CLAIMS HUNGER WILL
DEFEAT THE GERMANS
SWEDISH TRADE JOURNAL TELLS
READERS CENTRAL POWERS
CANNOT WIN WAR.
STOCKHOLM, June 24.—The Swed
ish Trade Journal, Affarskarlden, rep
resenting the best business interests
in Sweden, prints a remarkable edi
torial commenting on the war, in
which it says it is time for the Swedes
to realize that the outcome cannot be
favorable to the central powers. The
article says:
“The food question in Germany is
bad and much worse than the Swed
ish people generally think. Swedish
conception as to how peace will be
concluded have not taken sufficiently
into consideration the importance of
the campaign of starvation against
Germany.
“The central powers cannot ob
tain a peace advantageous to them.
It is said in a long German article
regarding the disposition of food
that the butchers are unable to sup
ply more than one-third the normal
quota and that' Germany in the very
near future must feed her people
chiefly on vegetables. Even if it is
possible to train the population to a
vegetable diet, this cannot be done
unless there is plenty of bread, but
ter and eggs and turnips, beans and
such other vegetables, but none of
these, not even potatoes, can be had
in the quantities and people require
them. Especially there seems to be
a lack of bread, beans, peas, butter,
eggs, rice, oats and all the nourish
ing vegetarian foods. As a matter
of fact there is a greater lack of
these than of meat.
“According to an article in the
Berlin Boursen Courier, a large
number of housewives in cities can
not get sufficient food for their fam
ilies and consequently central kitch
ens are the last resort. It is ob
vious that such a state of affairs
cannot go on year after year. It is
in this condition that we have the
nearest reason for the reckless of
fensive at Verdun and the attempt
of an offensive at sea. It mav seem
out of place to discuss these things
in a business paper, but the subject
is one of the decisive issues of the
war, and all business speculation
must adapt itself to the outcome of
the war.”
Swedish business interests are gen
erally supposed to be friendly to Ger
many, as for many years trade with
that country has outweighed that of
any other and this article in the rep
resentative trade journal warning bus
iness men as to the outcome of the
war is regarded here with much in
terest.

WORK ON RAILROAD
BEGINS AT TALKEETNA
ANCHORAGE, tune 24.—The Alas
kan engineering commission have
started active construction work at
Talkeetna. A party of ten men were
started in at Montana Creek and about
thirty at Talkeetna. At the present
time the commission is operating one
river boat, B. & B. No. 1, from Susitna
station to Talkeetna. As soon as the
large boat arrives from the Sound
it will be placed on the run from
Anchorage to Susitna station, where
a transfer point has been established.
It is also the intention of the engineer
ing commission to establish a number
of caches from 'Willow Creek north to
Talkeetna. The railroad will parallel
the Susitna river from Willow Creek
northward, and the average distance
from the river to the road will be
about five miles. This will make it
possible for the commission to trans
port supplies from their caches along
thet river to the railroad this winter
on the snow.

RUSSIANS PROFIT
BY WAR’S LESSONS
THE BIG SMASH AGAINST THE
AUSTRIANS ONLY BEGINNING
OF CAMPAIGN.
_
LONDON, June 28. — The Times’
Petrograd correspondent sends the fol
lowing interview with General Brush
off, commander of the Russian forces
fighting the Austrians and Germans:*
"The speedy successes we have at
tained are not the product of chance
or of Austrian weakness, but repre
sent the application .of all the les
sons we have learned in two years
of bitter warfare against the Ger
mans. In every movement, great or
small, that we made this winter we
have been studying the best methods
of handling the new problems which
modern warfare presents.
“At the beginning of the war, and
especially last winter, we lacked
the preparations which the Germans
had been making for the past 50
years. Personally I was not dis
oourugod, for my faith in tho Huoalan
troops and in the Russian character
was an enduring one. I was con
vinced that, given the munitions, we
should do exactly as we have done
in the past two weeks.
“On our entire front the attack
began at the same hour. It was im
possible for the enemy to shift his
troops from one quarter to another,
as our attacks were being pressed
equally at all points.
“The most Important fighting has
been in the sector of Rovno. Here
we have made our greatest advances,
which are striking seriously at the
strategy of the whcle of the enemy’s
front in the east.
“If we are able to take Kovel
there is every reason to believe that
the whole eastern front will be
obliged to fall back, as Kovel is
really the center which has been ex
traordinarily useful for intercom
munication between the Germans and
Austrians.”

For the same uses as the gasoline
torch, but giving a much hotter flame,
a torch using compressed acetylene
gas has been invented.
