HARDWICK LOSES FIGHT TO
KEEP DRAFT MEN AT HOME
Senator Scored by Committee for
Raising Question During Time
of National Peril.

WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-De-
nouncing the introduction of such a
proposition the senate today reported
adversely Senator Hardwick's resolu-
ton which would provide that the
consent Of every drafted man must be
obtained before he is required to per-
form foreign service. The committee.
the report says, believes the draft
law is constitutional and that every
man drafted into the national army
can be used abroad.
"The situation arising out of this
spirit OF opposition to the selective
draft act is serious" says the report.
"and taken in connection with tho
unrest amongst the civilian popula-
ton growing out of commercial and
industrial conditions, stimulated in
some cases doubtless by pro-German
sympathizers and propagandists,
places our country in situation Of
extreme peril at a time when all
should be united in a common cause"

SWEDEN FEELS DIPLOMATIC
HUMILIATION VERY KEENLI \
Newspapers Insist Neutral Authorities
Were Ignorant of Gcrmany's
Trickcry

STOCKHOLM. Sept. 12.-All the
newspapers print long editorials on
the situation arising from the tele-
grams sent by the German legation
thru the Swedish legation at Buenos
Aires. The Dagbladt says:
I'VE deeply lament the fact that our
neutrality seems to have been in
fringed by Germany thru misuse Of
our facilities. The lack OF caution
displayed by our foreign office casts
doubts upon our impartiality which.
tho they are perfectly justified. must
damage and humiliate us. one cannot,
however, help feeling that the manner
in which the charge has been made
points more in the direction of seek
ing 10 Influence the people in the cleo
tions than to any desire to state the
matter for fair consideration. And
one wonders whether there Is any
connection between this and Lord
Robert Cecil's interview prophesying
that the whole OF Europe would arm
against Germany"
The Liberal Dagfs Nyheler and the
Tidninger both assert that they are
certain that Swedish authorities knew
nothing OF the manner in which the
Swedes were being used in ruthless
and senseleSs war methods The Da-
gene Nyheler adds that public opinion
IN the United states and Great Britain
is ready to believe the worst about
Gcrmany's one remaining friend
among the neutrals

Several months ago the city com
missioners passed an ordinance which
prohibited the parking Of vehicles on
several OF the main streets for per
