Branting Talks Plainly.

Hjalmar Granting, the socialist lead
ar, has done some plain speaking on
the subject that ought to interest
other neutralS and us.
THE Spanish people" he says. ARE
losing patience with the German tor
Dedoings. which, it is reported. have
destroyed about one-ffth of SPANS
trade fleet. Public opinion is agitated
threaten to procure the country COM
pensation by the seizure of German
vessels lying in Spanish harbors.
There is much moral indignation in
Berlin over this threat. The newspa
understand that it is hard for the
Spaniards. but that Germany cannot
on that account abstain from the use
as an active war weapon of the sub
marine. This warfare. they say. is di-
rected against England's sea power
and hence it is waged also on behalf
of the neutrals'

STOCKHOLM. Sweden. August 81
Sweden is watching with keen in
terest Spain's threat to confiscate Ger
man ships to compensate for Spanish
ships destroyed by submarines. Many
Scandinavian shipowners would like
to have the same drastic steps taken
by the nortern nations, but it must
be remembered that Spain's geo.
graphical and economic position is
very different from Scandinavia's.
With the Baltic a purely German
lake. which cannot be crossed or even
entered outside the three-nile terri
torial water limit without a special
individual permit from the German
government. with German coal an in
dispensable necessity and with the

tential menace across the lake few
hours away. Scandinavia cannot trans
late desires into action.

Statement by Mr.. McAdoo.

Director General of Railroads Nc
|Adoo has just issued statement in
regard to railroad travel, calling upon
the public generally to use passenger
train service at the lowest possible
minimum. Mr. McAdoo thus presents
the case: Among the many patriotic
duties of the American public at this
time is the duty to refrain from trav-
cling unnecessarily. Every man,
: woman and child who can avoid using
passenger trains at this time should
do so. 1 earnestly hope that they
will do so.'
Chairman Carl G.. Fisher of the
A. A. A. touring board makes this
comment upon Mr.. McAdoo's plea:
with rail lines congested by es-
sential freight haulage. it certainly IS
the duty of everyone to cut down his
use of this utility, and. of course.
the only answer is the highway and
the self-propelled vehicle, which now
can show anew it's ability to abridge
distances and quickly transport peo-
pie from one place to another in the
necessary transaction of their daily
duties.
I'm the middle west it is the ex-
pected thing for the average passen-
ger car owner to employ his vehicle
in practically all of his town to town
journeys, whether they be within the
state or into an adjoining common
wealth.

Shows Need of Good Highways.

1.-The situation has demonstrated
unequivocally the grea. need in every
state of a state plan of state-built
and state-maintained highways, and
if the country as a whole were thus
equipped at the present time it
would mean the saving of millions
of dollars which could be invested
in liberty loans and other helpful
forms of financing the great expendi-
lures which we must meet.
1t is my belief that every Ameri-
can soldier who returns from France,
after having personally seen and
travelled over it's great highway sys-
TEN. will be a forceful and persist
ent advocate to establish similar
situation in our country, even though
it be many times the size of the
prosperous nation which has bene-
fitted SO thoroughly from the good
roads wisdom of certain Napoleon
Bonaparte.

Neutrals Were Misled.

"Just think of how misled We neu-
trails were before we got the right in
! formation from those people in Ber-
lin, who think of us and do every
thing to help US. Here we neutrals,
and not least we Swedes. have be-
lieyed that the C-boat warfare was
a curse. that its very idea was a
crime against the simplest precepts of
humanity and in addition was espe-
cially detested by us, because of the
brutality with which our Seamen have
been murdered and our ships sunk
with everything they carried. But now
the Berlin newspapers inform us that
this barbaric warfare which Germany
wages is on our behalf, because it is
TO free the seas from England's power
and place them under German con-
troll, though Berlin finds it unneces-
sary to mention this latter considera-
ton.
"Is Il presumptuous for US and very
unneutral to request politely that we
be excused from being cited as in the
remotcst degree the cause of the L
boat barharity or to remind the Ber-
lin newspapers that no neutral ma
ton ever has asked for that sort of
help against Britain's sea power
May we also beg to be excused from
this sort of warfare on our behalf:

more TRAVELLING
! BY AUTO CLAIMED
Figures Compiled Show Fully
so Per Cent Increase the
Past Summer.

Highway travel by means of the
passenger automobile has increased
during the present summer fully so
per cent, according to the figures
which have been compiled by the ma
tional road bureaus at the A. A. A.
Washington and New York city head
quarters. The increasing of road
journeys has resulted from over
crowded trains and the difficulty OF
assured Accommodations and convent
ences except to comparatively linz
tied number of travellers. While a
percentage of the road trips have had
to do with vacation periods. pre-
ponderating quantity has related to
commercial necessities and a conse-
quent saving in time obtained by un-
INTERRUPTED door-to-door trips.

Sweden Loses ITO Ships.

"Thc latest list available. that of
August IL. shows that since the war
began Sweden has had 10 ships with
a total tonnage of 100000 torpedoed,
set afrc or blown up and s03 persons
killed as 4 result.
The j-boat warfare is responsible
for a much greater number of victims.
but with this black list before their

encourage unrestricted I-boat war
fare, but let their newspapers give us,
the citizens of neutral countries. the
advice not to complain. as it is waGed
not less in our behalf than in that of

Casualty Lists

Last week the length of the
American casualty list was increas
ed by CAT names. The total to
July ID for all ranks and all services
and from all causes amounted TO
10050. Recently the pro. German
and the near traitor among Amer.
cans have been pointing TO news of
American activity and whispering
that the Americans are doing all
the fighting and the British are do
ing nothing"
When our total casualty list for
the war does not equal tenth of
the British list for many single
weeks of the struggle, such talk is
simply foolish.
However, this country will speed
lily realize the meaning of this wars
casualty lists. The resumed often
sive is aimed over and through some
of the greatest concentrations of
A mericans now in the fighting lines
The casualty lists that have been
filling from half a column to two
columns of our newspapers will
swell to pages in length now that
our forces are actually helping to
stem a major offensive and helping
in force. We may as well steel
ourselves for a long list of dead,
wounded and missing Such lists
are the everyday price of stopping
an offensive as well as of making
one. The cost of war will be little
more apparent to Americans ere
the end of the week, and the nation.
al resolution to win will be hardened
by just so much more.
