uARBORING A VIPER.

II is difficult to tell which is most
embarrassed by the recent disclosures
regarding the Swedish foreign office
in Buenos Aires, Sweden or Argcn-
tina. Documents now III the posses
sion of the American government
prove that the Swedish minister to
the South American republic used his
office as an information and spy bu-
reau for the benefit OF Germany, not
only going to the extent of an
nouncinE the arrivals and departures
of vessels and political conditions, but
advising the foreign office at Berlin
what was best to do under the cir
cumstancos. This information all
passed thru the foreign0 office at
stockholm before II was forwarded
TO Berlin. Thus Sweden made her
self "a secret ally Of the kaiser while
protesting the greatest possible at
tempt at neutrality. The outlook
looks bad for Sweden, especially
when America and her European al
lies proceed to call upon her for an
explanation, as no doubt will be
speedily done.
There is no reason to suppose that
Argentina is in any way responsible
for this state of affairs, yet 1t must be
humiliating as Well as surprising for
her to learn that her protection was
placed over n disloyal and really bel
%
Swedish minister was nothing less
than a secret agent OF Germany and
used his official position TO avert sus-
picion 1t is doubly embarrassing to
dealing. since she had just come to
an agreement with Germany and was
fchcitating herself on being able to
hoporably remain out Of tho world
wide disturbance. Just what effect
:ho disclosures will have on public
sentiment in Argentina II Is too soon
TO announce. but there is no doubt
that Sweden is in FOR serious time.
1t would seem as IL she would be
forced to come out openly now as an
ally OF Germany, dilemma which
she has studiously struggled To avoid.
She cannot be expected TO join her
allies. for al her traditions and pref
udices incline her the other way. Stll,
she has not enough confluence in
Germany's hope OF victory to regard
an open alliance with the kaiser as
an agreeable arrangement.

Due to the heavy castXlty reports
from some OF the great battles on the
western front, the impression obtains
among many, especially parents of
the new army lads, that joining the
forces of the nation means practically
certain death.
No one would minimize the dangers
of war, especially In this day Of hor-
rible efficiency of death-dealing ma
chinery. There have been millions of
casualties, but often, In dealing with
casuaeties, we forget that more men
are engaged In the present war, IT
has been stated, than all previous
wars combined.
The committee on public informa-
tion has figured out the exact ratio
OF fatalities (not casualties, which in
cludes killed, wounded and mlssing)
TO the total modified army strength
OF the countries at war.
Eleven men in every thousand OF
mobilized strength of all the countries
have been killed during the first
three years OF the war.
The number killed in action and
diving of wounds has never been more
than 20 per cent OF the total casual
ties.
one obtains the impression OF great
slaughter Of men from reports of bat

saved now, is Just as important to
the nation as Is the manufacture of
airplanes and the storing behind the
battle lines of vast supplies of ammu

merly placed just 1S5 shells on armed
merchant vessels. That was more
than enough ordinarily but the Mo-
reni lost in a fight with a submarine
because its shells ran out. A safety
