What messages was the Swedish
consul in Mexico sending TO Berlin
at the request of the German minis
ter?
Was he forwarding information
about the higher education Of Next

with the home ONCE?
Or was he cabling information

The German submarine command
ers had advance information Of the
sailing Of the first American troops

! ton leak through Mexico City. ana
did the German lackey from the
Swedish consulate carry the telegram

The American intelligence depart
ment, evidently. has collected an i'm
mense amount Of evidence Of these
activities, and the information IL be-
ing given out in installments by the
secretary OF state in order that 1t may
sink in thoroughly.
It is an almost unbelievable serial
OF the blacklist treachery, the most
cold blooded wholesale murder, and
the most barbarous brutality, that
will rank with the story Of the
determination OF the Americans and
the sack of Belgium.
The Swedish government has an
accounting to make unless IL can re-
flute the charges. That accounting
will be first of all to its own people.
Men like John Lind. former governor
OF Minnesota, OF Swedish birth and
one of Minnesota's most useful and
respected citizens, have bitterly de-
nounced the act of the Swedish gov
eminent. It may. bring a storm OF
condemnation that will sweep that
government from power, and posi-
bly, send another throne tumbling in
to the discard. carrying with 1t King
Gustav and his German queen.
If the Swedish people do not de-
nand that accounting, and II 1t is
shown that the messages sent
through Mexico City carried in
formation of the sailings of ships of
America and the Allies, the account
ing may be demanded from another
source.
Sweden's neutrality has been
jeopardized and her honor besmirch-
ed by a very small group OF her
government officials. Death is not
too severe a penalty for such
treachery.

RUSS REBELLION
FULLY STOPPED
(By Associated Press }


General Korniloff's rebellion has
ended with his arrest and that OF
General Lokomskys commander on
the Russian northern front. The
actual military leader in the rebel
lion movement, General Krymof is
dead Of self-infiuenced wounds. and
the ultimate fate of the arrested
leaders is causing wide discussion.
The Russian army on the Riga
front continues to display a fight
ing spirit, and has captured three
additional towns.
The heavy attack made by the
Germans north of Caurieres wood on
the Verdun front yesterday, netted
them little advantage. Paris re-
ports today that they were elected
last night from the greater part Of
the trenches they had occupied. Two
surprise attacks by troops OF the
crown prince in the Champaign met
with repulse.
On the Flanders front, the British
advanced their lines slightly by at
tacks east OF Westhocke. They held
the ground gained during the day
near st. Cullen in face Of a coun-
ter blow.

Mr.. Lincoln sent with his letter
three statements which he asked

ments follow:
That there is now a rebellion

that in your opinion an army and

That no one Of you will do
anything which in his own judg-

lessen the efficiency Of the army

That each of you will in his

Patriotic Americans Of 1917 can
well afford to take a lesson from
President Lincoln. II is a great
to descend to vituperation
when disloyalty shows it's head. Lin
colin saw the disloyalty in all its

acts were tree from malice and hate.

North Dakota supreme court main

constitutionality of the act of the

The War For the Week

1 In control there was always the
chance Of a return of the old autoc-
racy, and such an autocracy might
have been very embarrassing to
America as an ally. The sympathies
OF the free nations are undoubtedly
with the new government, and IL the
radicals can be subdued during the
armistice that winter will bring,
there is still a chance that Russia
will justify the confidence that the
United States and the other allies
have reposed in her.
The Swedish Disclosure.
The disclosures of the activities
Of the Swedish representatives in
Argentina and Mexico, divided inter-
est with the Russian revolution.
The Buenos Aires scandal does not
directly affect the Allies. They were
Argentine ships that were sunk, and
1t is a matter for settlement be-
tween Argentina, Sweden and Ger
many. The action of the Swedish
government has been condemned by
the Swedish people at home, in Ar
gentina and in America. That they
have no sympathy with conspiracies
to murder innocent, neutral citizens
is shown by the resolutions passed
by them, and by their public utter
ances. "Spurlos versenkt' promises
to become as grave an indictment
against the German government as
the invasion of Belgium, and the
Swedish officials cannot escape the
odium Of being partners in the crime.
The Mexican disclosures come
closer to home. They are even more
sensational than those in Buenos
Aires, because they may directly af-
feet the United States.
Meanwhile the weekly statement
on submarine losses is encouraging,
showing the smallest toll since the
unrestricted warfare began.
Americas Part.
Aviation plans in America were
given a tremendous impetus by the
perfection of the new Liberty Mo-
tor which is a standardized motor
for airplanes. 1t is said to have come
up to all expectations. and there is
now nothing to prevent the tremen-
dous industrial resources Of the
United States being modified behind
the aviation program.
That the United States is getting
into the war in earnest is shown by
the statement in Congress that the
total armed forces Of the country
now exceed 100000 men, not count
ing any Of the draft army which
is assembling. United States artillery
divisions are now in France, and
may be at the front ahead Of PERISH
ing's men. There is still time for the
United States to be a real factor
before winter sets in, and by spring
the full force Of this county will
begin to make itself felt.
That the Germans realize this is
shown by the steady stream of peace
talk. and Secretary Lansing has
seen fit to take Official note Of this,
warning the country against a Ger
man attempt to spread such peace
talk and delay the evil hour when
the United States must be counted
as a most formidable opponent.

War news for the week has con-
sisted almost exclusively of reports
Of the KorniIoff revolution in Rus
STA, and the disclosures Of the United
States intelligence department in
Buenos Aires and Mexico.
In Italy, General Cadorna's often
sive appears to have met a check
temporarily at least. That Austria
has called upon all available troops
to meet the Italian assault, is shown
by the fact that Turkish prisoners
have been taken on this front. This
is the first time the Turks are known
to have been fighting on the Isonzo.
and IT is evidence that the Austrians
were hard pressed. UnfavorabIs
weather has had something to do
with the hating of the advance, but
the italians continue their lombard

most intense aerial activity against

been little infantry fighting, although
the artillery Is busy, and seems to
presage another attack by the Brit

sions have made some minor gains
against the French. but there has
been no general fighting.
korniIof's Revolution.
General Kornilofrs revolution was
another Of the sensational, unexpect-
ed movements that have marked the
participation of Russia In the war. It
came as suddenly and as unexpect-
eddy to this country. az the revolu-
ton which overthrow the Romanoff
dynasty. An analysis Of its cause
is difficult until more detailed infor-
nation is available, but the general
opinion seems to be that IL was in
spired by q real desire on the part
of General KorniIofr to make a more
effective stand against Germany.
There is the possibility that II was
inspired In Germany, and was part
OF a plot TO restore the car. but
there is no evidence to support this
theory, and General Kornilofrs ad-
vocacy of a blood and iron" policy
would indicate that his sole desire
was to restore discipline to the army
and keep his country from anarchy.
German spies undoubtedly had ad-
vance information OF the revolution,
and the capture OF Riga appears to
have been timed to give IL strength
and, II possible, promote a civil war
in Russia The fact that the Rus
sian fronts were virtually undefend-
ed for three days. shows what a
coup it would have been IL the two
parties had been able to muster
nearly equal strength.
From a military standpoint 1t
probably did not materially matter
which party won, as long as one OF
them won quickly. General Korniloff
would have instituted his blood and
iron" policy and restored discipline.
Premier KerenslSy promises to take
more severe measures with the
army, and he apparently is making
an effort to conciliate the more con-
sentative elements in Russia and
unite all parties behind the war.
