signed petition to secure the Nobel
prize for Richard Bartholdt, member
Of congress from st. Louis. Repre-
sentative Burton of Ohio, member OF
the interparliamentary council, is head
ing the movement. The honor is
sought for Mr.. Bartholdt because of
his services In behalf of the interna-
tional peace movement. Mr.. Bar
tholdt's zeal in promoting the cause Of
peace is known and appreciated in Nor
way, especially among the members of
the Nobel committee and other men of
peace. But it Is not likely that he will
be awarded the prize this year. The
probable winner Of the prize will be
one of Sweden's foremost champions
| of the peace movement or Baroness
Bertha Won Sutner. And when Amer
ica's turn shall come Mr.. Bartholdt
may have to yield to another distin-
guished Observation-Disclosures Roose-
welt.

All Scandinavian lovers OF music
will be panied to learn of the illness
Of Edward Grieg, the great Norwegian
composer. Says The Politiken Copen-
hagen: Edward Grieg is seriously i'll
at the Hotel Phoenix Nine Nina

to her husbands wants, has now ac-
] cepted assistance from a number of
her friends, being completely worn out
from work and anxiety. All Scandi-
navia, and the entire musical world,
! for that matter are anxiously looking
! fer favorable change for the better

Mr.. Aurthur Wilson, Swedish Nor
wegian consul in Portland. Ore. died
few days ago at his home in that
city, aged 90 years He has lived in
Portland during the past thirty-two
years and was popular and generally
respected citizen. Mr.. Wilson was
born in Stockholm and emigrated as
young man to America In the early
ffties. In 1889 he was appointed
Swedish Norwegian consul, a position
which he has held ever since, and has
perhaps done more for the Scandi-
navians In his state than any other
man.
| Scandinavians I'm this country are

OF interest. Although 1t sometimes
sounds threatening, few II any look
for any real serious breach from the
other side. Judging from the Scandl-
ravian press 1t seems to be the general
belief among Scandinavians that the
differences between the two countries
will be adjusted, and 1t is believed
that settlement OF the consular dis
putes may soon be looked for.
Count Alfred Robert Cronhjelm,
whom his friends In Sweden believe is

Mont. About two years ago he lived
In q small town, Dillon, Mont, under
an assumed name. In Sweden he has
fallen heir to large fortune and his
many friends on the other side are
eager to locate him.
Perhaps the most democratic cabinet
Of any Of the European countries at
present IL the one in Denmark. Pres
