SWEDEN IS FORCED
TO SHOWITS COLORS
Allies Clearly Intend to See
" That Germany Receives No
More Aid Through Neu
" tral Countries.
(By Aociated Prw.)
Washington, Sept. 11. While the
American government awaited de
velopments today, following Secre
tary Lansing's disclosures regarding
the transmission of official German
dispatches by the Swedish charge at
Buenos Aires, Washington officials
..and, .. foreign diplomats turned their
attention to a study of their possible
significance. -
Two' facts stood out clearly in the
minds of "most observers. Sweden
will be compelled to make definite its
position as a neutral and the exposure
may be. taken as indicating more ex
actly the-intention of the allies to
see that Germany shall cease receiv
ing aid from all the northern Euro
pean neutral countries.
Buenos Aires Sept. 10. Argentine
officials, according to newspaper ac-
counts today, are still unable to be
lieve that the dispatches sent to Ber
lin through the Swedish relation here
. were accurately translated. The for
eign office early today said that it
was without official advices from Am
bassador Naon or Amreican Ambas-
sador Stimson. Newspapers and offi
cials generally believe that the gov-
ernment will demand the recall of
' Count Luxburg, German charge at
Buenos Aires, but a rupture in diplo
matic relations with Germany is not
anticipated at present, the Argentine
government. preferring, it is said, to
consider the affair a personal one. be
tween the German and Swedish rep
resentatives here.

London, Sept. 10. Ph6tographs of
the, king and the royal family of
Sweden, Swedish soldiers and bird's-eye-views
of Stockholm are featured in
several newspapers under cross page
heads such as "Sweden's Exposure,"
"Sweden Charged with Breach of
Neutrality," while others carry spe
cial reviews of the entire course of
events.jn Sweden since the outbreak
of the war. s ,
One paper likens Sweden's position
to that or Greece a few months ago,
saying, "Its queen is German." The
Graphic in an editorial says.-
"We cannot view without infinite
regret the position into which Sweden

If detailed Tepbrts bear out the first
, dispatch they will signalize thi most
f notable ctitm1'" against submarines
1 since the 'war began.
The Westwego had an experience
with a German submarine .before the
.United Stages entered the war, hav
ing been attacked by one January 1
last while off the coast, of England.
It was proceeding from an American
port with a cargtf.of oil for Europe
when a submarine' fired five shots at
it from astern. , ( ,
The Westwego' s captain, J. C. Mul
coy, brbught.'liis vessel te a stop
and sent a boat with his papers,
whereupon- the German submarine
commander : demanded supply of
oil, threatening to sink the ship if
his demands were not complied with.
The submarine commander also de
manded that the vessel's $1,000,000
cargo ;o(. ; gasoline be thrown over
board, saying he would give Captain
MulceVItititit the next morning to
comply. Four barrels ol cylinder oilT
, were sent to the submarine and the
Westwego proceeded. It saw no more
of the submarine.
. The Westwego an oil tank steam
er, was built in Germany in 1914 for
Roumanian "Utcount under the name
of the $teauna Romans. Later its
registry was changed to American
and afterward its name was made
Westwego; vThe vessel was of 3.059
, tons- net and carried a crew of forty
two. Latest reports show it was
, in .an.'Americaa. port August 8 and
later sailed on a Transatlantic voyage,
commanded by Captain Mulcoy.

Leak in Senate.
,. Both the president, Dr..Irgoyen,
and the foreign minister are amazed
, how-tli e German charge, Count Lux
burg, learned of what passed at the
v 'secret session of the1 senate, as dis
closed by his dispatches, and an in

The foreign minister denied abso
lutely rthat Argentina ever entered
, into an agreement with Germany not
. to clear vessels beyond Las Palmas,
as stated by Luxburg, or made any
other' compact or agreement with
Germany or German agents.
Change in Swedish Cabinet.
London,, Sept. 10. In Swedish cir
cles in London the view is exoressed
that the revelations come just in time
to insure a big victory for the liberal
socialist block in the Swedish . elec
tions,, which are now under way and
: which will be continued until Septem--;

Troops Loyal to Korniloff.
By order of Premier Kerensky the
railroad track between Luga and Pe
trograd has been turned up in places,
gangs being engaged oii the work all
night. On fhe Petrograd side of
Luga are forces which so far have
stood firm for the government.
General Korniloff's main support
appears to be the so-called "sikaya,"
or "savage division," whichwas for
merly stationed at Pokoff and con
sists of Georgians and other Cauca
sus tribesmen, who are personally de
voted to Korniloft as a result of his
life-long interest in Asiatic affairs.
With this force are Tekke cavalry
men from the trans-Caspian territory,
whose wild appearance created a sen
sation when they accompanied Gen
eral Korniloff to Moscow conference.
According to the evening papers,
the "savage division" has occupied
Vuiritsa on the Windau-Ruibins rail
road. German Intrigue Succeeds.
London, Sept. 11 The Russian
crisis overshadows all else in the
news and editorial columns of the
morning newspapers.
"Germany may enjoy the satisfac
tion of knowing," declares the Post,
"that its sinister intrigues have pro
duced a cataclysm in the revolution,
which, in whatever its other results
may consist, must, as we continue to
believe, ultimately destroy and eradi
cate German predominance in Rus
sia." The Times says the outlook is dark
and that it affects the war on every
front, "for the allies begin to realize
that even in the most favorable cir
cumstances the revival of the Russian
military efficiency is bound to be re
mote." .
The Times declares that General
Korniloff is not a traitor and says
that if his ultimatum to the Petrograd
authorities on Saturday wa9 tanta
mount to dictatorship, it was evident
ly because he felt there was no alter
native left.
The Chronicle says it is obvious
that General Korniloff "would scarce
ly put a pistol at the government's
head on Saturday unless he believed
he could fire it,'f and adds that "the
immediate future should show
whether he can."
Kerensky Issues Proclamation.
Premier Kerensky today issued a
proclamation to the army, the fleet
and the nation, also to the committee
of the army at the front, outlining
the attempted'eoup of General Korni
loff through Vladimir Nicolaievitch
Lvoff arid the measures that had been
taken as a result . Regarding General
Lokomsky, the premier says:
"The chief of staff, General Lokom
sky, also proved a traitor. He re
fused to carry out the provisional
government's order to assume com
mand of the armies in view of Korni
loff's . dismissal, indicating to the
provisional government the possibil
ity of civil war at the front, the open
ing up of the front to the Germans
and the conclusion of a separate
peace. The government is in full
agreement with the executive of the
workman's and soldiers' deputies for
taking measures for the crushing of
the counter revolutionary plot insti
tuted by traitors lo their fatherland."

niciously active- among prospective
jurors.
A. W. Tiren of Stanton, one of the
contributors to the Kelly defense
fund, stated that on Monday a dark
complexioned stranger enter his4
store and was reading a newspaper.
- "The stranger," said Mr. Tyren
while being examined, "discussed the
Keltycase with another person in the
store and seemed anxious to obtain
an expression of sentiment."
Sutton announced he would recall
Tyren with the expectation of reveal
ing the name of "the mysterious
man."

Judge A. L. Sutton, who 1 defending
Rev. I.yn 0. J. Kelly, met the prisoner for
the first time during May, 1916, at Sutton,
Neb., where Kelly presided at a wet-and-dry
meeting and Introduced the judge, who
wa making his gubernatorial campaign.
"During his talk," related the Judge,
"Kelly had flashea of brilliancy. He was
pastor of a church at Sutton at that time."
One of the lawyers for 'the defense ex
pressed doubt whether Kelly would survive
the trial.
Judge Boles ordered that no mors photo

tion of the union to be the feratest
victory ever won by the packing
house workers of Ornaha. In fact, this
is the feature which, caused the unani
mous acceptance of the propositions
of the packers. Hitherto no packing
house man was allowed to belong to a
union. Since the strike started mem
bership in the local P acking House
Employes' union has increased from
103 to nearly 5,000.
Strikers Are Pleased.
Not a voice was raised against set
tlement of the strike on the terms
mentined. All the speaRers were in
favor of it and the vote was unani
mous, with a roar that fairly shook
the building, white none answered
to the call for the "nays." The strikers
plainly were relieved, after the day
filled with rumors that the packers
would grant no concessions and were
preparing for a long siege. ,"Back to
the smokehouse in the morning," sang
one man, as he clapped a fellow work
er on the back. Altogether, it was a
merry crowd that poured from the big
hall, after cheering Mediator. .Feick

The agreement reached, gtves the
strikers no increase in wages above
that offered by the packers in the first
days of the strike. But it gives rec
ognition of the union which the strik
ers and leaders consider of much'
more importance. The hiring of all
labor by one man in each . plant is
also a thing which has been desired
for a long time by the workers.
Predicts Big Increases.
Mediator Feick "declared that the
time is not far distant when, as a re
sult of government investigation and
regulation of the meat induftry along
with other industries important in
war, the men will receive Jarge in
creases in wages.
A notable fact regarding the strike
is that it has been almost without

arrest during the entire course of the
strike.

Protecting Our Patrons
-and the authorities feel that
have, in the past, occasionally gained entrance to resi
dences by presenting themselves as. meter readers or
the like, the people should thoroughly satisfy them
selves as to strangers' identity before admitting
them to the premises.'
Virtually this sam6 fctory appears from time to time in the big
city newspapers over the country as miscreants hit upon this method
..of making their way, unchallenged, into likely houses.
It is, perhaps, the fact that many a housewife instinctively senses
the danger, of some such plot by a prowler, and therefor is a bit in
clined to look upon any stranger with suspicion, more particularly one
in the rough and ready garb of a workman, who appears at her door
to request admission.
While there has been no local case of depredation such as out
lined above for an agreeably long time, Your Electric Service Com
pany desires to relieve the housewife of any possible uneasiness upon
the approach of its representatives, and to this end has furnished each
.outside employee a badge' which is a positive identification, as well
as a guarantee of the wearer's honesty and tnistwoitbiness.
In yet another way have we standardized the very appearance
of our service. Every vehicle in the large number which comprise
its "fleet" has been painted artillery gray, and may be readily
recognized thereby. Your Electric Service Company is plainly in
scribed upon its sides, and when such vehicle halts before the door,
and its driver wears the Nebraska Power Company badge, there need
be no uneasiness in allowing him access to the premises in accord
ance with his line of duty.
These are but two of the many ways in which we are safe-guard-.
ing our partners.
