War News Mailed By United Pre$s Men to the United Slates

BV WM. PHIkfP SIMMS, (lulled Pre Staff rrmpoa4rat.) STOCKHOLC, Nov. 7 fby- mail). Pesplte the fact that the queen of Sweden r German and the crown princess, her daug-hter-in-law. is English, it. is ii they never have clashed over tne war. The cjueen of Sweden, formerly Irlnes of Baden, has the reputation of hina one of the most intelligent

women in Sweden. Iom the start of the war sup has been a center of proGerman sentiment. , But the Crown Princess, formerly Princess Margaret of Connaught, is said to be the most tactful of women, and the combination of intelligence and tact has prevented a rupture between mother-in-law and son's wife a relation notoriously hard to maintain. It is said here that for some weeks

now, the. queen la no longer a active as formerly eh was reported to be. Until some fnree months ago she had ns her right bower her kinsman, eon of a daughter by morgantlo marriage. Prince Douglas of Luifwig, of Bavaria, and therefore as German as she. His death w a distinct loss to pro-Germans.' As Marechal of the court his influence was great, and It was through him mostly that the queen exerted an Influence on the politics of Sweden as they bore upon the war. The University of Upsala. oldest and most influential in the country, is another center of conservation and proGermanism. This is perhaps because the university graduates belong to the "ruling classes" or nobility, and the nobility seems to see something menacing to itself in the destruction of the ruling nobles of, Germany. . Rut If queen, court, army f circles and the nobility, or "ruling classes," of Sweden are pro-German, why did not Sweden long ago Join the war on the side of the Central powers? I asked this question of a number, of men bankers, editors and business men. Summed up, the reply was this; The bulk of the population of Sweden is democratic in the extreme. Tnere is even a fairly strong current In Sweden favoring a republican form of government. ,Once a year, regularly, some one gets up in the legislature and proposes-a republic He is not howled down. He is not hanged es a

traitor. He Is not imprisoned for les majesty. To the contrary, he Is listened to quite as though he were proposing the building of a post office at Haparanda or Increasing the tax on tobacco. A debate follows a warm debate various members of the body of lawmakers stating their views on tne subject. Then conies a vote and the republic Is defeated. This shows the absolute democracy at ttfe bottom of Sweden. The United States, too, have rome influence on the national mind, although the "ruling classes" would scarcely admit It. "Tne population of Sweden outside the big cities." . a ' Swedish editor remarked, "knows more about the United States than : they do about any other country. And most of them know Chicago, Minneapolis, New York and other American cities better than they do Stockholm. The reason for tnifti Is plain. 'Many Swedes have gone to the United States. They have met with success there. They like the country. So they wri?e home glowing accounts of ' the great country, tne cities and towns, and tell the folks at home how this and that is done in the states. All this has a direct influence. It may not be ' pressing (and aggressive, but it is constant. Sweden is ure to become a republic some day. ' Not because it wants to copy any other nation, but because the whole tendency of democracy Is in that direction and Sweden, 'heart and soul, is democratic. I don't

mean we are groin? to have a revolution or anything like that. Nor do I mean that we are going to become a republic next week. "Ve will simply evolute into a republic, do it by vote of the people, by the consent of the majority. For, belieie me, the majority ha? its say in Sweden, and perhaps that is why the queen, exceedingly intelligent tiiough she is. and all the court officials, nobles and "ruling classes" have not had any great influence on placing Sweden on the side of Germany. Like the United States, most Sw-edes do not want war. And. though there was danger at one time, of Sweden going in, I believe all danger past now."

By Anabel Worthington. A woman to-day 'is only as old as her gown concedes, we are told. While there is more than one way to achieve a youthful and stunning effect in an afternoon drees, the illustration shows 'one of the

best for this season. The plain waist is well set off with a handsome collar of contrasting goods, dewending to the waist line in back in a point and tassel tipped for noTelry. The sleeTe shows its fulness gathered in at the wrist, where a frill cuff finishes. The two gore skirt is prettily draped with a four gore tunic that is made with a gathered heading and pleated at each side. It is effective with a cord or ribbon lacing at centre back and front, as pictured. Wool embroidery has first place in fashion's favor for trimming such frock, and while separate motifs are employed, the band effect is strongly indorsed. Braid, of course, is next in rank and may be substituted, If made "of broadcloth or velvet, combined with another chosen fabric, -a . dress of this character; may be worn with furs, without a coat, on milder days.. It will form a pleasiirg change from a winter suit. For wear under a coat an afternoon, frock may be fashioned of charmeuse, taffeta, vepe or similar weave. - - - - The dress pattern, No. 8.0S1, cuts io sizes 3M2. To make in size 36 requires S yard-j 40 inch goods, with yard 33 inch contrasting and '2i yards Tibbon. To o&taiD the pattern send 10 cents to the office of this publication.
