WILL DISCIPLINE SWEDEN

Allies Plan Punishment for Playing
Germany's Game.
Washington. Sept. 12.-The allies in
tend to discipline Sweden vigorously
for playing Gcrmany's game in Argen-
tina.
The exact trend of this discipline is
unknown. though the general thought
here is that it will result in shorten
ing rations.
Severance of diplomatic relations
will not come unless Sweden fails to
disavow her envoy's action at Buenos
Ayres.
If an explanation does not come
within a reasonable time. the allies,
acting in concert. probably will de-
mand an explanation.

Canadians Advance up Mer-
chelIe Spur Following
Bitter Fight.
RIDGE MORE THAN
HALF SURROUNDED.
Germans Vigorously Con-
test Every Inch Territory.
Gained in Drive.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-The
British renewed the drive
around Passchendaele ridge
making satisfactory pro-
gress, Haig reported.
Front dispatches declared
the Canadians advanced up
Mercheele spur, through
Mosselmarkt, northwest of
Passchendaele. The fight
was unusually bitter, the
Germans vigorously contest
ing every inch of territory.
The Canadians carried Nee
cheele spur by a stor1ning
attack. Mosselmart is a sub
urb of Passchendaele, lying
almost at the top of the spur.
If the British are able to
hold the village, Passcher-
daele is more than half en-
circled.
Presumably Haig aims to capture
the last bit of Passchendaele ridge.
Local attacks carried the British to
the outskirts of the city. Beyond
I'aassehendasle, the enemy holdss only
about mile and a half OF ridge, ex-
tending to Westroosebeke All re-
naming high ground. including seven
miles of Sonnebeke and Passchen-
daele ridges has been swept into
British possession.
The immediate object of the British
drive in this sector is Dixmude ridge,
paralleIing the entire German line
from Dixmude through Passchen-
daele. This ridge commands many
miles Of Flanders territory. Three
miles further lies 'Roulers, the center
Of the German communication system
connecting the interior with the sub
marine bases. The British campaign
is aimed at piercing this line.
