a STRAW FROM SWEDEN

Sweden's willingness to ratify a
trade treaty with the United States
and the entente allies is direct re-
suit of the state of affairs military.
The treaty was signed by repre-
sentatives of the United States,
Great Britain and France on May
30. AS negotiations had been in
progress for year. the only ques-
ton remaining was whether Sweden
would or would not sign.
On May 10Th the French armies
We're being driven back to the Marine
river. For two months affairs had
looked black for the allies, and it
tated to commit herself to a policy
which. while justified by the coun-
try's neutrality, was certain to stir
intense resentment in Germany.
Sweden could not afford to an
tagonize Germany, while there was
any chance of the kaiser winning
the war. But with Germany facing
certain defeat. the Swedish govern
ment has more to gain by pro-
pitiating the allies than by pursuing
a course which will strengthen the
German army at the expense of al
lied good will
There is no question of violation
of neutrality in following either
course. Sweden has right to send
food products and iron to Germany.
1t is purely a question of policy.
The allies likewise have the right
to withhold food shipments to
Sweden unless the latter country
will guarantee that neither these
shipments nor their equivalent will
reach Germany. Ii Sweden buys
food of the allies, something
must be obtained ir exchange, and
Sweden happens to be an exporter
Of iron. Therefore it follows nat
urally that food importations from
the allied nations mean iron ex-
portations to the entente, and the
effect will be to reduce Swedish
trade with Germany to the minium.
This agreement may not prove of
great Importance in its effect on the
course of war. but it is evidence be-
yond challenge that the neutral
world is looking forward to the
downfall of Germany.
The allies know Germany is going
to be beaten; the neutrals know il.
How long can Germany remain in
ignorance of the outcome?

"GLAss" IN BREAD.

When the use Of wheat substitutes
in bakers bread became general con-
siderable agitation was aroused by
reports that consumers were finding
ground glass in bread From time
to time such reports are likely to
persist owing to the fact that the
same conditions will probably con-
tinue. In view of this it is of con-
siderable interest to review the bull
letin published by the Indiana State
vision of DR.. II. e. Barnard explain
ing just why these erroneous reports
were circulated. This bulletin says
that almost without exception au-
thorities have been unable to verify
the rumors of glass in bread, and in
endeavoring to explain this exhaus-
tive Investigations and experiments
were made. The bulletin says:
Corn flour under the miscroscope
shows many hard, flinty pieces of the
endorspern GERM. which have a
very CLASSY appearance. When baked
in quick oven some of these par
ticles retain their glasslike appear
ance, though in the ordinary process
of baking this appearance is lost.
This is the explanation given by ex-
perrs employed by the International
Union of Bakers and Confectionery
Workers.
In bran flOurs nervous person
might easily fancy that particles of
the hard outer husk were glass. And
dextrine sometimes solidifies into a
hard, transparent mass, which might
he mistaken for glass
THE natural conclusion is that
most of the people who reported hav-
ing found glass in their bread were
deceived by the appearance of the
new materials"

look down and it looks like you are
not hardly moving at all, just float
ing along. There's no fences. or bumps
or telephone posts to guage your
speed by. And that first trip we were
above the clouds and that was sure a
pretty sight to look down on top of
the clouds and then he put the ship
in tail spin and that's the way we
came down through the clouds and
that's what made me sick. But by
the time we landed my tummy had
quit doing tail spin of its own and
was feeling fine again. I'll bet you
couldn't guess what they call the

INVASION OF HOLLAND POSSIBLE

Some OF the acts of the German
government can be attributed to
nothing but madness. Spain has been
pro-German and its government has
employed every device to remain neu-
trail, but the German miIitarists seem
determined to drive her into war.
rho United States is not especially in
terested in the relations between the
two countries. for the war can be
won without the help OF Spain, but
statesmen look with wonder upon the
aggressions of the German govern
ment, which violate every tenet of in
'terDational law and which secure
them no military advantage what
ever. Submarines have destroyed,
according to the Spanish account, 20
per cent OF her shipping, and the bur
den has now become uncomfortable.
When Spain takes measures to re-
coup her losses by taking n German
ship interned in her harbors for every
one sunk bv the submarines, the Ber-
lin government announces that she
considers that an "unfriendly act"
which Is the sort of talk that gem
orally precedes a declaration of war.
There seems to be some sort of I'M
derstanding among a few of the neu-
trail nations whose ships have been
sunk ny the score. for Holland has
taken similar action. There is an
intimation from one or two OF the
state departments of the allies that
Germany intends to pay no attention
to the sovereignty of Holland and il
further pressed back by the allies in
Rn1Oiuyt1 will inUoAn Holland aud 90 70
possession of her ports. Such action
as that. If II succeeded, would be of
very great military and naval impor-
lance. Ruthless and shameful, it
would yet be no greater violation OF
international law than many other
things that the German government
has done from the days of Frederick
the Great to the present day.

Republicans, nor because we are
Democrats, but because we are
American citizens"
This is a fitting time 10 make an
appeal To our people at large b. rise
to similar high plane Of citizen
ship. The near approach of a pO-
litical campaign suggests TO every
thoughtful man the necessity Of
making ii one that shall be free
from abusive language, bitter criti
cism or hasty judgment, on either
side. If our country has ever need
ed an undivided devotion 20 a great
purpose IL is at the present time,
for II will require the best that there
is in every individual. every party
and every class of society. The
watchword Of today should be, All
Together
True loyalty in a democratic
country. like ours, never deprives
the individual Of his right to an
opinion and conviction Of his own
or the opportunity to express that
opinion in the proper way and the
proper place. True loyalty never
prevents the honest and straight
forward conflict Of ideas and poll
clos as held by opposing political
parties conducted in proper way
and proper spirit. In fact democ-
racy depends on the existence Of
these for its very life. Out of the
competition Of brain with brain
and will with will comes that sur
vival Of the best that makes for
progress and the highest welfare of
all.
In the life of nation, however,
a peculiar emergency and crisis may
arise when the minds and the wills
Of all alike must be centered on a
common end. Such, We believe, is
the situation i'm the United States
today. At such time individual
opinion, class interest or party poll
icy must give way in loyal support
TO those who have been entrusted
with the direction Of the national
affairs, OR be so directed that they
will minister to greater efficiency.
and stimulate To greater endeavor.
May God grant that our American
citizenship may be true TO the high
est ideals Of democracy in this hour
of our nations greatest need.

LOYALTY
BY Prof. James r. Robertson

The greatest asset Of a nation does
not consist in its material wealth
but is rather to be found in the
high character Of its citizenship
In times of stress in the life Of q
nation nothing contributes more Ia
the welfare Of the state than the
loyalty Of its people.
Loyalty consists in putting the
welfare Of the state, which is the
welfare Of its citizens. above the in
terest Of the individual, Of the group
or the class TO which the individual
may belong.
A recent utterance Of Governor
Beckett Of North Carolina, reported
IN the papers. deserves more than
passing notice as fine example of
true loyalty and Of high citizen
ship. On the eve of a political cam
paign in which he seeks reelection
