One OF the steamers sunk was the

persons from her, including members
OF the crew, were rescued.

SWEDEN REJECTED
Mr.. WILSON'S COURSE
WILL NOT BREAK RELA-
TIONS WITH GERMANY.
Stockholm Government Saws
America is Going About
Things in Wrong Way.

Stockholm (via London), Feb. s.
The Swedish government rejects
President wilson's suggestion thar
other neutral countries join with the
United States in severing diplomatic
relations with Germany and declares
its intention to follow the strictest
neutrality as long as it is possible.
Sweden's reply was delivered to the
American minister today.
THE government of the United
States has chosen as means of ar
riving at the realization OF peace a
method absolutely contrary to the
principles which have guided the,
policy of the Swedish government up
to the present hour"
SO declares the Swedish note deliv-
cred to the American minister, Ira
Nelson Morris, in reply to President
Wilson's invitation to Sweden to join
with the United States. The text OF
the note follows:
THE policy followed by the royal
government during the war has been
one OF strictly impartial neutrality.
The royal government has done ev-
erything in its power faithfully to
fulfill all the duties which this poll
cy imposes upon II and at the same
time it has rendered effective as far
as possible the rights derived there
from.
with view to obtaining a prac-
teal result in apholding the prin.
ciples OF international law. the royal
government has several times ad-
dI essed itself to neutral powers ia
order to effect cooperation, with the
aforesaid object in view. Above all,
the royal government has not failed
to submit to the government OF the
United States proposal to this ef-
feet"
"The royal government has OBJ
rerved with great regret that the in
terests of the United States have not
permitted 1t to accept these propos-
ais. The steps thus taken by the roy
al government have led to the taking
OF common measures among Sweden,
Denmark and Norway with regard to
the two belligerent groups.
I'm the policy followed by the roy
al government in order to maintain
It's neutrality and safeguard the le-
gitimate rights of the country the
royal government, alive to the inde-
scribable sufrerings which from day
to day more cruelty oppress all hu-
manity 's Teady to seize every op.
which offers itself to con-
tribute to the realization of near
and durable peace.
Consequently. 1t fastened to as
