SWEDEN SHOWS
RECOVERY FROM
WAR s EFFECTS
Export of Timber and SaWn
Wood Is Now 81 Per
Cent of Peace-time Fig
ureS, Report Reveals.

Stockholm, Aug. 26.--That SWe-
den has definitely survived the
postwar crisis, and is one of the
first nations in Europe to show a
natural and consistent recovery,
appears from the monthly report
on the foreign trade of this coun-
try during June. which has just
been issued.
The export of timber and sawn
wood, a staple commodity, has
grown so rapidly that the volume
is now 81 per cent of the peace
time figures, At the end Of June
the timber sales were close to
100000 standards, which is con-
siderably more than half of the
normal yearly output. The export
of matches is 95 per cent OF the
pre-war normal, and 1t Is encour-
aging that the export of iron ore
has even surpassed pre-war fig
ures by three per cent. AS regards
wood pulp and paper, which
America buys from Sweden in
large quantities, the figures for the
month exceed the 1913 figures for
the corresponding month by 18 to
10 per cent. Incidentally 1t is re-
ported that one reason why the
quotations on sulphite pulp are
high is the increased demand from
the United States for the manu-
facture Of artificial silk. News
print, which is shipped in great
volume to America, shows an eX-
port figure 72 per cent above that
of 1918.
In the line of manufactured in
dustrial products the quantity OF
electrical machines and apparatus,
ball bearings. and telephones is
nearly three times that of June,
1918. Cream separators and mo-
tors have risen to 50 per cent of
the pre-war figure.
A similar indication of prosper
ity is seen in the increased imports
of raw material needed for Swe-
dish industries. American dealers
in copper will be interested to
know that Sweden's imports OF
that metal have reached 81 per
cent of the pre-waf' figure.

RADICALS GLAD
Famous Musician Gives Up
Politics in Poland, Where
He Has Been a Prominent
FIGURE.
CBy The Associated PressJ

Warsaw. Aug. 26.--The an
nouncement given out in Paris by
Ignace Jan Paderewslli, the world
known pianist and former premier
Of Poland, that he had retired
definitely from the political life of
Poland, has caused varied COM
ment here. The radicals are re-
lieved, as politically they feared
his return; the nationalists hope
it is not true.
They argue that Paderewski is
too great a patriot to stand aloof
from Poland during the very inn
portant elections of November, on
the 9Th, of members of the diet
and on the 18th of members of the
senate. Even should he return to
music at the present time, they
say, sooner or later he will have
to resume his career as a Polish
statesman. Paderewslii has been
away from Poland for two years:
but in spite of this absence he still
has great prestige here, and many
faithful and loyal followers. The
nationalists are still trying to per-
suade him to return to Poland for
the election campaign.
The radicals, it is believed, will
advance General Pilsudslli, sthe
present chief of state, as their cam
didate for the presidency of the
republic. The nationalists have
not vet any candidate in sight; il
Paderewski returned he undoubt-
edly would have their support.
In the meantime reports from
Switzerland, where Paderewski
has been staying recently at Nor
jes, describe the former premier
as devoting himself to his music.
and convinced in his own mind
that. for the present. he has decid-
ed upon a course of action which
is the best for his country and
himself.
At Morjes Paderewski practiced
many hours day in preparation
for his concert tour in the United
States which is set to begin in No
vember. He has played little dur
ing the past five years. Once was
on the occasion of his wife's birth
day in 1919, at his hotel in War

California last spring. On the lat

played much without notes. wait

tain Economic and PoIit-
iCaI Control of Hawaii, is
SoCiety's Claim.
LBn The Assnelnlrd prn.s ]

Honolulu, 7. H., Aug. 26.-State-
ments made by proponents of the
Hawaiian labor relief bill now be-
fore congress, at hearing in
Washington before the senate i'm
migration committee that Japa-
nese are attempting to obtain eco
nomic and political control of
these islands "are grossly eXagger-
ated If not wholly unfounded," ac-
cording TO an official statement
issued by the Japanese Society Of
Hawaii.
we are at loss TO understand
why the representatives with their
earnestness to push through the
labor emergency bill, imputed
upon the Japanese in Hawaii such
charges as that they are ambitious
to assume the economic monopoly
or to gain the political control Of
the territory" the statement said
ANY one who is familiar with the
actual situation will say that those
charges are largely fantastic fears
without reasonable foundations.
we also wish to take exception
to the statement that the Japa-
nese in Hawaii can not be assimi-
lated, Many facts show how the
japanese in Hawaii are making
efforts toward the Americanization
OF their people with the co-opera-
tion of American friends. The
japanese language school bill was
by the japanese
themselves and aimed at the CO.
operation of japanese citizens with
the Americans to educate the
American youths of Japanese an
cestry, in accordance with Ameri-
can ideals.
Especially are the Americans
OF japanese ancestry gradually but
solidly bearing the fruits Of Amer
icanization. A large number OF
them are already quite familiar
with the American way of living.
They really take pride in being
loyal citizens of America

without any embarrassment to
anybody, it was announced to-
day by the management of the

nobleman and his wife, who
formerly was Miss Anna Gould
of New York, and Fred. SEQ
bey. director of the United
States mint, who is at the
hotel in what is was announced
today is a presidential suite and
not the presidential suite.
The management did not
want to ask Scobey to remove
but it wanted to take care OF
the duke and the duchess as
well.
SO it developed that there
are two or three other suites
like the presidential suite and
consequently both Mr.. Scobey
and the nobleman and his
party will be fixed up"
Thus ends pleasantly q sit
uation which at one time SEEM
ed fraught with complications.

LOrient, France, Aug. &c tby
the Associated Press. 1.-The bat
tleship France, $4,000 tons, one OF
the prides of the French navy,
struck a rock off Quiberon bay in
the darkness of 0hrly morning to-
day and went to the bottom in 4
feet of water. All but three OF the
500 officers and men and crew
were rescued from RATS and life
boats launched from the battle
ship before she took her final
plunge.
The wrecked warship was one of
four French battleships of the first
line, returning from night maneu-
vers to her anchorage at Port
Haliguen. when at / O'clock this
morning she ran on hidden rock
lying rs feet below the surface. a
great cash was torn in the steel
hull of the dreadnaught. She re-
mained afloat an hour, giving the
crew enough time for hurried es-
cane in boats. Then the doomed
craft slowly settled, turned on her
side, and went down, She lies on
the bottom and is considered to-
tai wreck.
The wreck occurred in the tor
tuous waters of Quiberon bay,
about 90 miles southeast of here
on the Brittany coast. The swift
currents abounding there are sup
posed to have swept the wafshtp
slightly from her course. The de-
Election was sufficient. however,
to carry her squarely and hold-on
over the pointed rock known and
charted but dangerously concealed
beneath the water in this part or
the bay. The water rushed into
the hoId, flooding the boilers and
short circuiting the electricity.
The engine crew quickly took every
precaution to avoid explosions.
Meanwhile, the crew began
launching boats while awaiting
help from her sister dreadnaught,
the Paris, and mary torpedo
boats ard other small craft. whtcF
had been asked by wireless for
help. The crew got off safely be
fore the dreadnaught slumped
over on her side, and the four
hundred officers and men, atloat

District Attorney Van Cise today
made public additional details OF
the coup which resulted Thursday
night in the wholesale arrests.
j. Frank Norfleet, of Hale Cen
ter, Texas. who sprang into fame
when he ran down the notorious
Furey gang, was the man around
whom all the plans OF the ,oeal Of

Posed As a "Suckef."
Norfleet, according to the dis
trict attorneys story, came to Den
Yer August II, on the reques, ~
local authorities and posed as
wealthy sucker" at a fashionable
Denver hotel.
He did not have to wait long be-
fore he was approached by two al
legged confidence men" who un-
folded to him plan whereby he
was to win large sums of money by
specializing in oil stocks. 10 these
men he gave the name Of Frank
Mulligau.
Norfleet, who was in constant
with the district at
torney's office, pretended to fall
for the bait and accompanied his
new acquaintances to a room in
down town office building.
This office, Mr. Van Cise eX-
planned, was rigged up with all the
paraphernalia of regular brokers'
office and while Norfleet was in the
room the proverbial "conIe-on' man
entered and "won" $4,000 on the
same oil stock which Norfleet had
been urged to play.
Norfleet was the allowed to play
the market on "credit" basis. He
was successful, but was tod he
could not receive his winnings I'M
til he put up certain amount of
cash to show his good faith
Norfleets greatest difficulty was
experienced at this time when 1T
was necessary to stall" the alleged
confidence men while the district
attorneys office perfected plans
for the contemplated raid. Mr.. Van
Cise said. In order to accomplish
his Norfleet feigned a severe tooth
ache and refused to take any action
until he felt better. A fake doc
tor was brought into play to make
The ruse more realistic and as
result Norfleet was able to hold up
until the district at
.orney was ready to make his ar
tests.
