AND TELLS THE ENTENTE SO Relations Are Regarded as Somewhat Tense; Tiouble Grows Out of Britain's Policy of Seizure of Mails, NEUTRALITY OF SWEDES NOT LOYAL, IS CLAIM New Point of Contact Is Out growth of Belligerent Ship ping In Her Territorial Wa ters, Is Report, IRV MORNIM IOUBN,. RRCCIAL I V A R I O Wlftfl London, Sept. 22. The relations be tween Sweden and the entente powers are attracting unusual attention here and there Is every indication that the situation threatens to bee, me some what tense. With the dispute as to mail seizures still unsettled, there now has arisen the charge by the entente that the neutrality of Sweden is not so loyal and Impurtial as it should be. This has drawn from Stockholm a re ply as tart and crisp as some of the notes in the. mall controversy, which were characterized by Viscount Grey as containing words not usually found in diplomatic correspondence. Confidence is expressed In the tact and ability of the British minister to Sweden, Sir Ksnte-Howard, to handle Cleat Britain's Interests, for he al ready has done much to smooth over many point! Of friction that has aris en since the war begh. Sir Ksme has l en given full authority to act In the mails dispute ami is co-operating with the other entente diplomats at Stock holm in making representations as to the latest matters in controversy. New point d oil tact, The new point of contact with Swed en is the outgrowth of the practice of belligerent hipping in uaing Swedish territorial waters for all Baltic traf fic Within the safety of this neu tral three-mile limit, KliKllsh and oth er ships of the entente nations have sailed defiantly Into and out of the Battle, ,e,L pwytftg the h, ig litest heed tn the Herman fleet looking on from the outer waters. Similarly, Herman ships have sailed up old down the west coast of Sweden, heavily laden with foodstuffs and iron ores, while Russian destroyers in the northern reaches of the Baltic have been Impo tent to act. This practice placed a heavy re sponsibility upon Sweden and kept her fleet busy day anil night patroll ing the territorial waters in protec tion of the belligerent traders, des pite which precaution! there were several violations of the Swedish neu trality. Public sentiment in Sweden was aroused and the government de termined to mine the waters of Ko- grund channel, leading out of the sound into the Baltic. Sweden also Served notice that her naval com manders had been instructed to fire upon all submarines found prowling within the three-mile limit. This pol icy scarcely, had been announced, when news came of the successful trip of the Deutsehland from Bremen to Baltimore, and there arose the question as to whether Swedish war ships would fire at sight of a German merchant submarine, or whether they would only fire at entente allied sub marines, knowing these powers were not using commercial underwater boats. further Complication-. The situation was further ooniple at 'd by a later determination of the Swedish government to close the Ko grund channel to all except Swedish vessels. Then the entente allies decld Bd to protest. According to reports received here, there was much excite ment in Stoc kholm when the entente allied note arrived, and it was promptly described by the pro-German papers as an ultimatum. The entente allies protested that in reserving exc lusively to S;edlsh mer chant ships the track across the mine fields established in the Kogrund Channel, Sweden had closed the only route by which English, French and other entente allied vessels could pass Into and out of the Baltic protected 'row attach by German naval forces. n the other hand, the note pointed " 1 " U Swedish government not only left open in territorial waters between Kalamar strait and Lulea: a route which is accessible only to Swedish 1,1,1 German ships under the new ar rangement, but further assured " 'lose vessels the protection of an es 1 "rt against the Russia,. r,..var force. Submarine Situation. W,th regard to submarines, the British protest declared that Sweden appeared to establish between the un dei -water bouts armed for war pur Ses and other submarines, a distinc- fn, in virtue of which eo -called sub fcrtnei of commerce, a type not em -'ed by the entente allies, might th Impunity navigate Swedish terri '1,1 waters beneath the surface.
