STOCKHOLM, Sept, 23.—That there ts fowling againat the United States in Sweden because of the attitude of the American Government toward the belligerents of Europe is indicated by some remarks Madé to-day by Eric de Trolle, former Swedish Min- ister of Foreign Affaire, President of the Royal Trade Commission and member of the Anglo-Swedish joint commission which is trying to settle the trade disputes between Sweden and Great Britain, “Sweden's desire,” said M. do Trolle, “is to observe a strict neu- trality, whicn means helping neither side in a military or industrial way, to the exclusion of the other. In this point of view she differs from the United States, which is supplying Engiand alone. Sweden does not consider this a real neutrality. “Sweden cannot and will not sur- render to English demands restricting her commerce, in order to help Eng- land in her industrial war against UYermany, If she did this, not only would Sweden suffer industrially her- self, but she would become virtually an ally of England. ‘The tast consid- eration is the more important, since Sweden would no longer be a strictly neutral nation, “It is logical, therefore, that we should hold up supplies destined for Kussia while England's stop; of our imports of raw mate: iY plies which have accumulated here, but while our ships are being held in English prize courts we think the action entirely justifiable,” GERMANY TO LAY NEW MINE FIELD —_—_ Will Protect Outlet to Waterway Connecting Baltic With North Sea.

During the night three hundred men were kept on the job. Great arc lights were overhead. Down in the pit the steel girders were lng burned Into small sections with acetylene torches. Back of the lines established by the police thousands surged until after midnight. At Twenty-fourth Street two der- ricks had been set in place, one at each efde of the excavation, At the north end of the chasm at Twenty- fifth Street a huge ateam derrick was at work.

Sixty-seven German submarines, twenty-eight of which are declared to have been of the newest and latest construction, have been sunk and their crews destroyed by the British navy since the fifth day of May It is stated on positive authority that the full capacity of the German shipyards for undersea boats is not more than three a month, but that, even if Germany were able to replace her submarines as fast as they had been destroyed, the most grave situ ation she faces in regard to this method of warfare is the actual de struction of the morale of the of cers and crews of such vessels. MYSTERIOUS FATE MAKES BAIL- ORS FEARFUL. It is declared that while the saflors who man German submarines are as brave and efficient as those of any nation in the world, the authorities have been unable to keep from them the facte with regard to the myste- disappearance of dozens of eub- ire crews, and that this condition has brought about @ practical panic among all men in this branch of the service, who not only believe that when they leave the Protection of their own waters .hey Jare going to destruction but who have not understood how that de- struction was being brought about.

It has been known that great quan- Uties of wire have been shipped from jthe United States, and that very large orders for similar material have been filled in british factories, This wire has not been used in the manner suggested. The operations which have resulted in the practical elimination of the German submarine navy have all centred about the fact that the periscope of a submarine, particularly {when travelling in seas that are jrough or choppy, has a very greatly | restricted range of vision, This range ;4t the most in clear weather is not more than one mile, except when there are vessels using fuel which makes smoke, when the range of vision {s increased to from three to rome the t has beon taken full - ‘vantage of.
