SO far the DEBORAH Posten and the dis
patches. 1t Is evident that King Cs
car even though he does not enter
tain any ennity towards the Nor
wegian government could not as their
forkor king adopt any other course
and 1t is extremely doubtful II the
Norwegians would expect him to
show any different attitude. As Tar
as the diplomatic relations Of the coun-
try are concerned they can best be ex-
pressed i'm the way In which GER
tain Norwegian paper speaks Of the
Swedish minister to Norway. 1t says;
"Herr Gunther the Swedish minister
to Norway, has been provided with a
comfortable home in Christiania at the
expense Of his government which has
bought an estate for 100000 crowns In
q desirable part Of the city. The
building will be enlarged and re-
modelled according to plans by a
Swedish architect. Minister Gunther
in a recent interview In a Swedish pa
per says that he has been shown the
utmost consideration in Norway and
declares that he has not seen a sign
OF antipathy toward Sweden. More
over. he ventures the opinion that the
story OF prosecutions against Swedes
are unfounded, at least, no complaints
had ever been made to him."

grounds for believing that Henrik ID
