SWEDEN ASKS DETAILS
ON SINKING OF VESSEL
CARGO OF SaITPETER GREATLY
NEEDED AT PRESENT,
SAYS PAPER.

stockholm, FEB. 20 tvia London
The Swedish Government has ask
ed Berlin for particulars OF the sink
ing of the Swedish motor ship Hugo
Hamilton. which became known here
on Sunday through an official report
from Berlin. The vessel. which was
bought from her Norwegian owners
and was making her first trip under
the Swedish flag, was bringing 1000
tons of Chile saltpeter from valpa-
raise and was consigned TO the Swed-
ish Farmers Association. Her arriy-
al was eagerly awaited because the
stock of saltpeter in Sweden is vir-
tually exhausted and there is gem
eral scarcity of fertilizer.
The Hugo Hamilton carried crew
of more than thirty land had on board
the two young sons of the captain.
Whether the vessel was warned is
not known, nor is there any infOrma
ton here as to whether any lives
were lost. The vessel was insured
by the Government War Risk Com
mission for 100000 crowns.
The Dageladt. in commenting on
the loss of the Hugo Hamilton, says:
THE fact that the vessel was COM
ing home from Chile renders II prob
able that those aboard had no knowl-
edge OF the German proclamation OF
the new sea war zone. The vessel
was ON her way between two neutral
harbors with a cargo necessary to
Swedish farmers. That il neverthe-
less became the innocent victim of
the new German submarine warfare
must excite indignation and resent
ment here. The Illegally of the
sinking is evident.
Swedish sense of justice cannot
let itself be satisfied with the declar-
alton that the vessel. coming from q
remote port, was inside the war zone
and hence must take its chances re-
gardless of whether the captain had
knowledge of the new dangers. Nor
can an eventual money indemnity
make the damage good. since at the
present time. Il was precisely salt
peter, and not money. that the Swed I.
ish farmers needed"
The Swedish Government also has
protested against the sinking of the
Swedish steamship Varlng. of 2.296
tons, which was reported destroyed
on February 8. wt,F

Kentucky Soldiers Receive News
With Evident DeIight-Will Go
To TT. Thomas.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Coincident
with re-opening the American en-
bassy in Mexico the big army of ma
tional guardsmen which has been
concentrated on the border for sew
eral months will be in process Of
dissolution. Orders were issued BY
the war department today directing
General Funston to begin the I'M
mediate rehabilitation of all guard
units remaining in the border camps.
It is expected the last troop train
will be on its way north by March Z.
General Funston will still have
on the border nearly $4,000 men,a
from the regular army when the
guardsmen are gone.
Secretary Baker emphasized the
withdrawal of the guardsmen was in
no way connected with the crisis with
Germany. but carries out a policy de-
termined upon long ago. The order
was issued after Gen. Funston had
reported that with the new disposi-
ton of the regulars under his COM
mand he felt he had enough men
to meet any exigencies that might
arise.
: 1t Is also desired to embarrass the
Carranza government as little ~
possible as the maintenance Of .
large army at the border has been
a constant source Of complaint from
] the Mexicans.
This will mean that all the re-
naming companies of the First and
Third Kentucky regiments will soon
be on their way home. Company A.
of the First and Company d. Of the
Third, arrived some time ago In re-
Spouse to the request of Gov. Stan
ley, and the entire Second regiment
was mustered out last week at Fort
Thomas.
Great Rejoicing.
There were great rejoicings In
the Kentucky camp tonight when tho
news was received that all Of the
national guardsmen are to be sent
home as fast as necessary railroad
equipment can be concentrated ON
the border. All the Kentucky
troops have their records in ex-
cellent shape and there will be no
delay on that account.
Third Among First.
San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 19.--At
the rate of approximately 5000
men weekly, $4,000 national guards
men still on the border will be re-
turned to their home stations and
mustered out.
Among the first units which will
entrain for home willsbe the Ken
lucky troops. The Third infantry

SENATOR HARDWICK TO

Washington, d. C., Aug. 1.-Sen-

iii his attacks on the army draft law
and will try to force another vote in
Congress on this issue. He has pre-
pared Tor introduction tomorrow a
resolution providing that no person
heretofore or hereafter drafted into
the military service shall be ordered
by the in-chief beyond
the limits OF the United States or its
possessions, unless and until such
drafted man shall have voluntarily
enlisted in writing for such foreign
service.
The passage OF the Hardwick bill
would divest the President of the
power and authority to send any OF
the new national army or National
Guard to the battle front in France
unless the individuals who compose
it respectively volunteer for such serv-
ice in writing.
The bill rests on Article /, Sec
ton 8, clause IA, OF the federal con-
stitution," said Senator Hardwick.

gress authority to regulate the uses
of the land and naval forces of the
nation. My bill simply proposes to
