 The Socialist party of New York has busted Charles Edward Russell the immediate reason being that he did not resign from the mission to Russia when asked to do by party officials
 We congratulate Russell his good judgment and in view Of the circumstances. congratulate him for being of the company of persons whose judgment has been un-American
 It is to be noted that this action against Russell comes at time when he is in Russia a government mission to a sister republic
 Whether the conscious purpose of this action at this time is to embarrass Russell and the American government cannot be proved-but that its effect is such is without question.
 It is matter for satisfaction on Russells mart that these men no longer wish to call him of them. but such action taken just is of piece with all of the other work for the kaiser that has been done in America.

SWEDISH OFFICIALS ACCUSEDDF
CONSPIRACY TO AID GERMANY

LONDON, Nov. Swedish army
officials were accused OF conspiring to
furnish millions of dollars worth Of
wool to Germany, in the course of an
action in the prize court here this
week.
The case concerned shipment Of
1,500 bales of wool, consigned to the
Swedish army, but restined. according
to the attorney general. for a German
firm in Leipzig. The shipment is val.
ued at 100000, being only one OF
several seized en- route from the Ar.
gentine Republic.
Intercepted documents, produced in
court, showed that the wool was not
intended to remain in Sweden. That
the Swedish army had no intention OF
using the wool was indicated, II was
asserted, by the fact that it's repre-
sentatives made no appearance in the
court and put in no claim to the car
go.
II was stated in court that the Bri
fish authorities had in the past, al
lowed several shipments of wool sim

The attorney general replied: The

the fact. The intercepted letters show
that this is part OF a very bad bust.
