UNION OF SCANDINAVIA.
Promotion of Better Relations Be-
tween Sweden and Norway.

tween Sweden and Norway.
Stockholm, March THE Swedish
and Norwegian committees of the union
of Scandinavia reported to parliament
today. The Swedish committee recon-
mends a common foreign minister who
can be a Swede or a Norwegian, but
not a member of parliament. He is to
reside in Stockholm.
The Swedish committee also proposes
the creation of a foreign council Of
state to be composed of ten Swedes
and two Norwegians, and that the for
eign minister be Improbable before the
supreme court of the kingdom. and that
finally the diplomatic and consular re-
port be common in both countries.
A majority of the Norwegian commit
tee recommends that each country con-
tribute towards the expenditure of the
foreign ministry in proportion to the
population of both countries. for Is
years, and then that each country be
entitled to demand a dissolution of the
consular union.
The minority of the Norwegian COM
mittee recommends a separate foreign
mission and separate diplomatic and
consular representation.

FIFTY MILLIONS FOR WAR
CONTINUED From Page u

present there is not enough ammuni-
ton on hand for one refilling beyond
that on board. a single refilling costs
100000. Each of the battleships car
ries 400 tons of ammunition. With the
amounts on hand and the refills which
are being calculated on, the navy
would have an ample supply of am
munition, even If the ships were called
into frequent action. Naval officers eX-
plain that refill will last through sew
eral engagements, owing to the limit of
endurance of men while in action. If
the guns could be worked constantly, a
refill would. be exhausted in one heavy
engagement, but the guns, as well as
the men, have their limit of endurance.
These considerations have all been ia
ken into account in the rough esti-
mates that have been made as to the
refills requisite for the American fleet.

While the attention of the public

cause it was certain that dissensions would
occur which would result in incessant strife, and
a lapse into barbarism and the natural indo-
