THE NoRwAY-swEDEN CRISIS.
French Intermediation Suggested by
Member of Tho Harue

PARIS July 11--Baron D'Estournelles de
Constant, the French member of The Hague
peace tribunal. has written letter to
Premier Rouvier urging French intermedia-
ton in the conflict between Norway and
Sweden. The letter says in part:
THE governments of Europe abstained
from Offering their good Offices to Russia
and Japan, with the result that the United
States has the honor of this benehcent In
PREVENTION. Previously the same European
governments abstained from recognizing
the existence OF The Hague convention,
thus leaving to the United States the honor
of initiating such recognition. Today q
grave conflict has broken out between Swe-
den and Norway.
Without thrustfng ourselves into the
conflict we cannot remain Indifferent to
our duty to ourselves and to all Europe to
prevent the spread of violent connagra-
ton. The relation of France toward Swe-
den and Norway insure a sympathetic well
come to words of Cancellation from you. /,
therefore, ask In the name OF a great num-
Der of French and foreign parlamentarians
that you give your powerful authority to
this pacific effort, which will receive an APP
proving echo from the governments Of
