by the Doug

fused to reduce justice costs doubled the
mileage fees Of constables In cases, so
that when a poor debtor lives ten miles
from the court house he must pay 81
mileage fees where he was required to
pay 81 before the law was amended
Where the debtor lives within mile OF

80 cents more in each case which goes
