SWEDEN SENDS. ORES FROM U. s. TO AID TEUT0NS Taken As Proof of the Need of Strong Curb on
 Neutrals.

Washington, July 9.-sAn official re- port just made to the American gov ernment showing the extent to which Sweden is furnishing supplies to Ger many reveals that the Central Powers are receiving enormous quantities of materials that go directly into the manufacture of munitions In export ing iron ore to Germany, Sweden, 1t is shown has supplanted shipments with imports from the United States.
 What this government will dc, to end this trade through operation of the export control act has not been an- nounced, but some of the Allies, it is known. are urging the United States 70 incense no food exports to Sweden until a definite understanding has been reached with the Swedish gov ern1nent concerning her exports to Germany.
 Iron ore shipments from Sweden to Germany, the report declares. have reached a total of 5000, 900 tons in the last two years, all of it of the high grade required in production of fine steel. This it is declared, represents an amount equal to Sweden,s entire pre-war export.
 In the first quarter of the present year, it is set forth, Sweden imported from the United States 16OO0 tons of pig iron, whfie selling a great quan- tity of her own product to Germany. Her pig iron sales to Germany in two years. it is declared, have amounted to 250,000 tons. In addition to this. 1t is asserted, she has shipped to Ger. many 15.O00 tons of ferro manganese for hardening shells with large quan- titles of copper, zinc, manganese, s,ll phur and other ores
 Germany, the report declares, has obtained from Sweden in two wears fully 200, 0,O00 tons of wood pulp for use as basis for celEulose, used instead of cotton for the manufacture of higt explosives Germany also has ob- tained from Sweden large ql1antities of bah bearings for use in the naam1. fracture Of war vehicles and suIbrna. rines The value of these shipments the report declares, is at least s75.- GOO, 600.

HAND CRENADES STEM ATTACKING.
 GERMAN TROOPS


 \ French Front, June IA (by matl) = Grenades thrown with wonderful pre- cision5 by devotees of .Pelota," the national game of Cuba, of Spain and of the Basque country in the south west of France. have done much toward defeating the almost tncessant counter attacks by the Germans. on the plateau of California, overshadow- ing Craonne, and on the Classmates plateau, further west along the Chemin, which are joined by a mar row crest.
 These men whose homes are in the Pyrenees have fought gallant1y ever since the outbreak of hostilities. It was they who took Craonne, the key position of the eastern end of the Chemin. and it was they who were in possession of the town and its vi- cinity when the Germans made their repeated efforts to reconquer the ground to which the German com- nlanders attach so much importance.
 The latest violent effort was. made on June 3, when Gen. von Bohm with two fresh divisions of Rheinish troops, the 18th and the 41st. who had just been hurried back from the Ruman- ian front, assaulted the California and the Classmates plateau with sud- denness and fury such as has rarely been noted on the part of the Ger mans
 The attack opened with an intense artillery battle under which, how ever, the Basquez sat tight in their trenches improvised out of shell holes joined together.
 When the awful storm of shells ceased the occupants of the trenches saw advancing toward them wave after wave of German infantry who crossed the dessicated ground elbow to elbow, their numbers far in excess of those of the French defenders. Not a sign, however, was given by the
 RasQues of. yielding ground until the German ranks opened and brought te view men equipped with implements throwing liquid flames. Then and only then the BasQues fell back at. those portions of their lines which were l.sprinkled with blazing spirit. This re tirement was but a temporary one The French soon organized a counter attack with grenades and bayonets The hand grenades were thrown by them with such precision, owing -te
 
 game, that they quickly forced the
 Germans out again and in the fury of their onrush even advanced beyond their original lines.
 On the right of this Basque line the famous chasseurs had an equally SC were fight with the attacking Germans who eventually were thrown back after suffering great losses. Not an inch of the ground gained by the French in the first movemen ] of this offensive has been lost. The German artillery Is compelled to fire almost at random, since the F,renct possess aIl the most valuable observa, tories, whence they. can watch tht movements of their enemies in ths valley of the Ailette down below ant on the crest at the other side, whicl
 before the French offensive wast tn, third German position.
 Information gathered from the pris oners shows that the German higl
 command cannot reconcile itself t
 the loss of Craonne and the Chemil land the officers of the fighting unit
 have been ordered repeatedly to talk them at any cost
