New York WORLDLY
STOCKHOLM, June 1 (via London,
June 2)-Public opinion here grows
more irritable over the continued and
increasing loss Of Swedish ships. par
ticularly in the Baltic. This smolder-
ing anger is displayed despite the
Swedes' racial prediction for Germans.
The Swedes received shook yester-
day from q new demonstration OF Ger
man "tactlessness' toward neutral.
The German hydroplanes, flying over
Swedish territorial waters, near Land
skrona. attacked q celebrated Swedish
aviator, DR.. Thulin. In their hight the
Germans surprised ana aItacked Dr.
Swedish flyers. When he discovered
his error he beat q hasty retreat to
the shore. His aeroplane was not
armed.
swedes who Witnessed the skirmish
confirmed the statement that the Ger
man hydroplanes were over Swedish
territorial waters. The incident has
made a painful impression In political
circles and on the thinking part OF the
public, particularly as y comes Just
onicial German Qualification for sinking
Swedish ships.
The impression grows that German
genius for making enemies is fast de-
stroying her ability to win friendship
and good will. Sweden Is one OF the
last Of the benevolent neutrals- The
comment in the Swedish press. while

presses resentment against Germany

u. S. Fighting Dollar War;
Writes German Professor
Dr.. Eugene Kuhneeann, Recently in This Country, Says
Nation Is Protecting Loans to Entente
Foresees Stronger America

President Wilson's justification for
entering the war did not cover the real
reasons. DR.. Kuhnemann insists. There
are many good Americans, he says, who
honestly believe that the German au-
tocratic milftarism must be destroyed
for the good of the world. But the
wiser men In America look below the
surface. To them this war is only a
byplay of a gigantic financial trans
action. America wishes to help the en-
lose the colossal capital which she has
invested in its cause.
The Germans. he asserts, are fully
justified in looking upon Americas
entrance into the world war as q con-
afssiOat hyssthe sallies that xhey ara rat
the end OF theirywits, Ard power. II
{ Prof. Kuhnemann thinks that aApther
reason why Amerfca entered the war
was that she wished England as an
ally
Whatever may happen, the professor
adds, America will emerge from this
war much stronger power than be-
fore. America Is now creating for
herself q real and imposing army, q
strong navy and a large merchant
fleet. which in peace time, owing to
peculiar home politics and protests by
Japan and England, would have been
impossible or at least extremely diff
f1cult.
Thus the world again witnesses the
fact that what other powers achieve
only with the greatest difficulty and
enormous sacrifices comes to America
over night.

j. 5. MAY INSURE ITS
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
Council of National Defense Takes
Up Project of Free $4,000 Poll
cies for Fighting Men.

Plans for issuing $4,000 free govern
ment insurance on the life OF every
American soldier and sailor during the
war in lieu Of pension arrangements
will be taken up this week by the
council Of national defense. A report
prepared by Assistant Secretary Sweet
be submitted. urges that the insurance
be provided through legislation before
American troops are sent to France.
The defense council took up the ques-
tion some weeks ago and turned the
whole subject over to the Department
Of Commerce for investigation. The
report now ready offers a long list OF
arguments showing the advantage of
working out a compensation system be-
fore American lives are lost in the war.
Provided Without Premiums.
The plans as prepared provide for a
fiat insurance Of $4,000 on the life of
every officer and private in the military
and naval service, to be paid to his
beneflciaries without premiums. A gov
ernment insurance bureau would han
die the whole subject, and there would
be provision for q system OF insurance
Dy WHICH OuCoEo anu men u6SlTlnk TO
do SO could take out amounts higher
than the $4,000 free policy by paying
premiums at peace rates.
Insurance companies. 1t Is said, are
ready to approve the scheme ii assured
the government will not continue in
the insurance business after the war
War hazards are so great that few
companies are anxious to insure SOL
diers and sailors except at high premi-
ums. officials have been told. although
many companies which have on their
lists men now in the military and
naval services have not advanced their
premium rates.
Companies to Get Business.
At the end of the war the govern
ment. 1t Is suggested. could turn over
to insurance companies its premium
war business. dropping the nat $4,000
policies on all who leave the service.
but continuing 1t on men who remain
In the army and navy.
One argument advanced for the in
surance plan Is that 1t would improve
the morale Of the troops, since many
would go into battle much more will
ingly II assured their dependents would
bo cared for IL they were killed. The
plan would provide also insurance for
partial or total disability.
Mr.. Sweet will Aee heads Of insurance
companies in New York within the next
few days to discuss the pians.
