Stockholm, Sweden, August 26.— If Sweden and England come to a satisfactory understanding regarding Swedish imports and the transit of | ® ing will not be reached through any Swedish concession or alteration of her demands to be treated as a neu- tral nation enjoying the freedom of the seas, according to the statement made today to The ociated Press by Eric de Trotle, President of the Royal Trade Commission, former Minister of Foreign Affalrs, and at present member of the English-Swed- ish commission ensaged in attempt- ing to settle the trade dispute. “Sweden cannot and will not sur- render to English demands restrict- ing her commerce,” said de Trolle, “in order to help England in her industrial war against Germany.

Wants. Strict Neutrality. “If she permits the transit of sup- plies between England and Russia and joins in an attempt to prevent the transit of supplies to Germany she is becoming an important base of supplies for the allies and is at the same time really entering into the war against Germany. Sweden's modest desire is to be allowed to carry on her normal industry and to ob- serve a strict neutrality—which means helping neither side in a mili- tary or industrial way, to the exclu- sion of the other. In this point of view she differs with the TUnited States which is supporting England alone. Sweden does not consider this a real neutrality. Her position, from which she will not recede is an ab- solutely neutral attitude toward all combattants. “It is logical therefore that we should hold up supplies destined for Russia while England’'s stoppage of our imports of raw materials inter- feres with our industry and trade with Germany. We are sorry that Russia is forced to wait for her sup- plies which have accumulated here but while our ships are being held in English prize courts, We think the action entirely justifiable. Primarily Political Question. “It it were only a commercial aues- tion, Sweden might find it possible to yield to England’s demands, but since it is primarily a political ques- tion of not allying ourselves with cither side, we cannot yield. We are, however, not hopeless regarding the solution of our dispute with Englan. Sweden is not unconscious of the English viewpoint or the necessity which compels her to adopt her pres- ent attitude regarding the shipping of materials to Germany. She wishes to restrict our imports as much as pcssible. Both our members and the English members of the commission have recently made proposals which may lead to a satisfactory adjust- ment of the question of restricting our imports. “There is no quarrel about the ex- port to Germany of our own home manufactures or of the articles which are not placed on the Swedish pro- hibitory list—although England may think that the export is excessive— But I may say without violating the secrecy of the negotiations which are still under way that the chief obstacle is the question of the excep- tions which we are bound to make to cur prohibitory export list in the way of special licenses granted to Ger- many. In order to get supplies which are absolutely necessary to us, we must give in exchange to Germany some of the articles on our forbidden list. It troubles the English because we cannot produce statistics showing the exact amount and character of goods shipped to Germany under these conditions. The publication of such figures would lead to obvious difficulties. Partisan to England. “Moreover, we cannot guarantee, as England would to have us do, that supplies will not under any con- ditions be sent into Germany. Not only would we suffer from not being able to get what we need from Ger- many, but we would then be partisan to England. “As to the assertion that our im- ports have increased beyond our own capacity for consumption since the beginning of the war, this is not generally true. Our poor harvest and cur inability to get grain from Rus- sia and other supplies from Germany has, of course increased our exports from other countries, But even if our exports have increased we do not recognize England’s rights to in- terfere with our commerce, Not Military Articles. ‘Most of Sweden's exports to Ger- like nected with military affair. England cannot ask us to cut down our meat exports to Germany, for that is one of our chief industries. The kind of copper and the thin hides which Sweden sends to Germany are not available for military purposes. Nor can there be any criticism of our timber and wood pulp exports to Germany. All these are the products of home industry, and most of the things which we send to Germany are for the civilian rather that the scldier.” ‘When the attention of Mr. Trolle was called to the fact that no sup- plies destined for Germany were ar- riving in Sweden and that therefore the question of allowing equal privi- lege of transit for supplies for Russia and those for Germany could hardly arise he replied that that did not alter the case sinse if it were not for Eng- land’s interference with her com- merce supplies would find a natural | transit through Sweden into Ger- many. BIGAMISTS’ CASE CONTINUED. Aged Actor Held Under $2,000 In North Branford. North Branford, Sept. 22.—Charles Frazer, 50 years old, an actor, was arraigned before a justice of the peace here yesterday charged with bigamy. His case was continued un- der $2,000 bonds until next Tuesday. He was arrested last night on a com- plaint made by a woman who claims to be his wife. Frazer came here some time ago with a young woman given out that he was a retired actor and intendea, with his young wife to make his home here. They had been promi- nent in the social affairs of the town. The woman with whom Frazer has | been living here was also arrested | charged with misconduct. She said she was Ada A. Broster. The complainant in the case says | she and her husband were playing a theatrical engagement when he met Miss Broster and that an acquain- tance developed which resulted in an elopement. l o13e oa ¥ Building Constitutions It requires a good constitution to withstand the ills that man is heir to.

Peking, August 20—Surprise has been caused in Peking by the appear- ance of a presidential order making wholesale charges of grafting and in- efficiency in the management of the railway from Peking to Kalgan, g line that has been the pride of the Chinese people ever since it was bulit in 1909 and which from the first days | of its operation has been remarkably | profitable. The road was con!trucb“ ed under the direction of Chinese en- | gineers and has been operated entirely by Chinese factors which made the | people particuiarly proud of the en- terprise: The line is the gateway to Mongoliag, dispiacing the camels and donkeys which formerly brought wool and other products to the capital. According to the report of the min- ister of communications there have been gross irregularities in the pur- chase of coal for the railroad, in the sale of passenger tickets, and in the extortion or private and illegal prof- its from merchants by railway em- ployes. President Yuan Shi-kai's order, based on the report of the minister ©f communication says: “It is impos- sible to conceal the fact that in thei administration of the ®aid railway | ¢discipline has been set at nought. The new director, Liu Shih-shun, of this railway, is hereby ordered to effect a fundamental reform in the admin- istration of the said railway so that a clean atmosphere may be created. He shall perforin his work fearlessly and encregtically and we shall bear all responsibilities of his task. “Kuan Micn-chun, the former di- rector of the rallway, has been in the railway service for many years. Yet he has passively allowed the staff to commit irregularities and let the mer- ¢hants cheat the government with- out toking any vigorous measure to remedy the corrupt conditions. There is no excuse for his fault in this re- spect, but as he has already been dismissed from office, he is leniently dealt with and no more is to be said about him. The recommendations of the ministry regarding the dismissal or degradation of the various mem- bers of the staff are approved. Some of them will be closely watched.” President Yuan Shi-kal completes his order with a plea for honesty on (he part of railway employes that the government {reasury, in a time of fi- nancial stringency, may have the full benefit of railway earnings. “While it is desirable to select capable tecH- nical men,” he says, “it is also nec- | essary to secure men of pure and high | morality.” A.
