NORWEGIAN ARMY
AT WINTER DRILL
MARVELLOUS FEATS PERFORMED
ON THE SKIS.
Norsk Soldiery Go Thru Drills at a
Season of the Year When Armies of
Other Nations Are Housed in the
Barracks-Other Nations Take No.
tice.i ..--':..

No other army in the world is so
well prepared for a winter campaign
as is the little Norwegian army, be-
cause none other has been so well
trained to the use Of skis and to cam
paigning in severe weather. Nearly
all European armies have their ski. -di-
vision, but the rank and file is not given
the drill under arctic conditions, as are
the soldiers of Norway.
The skill attained in handling the
ski is marvellous, and the evolutions
OF a command mounted on these long
wooden skates is more interesting than
any other feature of military drill.
10 ski runner moving along with
his long, gliding movement, one would
not suspect that he could "about face'
almost as quickly as a soldier in the
drill hall. The first sight of ski com
pany obeylng command to bout face
is bewildering, and the thing must be
repeated several times before the spec
tator will understand how it is done.
Even then he will marvel how the men
can get around so quickly.
The Norwegian soldiers are taught
to do long marching carrying with them
provisions and artillery, and think moth
ing of long march in the most rigor-
GUS weather, making their homes in
their canvas tents at night. Their skis
enable them to make their way over
any kind of country, and no matter
what the depth of the snow, cover a
given distance in much shorter time
than the average infantry on the
march.
Of late the ski work of the Norwe-
gian army has been given much con.
sideration by the military students
who. realize that there is much more
than an entertaining outdoor diversion
| in the use Of the Norwegian snowshoes
1t is for the same reason that every
country having snow in winter is edu
eating its soldiers to do effective work
IN that portion of the year which is
usually spent in garrison.

FRANCE WAKES UP
Coming to Regard Ibsen as a Classic
WRITER

Henrik Ibsen, without ever having
been popular in France, is one of the
few foreigners recognized by the
French as classic writer. The French
people are so conservative and exclusive
them as Europe's Chinese, and that Ib.
sen has won any recognition is in itself
remarkable.
1t is doubtful if Ibsen s plays have
been as well translated into French as
into English and German and it is quite
certain that they have never been as
we'll staged as in Berlin or. London, and
this may be the reason that he is not
better known. Still he is being more
and more cultivated and may come to
his due in time.

NORWEGIANS NOT TALKING
Swedes More Interested in the Con
sular Question:.


In Sweden the, Norwegian question
is debated much more than in Nor
way, for the reason that the Norwe-
gians have announced their ultimatum
and will not retreat, while the Swedes
are much divided.
Several Of the Swedish papers are
criticizing Premier Bostrom for aban-
doning the negotiations over the sep
aration Of the consular service as an
act Of bad faith. The lead taken by
Hr. Staaf in the second chamber of
the riksdag is 1e-echoed from all parts
Of the country. When it is further
remembered that King Oscar wanted to
see the negotiations begun at the in
stance of the Swedish government car
ried to their logical conclusion, it will
be: seen that the Norwegians have many
friends in Sweden. p,

time take steps to create consular

RUSSIAN NlHlLlSTS.
The Tragedy From Which the Party
and Its Creed sprung.


Who was the first nihilistf How
and where did nihilism first start
These questions are answered in the
following narrative;
Exactly forty three years ago, when
MuravleH, the lieutenant of the pres
ent cars father, was carrying out
his cruel and barbaric crusade against
Poles, young student of that coun
try attending the University of Dorpat
returned home one day with half u
dozen companions. whom he promised
TO entertain in his fathers house.
They entered, and a CHASTITY spectacle
met their view. The whole family had
been massacred, while the mother and
sister of the young Pole had been
brutally treated by Muravieffs COW
ardly soldiers. drunk with vodka.
The students, who were Russians,
stood dumb with horror, while the be-
reayed boy sat down by little table.
His head rested on his left hand
while his right arm hung Imply by his
side. His companions expected wild
outburst of rage against themselves
and their country, but the boy did not
speak. He Just sat there, pale and
deathlike, while tears poured from his
CLASSY eyes.
One Of his friends went over to him
and, touching him on the shoulder,
said:
"Stanlslaus! Stanislaus! Come to
yourself again. and we will avenge
this wrong"'
But the boy did not answer. In
few minutes the tears ceased to flow,
the eyes turned upward. there was
heavy sigh. and Stanlslaus fell dead
from his chair.
The terrible shock had killed him.
Kneellng round the body of their
dead companion, the Russian students
bound themselves by n solemn oath to
work out the ruin of the tyranny which
had thus disgraced their fatherland.
They secretly met afterward, and their
creed was thought out and settled. 1t
was the result OF careful thought and
was not wildly absurd or hysterlcal.
1t was as follows: Liberty In rell-
glous belief. freedom of the press and
In public meeting. government on the
representative system and the redlstri-
button of property" To secure these
things they determined to resort to any
measures even assassination. And that
has been the creed of the nihilsts ever
since. --Pearson's Weekly.
