ANTHRAX-INFECTED SUGAR
Swedish newspapers recently announced the discovery at Kiruna, in the north of Sweden, of sugar containing anthrax bacilli. Among the malpractices of the members of the von Rosen gang was the smuggling into Finland of jnthrax-germ-infected sugar. The authorities believe that the sugar now discovered belonged to three Finns, who were expelled from Sweden last April, although there appears to bo no reason to connect them with von Rosen. The newspapers state that the three Finns referred to, who arrived at Kiruna in March, declared that they were in the Finnish Battalion and had come direct from Germany and were proceeding to llussia. Later a box of sugar was discovered in the yard where they were arrested, and on examination it was found to contain minuto glass tubes partly filled with anthrax bacilli, and animals inoculated with the contents died of anthrax.
