sation.~ The author pronounces the
opinion that the dissolution OF the I'M
ion between. Sweden; and Norway was
anly the prologue Of a great historic
drama which will be played when tho
present crown prince of Sweden shall
have become king. Sweden, he. says,
will build naval stations on the west
ern coast of the kingdom, against the
protest Of Norway which at last will
declare war after having prepared for
1t for years. Sweden, however, is
ready to fight. The war opens with b
naval battle outside of Gothenburg,
In which Swedish submarines destroy
many Norwegian vessels, and the rem
nants Of the Norwegian squadron are
orlVen back; make a sortie, but are
bottled up in the Fjord of Kristiania.
On land the Norwegians are vic
torlous at first, invade Sweden and
are driven back across the frontier
only after hard fighting. Then Swe-
den calls out all her reserves, and the
NorWegians are defeated time and
again, and at last Kristiania is invest
ed on all sides. Swedish blue Jackets
In submarines sacrifice their lives and
clear the ford Of mines, the larger
vessels steam up and destroy the en-
tire Norwegian navy in sight of the
capital. Kristiania capitulates and
swedish colors are hoisted over Aker-
shus. The book has created bitter
feeling in Norway, and it has helped
only little that the author is said ). to
have been repremanded by King o.
car The official organ of the Swedish
government says of the book: I'VE
had our reckoning with Norway In
1905. Whether We like it or not it is
more than bad taste, it is criminal of
a Swedish officer to give the world the
impression that Sweden is thirsting
for revenge"
'The Society for the welfare of the
Brother Nations was an organization
started few years ago for the cult1-
walton Of better feeling between the
Swedes and the Norwegians. A few
men worked hard in the interest of the
movement, but it did not receive much
attention from the public at large,
and some eighteen months ago the
dissolution of the union came almost
like clap Of thunder. That event
virtually sealed the doom Of the So
ciety for the welfare Of the brother
nations. A few days ago the Swedish
section Of the society held it's last ses-
sion in Stockholm. About a. dozen
members were present, and a resolu-
ton was passed to dissolve the So
c1ety. There was about $500 in the
treasury. The money had been given
to the society by Baron Ludwig Won
Platen, and according to the wishes Of
his heirs it, was given to the chill
dren's training schools of Norrbotten
The resolution to dissolve the society
was reported to the Norwegian branch
and the records of the society will be
turned over to some official Swedish
institution. This event marks the
contamination of another failure to
cement the Swedes and the .Norwe-
CLANS together. by perfectly peaceful
but artificial means.
