fortresses and the right of the Swed-

in Norway during certain seasons OF
the year. It. believed in many cir
cles that this question will be settled
much sooner than that of the demoli-
ton of the fortresses. 1t is further
understood that as a basis of agree
ment Sweden has promised to sign an
arbitration treaty as soon as Norway
is recognized as a separate state,
while Norway agrees to destroy all
the new frontier Notifications.

terview: SIN allowing the Norwegian
fortresses to stand, Sweden has given
in to a certain extent. A zone of neu-
trality on the frontier has been es-
tablished, however, so that Sweden
has gained her main point. Under the
new arrangement Norway's line Of
frontier defenses will be broken and
Sweden at most will have only to con-
struct fortresses outside the zone Of
neutrality opposite Kongsvinger and
