GREAT INTEREST
IN STOCKHOLM

Stockholm Sept. 1.-THE public
showed great interest in the state
ment Of the foreign office regarding
the Swedish Argentine revelations.
The statement was made public and
was eagerly awaited by the populace.
During the day no officials of the for
eign Office were available for express
sions of opinion on the situation. The
cabinet was in session from 2 o'clock
in the afternoon until 5 o'clock, after
which the foreign Office communica
ton was made public.
1t is the general impression even
among the strong opposed political
parties. that Sweden acted in good
faith in the matter of the German
kilograms but public opinion, never
theless. is stirred by the fact that
code kilograms of German origin were
permitted to be forwarded without
giving the Swedish officials the key
to the code so that they might control
the contents of the dispatch.
The incident is expected to place
the late cabinet in an unfavorable
light and also to have a great bear
ing on the general elections now in
progress. These elections the conser-
vatives already have lost seven seats
and the Socialist and Liberals are
gaining steadily.

YOUNG GIRL CHARGED
WITH CHILD MURDER

kennebunk, Me, Sept. 11.-Lulu Wyatt
q years old. of Haverhill, Mass, was ar
raigned in police court at Kennebunk
charged with the murder of her baby.
The girl made pathetic appeal for
mercy. Tearfully she related her story
to police officials. The father of the child
disappeared, she said, and afterward she
came to Kenhebunk to find employment
In summer hotel. Because she was
compelled to earn her own living she
feared the responsibility of the child, she
added.
The body Of the little one was found on
Gooch Beach by party of bathers. The
police made a hurried investigation, re-
sulting in the arrest Of the young woman
in the servants quarters at the Forest
Hills Hotel. At first the girl insisted that
she hill the body in her room for two
days. but later admitted that she had
carried it to the beach late Tuesday
night
1t is not considered probable that the
girl will be tried on a charge of first de-
gree murder. The police are expected to
substitute charge of manslaughter.

ANTI-SWEDISH

Students Take Part in Demonstration
Secretary Lansing Makes Clear
Swedish Government Not People Are
Involved

Washington, Sept. u.-Careful distinc-
ton again was made by Secretary Lam
sing Today between the government of
Sweden and the people Of that country.
Il Jbserve," said he, that some pa
pers still publish the view that we are
going to punish the Swedish nation Ior
the acts of some of its officials. There is
no such intention We have the friendli-
est feeling for the Swedish people"
1t is said the conference with the Ar
gentina representative had for at least
one Of it's detectives the suggestion to
him that United States secret service has
delivered to the state department addi-
tional evidence of the manner in which
Germany played with the Argentine gov
ernment prior to and even at the time
she gained what her papers styled at the
time as great diplomatic victory over
Germany. An agent of the secret service
was called into the conference.

a United States senator from a west
ern state. Contents Of the letters were

Say Negro Soldiers Planned
Bloody Riots in Houston

going to shoot up Houston. that they
had planned to do so on the preced-
ing Tuesday night, but could not get
quite ready.
This testimony and the evidence of nu-
r1erous other circumstances convince US
(and our opinion is shared by Inspector
General John L. Chamberlain of the Unit
ed States army, who SO expressed himself
to us) that the prior conflicts with the
police were mere incidents of the riot;
that the riot was unquestionably con-
ceived prior to that date: that it prob
ably would have occurred. though pos
sibly not so severe, had the altercation
between police officers and the Negro
sergeant, Baltimore, not taken place"
The report declares that shortly after
the arrival of the Negro troops In Hous-
ton there was manifested by at least some
of them a feeling of hostility and def
ance of the state law requiring the sepa-
ration OF white and Negro races in the
street cars; that when on leave Of alb
sence from the camp the soldiers usually
frequented those sections of Houston and
those establishments where the lewd and
lawless element of the Negro population
are to be found; that the Negro soldiers
while on guard duty at Camp Logan were
arrogant and insulting toward the white
laborers. seizng the most trivial circum-
stances as an excuse to curse and abuse
them: that the discipline existing at the
camp was grossly lax in moral condi-
tions. lewd Negro women. some mere
children 10 years of age, being permit

were permitted to bring parcels into the

Mr.. Endicott urges the use of corn

that the plan become operative Sept.

ut is only fair to state" he added.
that II is my belief that this elimina
tion must continue until the end Of the
war We need wheat not only for our
own armies abroad, but for the armies
OF our allies.
We realize that it may be neces-
sar: in tho preparation of some of
these wheat bread substitutes to use

when littles Miss Naomi Powers, a
