greater fury in their work of ruin
and death, and

principles of “Friendship, Love and
Truth," and teaches that man should
love his neighbor as himself, and

GERMAN PLAN
MISCARRIED
WAS SHOWN BY CAPT. NELSON
OF ONE OF THE CHARTERED
FREIGHT STEAMERS
NEW YORK, Nov. 29—Only a
few of the several vessels which
left American sea ports early in
the war with supplies for German
cruisers, figured at the beginning
of the trial of employes of the
Hamburg-American line of steam
ers. Since then, another has been
added to the list, that of the Nepos,
a Norwegian steamer. The prose
cuting attorney put Capt. Neilson
on the stand and brought out the
fact that his boat had sailed from
Philadelphia August 22, 1914, with
supplies for German cruisers; al
though it had cleared for Mon
rovia.
The Captain testified in part as
follows:
“My supercargo, Mr. Fleuhr, 'oV
me that he expected to meet a Ger
man cruiser,” Captain Neilsen said
“I learned later that the cruiser
was the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse,
which was sunk some time after
ward by the High Flyer. Fleuhr
wanted me to go to Cape Verde isl
ands, but I told him would not do
it.”
It developed that captain and su
percargo both had their own ideas
of where they were going and that
the captain refused to obey the
supercargo’s orders to go to this,
that or the other place in the At
lantic, but held his course for
Africa.
This course was via Teneriffe.
There they stopped. The super
cargo balked and angry, told the
captain. to sail no further, but to
lie to in the harbor. It was vir
tually the only order of the super
cargo that was obeyed. For five
'months the Nepos tugged at her
anchor there. Then she sailed
home, empty, her charter canceled.
“How did you dispose of your
cargo?” the witness was asked.
"A fire spoiled some,” he said.
"Some was sold to British agents—
there were British warships there—
and some went to the German con
sul.”
The defense admits that the Ham
burg-American line chartered the
I Nepos.

MOVED AND SECONDED
Saturday Evening Post
Paul Armgstrong says a 'lawyer
acquaintance of his, who lives in
Seattle, was retained to defend a
darky accused of absconding with
the funds of a colored debating
society. The outlook for the de
fendant was rather black.
At the trial the attorney for the
defense arose, as soon as the
charge had been read, and said:
"Your Honor,I move that this in
dictment be dismissed-”
Before he could proceed further
his client was on his feet, too, ad
dressing the Bench without a trace
of embarrassment.
“Your Honah," said the defend
ant briskly, "I seconds dat motion.”

SWEDEN APPEARS FEVERISH
By Hobart Corey
PARIS, Oct. 30—Russia is ex
ercising one of her “soverign rights”
vin the Baltic. She is fortifying the
island of Aaaland, within thirty
miles of the Swedish coast and n+
the mouth of the Gulfs of Bott'i ■
and Finland. Sweden is protest
ing. Germany would protest if
there were any probability that pro
test would be heeded under pres-m
conditions. England and Fr'.nce
battered down the Russian fort or.
the island of Aaland in 1854, but
they now concede that their ally has
a perfect right to do as she pleases
"It means war some time” said
an acute observer of Swedish birth.
“Perhaps Sweden will not join
hands with Germany just now. But
the time will come when Sweden
and Germany will force Russia to
dismantle those forts or fight, pro
vided that Germany is in a position
to make threats when this waT
ends.”
The English and French papers
have paid some apparently slight
but really thoughtful attention to
the situation, while the Swedish
papers that have reached this citv
seem to be "full of it. M. Hjalmor
Branting, an eminent parliamen
tarian, is quoted as saying in an
interview that Sweden is very "un
easy.”
“We do not know exactly what
has happened,’ ’said he. “Aaland
is most important. Permanent forti
fications whether laid by Russians
or Germans cannot be accepted and
Sweden will demand most energet
ically that the islands remain un
fortified.
Germany is in no position to for
tify anything just now. The Swed
ish protest must therefore be di
rected to Russia. No protest a
mounts to anything nowadays un
less backed by force. It is highly
improbable that Sweden will void
her neutrality now, however, to join
with Germany.
