COPENHAGEN. Denmark. June 49,
Scandinavian ship owners received a
surprise during the last month, when
they found that large portion of the
in this part Of the world were brought
in American bottoms in spite of the fact
that an unofficial boycott was operating
against the United States Shipping
Board.
For the last year nearly every con-
tract signed by Scandinavian buyers
has contained a clause specifying that
the goods must be shipped on Scandina-
Wan boats This was due to the absurd
delays and poor operating methods en-
ployed by the United States Shipping
With this clause operating against
the American ships, it was believed
that very few boats flying the Stars
and Stripes would anchor in Scandi-
navian ports t;on this ,.,a season But all
least fifteen good sized American
steamers are unloading in Norwegian,
Swedish and Danish ports, bringing
not only American goods, but also
cargoes from the ends of the world.
while Scandinavian shipping is laid

rather than follow the safe, and
sane plan of letting the ships stand
idle until conditions are bettered.
Whether it is true that the American
ships are operating at a loss remains
to be seen. but they are still busily
engaged.
The situation has aroused some BIT
ter comments, but even the worst pes
simist looks upon the American &C.

would create a powerful country ex-
tending on the one side to the Adrlatic

The peasant party. which at present
rules in Bulgaria. has consistently
favored such federation. The OBJ
Stacle to it's realization heretofore has
been the mutual suspicion and hatred
of the Serbs and BulgarS. especially
over the Macedonian question. The
Bulgarian peasant party wants to let
the Macedonian question drop forever.
but there is large and patriotic ele-
ment in Bulgaria, particularly the
group known as the Macedonian or
ganization. which seems to have sworn
Macedonia from Greece and Serbia.
Macedonians Still Active.
This Macedonian organization. al
though completely out of favor with
the Sofia government. has by no
means ceased its activities. Only the
other day the writer had a call from
Macedonian who told him that the
Macedonian organization had merely
changed it's policy. Instead Of de-

PARIS, France. June 1s.-From a
competent source the writer learns
that in the Wiesbaden conversations,
Walter Rathenau took occasion to
propose to Louis Loucheur the forma-
tion of a gigantic Franco-German
trust or cartel. including the principal
industries of . both countries and
dividing between them without any
competition whatever the share OF
the worlds foreign trade they can
capture.
This is not considered here to be
a new policy, for William II had
already proposed it before the war
Imperial Germany was always trying
to form an alliance with France
which in effect would gradually have
become some sort of annexation.
Similar Purpose Suspected.
1t is now suspected that something
of the same kind was in the back
of Herr Rathenaus mind. for Ger

greater than that of France and the

the whole affair has not gone beyond
