MUST PROTECT OURSELVES.

sweden continues to cling to the idea that it has a right to trade with Germany, that it has a right to i'm port goods from this country for the purpose of maintaining that trade with Germany and that this country Is departing from its previous atti- tude concerning neutral trade in talk ing the stand which it has relative to placing an embargo upon it's ex- ports.
 Tn regard to the matter Of trade with Germany there can be nc ques- tion but what Sweden has a perfect right to buy German goods and to sell Germany whenever it gets chance Sweden is a neutral nation and as such there can be no legiti- mate interference with that trade ex- cept that the allies can prevent it rom entering Germany through blockade
 When it comes to buying goods from the United States it must be realized that this country is now in a state of war with Germany and it is therefore not going to allow any of it's supplies to reach the enemy if it can prevent it. Sweden as a neutral can buy here for it's own needs but it cannot buy here for the purpose of sending such goods, or their. equiva- lent. to Germany. Whatever trade Sweden or any neutral engages in with Germany must be dene in goods

OUR DEBT TO FRANCE.
By Caroline Ticknor of The visIantss


 What is our debt to Francee
 Let us glance back to those dark days of IT'S, that tried mems souls. Some think the Declaration of Inde- pendence established our independ- ence, forgetting the years which fol- even Washington despair.
 Prior to the Declaration, France had sent oyer million dollars to aid us, and in October, IT'S, our three to plead for us. Benjamin Franklins s negotiations soon brought forth fruit and it was agreed that France should furnish us two million livres year: stores were dispatched to assist us.
 Then, though the government of France was not prepared to send us troops. volunteers were not wanting, who cast their lot in with the cause of liberty.

He urged the immediate send ing of 12.eeo troops. and of the ne- cessary fleet. and in April, 17se, he returned to America. announcing the success of his mission.
 This good news came in times of deepest gieoil when even the valiant spirit of Nrashingten was almost van auished. The army was freezing, starving and without money or clothes. The soldiers. without shoes, left bloody footprints behind them they marched. The finances were in a mest deplorable condition and pa Fer eurrancy was truly mot worth

THE. WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society.

"The island of Runo, which. accord ing to reports enaanating from Der lin, has been bombed by German air planes, is fragment of land less than ten miles in area, set in the mid dle of the Bay of Riga, to the south east, and an equal distance from Windau which lies to the southwest, says war geography bulletin issued today by the National Geogra phic ociety from it's Washington headquar- ters.
 "Runo was not naval or military base before the outbreak of the pres three and a half miles long and scarce ly more than two miles wide. rising at its extreme elevation to a height of 90 feet above the sea. On one end is a tiny forest of coniferous trees; the other end is bare and rakiy. The village, which boasts of a popula- ton of 300 pure -blooded Swedes. nes- ties in the middle of the island, with the little wooded church of Mary ago. as the center of interest
 During the month of June in peace times an occasional excursion steam CT visits the island of Runo. but at other seasons of the year the tourist in search of such out-of-the- way cor ners of the earth has to rely upon sail boat to reach this spot the trip from Riga taking about 12 hours. And guide books caution the visitor to carry his own provisions. including coffee. tea, and sugar for he will find no hotel or inn accommodations on the island, although he may secure a. nights shelter in the house of the pastor of the village church.
 The Swedes of the island eke out a simple subsistence by sealing and fishing, but their catches are so re- stricted that they have forbidden strangers to share in the fisheries

 MT Editor: As to aliens and the draft, the alien owes allegiance either to this country, if he intends to become a citizen of the United States, or to his original country. In the first ca SC his military service is due here; in the second, it is due there and he and his registration data should be turned over in case he belongs to the allies, as part of the contribution to the general cause. It would appear to make no difference in the result, or the other, as long as he is in the fghI for the same end: and it ought not to be difficult for the United States and the other allies to come to an agreement and settle the mat ter before the present drafted men enter actual service in the war. It is absurd that aliens should be exempt thus have the business and social privileges of the native, while exempt from equal duties; for personal duties performed are the only just basis of personal rights and privileges. It would be very unjust to native citi- zens to make aliens privileged char acters compared to themselves.
 Secondly the American aim in en- tering the war is peace without an our business to sacrifice layishly Of the flower of our young men. and of our wealth to gratify the ambition of France to acquire Alsace- Lorraine: ra cially and historically more Ger man than French. The most which we might be expected to do is to ob- tain it's independence of choice.

which it produces iEseH and not those which it obtains from allied nations.
 When Sweden declares that this
 country is taking a different stand than it did when 1t was a neutral it must be realized that it does not say Sweden cannot trade with Germany. But it does say that inasnauch as we are now among the helligerents Swe-' den cannot depend upon this country to furnish the goods for the trade with the enemy because it is realized that Germany has been depending up on the receipt of just such supplies for a long time and it has gotten to a point where it has got to be shut off. Sweden cannot expect that we are going to continue to pour goods into that country for the sake of fur nishing it with material for carrying on a profitable trade with Germany.

 The island occupies a position of strategic importance with respect to

 "St. Raphael is one of the numerous ettraetive watering places strung like beads upon the railway which skirts the Mediterranean short from May seilles to Genoa Twenty miles to tke northeast is Cannes. and twenty miles still further on is Nice.
