The municipal housing problem,

entrance had more certainly doomed
Germany to defeat in the minds Of
her former supporters. This Is parti-
cularly true IN Sweden, where until
the last six months, most OF the
German sympathizers we're perfectly
confident OF her victory. The demo-
cEatization OF Russia. with the conse-
quent removal OF much OF Sweden's
fear OF that country. has also worked
well for the Allied cause here.
But so far as any departure OF their
neutrality goes. the last year has
probably strengthened the common
determination OF Norway, Sweden
and Denmark to keep out Of the war
This policy was thoroughly threshed
