SWEDEN FEELS
RESENTMENT
Over Alleged Misrepresenta-
ton of Her Exports
and Imports
WASHINGTON MES
SAGE CALLED UNTRUE
The Stockholm Newspapers
Charge Washington Govt.
with Inconsistency

Stockholm, July l2.-General resent.
ment has been aroused in Sweden by a
dispatch from Washington, purporting to
give an official report on Sweden's ex-
ports and imports. The report says that
Sweden exports quantities of materials
for making munitions, including iron
ore, manganese, steel, copper, zinc and
wood pulp and imports iron ore from
America to replace the surplus export.
The paper charges inconsistency, saying
that America protested against the same
policy that Washington now threatens
TO adopt.
The Associated Press has received q
statement from an authoritative source
which says that it is no secret that
Sweden exports iron ore but that it ex-
ports to England and other countries
and that the proportions are nearly the
same as before the war Wood pulp is
sent to Germany; also to America,
France and other countries. The state
ments that Sweden exports sulphur and
zinc TO Germany and imports iron ore
from America are untrue.

TARDY CAMPAIGN STARTS.
For Recruiting vermont's Quota in the
Regular Army.

Burlington, July l2.-The regular
army recruit depot at Fort Ethan Allen
is anxious to hear from a few hundred
other young Vermonters OF good charac-
ter, single, between is and 40 years of
age, for enlistment in the army. No
special training is necessary to enlist
Recruits are all trained progressively and
efforts are made to utilize every mans
special abilities to the fullest extent in
the interest of the government as well
as the individual.
Men enlisting now should have special
for getting early training.
Recruits are being enlisted and shipped
to the camps at Syracuse, \. Y, Fort
Myer, Va, and other training rendezvous
in various parts of the country.
1t is believed that many more young
men would be glad to enlist If they were
able to get desired information. The
depot at the fort will be glad to answer
al questions and recruits have no diff
,ulty in getting passes or furloughs for
, few days if necessary to return home
md settle affairs.

Berne, British admiralty per wireless

BRITISH LOST
1900 ALL TOLD
NEAR NEWPORT
German Attack Has Quieted Down for
the Present at Least-British Had
Only Two Battalions at
That Point.

London, July l2.-The total British
casualties resulting from the German
success near Nieuport, Belgium, ON Tues
day were about 1900, including prison
ers. These figures were given by Maj
Gen. Maurice, chief director of the mill.
tary operations to-day. The section cap.
tured by the Germans was defended by
only two battalions. The German claim
of 1880 prisoners he considered probably
accurate.
The British official statement last
night was as follows:
"The extreme intensity of the enemy's
artillery fire on the Nieuport front has
now diminished. Our artillery continues
actively.
"The enemy attacked our advance
posts east of Monchy Le- Preux this
morning on front of about 500 yards
and succeeded in pressing some of them
back very slightly. An attempt by the
enemy to rush one of our posts north
west of Lens early this morning was
driven off, one wounded prisoner remain
ing in our hands.
Bad weather yesterday prevented any
aerial activity on either side until even
ing. During the night We bombed two
enemy airdromes. All our machines re-
turned safely"

BOYS CONFESS THEFTs.
Series of Breaks in st. Johnsbury Since
July 3.

St. Johnsbury, July l2-Three boys
aged IS and Ia, have been taken by the
police in connection with series of bur
| glaries which have been in progress in
st. Johnsbury since the Sd of July. The
boys are Elwin Carter, Modesto Dupuis
and Edmond Desitets, all of this town.
Carter was taken by the police few
days ago, his case was heard before
Judge Frye and he has been placed in
the hands of the probation officer.
The pair taken yesterday afternoon
confess to breaking and entering the
stores of e. n. Randall. Charles C. Locke,
Henry j. Goodrich Beauregard brothers,
+. G. Asselin and the grist mill of E. T.
and II. K. Ide. The Randall store was
entered the night before the Fourth of
July and last Sunday night. A total of
between four and five dollars was taken
in the two breaks. Materials were taken
from the Locke store; Goodrich claims to
be out 81 06; $9.97 was removed from
the Beauregard cash drawer; Asselin's
store was entered by the way of the fire
escape and rear window and $40 taken
from the register, and the Ide cash books
show deficit of 20 cents.
Thursday night last the boys took the
automobile of the Beauregara brothers
and enjoyed a trip to Danville and back.
One of the boys knows how to run
car. Another trip was taken about the
country in A. L. Bragg's machine.
