SWEDEN LIKELY TO
GET ALAND ISLANDS

Washington, Nov. 1.-The Aland Is
lands will be conceded to Sweden in
the opinion of diplomatic authorities here,
as a result Of the prospective delibera-
lions of the commission created by the
League of Nations to decide this dispute
between Sweden and Finland.
President Wilson. 1t is known, has Sc
lected the American representative on
this commission, but announcement is
awaiting the acceptance Of the appoint
ment.
Sweden has always insisted on her right
to the Islands, even after losing hope OF
retaining them when forced by Russia's
threat to SURRENDER them. in 1909, a de-
tailed account Of the history of the is
lands reveals. Their restoration to
Sweden was offered by Great Britain and
France IN exchange for Sweden's during
the Crimaan War, an offer Sweden re-
fused to accept without sufficient guar
anteeo, which were not Forthcoming. al
tough Sweden did remain neutral.
The Swedish government sought to in
duce the powers to insort clause re-
specting the Aland Islands in the treaty
~ peace, in 1885. seeking first thor re-
storation, ard falling that ths'r neutral
izat!on, and as a final alternative. tho
prohibition of the Fertilization Of the IS
lands.

islands was taken On December 25-29
1917, considerable time before the out
break OF the Finnish Civil War. showing
that 95 per cent Of the adult population

PROMINENT BREEDERS
AT AYRSHIRE CLUB SALE

Rutland Oct. 2o.--1'he first consignment
sale by Vermont Ayrshire club members
was he'd Tuesday on the fair grounds at
Rutland and attracted many prominent
ana representative breeders from all
over the eastern half Of the United States
and animals offered were quickly disposed
of and made a successful sale average
under conditions existing generally at the
present time.
One Of the purposes for which this sale
was held was to gather together sufficient
Vermont Ayrshires to attract out OF State
buyers and to demonstrate the quality
and merit of Vermont bred animals, be-
lieving that such action would tend TO
croate a wider market ut a better price
than has previously existed, especially
for the smaller breeders. The sale was
marked success In this respect AS there
has possibly never been more rep
Iesentative gathering OF Ayrshire breed
ers OF national reputation than was pres
snt yesterday. Adam Seitz, Waukesha,
