SWEDEN REALIZES
SERIOUS MISTAKE
SERIOUSNESS OF PASSING MES
SAGES TO GERMANY REAL
lied IN THAT COUNTRY.
BEGINS TO PROBE BLAMED
Foreign Minister Anxious to Retain
Friendship of America-Trans-
mission of German Dispatch
Has Been Stopped.

ockholm.-Sweden realizes the
seriousness of the situation created
by the recent disclosures at Wash
ington regarding the transmission
Of German dispatches, and expects
to take all steps possible to put
matters right, Foreign Minister Lind
man said Saturday during an infor-
NAL talk.
All transmission of German dis
patches has been stopped, he said,
and Germany had been asked for
an explanation of the abuse of the
privilege formerly extended.
In the course of his discussion of
the affair with the correspondent
Admiral Lindman brought out the
following points:
First-That the Swedish govern
ment was not, as alleged in GER
tain quarters, taking the affair
lightly, but on the contrary realiz-
ed fully the serious aspect Of the
situation, and intended to do every
thing possible to settle the problem.
Second-That transmission of dis.
patches on behalf of Germany had
been stopped absolutely from the
moment when the disclosures we're
brought to the foreign minister's at.
tention and would under no cir
cumstances be resumed.
Third-That had the Swedish gov.
eminent had the slightest idea of
the nature Of the dispatches which
the German government was trans.
hitting the messages would never
have been transmitted.
Fourth-That strong representa-
lions had been addressed to the
German government on the abuse
made of this practice, accompanied
by a request for explanation, to
which, however, no reply had yet
been received.
Would Continue Relations.
Admiral Lindman during the en-.
tire conversation seemed imbued
with the desire to see the situation
cleared up fully and completely on
a basis satisfactory to the United
States and Sweden and in a way to
permit the continuance Of the most
friendly, cordial relations with the
American government and people.

TALKS OF WAR

out from this community can do
much. 1t is the united effort of a
united people that we want; the
united army of the United States
that a united public must sustain.
1--WE must make this war, it
seems to me, a matter Of consci-
ence. We must be unhappy unless
we are doing something to win the
war. We must give the right Of
way to this struggle. We must
waken in the morning with the
first thought not of how | can make
more money or of how | can have
a good time, but of how | can sus-
tain the government today in this
conflict. No person should be dis
turbed because his business is not
what it ought to be. If man is
permitted to have enough to live
until this war is over, he ought not
to complain.
But what can we do? you ask.
Very little yourself, perhaps. The
loaf of bread week that you save
is perhaps small, but if each wo-
man saves that loaf and persuades
her neighbor to save loaf, it will
spread to include our 100000 mil
lion of people. And even if we
don't need the bread thus gained
we need the hands that made it. If
this isn't the period now of sacri-
flee I tell you that period isn't far
away.
at isn't a pleasant thing" Judge
Hastings said, "to brighten people
but it is better to frieghten people
than to let the calamity come upon
them unawares. We must fight tC
the finish. There can be no peace
until we have won it for the right
side. The great danger now is that
with German victories in Italy
which from a military standpoint
amount to very little-that there
will come great cutlery from the
people of these nations which will
force their governments to treat
for peace. The United States mus
win the war for the world. 1t can
not be said of America that it is
in it for any selfish purpose; thai
it is in it for any reason but tt
make the world a safe place II
which to live. The American ma
tion stands for a type of Christian
ity unknown in Germany. There
can be no such thing as a just Goo
unless triumph comes to the side
of the Right.

make it clear to the public that

though there is knitting, sewing,
bandage making, ETC., to be done,
this is not obligatory, and every
One-man, woman, and child, is

1t is also announced by the COM

yarn for knitting will hereafter be
distributed from headquarters
rather than by Miss Crime as
previously. Knitters are also re-
quested to leave finished articles
at the Elliott building.

The girls wore these strapped to
their left wrists, like wrist
watches, and found them very
handy. Just here it might be said
that the girls refused to wear
flowers to the dance because they
considered the extra expense I'M
patriotic.
The music committee was fort
innate in securing Sumwalt's Or
chestra for the dance. Promptly
at seven, the grand march, led by
Miss Catharine McGraw, vice.
president of the Junior Glass, and
Mr.. Morris Pierson, passed by the

Miss Helen Mackey; Music Com
mittee-Miss Mary Jane Mason;
Program Committee-Miss Mary
Dennison.
The committees had a difficult
task in planning a dance that
would BE enjoyable and yet not
break laws of wartime conserva-
ton and economy. The refresh
ment committee especially had a
problem to solve in determining
how to provide good eats without
forgetting the slogan, Food will
win the War;"
The decoration committee work
ed with will, and used ever
greens with lavish hands. The rosy
glow of the lights in the rooms
shone through wreaths Of holly and
mistletoe. Lattices of crisp paper
and holly were in each window and
in arches over the doorway. Over
the mantels at each end of the Hill
arium was a banner, bearing the
numerals, made of holly, of the
guest of honor and the hostess
classes. The rooms were full of
warmth and cheer, in direct con-
trast to the bitter weather outside.
The program committee, desir-
ing. to further the idea of simpli-
city made the dance programs.
They were small white cards with

mission the time flew more rapidly
than ever, and although the hall
clock never passed 1890, midnight
came and the dance was over. The
first Junior Prom was a success.

defeat was largely due to the two
