Feeble Statement.

London, Sept. 13.-The statement
of the Swedish foreign office con-
demning the transmission of German
kilograms from Argentina is regarded
by the morning newspapers as ex-
tremely feeble. They say it will not
satisfy the belligerents and neutrals

The Times declares that the Stock
holm foreign office "dares not utter
comprehensive denial 1t pleads that
these particular messages were un-
known to It, but admits that Sweden
continued to act as intermediary be-
tween Germany and Argentina.
ut has the effrontery to quote as
precedents in justification of this
course the transmission of inquiries
from Germany about the civil popu-
lation Of Kiao Chau and from the
United States about American citi-
zens in Turkey. But by it's own con-
fession it knew the contents Of these
inquiries and knew that they were
harmless
The Daily Chronicle asserts that
the statement shows a decidedly
imperfect sense Of the immortality
and extreme gravity Of the proceed
ings. The treachery Of which the
Swedish foreign office is guilty is
quite indefensible"
The Morning Post says that the
admission of the Swedish foreign Of

NEW LINCOLN SCHOOL NEEDS
MORE ROOMS FINISHED

In placing the question of a bond
issue for $4,000 for the completion
of the new Lincoln school In the
Fifth ward before the voters, the ac-
ton was not voluntary one on the
part of the board of education but
one following the presentation from
citizens of the Fifth ward, which
must be acted upon by the board ana
placed before the voters.
It is stated that petition for the
issuance of bonds in such matter
must be signed by at least five per-
sons and in this instance 10 signed
the petition. When such petition is
presented to the board the board
must act accordingly and place the
question before the public upon a
designated date, in this instance the
date being set for September 22. The
voting hours are from z to 9 O'Clock
in the evening and the polls will be
opened at the Central building.

adapted for its purpose. When the
bonds for the school were voted the
sum was too low, owing to the sud
den rise in plumbing and heating
fixtures and other equipment. 1t was
then decided to erect the school as
planned and not detract from the
building, which has been done. 1t
was also deemed wise to finish five
rooms, the same number as in the
old Nymore school and finish other
rooms as needed, but with the open
ing of school the five rooms provided

so in use to accommodate all the
pupils. While the contractor is on
the ground and at work it is deemed
advisable to complete the building
in is entirety which also calls for
another boiler.
Good Business Proposition.
DR.. J. T. Tuomy, secretary of the
board of education. today expressed
himself that it would be good busi-
ness proposition to issue the $4,000
in bonds and complete the building
as it should be and not have the work
dragging along. The bonds are for a
period of fifteen years and bear 5
per cent interest.
