ARMY OFFICER JOBS
DO NOT ATTRACT SWEDES

Stockholm. Sweden. June 27.-The new
Year Book for the Swedish army shows
that the career Of army officer is becom-
ing steadily less attractive. The number
of designations has increased, and the
number OF officer-aspirants has de-
creased, the change being particularly
noticeable during the war-years. In 1914
there were still nine supernumerary Of
ficers on the rolls. There Is now a deficit
Of liz. of which 80 untitled commissions
are in the infantry and 80 In the cavalry.
Several reasons for the decreasing at
Effectiveness of the officers career are
given by military critics. One is economic
the cost of living having Increased 30
much more rapidly than the pay of Of
ficers that they are compelled to seek
more lucrative professions. The anti.
militaristic agitation Of the last few years
also Is credited with a part OF the re.
sponsibility for the change. Other factors
combine also to bring about a situation
which is causing uneasiness in conserva,
tive circles.

ARMY RECRUITING
STILL VERY SLOW

Washington, June 27.-Regular army
recruiting continues to lag in spite of
President Wilson's call for war volun-
teers, and with recruiting week more

are needed. Only 400 additions were
reported yesterday, the best showing

quota.

New York and possibly other States
was submitted to the war department
to-day by Captain George Carr Henry,
director of New York's military census.

States men between 21 and 81 shows
that $500 Of the number expressed a
desire to enlist. giving preference as
follows. Army, 1923; navy. 1870: ma
rines. 1913; national guard 1888, and

and addresses of all those expressing
the desire will be forwarded to the re-

AMERICAN FARMERS
BIG PART IN WAR
U. S. Food May Be Necessary to
Win Victory, Says English
Cabinet Minister.

London. June 27.-"Discontent of the
stomach is more to be feared than dis
content Of the brain-that is why we
value the cooperation Of American farm
ers." said r. f. Prothero, minister Of
agriculture, to the Associated Press to-
day. 1.-The outcome of the war;" said
Mr.. Prothero. may ultimately hang on
the question of food supplies. and to the
American farmer is allotted the essential
part to play in the great struggle for
fredoom."
This declaration. with note of well
come to agriculturists across the sea,
who are determined to use every ounce
of their strength to win the war on the
plough lands of the United States" was
the keynote of the minister's message
to the American farmer. Discussing the
moral and material affect on agriculture
by the entrance of the United States into
the war. Mr.. Prothero continued:
ITO vindicate the cause of humanity
and national liberty the great democracy
Of the western world. true to it's tradi-
lions, has taken its stand on the side of
allied peoples. In clear-cut, memorable
phrases. President Wilson stated the
in joining the allied cause. The Presi-
dent in his address. April Is. puts to the
forefront an appeal to the farmer. His
task Is to make hills. plains and valleys
stand thick with corn. The man who
drives plough is helping as is the man
who shoulders rifle. The need of food
for man and beast Is great whether peace
is won or war prolonged"
Reply to question as to what the
United Kingdom Is doing in the way OF
food production Mr.. Prothero said that

Strange Man Wanted to Spend

man Prevented.

Waterbury, June 2.-What was Il
| deliberate attempt to set fire to the
Elliott mill in North Duxbury was foiled
late last night. The mill has ut different
times made boxes for blankets and shells
for guns for the allies, but at present
| was not using the boxes for that pur-
pose. Frank Elliott Is understood to
have offered a reward for the capture
| Of the would-be incendiares.
About 10:30 o'clock the night Waterman,

| and turning saw II man about FIVE feet
away. The man informed him that he
should stay in the building over night
and Mr. Davis replied that that was not
allowed under any circumstances. Mr..
Davis dog and the sight Of the firearms
which ne carried seemed to take away a
little of the mans interest In the
occupancy OF the premises. but as he re-
| treated toward the track he mumbled
something to the effect Of regretting this
as he should fire the thing before morn
ing.
| Just outside the mill, so close to the
mill as to be loaded in and out Of the mill
| were two boX-cars, one loaded with baled
shavings ready to ship out. the other
with dry spruce boards just shipped in

| of the mill about 1880 he discovered the
car of boards on fire. Rushing across
the road he called under the window
| and awakened Harold Lewis, who in turn
called his father and as Frank Lewis
went toward the mill he discovered the
car of shavings also afire.
| Mrs. Lewis summoned help through
the telephone and 1t was not long before
rs men were on the scene. The fire was
nearly extinguished before the men from
Durkeyville arrived, and the mill was
protected by water and fire extinguishers
The mill was set on fire April IA, and
before that the night Waterman feels
almost certain that he frightened some
parties away one night. Since then there
has been a guard at the bridge near the
mill, until about two weeks ago.
Mr.. Davis looked closely at the man and
feels sure that he can identify him

NEUTRALITY BURDENSOME
TO SWISS NEWSPAPERS
Journals In Three Languages Are
Printed Daily.

Berne, Switzerland. June 27-It is doubt
ful whether any country In or out of the
war. whether under the iron hand of the
censor or not. and whether pro-ally or
pro-German In It's sympathies, has as
peculiar and comglomerate a problem as
Switzerland with its newspapers In three
languages.
A strong under-current of patriotism, a
thorough-go conviction that. whatever
the rights and wrongs of the war may be
or where they may lie. the duty of the
Swiss newspapers is first and foremost
to Switzerland has, thus far, tended to
restrain them from dividing irretrievably
into two camps. This has been especially
true Of the older and more conservative
papers. both those printed in German and
those in French. But the upcropping of
Germanophile or Francophile journals.
many Of them war mushrooms has been
strain not only on Swiss neutrality but
on the inner peace and good temper of the
country.
The Swiss press can be divided roughly
into four groups. The first consists of the
old-time. conservative papers, both
French and German. which have striven
desperately TO be neutral The second
class embraces many of the Francophile
papers published In western Switzerland.
They are frankly anti-German, and cam
paign against the enemies of France.
The third class includes the Germano-
phile papers, many In number though
small In influence. which Guido even the
Pan-German papers of Germany In their
bitterness. especially against America.
and which operate along the well-known
German psychological lines when trying
to influence public opinion. That is to
say. they metaphorically produce the
effect Of a bull In a China shop when at
tempting to plead the German cause.
chiefly because they try to jam pro-
German arguments and the justice of the
German cause down their readers
threats.
The fourth class comprises the socialist
papers of Switzerland. which are violently
anti-German. anti-Swiss, anti-French
and, In general. anti-everything.
