LONDON, Sept. 10.-Possibilities Of

Sweden's pro-Germanism at the time
and took the stand that conference
in Stockholm, free from German in
fluence was impossible.
Severance of relations between
the allies and Sweden is regarded as

giving assurances that there will be
no repetition Of such an incident.
The revelations may bring about
crisis in Sweden. A change in the
Swedish government is forecast in
the result OF the general elections
which are now in progress, and
which have already shown a heavy
increase in the liberal and social
democratic vote and a decrease IN
the conservative vote. The Amerl'
can expose is deemed certain to give
the hranting (social democrat) party
control.
In view of this situation, the pos
sibility is faced Of the present gov
ernnlent taking the desperate course
of siding openly with Germany, risk
ing the domestic as we'll as interna
tional consequences.
This would bring Germany's lonG
anticipated seizure of Denmark, &C
cording to the general belief here. Il
would mean cutting off of a large
portion Of allied supplies to Russia,

Germany would doubtless drive Nor
