Sweden into the world war on the
side OF Germany. 1t was claimed
that Russia. in violation of trea-
ties. had fortified the islands to
such an extent that they were a
menace to Sweden. German propa-
gandists in Stockholm used this
pretext to inhame Swedish opin-
ion against Russia and against the
allies. and at one time in the
spring Of 1916 the question as to
whether or not Sweden should cast
her lot with Germany and plunge
into the maelstrom of war de-

mained neutral.

The question of the ALLEGATION Of
the islands and their administration

favor of Findland. This was a de-

There amt a doubt in my mind
that Valentine Morgan Brewster is

During the celebrated quarrel IN
Europe he must have shook n of
the nastiest planes in the surround

champion wearing a Oh

that address beyond Stonehurst and
landed alive.
1 think I inhaled more sensations
on that dash than there are bacteria
in an elephant. Being used to doing
my travelling on the weil-known
ground, anyway. 1 suppose the most
ordinary air journey would have
handed me great gobs of excitement.
But this daredevil Brewster had the
chills jazzing along the old back
bone until it felt like another Arctic
Circle.

Chandler than his right eye, both

! trifes. The thought of her being in
danger had driven all the soreness
outa his system. I guess.
That Judge Curtis and his young
err partner, Grain, were undoubtedly

me. Brewster knew they had used
me to get him away from home. but
