SWEDE KING HURRIES
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—P. Osberg, a special messen
ger from the king of Sweden to the Swedish embassy in
the United States, arrived here today and in a tremen
dous rush started for Washington at once. It is known
that he is the bearer of a message from his king to this
country which is so important that it could not be en
trusted to the mails or the cable. 1 he contents w ei e sealed
personally bv the king and the document is believed to be
one of most momentous consequences. Naturally public
opinion assumes that is is connected with the war and that
before twenty four hours the Swedish ambassador will
make a most important communication to President
Wilson.
N. Y. EXCHANGE TO OPEN
NEW YORK. Nov. 24.—The stock exchange will re
open next Saturday for restricted dealings in bonds for
cash. After careful inquiries it is believed that no danger
is threatened by the re-opening at this time althoug 1
some people are still somewhat timorous.
GERMANS CONSERVE BREAD
BERLIN, Nov. 21.—The Bundesrath has issued a
decree fixing the price growers may charge for potatoes
throughout the entire empire. In Berlin and Brandenbuig
the decree says that bakeries, hotels and restauiants,
using wheat flour, must stop baking at 2 o clock in the
afternoon and must not make preparations for baking
of guests in inns. Cafes and restaurants. Similar decrees
that wheat bread may not be placed freely at the disposal
of guests in inns, cafes and restairants. Similar decrees
are expected in relation to other food stuffs to prevent
a shortage in case the war is prolonged

GOVT. MARINE FEASIBLE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—President Wilson stated
today that he does not believe enough foreign ships have
been taken under American registry to interfere with his
plan of establishing a government owned merchant ma
rine. The foreign orders for cotton now greatly exceed
the capacity of the ships available for carrying it across
the ocean.
FRENCH USE THE GUNS
CONSTRUCTED FOR JAPAN.
(By The Associated Press.)
PARIS, Nov. 23.—The French army
now has the use of the 105 millimeter
field guns built in France to add to the
artillery forces of Japan. When the '
war began, part of the guns had been
delivered and another large consign
ment was on the ocean.
Japan was asked by France if she
might take the guns. The Japanese
government cabled promptly placing
them at the disposition of France and
j announced that she was sending back
those already delivered so that the
French army might use them. The
■ vessel conveying the last consignment
j had already reached Colombo when it
was intercepted.
