King Was Losing Control.

King Was Losing Control.
The coalition cabinet, composed as
above indicated. was not unexpected
in view Of recent happenings in Swe-
den. Within the last six weeks the
neutrality-suspicious. revelations, in
volving Sweden rather unpleasantly,
were published; elections we're held
with the result that socialists and lib
erals gained the upper hand. and the
conservative Swartz cabinet, only a
little more than six months old. re-
signed.
Various attempts have been made
by King Gustav to form a cabinet, but
unit: today such attempts were futile.
The attitude of the new cabinet to-
ward the methods employed under
the auspices of the late foreign min
lister was clearly enough indicated in
la resolution which was proposed by
professor Eden (the new premier) on
l~September 16, at a liberal meeting at
tended by $4,000 Stockholders. The
resolution read as follows:
Demand for Neutrality.
THAT this meeting expresses the
eign office Is not in a position to deny
the assertion that it forwarded cipher
kilograms in ignorance Of their con-
! tents-contents which, when reveal
ed, awoke righteous adherence
among all Swedes. We deplore that
such careless acts should have been
allowed to happen. The meeting de-
mands that the government shall inn
mediately undertake all necessary
measures to demonstrate indubitably
the Swedish peoples determination to
maintain towards all sides absolute
neutrality"
The appointment of Hjalmar Brant-
ing and three other socialists to cabi-
net posts m as a surprise a
Branting has consistently maintained
that his party did not desire portfolios
as long as it did not have a majority
among the voters. He himself has
declined several cabinet offers. 1t is
possible, however. that the extraor-
binary situation prevailing, and the
recent liberal victory. have combined
to change his views to h extent that
he thinks it correct. for the sake of
the country, to waive partisan view
points.
The international significance of
the appointments made today Is, 1t
seems, that Sweden will remain more
consistently and Intentionally neutral
than ever before. In a large way, the
appointment NEAR that the people
are effectively protesting against the
dangerous red tape policy Of bureau
cracy. '"

WAR SUMMARY

influenced by the German threat
against Petrograd now being develop
ed in the naval and military opera
tons in the Gulf of Riga and north
ward,
Previous suggestions that the re-
moval of the government to Moscow
was contemplated had reference not
only to the military situation, but to
the assumption that the government
might be freer to pursue its work in
where extremist influences are great
err and turbulent political conditions
more difficult to suppress.
While the small fleet the Russians
had in Riga waters apparently has
been penned in by the Germans as a
result of their land operations on
Oesel and Moon Islands n the dis
position of their superior naval forces
at strategic points off the gulf, the
main Russian fleet remains in the
Gulf of Finland. through which runs
the water route to P%etrograd. There
is apparently no intention of sending
it out to engage the Germans. al
though the men of the fleet r re-
ported anxious to fight.
On the western fighting front the
French have been engaged in some
intensive operations in the Aisne
region, centering in the district south
and southwest of Laon. extensive
raids have been carried out after the
guns had prepared the way and sew

RUSSIA'S WAR
FACTORIES ARE
WELL EQUIPPED
Partial Demobiliization Of the
Army Will Bring Work
ers to Industry.

Stockholm, Oct. 19.-An encourage
ing report as to the military factories
in the interior of Russia comes from
the commission, headed by Gen. Ger
menus of the Russian army, and an
English general, which has just fin
ished a tour of inspection of all the
factories newly erected or under
erection for the manufacture OF air
planes, arms and ammunition.
The Associated Press correspond
ent talked at the Russian legation
here with a man who had partici-
pated in this tour of inspection and
who accompanied the two generals
to Stockholm. He reports that Rus
sia's new factories, the erection of
which became necessary through the
diminution of supplies from other
countries, were found to be the most
modernly equipped and efficient fac
tories of their kind in the world.
Learned From Allies.
The experience of the other allies.
according to his account. had been
drawn on in full measure, and the
lessons learned had been taken ad-
vantage Of to such an extent that the
examining generals were surprised at
what they found.
The new plants included a great
airplane factory now nearing compile
ton. a large machine-gun factory al
ready working to full capacity, and
artillery factories at various places. A
further encouraging feature noted by
the visitor was that at all the factories
where the electrical and mechanical
side predcminates over purely manual
labor the capacity and output have
diminished only negligibly despite
the anarchic conditions prevailing

Need Locomotives. ..N
The capacity of the new Thurman
railway, it appears, has been greatly
increased, but there is still a sad
shortage of rolling stock. This will be
somewhat alleviated by transfers from
the Archangel line when that port be!
comes icebound.
But even then there will be great
need Of more locomotives. The capa-
city of the port of Thurman has also
been greatly increased, and the pres
ent capacity will have been increased
again by 80 per cent by the beginning
of winter.
The partial rehabilitation, which
recently was ordered, is confidently
expected to have immediate beneficial
results. Not only will rehabilitation
bring an army of laborers back to the
land but it will at the very outset
make available about 100000 horse
shoes now required by the troops al
the front. This aspect of the stu
alton is Of Importance than
might appear, since the shortage OF
horseshoes has seriously handicapped
the Russian farmers.

Uncle Sam Will not Tolerate
IL Tactics to Hinder Work
Wisconsin Sore"

Washington, Oct. 19.-vigorous
prosecution is in store for all persons
who are seeking to defeat the Liberty
Loan, Secretary McAdoo announced in
a telegram published today, adding
that he had called upon bankers for
the names Of any persons attempting
to intimidate them in connection with
subscriptions to the loan.
This step was taken as a result of
reports from bankers in various parts
of the country of threats on the part
of their customers to withdraw de-
posts if the banks subscribed to the
loan.
Both the treasury department and
the department of justice are today
bending all their energies towards the
apprehension and punishment of pro-
German workers who are engaged in
a campaign in a dozen or more states
to hinder the sale of the bonds.
Reports to the treasury today indi-
Gated that efforts to defeat the loan
had failed. Moreover, latest official
figures. which are up to the close of
business on October II, show sub
scriptions of $s27,174,650. an increase
