UNITED Press Dispatch.1
Washington, September 12.-Scan-
dinavian dispatches indicate that
there is a movement on in Sweden
to dethrown King Gustavus and his
wife, Queen Victoria, the German
born princess Of Baden. This queen
is said to be a second Sophie in her
ability for intrigue. Just as Queen
Sophie, the sister of the kaiser, lost
the throne of Greece for her hus-
band, King Constantine, so It is be-
lieved that Queen Victoria is likely
to lose the throne of Sweden for
King Gustavus.
1t is reported that owing to the
publication of the reports from the
United States that German notes
were transmitted through Swedish
diplomatic channels from Argentina
to Berlin, there is powerful move
ment on foot to throw the conserva-
tive Pro-German party out Of power
and give the liberals the ruling ma
jority.
The statement of the Swedish
government that the offense will
not be allowed to occur again will
probably not satisfy the allies.
America. says there must be a COM
plete cessation of such things. Swed-
en- is now rationed by the allies. and
the discovery of her German
acts will probably not have the ef-
feet of inducing the allies to be any
more liberal in the amount Of food
and other merchandise that they.
allow to pass into Sweden.

With the British Armies in
France, September 12.-EvidentIy
seeking some paIIiation at home
for the recent heavy losses suf-
fered by the German forces around
Lens, the German government has
published statement of the Brit
ish losses, giving the total at
positively higher figure than the
total number of men engaged. The
German statement is that the
British losses came to 200, 1000. I
looked over one part of the battle
field around the famous French
coal city and in one spot saw
sixteen German corpses lying to-
gether. From all that | can learn
am satisfied that in the fighting
around Lens, the Germans lost
twice as many men as the Brit
ish.

DIR. A. E. WRIGHT
 ACCEPTS POST IN WASHINGTON

Little Rock, Dec. IA decided pro- motion has been given Dr. A., E. Wright, federal inspector in charge of tick eradication in Arkansas. who will leave for his new post at Washington Saturday. At this city he will be plac- ed in charge of the fight to eliminate tuberculosis from among cattle, and his territory will embrace several states.
 Dr. Marvin Gregory, who has been first assistant to Dr. Wright for the past eight years, and has established a fine record in his tick eradication work, will succeed Dr. Wright.
 The record of Dr. Wright in Ark ansas was so remarkable that it call- ed him repeatedly to the favorable mo- tice of his superior officers, and result ed eventually in his promotion. In July, 1909, when he came to Arkansas, there were but four counties in the state which were free of ticks. With this big task before him, he also su- pervised the same work in Louisiana and Missouri, and had 10 assistants and about 20 helpers under him. Since then he has made 60 per cent of the state tick-free, and within another 12 months it is predicted he will have three-fourths of it free. Rapid pro- gress was made udring the past year, when Dr. Wright devoted his atten- tion exclusively to Arkansas, Arkan- sas, and had 30 assistants and 200 helpers under him.
