GRAVELY HUMnIATING

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service]
LONDON, Sept. 13.-Hjalmal
Branting, leader Of the Swedish so
cialfsts and minister in the Swedish
cabinet, telegraphed the United Press
today that the Luxburg Incident was
"gravely humiliating to Sweden
whose people will suffer the more for
tolerating since 1915 tho present re-
dictionary Prussian-like rule"
Branting's party is likely to be
swept into power in elections now in
progress. as evidence Of the Swedish
revulsion against conservative rule
and domination of pro- German court
party.
His statement today was in re.
sponse to cabled request that he
express his opinion on the Washing
ton state departments revelations.
THE official explanation of the for
eign office" Branting replied, "shows
that Germany misused a confidence
carelessly given. The Swedish Off
cials acted in good faith, but such
uncontrolled permission does not ac-
cord with our impartial neutrality,
especially since the agreement made
with England in 1915 to end such
traffic toward the United States.
Foreign Minister Lindman, in fail
ing to understand the Importance of
discontinuance Of the whole ar
rangement, shows objectionable and
blind confidence in German official
honesty"

feeling in Sweden was increasingly
stirred today as full Significance Of
the American revelations Of Count
Luxburg's use of Sweden's diplomatic
privileges was borne home. Liberal
party members who have been fight
ing against the conservatives for
''Prussianizing" Sweden, were spread
ing full details OF the incident and
quoting copiously from allied and
neutral opinions assailing the con-
conservative ministry for it's part In
the scandal.
American Minister Morris had two
lengthy conferences with Foreign
Minister Lindman on Tuesday and
Wednesday and afterward sent full
reports by cable to Washington. He
is now awaiting further directions
from the state department.
Hints at Bribery.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13-Of1clal
Italian cables today quote the Swed-
ish minitser in Rome in an interview
given the Giornale D'Italia as fol-
lows:
"The Luxburg-Lowen incident must
be attributed to some bribed officials
at Buenos Aires and Stockholm.
"The whole affair must have been
transacted unknown to Ambassador
Lowen. If however. Lowen is found
for breach of neutrality,
the Swedish people will not wait for
any pressure from the entente TO
exact justice for an offense against
the honor of the nation.

entent will be only momentarily dis

1.-THE BEST IN
THE WEST"

The Glee Club of GrnneIl College holds ii
unique place among similar clubs in the middle
west During it twenty-five continuous seasons
it has appeared successfully, in concerts from
Chicago to the Pacific, and at present ranks
among the very foremost amateur organizations
which attempt serious study and an artistic
presentation OF the best music
The Grinnel Club is in no sense a make
shift organization, such college glee clubs are
popularity supposed to be. Many of its members
are singers and instrumentalists of pronounced
ability, and from the very first, the training of
the club has been of the most rigid and thorough
type. The dictatorship does not change from
year to year: in fact there have been but four
directors since 1894, at which time the club was
organized. The Club lays particular emphasis
upon rich and refined quality of tone, purity of
intonation, fleXibility of expression, and that
enthusiastic way of singing which is one of the
chief charms of a male chorus.

EXPERT ON BIRDS
TALKS TO WOMEN
Mrs. J. M. Kavanaugh of La
grange, ILL.,, Speaks to
Woman'S College Club.

Mrs. j. NJ. Kavanaugh of La
grange. Ill, gave a most interesting
and instructive talk on Birds in
the Garden" before the members of
the Woman's College club at the
Oliver hotel Monday afternoon. Be
fore introducing the subject Of
bringing birds into the garden. Mrs.
Kavanaugh dwelt at considerable
length upon the general study Of
birds.
Birds, to the bird lovers and
student, become personalities. a voice
joining the past with the present"
stated Mrs. Kavanaugh. 1T requires
a keen eye, a quick ear and loving
patience To acquire a knowledge of
them and the interest which one
displays in birds is often met with
more or less ridicule from those who
care nothing about them" Mrs.
Kavanaugh urges everyone 10 at
tend the bird pageant 10 be held

Concerning birds in the garden,
the speaker impressed upon her
hearers the value of their presence
in comparison TO the harm which
they are often said 10 do. One cat

insects. If a pan of water is placed
beneath the grape arbor it very
often saves the grapes since many
birds eat the fruit from thirst.
Birds Fly Swiftly.
Bird migration. continued Mrs.
Kavanaugh, is the greatest mystery
that the whole animal kingdom pre-
sents. For instance, the bob O. link
makes its winter quarters in Brazil
and the blue bird in the Bermudas.
The speed of which the little crea-
lures are capable is amazing and al
most unbelievable. A blue bird
travels at the rate of a mile a min
ute and the average rate of all birds
is 100 miles an hour.
Every meadow lark is worth a
81 a year 10 the farmer and aside
from eating insects harmful TO the
flowers and fruit of a garden. birds
eat mosquitoes. which are our par
ticular pests"
All that birds require to bring
them into the garden is food. water
and protection and they will return
year after year and repay such
kindness. But the feeding of birds
i'm winter and elimination Of the
undesirable sparrow and cat are
important parts of the work Of
preserving them. Clearing a place
in the snow in winter and scattering
grain about has become a common
occurrence i'm many places, par
ticularly in the eastern states.
The afternoon closed with a gen
eral discussion by the members and
Mrs. Kavanaugh On Monday. April
,. Mrs. ]. H. Boardman of St. Paul
will speak upon Color Harmony in
the Garden" Preceding the talk.
there Will be a luncheon for the club
members and Mrs. Boardman at the
Lexington tea rooms.
