SCHOLARSHIPS F0RRESEARCH
 STUDY SWEDEN

NEW YORK, May 13 (by Asso- ciated Press) The American-Scandi- navian Foundation announced here to- day the establishment of ten new scholarships, beginning with the academic year 1919-192O, for young American scientific students to com. plete their general study and research in Sweden, in the universities and technological schools there and under the direction of scientific specialists in industry.
 This plan, carrying out the avowed purpose of the foundation ito draw the American and Scandinavian peo ples closer in bonds of intellectual Robert Nordvall, Swedish commis- sioner to the United States, and Dr. Henry Goddard Leach, secretary of the foundation. Funds ncssary to maintain the scolarships have been pledged by Americans who desire to promote the interchange of scientific knowledge between the two countries and wish Sweden better to under stand American ideals. Similarly, funds are being raised in Sweden to send ten Swedish students to the United States. Each scholarship will provide $1,OO0 for one years study.
 The definition of subjects is not strictly limited but the scholarships will be proportioned among those studies in which Swedish science of fors unusual advantages-physics chemistry, hydro-electrical engineer ing, metallurgy, forestry and lum- bering.
 Among the prominent institutions to which these students may go are the Universities of Lund and Upsala, which trace their traditions back to mediaeval ages, and the more re gently established Royal Institutes of Forestry and Technology. By special arrangement there will be opportun- ity for study also under such scien- lists and industrial directors as Svante Arrhenius, founder of the modern theory of electrolytic dissocia- tion, and Dr. Hjalmer Lundbohm, in charge of operations of the great iron mountains at Kiruna.
 In view of the exceptional oppor- tunity offered by these scholarships the foundation considers it desirable that applicants be graduates of tech nological schools or colleges or men of equivalent practical experience.
 Applications are to be acted upon by committee made up in part by Captain William Hovgaard, chairman, professor of naval architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy; Professor H. P. Talbot, head of the department of chemistry at Mas sachusetts Institute of Technology; and Professor A. B. Remedy, head of the department of electrical engineer ing Harvard university. There will also be jurors except in metallurgy and forestry representing Yale and Columbia Universities. Application papers must be filed with the commit tee before June 1 and announcement of the names of the successful can didates will be made about June 15. Applicants should request papers from the American-Scandinav Foundation, 35 West 45th street, New York city.

is mostly on edge and is all rock. But
Bosnia, and herzegovina, and Croatia,

Wants Business, Not Gifts.

He did not mean to indicate that
if the United States thrust money
on Jugoslavia the gift would be re-
pulsed. Serbia has. ! believe. suffered
more in proportion to its riches and
population than any other country
in the world. But he did not ask
gifts. He wants American business
men to come to Jugoslavia to make
money.
"In that Zay We will be modern
lied" said he. Come over here and
build railroads. The ports of the
Dalmatian coast. which must become
ours eventually. will be the ports of
entry not for a population of H.
100000 people, but for a population
of 5O.G00.O0O Parts of what were

Rumania must get their goods

must have hotels. AS our hinterland

TALLY as rich a country as your west
tween them. We want to know how
YOU did it. Then we will try to do

One sort or man is not particularly
wanted here. That is the man with
a camera who persistently pictures
peasants in their picturesque cos
tunes. There are plenty of peasants
in costume, but the new JugoslaVja
is essentially modern in thought and
hope. 1t is rich land. which only
needs a chance. Give it breathing
space on Dalmatia and projections
from more powerful and unscrupu-
lous neighbors and Jugoslavia will
soon be able to look after itself
Serbia proper is a land of little
farms. Almost every peasant owns
his own land. He is protected against
execution for debt in the possession
of the minimum amount OF land and
tools. ETC., to insure the safety of his
family. That is why the Serbian peas
ant has fought on uncomplainingly
for seven years and why there is lit
tie fear of boishevism in Serbia to-
day. 1t is why the Serbian calmly con-
templates the possibility Of another

LABOR MEN PREPARED
FOR GOMPERS PARADE
Details Complete for Daylight OF
Night Parade to Surpass
Previous Efforts.

Organized labor of. Washington is
planning a parade that is expected 10
!! surpass anything of the kind ever at
tempted in this city.
Plans were practically completed
last night at a meeting of the Central
Dor Union committee charged with
arranging the welcome home 10
Samuel GomperS. president OF the
American Federation of Labor. who is
abroad in the interest of organized la
Dor. Only the details of the affair re-
main to be worked out. The commit
tee. of which John B. Colpoys, former
president of Central Labor Union. is
chairman, met in Mr.. Colpoys' office
and was attended by the twenty mem
bers.
The committee is in communication
he advises the members of the date
of his return to this country the time
for the big demonstration will be
fixed. 1t is probable, it is said, that
Mr. Gompers will not return to the
United States until the peace nego-
tiations are completed in France.
Two Plans Considered.
Two plans for the demonstration
are under consideration. both com
plete and ready for adoption. The
first and more strongly favored Is
for daylight parade starting from
the Peace Monument. to be reviewed
by President Wilson at the Whlte
House. Then the line of march would
turn south in 18th. street to the
Washington Monument grounds.
where a big stand would be erected,
from which Mr.. Gompers would
speak and tell of the situation abroad.
The Secretary Of the Department Of
Labor and his staff Of assistants and
the Secretary of the Department OF
Commerce and his staff. together
with many prominent government
officials. would be invited to occupy
seats on the big stand.
Not only will organized labor Of
Washington be in the demonstration.
but there will be large representa-
ton from the Maryland and District
of Columbia Federation OF Labor OF
Baltimore. as well as big delega-
ton from the Alexandria tVa) Coun-
ell of Labor. The Washington
Building Trades Council. made up OF
some thirty trades. has appointed
committee to push the movement.
There will be in the parade probably
as many as 10000 men and women,
wage earners of this city. Baltimore
and Alexandria.
