vast tabulation of suspicious characters
involved in munition and shipbuildiug

From coast to coast these aliens will
be weeded out and removed from points

The Mare island explosion sharpened
the precautionary steps of the govern

pied with individual volunteer detective
work by many of these employees has
aided in the great roundup, which be-
gan Wednesday night in New York.

by German and Austrian agents for pre-
cipitating unrest in munitions plants

without equipment to carry, found it
hard to make progress over these shell
pitted morasses, which sometimes drag

SWEDEN FEARS ATTEMPTS
TO FORCE HER INTO WAR

Stockholm, Oct. 13.-Statements from
Washington alleging the existence of a
secret agreement under which Sweden
is alleged to export iron ore to Ger
many caused surprise here, but the AS
ISOLATED Press was informed today that
no such agreement exists.
The Graengesberg company, which
controls virtually the whole Swedish
iron and steel trade, has an agreement
with the Swedish government specify
ing the amount of ore the company is
permitted to export.
Sweden is dependent upon Germany
for coal and potash and many other
necessities for the country's trade,
many Of which are unobtainable else
where. But quite apart from these rea-
sons. Swedes of all parties are united
and resoiute in opposing any attempt
to force them to break trade relations
with any country, or what many fear
is that it is intended for the purpose
of compelling Sweden to abandon neu-
trality. This feeling is constantly
voiced In public and in the press.
