ARCTIC WEATHER HOLDS
SWEDEN IN ITS GRIP
Stockholm Harbor Frozen Tight,
Preventing Ocean Going Ships
From Entering or Departing, +
CabIegram to The Evening, Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918.


STOCKHOLM. Sweden. January Pa
The wolf winter as the Swedes call
it, continues extraordinarily severe.
During the past week Stockholm has
had arctic weather, with from 20 to 50
degrees (Fahrenheit) below freezing. The
harbor presents a remarkable sight.
It is full of pack ice. stopping the fer
ries and locking in ocean-going ships.
Some of the ice foes are acres in area.
ami it is feared that the consequence to
navigation will be serious.
In many places the Ice. which extends
in an almost unbroken strip along the
coast of Sweden on the south and east.
is already six feet thick. It effectively
puts a stop to navigation. as 1t is i'm
pervious to the ice breakers. In the
channel south from Delare, outside Of
this port, fourteen ocean-going ships
were reported frozen in. They are in
a dangerous plight. as they are drift
ing helplessly with the ice foes among
reefs. In some cases ships which were
unable to reach Baltic ports have had
to land their passengers on the ice to
make their way across like arctic ex-
plorers.

military roads many hundreds of
these miles being unfortunately now
in the possession of the enemy. But
months of constant fighting and

There are very few soldiers over

It must likewise be understood that
these men are of high military quality
There are few better soldiers when they

Italy's Troops Equipped.

If the war had proved to be a short
one. Italy would have gone through 1t
with flying colors. At the outset her
troops were magnificently equipped.
They were we'll armed. clothed and fed.
/ saw them in 1916 and a portion of
them again in the early months of 1917.
and at that time the organization was
still excellent. But as time went on
the equipment deteriorated. OF late the
men have not been fed as they should
have been, nor clothed as they should
have been. But the Italian peasant
soldier is a brave and patient creature
If he had been properly treated in
other respects he would have fought on
Always back of the line has been the
German propaganda for defeat. The
ground. 1t sought to keep the army
out of contact.
In the effort to keep disaffection from
spreading in the army leave has been
practically refused This is not to say
that no leave has been granted. but not
upon the scale demanded. Men were
kept at the front for month after
month. A large part of the army, too,
are elderly" men from the Italian
viewpoint. Called originally because
they had had military training, they
were kept in line. Most of these men
had families. When they heard from
their families. which was none too
often, the news was depressing. Food
was scarce. The boys and girls were
running wild for lack of paternal au-
thority. Things were going wrong.

Central Powers Deteriorate.

Nevertheless, the central powers are
in that same condition of moral and
material deterioration Of which I wrote
from Switzerland. This encouraging
fact has been somewhat overshadowed
by the gloom of the last few weeks. but
it remains fact. The central powers
will undoubtedly stake everything on
the events of the next few months. The
ability to draw on this man-power re-
serve of Italy Is of immense value to
the allies now.
In view of the recent debacle my
statement that the Italian troops are of
high military value will certainly be
challenged by the uninformed. Yet the
manner in which they have fought since
the great retreat should be convincing.
/ have tried to show some of the moral
reasons which brought that retreat
about. There are plenty more. Not only
were the men kept in darkness by the
government. but they were most incon-
siderately treated by the high command.

Italy Had Good Army.

The reason was the same in both in
stances. To a medieval conception of
the autocratic functions of a govern
ment was added a complete failure to
realize that Italy in feeling. If not in
form, is essentially a democracy. The
government and the great headquar-
ters alike feared to trust the army.
The Italian government very properly
the last possible moment. This was
due primarily to the financial condition
of the country. At the outbreak of war
Italy was broke" The preceding war
had emptied her Golfers. 1t was real
lied that war of six to eight months
was all that the country could stand
without allied aid, and the Italian gov
ernment then believed the war would
last no longer. Like the rest of the
world. Italy was deceived by a propa-
ganda which wholly misrepresented the
essential strength and solidarity of the
central empires.

Paris Papers Claims Fully
$4,000 Germans Have
Been Captured

Paris, July 19, (HaVas) .-LHomme
Llbre without intending to divulge the
number of prisoners and guns cap
tured, says it is fully equivalent to the
number announced by the Germans as
having been captured on July 5 (the
German official statement on Tuesday
announced that $4,000 prisoners had
been taken Monday).
The newspapers Intentionally give
little information in regard to the bat
tie going on and the results obtained.
They hold themselves generally to the
official statement. All the critics are
enthusiastic over the success obtained
yesterday. BY taking the initiative,
it is held, General Foch has COM
PEELED the Germans, at the moment of
boasting that they were delivering a
supreme peace assault, to use their
reserves at the point and time select
ed by the generalissimo.
The Echo de Paris expresses the
conviction that the Franco american
success will be confirmed fully today.
1t says the German general staff will
do its utmost to straighten out it's af-
fairs, but the Allies have the upper
hand. The question for General Lu-
dendorff now is not whether to enter
Epermay, declares the Matin, but to
consider means for the salvation of
the divisions he has thrown across the
Marine.
