NORWAY.
Christiania.

Judging from recent election returns
the Norwegian government trimphed
in the parliamentary elections, al
should be no loud rejoicing over a vic
tory until the storthing has been con
vened and the governments strength
revealed by actual vote. Elections
have taken place in 122 out Of 1913 dis
tricts into which the country is
divided. The results are as follows:
The new coalition party, A seats:
~lefitists friendly to the government.
81; straight leftists. 80; socialists, IL.
From this alignment 1t appears that
the government has eighty-one votes
to an opposition of forty-one, assuming
that the socialists and the extreme
leftists will act In concert to oppose
the governments plans. 1t is general
ly recognized that an effort will be
made to form the leftists into one com
pact group for the purpose Of securing
complete control of the government.
They have the votes without any ques-
ton. At the same time many Of the
members of the party were elected on
the distinct understanding that they
would support the present ministry in
its plans and they may not be willing
to follow the lead Of the radical wing
Of the party. The sessions Of the new
storthing are likely to be exceedingly
interesting. The radical leftists. like
Castberg and Konnow, will have much
to say as will the socialists, who are
now eleven in number as against FIVE
in the last storthing. 1t may be noted
that the coming house will contain for
ty-six members who had seats In the
last house, nineteen who have had
seats In former storthings and fifty
who are fresh from the people. Among
those who have been reelected or have
had previous experience are: President

CHINA ADOPTS NEW RULE
students studying Abroad Must Take
Thorough Course of IRstrue-
tiOn Before Returning.

WASHINGTON, Nov. z9-sIr Chentuhg
IAang Cheng, the Chinese minister, says
there is much Misunderstanding about the
action OF China in limiting the number of
young Chinese students who are to. go into
Japan to complete their education.
There are about 1900 Chinese students in
Japan and of these perhaps 5000 are Chinese
young men who have been highly educated
in their home and are in Japan to study for
few months preparatory to becoming
teachers in China. The minister says this
system of having young men take such a
brief course in japan has not been satisfac-
tory either TO the Chinese or the japanese.
The universities in Japan did not care to
have men take brief courses and then pose
as having been prepared especially for some
line OF work of which the institution made
a speciality Neither did this sort Of prepa-
ration prove satisfactory to the Chinese,
consequently the Chinese government has
decided TO forbid the provinces sending
young men for such short courses and will
insist that three or fouc-year courses be
taken by students going to the japanese
schools.
The Chinese minister attaches no impor-
tance whatever to reports from the Orient
that China Is about to boycott Japanese
goods and expressed the opinion that this
rumor may have risen out Of the misunder-
standing Of the Chinese governments ac-
tion concerning its students going TO Japan.
