Sweden Reused BY Report She

STOCKHOLM, July 12.-General re-
sentiment and indignation has been
aroused in Sweden by News agency
dispatch from Washington giving what
is termed IAN official report to the

imports.
The report, for which authority is
not named, declares in brief that
Sweden exported to German great
quantities OF materials for making am
munition. including especially iron ore.
terro silicates, manganese. steel, cop
per, sulphur. zinc and wood pulp and
imported iron ore from America to re-
place the surplus exported.
Friendly Papers Yelp.
Even newspapers most friendly to
America join the chorus of indignant
condemnation of these charges. The
papers call attention to Americas at
titude regarding exports and arraign
what they term the governments in
consistency. They declare that Amer
lea repeatedly protested to England
against precisely the same policy
which Washington now threatens to
adopt against Sweden.

statement: 1T is no secret that we are

1t is our chief article of export. But
we export also to England and other
countries and the proportions of our
exports remain nearly the same as be.

to England and Russia.
"The statement that we are export
ing sulphur and zinc to Germany is
a ridiculous error. We raust import
sulphur for our own use and Germany
produces more zinc than she uses.

WILL CONTEST RIGHT OF
RAILROAD TO SUSPEND

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Oct. g.
The public service commission Tues
day opened an inquiry which is ex-
pected 10 settle the question OF
whether a railroad or any other util-
ity in Indiana has right TO quit
business without obtaining the con-
sent OF the commission.
The question comes up in the case
Of the Cincinnati, Button and Chi
cago railroad, which runs from Port
land TO Huntington. Service was
discontinued when the road was sold
under court orders TO junk dealers.
Commissioner Charles Edwards has
said that he does not believe the
owners OF the railroad had the right
10 discontinue service without the
consent of the commission.
