PLOT SUFFICIENT CAUSE
FOR DECLARATION OF WAR,
IS VIEW IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Sept. 10,-Sweden's ac-
tion In transmitting German cipher
messages through her Foreign Office
Is sufficient cause for a declaration OF
war by England. under international
law, It was stated here to-day. The
acts of her Ministers are binding upon
the nation.
II is declared, however, that the dis
position OF England is not TO enforce
British rights to this degree.
Possibilities OF all Scandinavia be-
coming involved In the war were seen
in London to-day.
The action of the Allied govern
ments in refusing to permit Socialists
and labor delegates to attend the
stockholm peace conference Is now
regarded as completely vindicated.
Commenting on the disclosures, the
Manchester Guardian assumed that
the Swedish Foreign Omco knew the
contents Of the cipher messages.
but even II it did not" continues
the Guardian, its responsibility ia
not less great. II gave u blank
check, which could be, and was, IN
fact. used by one belligerent against
other belligerents and neutrals."
The Guardian assumes that tho
Swedish people knew nothing OF these
transactions and viii hasten tRs
necessary measures To clePr them
selves OF the stain their Government
has put on Swoden's good name.

nit II was about 8 o'clock when the

cigarettes were beside the clock, and
as he took one he noted the time. 1t
was s o'clock. A few minutes later
when the farmer had resumed his seat
on the porch he heard tho shot that
ended Mrs. Kings life. Dry says II

w e D E NJ ASSISTED kAlSEF
SINCE EARLY IN THE WAR.

1t is notorious that since the early
stages of the war Sweden has been
assisting Germany in every possible
manner. Before Count BernstorH
was dismissed one Of his principal
advisers was Minister Ekengren.
Since the United States entered the
war Mr.. Ekengren has never been
out Of sight OF a Secret Service man.
Despite the fact that he Is supposed to
be living up TO the best standards Of
diplomacy, this Government has
taken no chances with him.
1t Is understood that virtually all
Swedish Ministers In the Americas
are being watched In the same man
ner, because they are generally sup
posed, on instruction from their For
eign Office, "to look out for Germany's
interests" in an unofficial manner.
The Washington Government has
no particular interest In the attitude
Argentina may assume toward Swe-
den, but IL would be pratified IL she
resented the German insults and
broke off relations without delay.

Prospects for crop from the re-
naming 45 per cent OF the last fall

The report does not give the busheI

nearly 5l,0OO,000 bushels less than

bushels short OF 1914. Increased acre
age for corn and oats is shown.
This failure Is attributed to several
causes, the most important of which
are the extremely dry weather which
prevailed thruout tho winter ana the
blowing of the soil by the wind. other
causes mentioned are freezing and
late planting
oats Increase.
OF oats there are estimated TO be
