the light Il throws on the subsisting rcla-
tons between Sweden and Germany. II has
long been suspected that those relations were
unduy intimate, and the pre-existing sus-
piciong to that effect seem 20 have been sub
stantiatcd by the willingness OF the Swedish
Legation at Buenos Ayres to serve as the
German go-between."
1.-THE moral bankruptcy of the German
government, which must now be the most
complete in all recorded history, comes
cut anew in the dealings Of the German
Charge d'Affaires at Buenos Ayres, hap
PLY brought to light by our Secret Ser
vice." is the way "The Boston Herald"
puts it; but in reference to Sweden it
sees some mitigation, stating:
"Her position has been undeniably difficult.
She hates Russia; she fears Germany. The
latter has maintained ceaseless propaganda
in Sweden which has found expression in her
divided counsels. That she can find an alibi
of some sort is our earnest hope"
Also, "The Boston Journal" has good
word to say for Sweden, beginning its
editorial with these words: "Germany's
diplomatic sins are so many and the rec.
ord of Sweden is so clean that none will
be disposed at this stage of the inquiry
tn lay any of the guilt in the Buenos
Ayres scandal at Sweden's door," and
closing with this significant statement:
"The fendishness of German militarism was
never more completely exposed. This is the
cruel power that the world must strike down.
And Sweden may yet deliver her blow with
the rest"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-16

"That they are likely 70 experience great
shock is another story; but for the moment
the world cannot but laugh at the Kaiser
exposed in this intimate exchange Of mes
ssges between himself and the Car. Buy
ours, not our rivals that's the cry. Buy
my ships and well clean up Europe between
u.s. Was there ever such an egotist, or a
hinder one?'

comment Ringing on the Notorious
- "Spurlos Versenkt" Phrase

"That the German government should be
able to state upon its honor that they (the
Argentine ships) had not been sunk at all, y
is the answer of "The New York Times
to the question as to why the phrase srntrlos
verscnkt-sunk without trace-was used by
Count Luxburg; but German honor and
good faith is already a matter upon which
the case is made up" and "The Times"
continues:
"The illumination that was needed was or
the part Sweden is playing in the war, and
this, too, is fortunately lit up with blind
ing glare by the revelation Of what has been
going on in Buenos Ayres, with its inevitable
implication that similar things have been go
ing on in other capitals where Swedish and

don't mean it." Other papers like the
"New- Yorker Staats-Zeitung" employ the
power of suggestion to the limit without
taking an open stand against the United
States.

recalls the Zimmerman episode, and says
further:

Cweden Has Been Frankly Pro-
y German in Her Sympathies

The outstanding phrase Of the commu-
nications appears to be the cynical callous-
ness Of Luxburg's advice that the ships
should either be let through by Germany
because they were small, "or else sunk
without q trace being left
That Sweden has been frankly German
in her sympathies is apparent to any one
at all familiar with the trend Of events,
and to her Germany has turned for large
proportion Of much needed supplies. While
some Of this trade has been legitimate, 1t
s claimed that there is evidence OF many
l"ritimate and unneutral transactions.
Against Sweden, therefore, as much as
any other country, has the American en-
largo been directed; and the Argentlnlan
occurrence, in the opinion of many Amer
can editors, would supply an additional
Justification, if any were needed. A review
Of the causes for the Swedish attitude
shows several determ ing factors;
Since the time Of Charles XII Sweden
has regarded Russia as her hereditary en-
envy, and the seizure of Finland by Russia
has ranked as bitterly in Sweden as has
I the loss Of Alsace-Lorraine in France
Again, the pro-German influence OF the
Queen Of Sweden has been on all fours with
hat Of the former Queen of Greece; also,
The upper classes have been largely edu-
csted in Germany, and thus there has been
created an intellectual solidarity with the
ieHton, just as there'is an industrial soil
ca'ity among the mercantile and manu-
iaciuring classes of the two countries.

TO STOP SALE OF
 CIGARETTES IN COUNTY

Mrs Crutchfield ahd Mrs. King of Hope motored to Prescott yesterday afternoon, their object being to in- terview some of the W. C. T. U. work CTS in regard to the sale of cigarettes, and to show what the prosecuting at torney had to say about their sale in Hampstead county.
 We trust that he will use his official power in the whole district over which he has jurisdiction.
 His letter follows:
 To Editor Evening Herald;
 During the past few weeks l have been appealed to almost daily by the ladies of the City of Hope to enforce the law against the sale of cigarettes On yesterday a story appeared in the Evening Herald to the effect that a certain travelling salesman had boast ed that he sold forty thousand cigar cites a month in Hope. Practically every grand jury that has been in ses- sion in Hampstead county since came into office has endeavored to ascertain whether this cigarette law has been violated, but no evidence has yet been obtained. In answer to those persons who are urging me to take some ac- ton in this matter desire to say that every dealer in tobacco and cigars in the county will be asked to appear before the grand jury and tell wheth- CT the gentleman who boasts of sell ing 10000 cigarettes in Hope is not also amenable to the law.
 have no disposition to be unreas- enable with any man, but I intend to stop the sale of cigarettes, if pos sible. While l am dependent upon the fees of my office for support, yet am willing, for the protection of the youth of the county, to forego any prosecution for sale of cigarettes in the county if none are sold in the county after the first day of July. In other words, if any persons in Hemp stead county have violated this law, but will immediately discontinue the sale of or giving away of cigarettes or material, or keeping papers, or cigarettes on the premises, will re- commend to the next grand jury that mo bill be returned for offenses com mtted prior to July 1, 1917. Further, intend to have subpoenaes issued for the clerks of every tobacco or cigar dealer in the county. and for all others who I know to be habitual cigarette smokers and will urge the grand jury to indict every man who has sold cigarettes since the above date.

near the negro church in the north west part of the town. The sensation of the trial occurred when Annie, who was after another negro woman for "pesticatin' with her husband, un- | thoughtedly admitted that she would have killed the woman if things had worked out just right, and the mayor told her that this confession was a very delicate one to make in open court.
 When Prescott people leave town and go to Little Rock or TeXarkana and do their shopping for merchan- disc that can be brought right here in Prescott and at practically the same price, what is the first thing the merchant says? He thinks right a. way that the said person is knocker on his home town, which he is-but what about the business or profess ional man who expects everybody to do their trading here and every two or three months sends his orders for stationery and other printed matter, not only to Little Rock but clear out of the state where none of us will ever get chance to handle it again. We ask you business and professional men if this is justice to the papers who contribute more to the upbuild- ing of the community than any other one thing? If it is justice, the next time you want any free advertising go to Little Rock or Dallas or where ever your printing is done.
