WANTS OPENING TO SEA
Ultimate Object Thought To Be Con-
troll of Scandinavian Peninsula
Giving Access to Atlantic
Ocean.

Washington, March 12.-The Kaiser
is deliberately seeking to provoke
hostilities with Scandinavia. His
ultimate object is the control of the
Scandinavian peninsula and the es-
tablishment of a naval base IN one
of the magnificent deep water, No..
turally defended harbors of the Nor.
wegian coast.
This is the Interpretation placed
here upon Germany's threat to close
the North Sea against Sweden. Allied
diplomats scanned the recent Ger.
man message to Stockholm with the
keenest interest. They compared 1t
with advices that have been received
from Berne and Amsterdam showing
that similar threats nave been made
against Norway and Denmark.
Access to the Norwegian coast, 1t
is pointed out, is a prize of incom-
parable value both for the conduct
Of the war and for the fortunes OF
Germany after the war.
Would Establish Sovereignty.
Washington, March IL. - Dis
patches from an Entente government
received here state that it is the in.
tention of the German government to
establish German sovereignty over
Scandinavia and to make the: Baltic
a German lake. The intelligence was
received by the Entente government
from official correspondents in Berne
and Amsterdam. The Berne tele.
gram follows:
"Tne Wolff bureau reports on the
4th of March the signing of a treaty
between Finland and Germany. By
this treaty Finland is placed under
the material, political and moral tute.
lage of the German empire. They
having pretended on the 4th OF
March, in the principal committee
of the reicnstag, that Germany would
only go to the aid Of Finland in the
defense of the liberty of the country
threatened by the Red Guards, the
German government has turned
about, or rather has revealed the1l
real ambition, which is nothing less
that to make a German lake of the
Baltic and establish a German SOW
ereignty over the Scandinavian
states.
"One can conceive of this policy
not being of nature to calm Swedish
uneasiness. It is this which the Kol
nische Zeitung in one of it's recen1
issues expresses: 1T seems say
this paper, that an attitude of a par
