den has beecn generally rated the
most pro- German of the neutral Eu-
ropean countries, except possibly
Spain, and for long time it was
feared Sweden would join the German
alliance. According to Jne newspaper
55 per cent of the steel Germany has
used for munitions has been furnished
by Sweden.
Denmark has rcvcr been considered
over friendly to the Entente, but since
she is small nation, living under the
muZzle of the German guns and with
the mailed fist at her throat, the fact
that she is leaning backward in main
tanning her neutrality toward the En-
tentc countries is understood to have
caused no lii feeling.
Familiar Move
The latest German move appears to
be familiar one. Germany feels that
she now is in position where she is
so strong in the north that she needs
no longer to cultivate the friendship
OF the scandinavian countries. and
that she may make whatever damag-
ing arrangements she desires and
threaten them. 1t is the same proceed
urc she followed when she began
bombarding undcfendcd British coast
towns like Scarborough, explaining
her action on the ground that they
were fortified
Count Won Rcventlow writes that,
as the Swedish Government has be-
como more and more attached to the
cause of Gcrmany's enemies, German
feeling toward her has cooled and that
"Swedish freedom of action has been
greatly limited"
The Cologne Gazette, in comment
n 1,.l,
regarding the occupation of the Aland
Islands says:
"Fhc SwedCs have no cause for COM
plant; they reap simply the result of
their policy of ovcr-prudlnce during
the war"

JAPAN SHOULD BE EMPLOYED
Her Intervention in Russia to Save
India the Allies Believe Now
Made Necessary

Washington, March 10.-Washinp-
ton is still awaiting word from Am
bassador Morris at Toxic as to how
the Japanese government received the
declaration Of Americas views against
intervention in Siberia. The impress
sion is growing here that the United
States will take no further steps, no
matter what Japan does, and that ia
pan will intervene after q polite ex.
position to the United States for ner
reasons for doing so.
This view is greatly strengthened
today by the Importance attached to
Japanese action by entente represent
atives in Washington. Evidently TAX
ing their cue from the speech of Lord
Cecil in the house Of commons on Fri
day, they now say it is a criminal
waste Of entente forces not to employ
Japan in the far east.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1918-03-13

They are talking Of an even more
extensive use of the Japanese forces
/ than the mere protection Of the allied
supplies at Vladivostok or the pacifi-
cation of eastern Siberia. Many Of
, them advocate that japanese forces
be moblizcd for use on the Indian
frontier.
The German menace to India, they
say, can not be ignored until leu
on-Turkish force is pIowing through
Atghanistan. They point to the deli
cate psychological element in British
control of India and Say that British
prestige there is already menaccd by
The Teuton successes on the Black
sea.
That Germany will not be slow to
make use Of this situation, allied dip.
'omats say, is already proven by the
way liar Dyal. Indian revolutionst,
was sheltered in Berlin while he
sought the aid of plotters and anar
chists in the United States.
Slight confidence is placed here in
the efforts to rehabiltatc Russian re-
slstance through Russians living in
China. These Russians, it is pointcd
out, are anxious for Japanese help.
Japanese help, with her half million
men ready for battle, is far more
available than could be the organiza-
tion Of their own scattered forces.
In view of the eagerness of the al
lies for Japanese help, an eagerness
based upon really desperate view of
the eastern situation, it is believed
possible that President Wilson will
content himself with declaration of
principles already delivered to Japan,
will not dissent from the action urged
by the allies and await the final peace
conference to insist upon his views as
to the integrity of Russian territory.
In such an event it is considered
probable that the president will for
mally and publicly state his views, ac
centuating the fact that they differ
from those of his allies in purely
friendly way, and permitting the al
lies to reply that they agree with the
president in principle and will see to
it that in the final settlement Russian
integrity is respected.

Finland this far seem to be designed
to make of Finland a minor German
kingdom, with the Emperors son,
Prince Oscar, on the throne,( and to
make another Helgoland of the Aland
Islands.
Blow Against Sweden
This scheme is a direct blow against
Sweden and in a less degree against
Denmark and Norway, and is in line
with the German Emcpror's boast
that the Baltic lands have been made
permanently German.
The Aland Islands, geographically,
are as much part of Sweden as New
Foundland is of Canada. Throughout
the war Sweden has been troubled by
the fear that Russia would take them
Germany now occupies the islands
temporarily, 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 German control of Finland and the
tAland Islands is pointed out by Count
Revcntlow, who says they will no
longer be used as commercial bridge
between Scandinavia and Russia. This
is a bar to American as well as to
British trade with Russia.
Amusing Charge
That the Scandinavian countries
have been over-friendly to the Entente
came here as an amusing charge. Swc-

CONSTANT ITCHING ALMOST
UNBEATABLE.

Only those afflicted with Ec-
zema, with its terrifying irritation
and ceaseless itching know what
constant torture this disease can
, cause. The disease appears in
different ways, sometimes with
a reddening and irritation of the
skin, sometimes in the form Of
blisters. Other cases of Eczema
take the form Of dry, scaly con-
dition of the skin that cracks and
peels. But no matter in what
form the disease appears. it is a
source Of constant fiery irritation
that is well-nigh unbearable.
Eczema is very often consid-
cred a skin disease. This is a
natural mistake, as it attacks
the skin and it is through the
skin that it causes so much dis
comfort and suffering. But the
real seat Of the disease is the
blood. The germs of Eczema
are in the blood, and the irri-
tated and diseased condition of
the skin is The result Of the
germs trying TO break out of
the system. Beyond the use of
antiseptics TO promote cleanll-
ness, there is no local treatment
that will accomplish a perma-
nent cure of this disease. And
those who have been relying al
together upon salves. soaps. ONT
ments and other local applica-
tons to the skin will find that no
permanent good will come from
s,lch treatment by itseli.sisE ..
Read how Basil NJ. L.anneau,
who resides on Confederate ave-
nue., in Atlanta, Ga, found relief
from this terrifying disease, after
all local treatment had failed. He
writes:

ointment, tried nearly every skin
remedy. besides being treated by
two skin specialists. / am now
convinced that Eczema is nothing
but blood trouble, for after taxi
ing several bottles Of S. S. S., am

Years Of untold suffering can
be avoided if the real cause of Il
disease can be definitely deter
mined, and the proper method Of
treatment employed. Hence those
afflicted with Eczema will con-
tinuc TO suffer as long as they
consider the disease a condition
of the skin, and rely solely upon
local applications Of salves, ONT
ments and similar remedies. If
YOU really want TO be cured YOU
must realize that the disease is in
the blood, and you can expect re
lief only from treatment that is
directed toward ~ cleansing The
blood of the disease germs. This
is why 5. S. S. is So successful
in the treatment of Eczema and
all other diseases of the blood !;
because it acts as an antldOte to
any impuriiy that finds Judgment
in the blood. Being purely veg
