with the essence of diplomacy.
PLAYED Tennis With King;
Tells of War Makeshifts.
The Minister spoke of the 1900
600 Swedes in the United States,
who by their industry, inventlveness
and honesty had helped to develop
this country-making it richer-and
as he expressed it, safer for civilized
existence. The great popular move
ment which grew up in Sweden at
the end of the last century and
which converted the old Swedish
constitutional system into modern
democracy, was inspired, he says, to
a great extent by former emigrants
to America.
For recreation the Minister likes
tennis-has often played with King
Gustaf, Europe's royal tennis cham
nion-has a sense. of humor when
he tells about the war makeShlfts
his country is driven to, such as
the great cooperative bakery OF
Stockholm which keeps its SO de-
livery trucks running on the alchollc
vapors produced by the fermenta-
ton of it's dough. The gas is stored
in strong metal cylinders. In Sweden
the horses eat fir-oats mixed with
the cows thrive on it, too-a case
thhe COWS thrive on it, too--a case
of green spectacles. They do not
give much milk though.
Mentions Help His Country
Gave TO Fighting Firms.
It was Just a pleasant morning
talk we had with Mr.. Bostrom: He
did not discuss the many dreadful
situations growing out of the war
in Europe, but he did speak with
some show of feeling of the help
his country had been able to give
Finland in munitions, food and
other supplies during the first six
weeks of the war with Russia.
It will be remembered that for
hundreds of years Finland was a
part of Sweden. About 10 per cent
of Finland's people consider Swed-
ish their mother tongue; much OF
the business of the country Is con-
Quoted in that language, and the
popular theater in the Finnish cap
ital Is Swedish. The cloSeness OF
the ties which exist between the
two countries was evidenced by the
$500 Swedish volunteers in the
Finnish Army who were completely
armed, equipped and uniformed and
paid by Sweden and led by Swedish
officers. With the volunteers went
200 Swedish doctors and 400 nurses
who served in Finland, and in addi-
ton more than 1900 Swedish la
borers joined the volunteer labor
brigades which from the middle OF
February until the fall of 1910 took
part in building new defenses in
Finland. To these volunteer serv-
ices the government of 100000
Swedes added some $90,0OO,000 in
credits, money and delivery OF war
materials.
Mr.. Bostrom spoke of the dawn Of
q new day which must follow the
darkness in the Scandinavian coun-
tries. Just as three brothers of diff
ferent temperaments, separated in
youth and reared under different
conditions have a common heritage
and q similarity of outlook and
taste, so have these countries of the
midnight sun. To this family was
added distant cousin-Finland

Those colonists were pioneers in the

1t is often said it is the blend of
Viking strength and French grace which
makes Stockholm unique among Scan
dinavian cities. 1t must be this blend
of virility and ease of manner which
is so much a part of the Swedish Min
ister's personality that has made him so
popular with Americans during the Is
years he has represented his country here

ruddy complexion and deep blue eyes

noticeable in any drawing room, and while
he has served his King, Gustaf of Sweden,
