whole world. The particular peril as
respect of future world policy lies first
ly in the danger to Britain which that
peninsula might constitute in the pos
session of great power, and, second
ly, by reason of the fact that it may
some day, rove lever in the hands
of the Teuton, which he may use to
drive the pathway Of his progress
wedgelike between the Anglo-SaXon
and the Slav. For it is clear that
while the present necessities of the
Russian people endure the Norwegian
littoral will constitute a constant
temptation to the Russian nation, and
that, as factor of political exchange
in respect of this national demand,
Scandinavia may some day provide

recourse to arms. Further negotia

two states from joining Denmark in
political entente or cOnvention-es-

wise and prudent policy and we must
hope that the present Norwegian
Swedish quarrel will not grow SO bit

such a course in the future
In Norway Emperor Williams
cruise in the Baltic has caused no eX-
element. The emperor is well known
in Norway, having cruised in Nor
wegian waters during the past six or

knows that he is a welcome guest in
Norway" says a Norwegian CORE
spondent, land he is welcome to visit
Scandinavian ports as much as he
likes so far as Norway has anything
to sayabout it."

The briefest address ever delivered
by a Norwegian and at this time
proving sigularly effective was the one
spoken by Byfoged Finne, who during
the initial tour of king Olaf was
called on for toast at the breakfast
table. His speech consisted of one
word: Nicholson. The effect was an
electric one. The breakfasters arose
like one man and cheered the speaker
to the echo.
