Hcient amount OF steel plates. 1t Is
asserted that all the yards have con
tracts which will provide them with
business for several years to ome
Heretofore the direct route facliI-
ties from America to Sweden have
been pitifully Inadequate and Ger
many took advantage OF that fact.
Goods meant for Sweden or Russia
were taken into Hamburg and the
docking costs and export commissions
exacted were duly added to the prices
which the Swedish and Russian i'm
porters had TO pay. The dlsadvan-
tage to the American exporter Is obyi-
ous Less obvious, and In fact. not
' realized until the war exposed the
practise. was the disadvantage to tho
American exporter OF having his
goods finally prepared for these mar
kets by German manufacturers whose
sole contribution TO the product was
frequently the mere stamping OF q
Made In Germany" mark upon II.
II Is realized In Sweden that be-
sides having a sufficient number at
ships TO maintain frequent and con-
slant service with America, no meant
must be neglected to expedite SHIPS
ments. Attention is now being givef
TO a plan which will avoid the sea
trip around the end of the peninsula
This Involves the enlargement and lm-
provement OF the port OF Gothenborg.
II also involves the Improvement Of
the railroad route from Gothenborg
to Stockholm. II is proposed that i'm
ports from the United States for Rus
sia be unloaded from ships into freight
cars at ~Gothenborg, and that these
freight cars, arriving AT Stockholm, be
ferried across to Russia.
Already the amount OF exports to
this country Is large. Swedish iron and
steel. wood pulp and paper. matches,
ball bearings, oil lamps, petroleum
stoves, gas -aecumulators. steam tur-
blnes, motors, dynamOs, milking ma
chimes, enamelled ware, and many 9TH
er articles have been sold here In
steadily increasing amounts. II Is The
purpose Of the Swedish producers to
foster this growth.
A number OF transatlantic trading
corporations. highly capitalized. have
been formed. They are establishing
branch Offices in the United States and
other countries. and by heavy invest
ments are preparing to establish q sit
uatIon which will insure markets here
for Swedish products and at the same
time sources Of supply for their manu-
facturers.
For Der wood pulp business Sweden
needs sulphur, l%ubricating oils, rosin,
copper, brass. rubber aud feits. For
her farms and manufactures b needs
machinery. She needs fOodstuffs. She
win need all Of these In Increasing
amounts as her plans for the {
sion Of industries develop. Those
plans reach 10 the exploitation Of Iron
ore deposits extending far b9'ond the
Arctic Circle. They contemplate I'M
told riches from the use OF forests
which have given to Sweden a rank OF
close second to the United States as an
exporter OF lumber and its products
Both Norway and Sweden have been
badly plnehed during the war, but
their trials Of the last three years have
served TO awaken them 70 the neces-
sity OF establishing commercial con-
n~ectlons elsewhere than with Germany.
In their desire 10 be co~-operators with
this country lies an opportunity FOR
service and profit which ought not 70
be neglected

DOLLAR DAY
NEXT TUESDAY

Early next Tuesday morning-Dollar
Day-there will come pouring into
Hammond by automobile. on interur-
ban and trains. hundreds of out OF
town buyers. Especially will the in
flux from the country districts be
great.
This was demonstrated in the 1917
Dollar Day and merchants have plan
ned for even "A greater trade this year.
Living has resolved Itself into a ques-
,ion of getting the most for the dol
lar.
The war has Ieveled all ranks. The
housewife in the cottage and mansion
are each practicing the strictest econ
omy and Dollar Day IS an opportunity
for both.
Dollar Day is the greatest trade
event of the year for several reasons.
First - Because more Hammond
merchants participate in it than in
any other Every live business house
takes part.
Sccond-Because there are SO many
merchants in it the competition is
keener
Third-Because the competition is
keener the bargains are greater.
Each merchant is endeavoring to
outstrip the other in giving the great
est possible value for a dollar and the
values obtainable next Tuesday will
surpass belief.
No resident of Lake county can af-
ford not to visit the Hammond Dollar
Day Stores next Tuesday.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN FLANDERS, April 19.-Frencn
and British armies are fighting
shoulder to shoulder on the Lys
battle fields.
Won Armin and Won Quasi have
sacrificed further fresh divisions at
KENNEL while to the south Won
Eberhardt and Won Stettin have
apparently struck stone wall.
Nearly nifty divisions. about $4,000
men. have been used in Flanders by the
enemy since April and apparently
many more will be needed in the fourth
and sixth German armies who are 70
hattie on. Some Of these divisions are
TOO badly battered TO go on. others are
physically exhausted. Tho remainder
are tired but are being pushed on In
desperate attempts to enlarge the AT
mentieres bulge.
Hindenburg must strike elsewhere US
ing many of his remaining precious re-
ssrves If he is unable to advance turin
er In Flanders.
German high power guns are extreme
- busv in the villages and roads sur
rounding the battle fields and the bonn
bardment is being increased as the heaV-
fer artillery Is dragged up.
