SCANDINAVIA AND THE WAR

The news published yesterday, to
the effect that a Norwegian vessel at
"a Pacific port" had been seized by
the United States government because
of refusal to clear for ports in the war
zone brings to mind the fact that the
attitude of the governments of the
Scandinavian countries toward the
belligerent nations has been one of
the surprising features of the war.
Sweden particularly, in deadly fear of
the Russian bear, early showed it's
prediction for the TeutOnic cause,
and it is regrettable that Swedish
people in this country have in many
cases been more pro-German than the
Germans themselves.
Scandinavian interests and tradi-
tons would have seemed to dictate
that Sweden, Norway and Denmark
should have been aligned with the en-
tente allies, at least in spirit AS
maritime nations, their material in
terests were more closely linked with
those of Great Britain and the United
States than with the German empire.
And the fact that the Scandinavian
peoples are essentially democratic in
their instincts would seem to be an
additional reason for sympathetic re-
lations with the armed forces of dem
ocacy.
Norway and Denmark, it is true,
have been inclined to favor the al
lied cause, but a mere hint from Ber-
lin has on occasion been more than
sufficient to bring them up with a
sharp turn. And one of the mex
phcable things in connection with the
war has been that some Danes in this
country should have warmly espoused
the cause of the Teutonic despoilers
OF their native land
Now that the fear of Russian ag-
erosion in Scandinavia has been en-
tirely removed, it would be natural to
suppose that the eyes of the people OF
northern Europe would turn to the en-
tente as their true friends. But this
has not been apparent, In fact, some
of the most difficult problems that
have had to be met by our own gov
eminent have been with regard to the
Scandinavian countries.
But there promises to be change
in sentiment, if not in policy, of the
Scandinavian peoples. A special dis
patch to the New York Times from
Amsterdam discloses the existence of
a well-defined plan on the part of
Germany, in the event of victory in
the present war, to absorb not only
Denmark, but the Scandinavian pen
insuia as we'll, and to make of the
Baltic, as their publicists have de-
olared, "a German lake" Whether
there be any truth in the report or
not, the rape of the Baltic provinces
from Russia in the recent peace ne

GENERAL WOODS IDEA

MAJOR General Leonard Wood, who
has been somewhat obscured from the
public view for more than year past
because of a difference between him
self and his superiors in the war de
partment, has come out into the full
glare of the limelight with a sugges-
ton that the American fighting forces
in France be increased to four or five
million men. General Wood recently
returned from the western battle
front, and it may be presumed that
his recommendation is made with
clear understanding of the situation in
France.
General Woods qualifications as a
military leader and organizer must
be conceded by even his critics. His
many years Of experience in active
military life and his achievements
both on the field and as an admins
traitor in Cuba and the Philippines es-
pecially qualify him to speak on mill
tary matters. And his voice will be
listened to when the words of a Roose-
welt would fall on deaf ears.
There has recently grown up a cavil
in this country criticizing the admin
istration for sending a substantial
force to France at this time and for
taking hundreds of thousands of young
men from productive industry andI
placing them in training camps. The
Review of Reviews, for instance, has
filled many pages with arguments
tending to point out the folly of such
a course, and, it may be said, with
much logic and sound argument
1t is claimed that the greatest need
in the war against the central powers
is supplies and the ships to transport
them. Had the men now training in |
the environments and those who have
been transported overseas been kept
at their regular avocations of pro-
ducing the necessaries of life, it is |
and all who could have been
crowded into the shipyards put to .
work at providing the needed tonnage, |
the United States would be engaged |
in a more useful work and do more
toward winning the war than by train
ing millions of young men to fight |
while the means of supplying them !
with munitions and provisions were
not yet available.
1t is pointed out, however, by Secre-
tary Baker that the sending of Amer.
lean forces to France was at the earn
est solicitation of the French military
mission to this country, which in
Guided General Joffre, the hero of the |
Marine. The determination to increase
the forces there also was with the full
of the allied governments |
The moral effect of the presence of
American troops on the battle line
has been incalculable, and has more
than justified their use on the front. !
To increase their number there as
fast as practicable seems to be the
aim of the administration, and to this
end ships are being built as fast as
labor can be procured.
General Woods idea will meet with
ready response throughout the coun.
try, and in the councils of the ad.
ministration, without doubt But the
country must be awakened to the fact
that until shipping Is produced at a
faster rate than has yet been appar-
ent it will be impossible to follow the
wise suggestions of the brilliant army
officer with practical results.
