CONSIDERED UNFAIR

The latest British Trading witl
Enemy Act which recently passec
parliament and is now in force li
considered unfair. The law prohl
bits doing business with any corpo

with the Teutons directly or In
directly. It will seriously affee
American trade.
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 25.—Parlia
ment is now In session here, and the
war a fruitful topic of discussion.
Those who bad suspected thai
Sweden was about to embark on c
warlike policy on any side had that
vision chaptered today beyond ai;y
doubt.
The keynote of practically every
speech, regardless of the party to
which he belonged, dellverod by
the members was the malntenace oi
the neutrality of the country at all
costs.
There was not one jingoistic ut
terance made In parliament today
even by the alleged pro-Teutoh court
party members, and many of these
spoke. They were as emphatic as
the rest in supporting the cause
which insists “that Sweden as well
as the rest of the Scandinavian pe
ninsula keep out of this bloody ana
suicidal war”.

of Lords passed the government's

STARVING OUT POLICY

which are being pursued by tho A)
lies on the west are a part of the
French program. France insists
according to this view on protract
ing the campaign with a view of
starving Germany materially and
physically. The longer the war
lasts the less will be the relative
efficiency of the'Germah fighting
force, and its supply of munitions
and food and material for war.
LONDON, Jan. 25.—Runclman of

sultatlon with the various interests
of the shipping and transportation
world, looking towards a curtail
ment of imports In certain lines to
effect a greater economy in the lifo
of the nation, and also to consider
the best means of checking Indirect
importations for Germany through
neutrals. The conference is con
sidered important.
BERLN, Jan. 25.—The final ac
tion of Greece will very much de
pend upon the decision of the pre
sent session of parliament. The
Deutsch Nacht-Rlchtlng says that
the present session sentiment is
overwhelmingly pro-German. The
members have been elected from the
party which has all along either fav
ored absolute neutrality or the eCn
■tral Powers. It is admitted that
there is & powerful section which is
not represented, supporting the side
of the Allies against tho Turks and
BuLgars whilo not so very much
antagonistic to the Teutons.
