SWEDEN SUPPLYING GERAIa Nc
Sells Great Quantities of Munition.
Material-Some from America.

Washington, July S.-An official
report just made to the American
government showing the extent to
which Sweden Is furnishing supplies
to Germany reveals that the central
powers are receiving enormous uuan-
titles or material that go directly into
the manufacture of munitions.
IN exporting iron ore to Germany,
sweden, 1t Is shown, has supplement-
ed shipments with imports from the
United States.
What this government will do to
end this trade through operation of
the export control act has not been
announced, but some Of the allies. it
ls known, are urging the United
States to license no food exports to
sweden until definite understand
ing has been reached with the Swed-
1sh government concerning her ex-
ports to Germany.
iron ore shipments from Sweden to
Germany, the report made to this
government declares, have reached q
total Of 100000 tons in the last
two years, all Of it the high grade re-
quired in the production Of fine steel.
This, 1t is declared, represents an
amount equal to Sweden's entire pre-
war export.
In the first quarter Of the present
year, 1T Is set forth, Sweden imported
from the United States 10000 tons Of
pig iron, while selling great guam
tity OF her own product to Germany,
Her pig iron sales to Germany in two
years, it Is declared, have amounted
to 100000 tons. In addition to this,
1t Is asserted, she had shipped to
Germany 5000 tons Of ferro-siltcon
and ferro-manganese for hardening
shells, together with large quantities
OF copper, zinc, manganese, sulphur
and other ores.
Germany, the report declares, has
obtained from Sweden in two years,
fully 100000 tons of wood pulp for
use as basis for cellulose used in
stead Of cotton for the manufacture
OF high explosives.
Another charge against Sweden
made In the report is that she has
disseminated against the allies in the
use Of her railroads. Agricultural
machinery destined for Russia, the
report declares, has been held up for
months, Sweden eXacting from Rus
sia extraordinary bargains before de-.
livery was permitted. Sweden's ac-
tion in holding within her ports a
large amount Of merchant tonnage is
dealt with in the report, which de-
clares 100000 tons is lying idle.

The sentiment recently voiced most
strongly by the Archbishop of Can

majority Of the substantial leaders
Of public opinion. that the British

Germans is not popular with the
masses, and the suggestion that the

cease If each visitation was quickly
followed by similar stroke against

support among those who have look
ed on the bodies Of their slain and
mangled cOuntrymen.

patrols were already in the air
