GERMAN PLAN TO RULE
SCANDINAVIA IS SEEN
SWEDEN, NORWAY AND DEN
MARK OBJECT TO DENUN-
CATION IN PAPERS.

London, Sunday March TO-
The newest and a novel display OF
German policy has come in the form
of a sudden broadside of denuncia-
ton Of the Scandinavian countries
by German newspapers OF publicists
like Count Reventlow of the Tages
Zeitung. From the similarity of
articles, it is evident that they are
directed by one mind, which mind
apparently is the German govern
ment.
The articles accuse the Scandi-
navian countries substantially of be-
ing accomplices of the entente and
warn them that, therefore, they can
expect no consideration from Ger
many. The reason for this policy
is plain to diplomats here. Ger
many's dealings with Finland thus
far seem to be designed to MAKE
Finland a minor German king
dom, with the emperor's son, Prince
Oscar, on the throne, and to make
another Heligoland OF the Aland
Islands.
Blow Against Sweden.
This scheme, which is a direct
blow against Sweden and in a less
degree against Denmark and Nor
way, is in line with the German
Emperor'S boast that the Baltic
lands have been made permanently
German.
The Aland Islands geographical
| ly are as much a part Of Sweden as
Newfoundland is of Cana d a
Throughout the war Sweden has
been troubled by the fear that Rus
sia would take them. Germany now
occupies the islands temporarily, but
the German flag flies over the public
buildings, and no one believes it will
ever come down except by force.
The most practical effect OF Ger
man control of Finland and the
Aland Islands is pointed out by
Count Reventlow, who says they
will no longer be used as a com
mercial bridge between Scandinavia
and Russia. This is a bar to Amer
ican as we'll as to British trade will
Russia.
Regarded as Pro-German.
That the Scandinavian couDtrie!
have been overfriendly to the en-
tente causes amusement here. Swe
den has been generally rated the mos
pro-German Of the neutral Euro
pean nations, except possibly Spain
The royal family, the aristocracy
the universities and the army have
been outspokenly pro-German. Fo
long time it was feared that Swe
den would join the Germanic ALI
ance. According to one newspaper
S. per cent Of the steel Germany ha
used for munitions has been furnish
ed by Sweden.
Denmark has never been consid
cred oyerfriendly to the entente, bu
considering tre fact that she is
small nation living under the muz
zles of the German guns and wit
the mailed fist at her throat, tn
fact that she is leaning backward i
maintaining her neutrality towar
the entente countries is understood
to have caused no i'll feeling.

DEWEY'S GERMAN ANTAGONIST At
MANILA, Won D|EDER|CHS, IS DEAD

Amsterdam, March ll.-Admiral
Won Diederichs, commander OF a
German squadron off Manila dur
ing the Spanish-American war
who clashed with Admiral Dewey
the commander of the American
squadron in the Philippines, is dead
at Baden Baden.
The friction between Admiral
Dewey and Admiral Won Diederichs
arose over the German officers dis
inclination to observe the rules OF
the blockade established by the
American commander in Manila
Bay.
Admiral Dewey insisted the war
ships of the neutrals entering the
bay should report to the Americans
and was upheld in this contention
by the British naval commander.
The Germans, nevertheless, sought
to eyade the rule and on several oc-
casions there was friction.
In a book published by Admiral
Dewey, in 1914, three years before
his death he described the final in
cident at Manila Bay as follows:
Nice-Admiral Won Oeiderichs
Nwas unconyinced. When later the
Cormoran, which was an old offend
er, was sighted coming up the bay,
Flag Lieutenant Brumby was sent
to make sure that she stopped to re-
port, in keeping with the customs
of other foreign men OF war. When
the Cormoran saw the McCulloch
approaching, she turned and steam
ed toward the northern part of the
bay, compelling the McCulloch to
follow. Brumby first hosted the
international signal, i wish to COM
municate.' No attention was paid
to this by the Cormoran. Then
Brumby fire fired a shot across her
bows, which had the desired effect.
On the following day Nice-Ad-
miral Won Deiderichs sent tactiul,
capable young officer OF the staff to
me with a memorandum of griev-
ances. When | heard them through
| made the most of the occasion by
using him as third person to state
candidly and firmly my attitude in
verbal message which he con
veyed to his superior so success
fully that Vice-Admiral Won Deid-
erichs was able to understand my
point of view. There was no fur
ther interference with the blockade
or breach of etiquette, which hat
been established by the common
consent of the other foreign com.
manders.
Admiral Won Deiderichs, com
menting on Dewey's book, blamed
the American admiral for the clasl
and intimated that it would never
have arisen if Dewey had protested
officially about the trivial Incl
a dents These, he said, included
y the firing Of shots by the American
in order to stop two German pin
naces.

Of course the kaiser knew that il

upon his part would have left but one
course open for him: suicide. If, OF
the other hand, the kaiser meant TO
