SWEDISH PRESS
 PUBLISHES LIES
 ABOUT AMERICA

STOCKHOLM, Sweden April 1.- Fantastic stories regarding conditions in America are being published by the pro- German newspapers in Sweden This propaganda is designed obvious ly to awaken hostility toward the en- tente powers and the United States and to offset the effects unfavoarable to Germany caused by the sinking of Swedish ships by the Luxburg affair.
 The Nya Dagligt Allehanda print an alleged interview with Swede lately returned from America. According to this unidentified voyager American soldiers are committing suicide by the hundreds through fear of submarines; 1; American provision shops are being plundered and the proprietors lynched by the masses; Swedes are faring hard in America, due to the Luxburg dis clousures; the homes of 5000 Germ ans in New York are being watched by the police and the inhabitants searched in the streets every time they leave their houses and American news papers mot owned by British capitaP' have disclosed that "the American em- bassy in Budapest had been hoarding bombs.

The bill gives the rail way board power to advance by one four the standard time used by the railways of Canada for such period as may be prescribed by the board.
