SWEDES SEXPEcTANT
0FEAR[Y PEACE
Find 1t Hard to Believe That
America Is in Fight to
a Finish.
by RAssETT DIGBY.

Especial Correspondents Of Tho Eyen-
Ing Star and Chicago Daily News.)
STOCKHOLM. Sweden. juno l.
Economic conditions in Scandinavia
have changed more during the past
year than in any previous decade In
the history Of northwestern Europe. 1t
is becoming increasingly clear that
public opinion. with regard to possible
participation in the war. is no longer
fluid. 1t has become solid. Every one
has his or her sympathies. with one
belligerent faction or the other. But
entry into the war is inconceivable.
Every one longs for the war to come
to an end soon. SO that deprivations
may cease. The craving for peace has
bred a curious confidence that peace
will come shortly by a German victory
or a compromise. In spite of all
Americas determination and the de-
termination of her allies to see this
noble fight of democracy through to a
finish Scandinavia does not believe that
we mean it.
Germans Play on Desires.
The bulk of the Swedes are quite
sure the war will be over by Christ
mas-as they want it to be over by
Christmas. The German propagan-
dists skillfu1ly pander to this longing.
cabling from Berlin frequent reports
of entente determination to "prolong
the war;" and "rumors" that prepara-
tions are being made for another win
ter campaign.
At this stage of the war. however.
IL is hardly fair to upbraid the Scandi-
navians for their refuctance-or. rath-
er, their refusal-to como in on the
side Of democracy. German militar-
ism. stamped with the approval of
Scheidemann and the socialist leaders
II triumphant in eastern and northern
Europe, Denmark. 1t is argued. would
be occupied in less than a week.
The occupation Of Norway would be
an easy task for few divisions re-
leased from Russia. Sweden would
stand no chance against the millions of
central Europe. In strict neutrality
lies Scandinavia's only chance of
weathering the storm.
This Is the first spring Of real war
conditions for Sweden. Last spring
we had bread cards and sugar cards,
and prices in general were rather high
er than normally. But there was
nothing that could be called a serious
pinch.

stated there could be no "hugger

of brute force must this time forever
be broken and burnt in its own fur

Even. among the more radical war
lists Of Germany there is growing
conviction that Germany Is to suffer
after the war Is over. in view of the
close economic alliances that are to
be effected among the nations arrayed
against the central powers. 1t has
been openly stated that the perfection
Of the mitteleuropan idea Of the kaiser
will be poor recompense for lost world

HARD lob PREPARING
FOR BIG OFFENSIVE
Trying Task Concentrating Men
and Establishing Communications
Behind the Lines.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, June 23.-The task OF con-
centrating divisions for q modern bat
tie on the western front Is by no
means an easy one, for 1t Is naturally
the enemy's chief concern to prevent
such a movement from being success
fully and easily accomplished.
Rapid concentrations are essentiai,
else the all-important element OF
surprise is lost. and rapidity depends
largely upon the skillful use Of rail-
ways already overburdened with the
normal demands OF the troops in the
assault area. For this reason tho
enemy's long-range fire. as well as q
considerable proportion Of his bomb
ing airplanes, is concentrated upon
the railroads in the back areas.
Straight Railway Hard to Hlt
Under normal conditions the ordi-
nary straight railway line is not par
ticularly vulnerable. Being so narrow,
it is a difficult target to hit. The
curves of a railroad are, however,
much more important. The destruc-|
tion of a section of rail on a curve
means more trouble than the destruc-
tion of half a dozen sections on the
straight.
Sidings. railway stations and places
where there is a network of rails ana
where there are points. functions ana
other special types of rail are even
more important than curves. for dam
age done at a vital center may COM
pIetely delay traffic for many hours
Such rail centers behind the German
lines are subjected by the British to
a form Of time bombardment so de-.
vised that all repairs have to be car
ried out under the most harassfng
conditions; and not an hour passes
without shells or bombs bursting In
the affected area
An important result of this con-
centration against the rail centers 10
that troops cannot be massed for an
attack without undergoing a certain
amount of Notwithstanding experiences
first There is no peace for them by
day or by night. Under these con-
ditions the troops are stale before
the attack is launched

HOW HATS ARE N
Best Ones Take From Three to Six
Months in Weaving.

ToQuilla straw, from which panama
hats are made, is obtained from five
or six species Of the palm. The most
important OF these IS known as Car
ludoyica palmata. and grows in the
warm moist regions of the Pacific
coast in Columbia and Ecuador and
also in the forests of Peru along the
head waters OF Nhe Amazon
This palm attains a height OF six
TO ten feet The leaves are fan shap
ed Toqnilla straw is exported to the
United States and other countries,
where the hats are made by machin.
cry.
Panama hats are made in Col
umbia in the following manner.
writes Ross Hazeltine, United States
consul at Cartaeena,
When the palm is about five fee,
high the most tender leaves are cut
and the veins taken out, submerged in
boiling water several times and piat.
ed in the sun to dry and whiten
Further 10 whiten the straw, lime
juice Is added TO the boiling water
Then the straw is moistened 10
make it flexible and split with the
fingernail into strips OF the required
width.
A bunch of the straw Is tied in the
middle and placed in the center Of q
wooden mold The fibers are placed
in equidistant pairs and weaving is
begun in the upper part Of the cup
and continues in circular form until
the hat is finished
The addition of fibers while wcay
Ing the crown is carefully avoided,
and the number Of fihers is increa&
ed TO make the hrim and edge. The
beauty and durability of the hat De
pend largely upon the degree Of ev.
actness with which the fibers are in.
terwoven.
Once completed the hat is washed
in clean. cold water coat of gum
is applied and the hat is finally pol.
ished with dry sulphur.
To weave fine BAT requires three
TO six months with four to five hours
work daily. Two inferior hats OF or.
binary straw can be woven in one
day.
First quality hats Of toqulia are
sold In the foreign retail markets at
prices varying from s25 to 800 each.
