PANAMA CANAL AT ONE
 TIME UNNECESSARY
GeologiSt Discovers Evidence of Former Water Communication

Biologists have long known that the Atlantic and Pacific oceans were once directly connected by water that ex- tended across the present site Of Pan ana and adjacent areas in Central America. Then continents were thus separated during the Eocene and 0li- goeaae epochs-not so very long ago. as geologis.s reckon time. AT the end Of OHgoCane time. however. the surface ot the earth in the region about the site 5t Panama was raised by earth move nents which closed the mid-American pazsaga and established continuous land connection between North and South Ansrica-connection which un- II recently was believed to have re mained unbroken until the skill and indomicable per,inaci,y Of the United States Army engineers cut the bond ac Panama

SWEDEN RESENTS AMERICAN CHARGE AS ID HER EXPORTS
Strong Denial Is Made That Undue Aid Is Being Given to Germany
 by Shipments

Stockholm, July 12.-General resent ment and indignation has been aroused in Sweden by a. news dispatch from Washington giving what Is termed "an official report to the gov ernment on Sweden's exports and inI- ports" The report for which the au- thority is not named declares in brief that Sweden exported to Germany great quantities of materials for making am- intuition, iron ore. ferrosilicates, man. ganese, steel, copper, sulphur, zinc and wood pulp and imported Iron ore from America to replace the surplus ex- ported.
 Even newspapers most friendly to America join the chorus of indignant condemnation of these charges. The papers declare that America repeated ly protested to England against pre- cisely the same policy which America now threatens to adopt against SWo- den.
 The Associated Press received from an authoritative source the following statement:
 Tt IS no secret that we are export
 
 1t for more than 90 years. It Is our chief article of export. But we ex- port also to England and other coun- tries and the proportions of our ex- ports remain nearly the same as be- fore the war. We exported wood pulp to Germany. but also to America, France, Italy and other countries. We exported ferrosilicates to Germany and also to England and Russia.
 ''The statement that we are export ing sulphur and zinc to Germany is ridiculous error. We must import sulphur for our own use and Germany produces more zine than she uses.
 Another misstatement concerns our alleged imports of iron ore from Amer ica. We import no iron ore from there. Before the war we used to import a low grade of pig iron from England. These imports have dropped to a third of the normal and we have been im- porting from America to cover the deficit, but the entire imports are in- significant
 We export pig iron of a higher grade to both England and Germany. Our exports to England are still near ly normal.
 For our industrial life we must have dyes. coal and medicines from Germany and we have nothing to give III return put iron ore ana pup SiHC6 the embargo on all provisions. We get some coal from England at the risk of sailors lives and of their ships, but 1t is only a small per cent of what we require.
 "Germany brings us coal in her own ships without risk to us. We do not understand how America. which in- sisted on our letting her cotton through to Germany and protested So VI ar n Enpland against efforts to interfere with her trade, can take
