HOPING. FOR A COMPROMISE
CONVICTION PREVAILS THAT
WAR WILL NOT BE PERMITTED
BY THE POWERS.

London, Sept. II. = Prof. Harald
Hjarne, a member of the Swedish
riksdag, in an interview yesterday re-
garding the Swedish-Norwegian stu
alton, said he did not believe there
would be war between the two coun-
tries. 1t was his opinion that Norway
would agree to the demands of Swe-
den regarding the demolition Of the
Notifications on the Norwegian from
tier, and that an arbitration treaty
would be arranged. Should arbitration
be resorted to, he said that Sweden
would be willing to propose two mem
bers of the court of arbitration, that
Norway would propose two, and that
President Roosevelt would be asked
to propose a fifth.
The Associated Press is officially in
formed that there is no truth in the
report that Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe has been asked to arbitrate the
questions in dispute between Sweden
and Norway.

ri do not believe" said Prof. Hjarne,
discussing the situation, "that any
country stands so close to the people
of Scandinavia as the people. of the
United States. The president of the
United States is the chief of an alto
gether disinterested power, and if we
ask the president of the United States
to aid in the arbitration of the differ
ences between Sweden and Norway
no one could object, as he is looked
upon as the universal peacemaker. If
the present negotiations fail, there
will be deadlock for time, but if
the Norwegians cross the frontier of
Sweden we must defend ourselves"
Tension Grows Greater.
Christiania. Sept. II. - 1t is semi
officially announced that military
movements now being conducted by
the Norwegian government are mere.
ly the customary measures for reliev-
ing the garrisons of the Notifications
and permanent camps.
The tension here is greater than
ever. All during the day crowds
filled the streets in front Of the news
paper offices, eager for news from
Karlstad. The fact that the confer
ence has again adjourned is regarded
as good omen, and the feeling OF
pessimism, which has long prevailed,
is giving way to hope that war will
be averted, especially as it is believoa
here that Norway has the moral sup
port Of the government Of Great Brit
ain.
A strong conviction also prevails
that war will not be permitted by the
powers.
Owing to the stand made by Nor
way, it is expected that an arbitration
treaty will be secured and a compro-
mise will be arranged regarding
Sweden's demand for the dismantling
OF the fortresses. 1t is expected the
negotiations to-day will be decisive
and the result is looked forward to
