NORWEGIANS COMPLAIN
 OF THE SLOW SHIPMENTS

Washington, August 25.-(Special.)- Consul F. s. s. Johnson Of Bergen cites a number Of examples in which lack of at tention to Norwegian orders is causing American exporters to lose prestige in Scandinavia. He says
 T believe that the complaints which have been made to me by importers of American goods ought to be made pub lo and if possible avoided in the future. In December last a prominent merchant of this city gave an order to a motor boat manufacturer in the United States, inolosed a draft for part payment, bal anoe to be paid on delivery of the boat at New York. This boat was to have been shipped immediately on receipt of draft. as the importer desired to exhibit 1t at the motor boat exposition now being held at Bergen. After a correspondence of several months he has just been in- formed of the boats arrival in New York and that no discount was deducted as agreed to in the terms of purchase. The has lost the importer the opportunity of exhibiting at the exposition, besides the orders promised him by several prom inent citizens of Bergen have been can celed and in all probability will be given to some other foreign motor company

ESIDENT AGAIN
 ATTACKS TAKERS
TIERS ON ANlMALDOM ARE ITlcISED FOR STATEMENTS REGARDING ACTIONS OF GER. TAIN ANIMALS.

New York, August 5.-(Speeial)-Pres- ident Roosevelt has returned to the fray in his way on the mature falsers." Ills first attack was in the form of an an- thorized interview, but the present as- sault carries the full weight of official authority, for the article is written by the President and will appear over his autograph signature in the forthcoming issue of Everybody's magazine.
 It is called forth by the spirited re- 1oinders of the Rev pr. W. J. Long of Stamford, Conn.
 The President says: "Of all these nature fakers the most reckless and least responsible Is MT. Long but there are others who run him close in the yellow journalism of the woods, as John Burroughs has aptly called it. It would take volume merely to catalogue the comic absurdltes with which the books of these writers are filled.
 There Is no need of discussing their theories the point is that their alleged facts are not facts at an,. but merely fancies. Their most striking stories are not merely distortions of facts but pure inventions, and not only are they in- Hentlons. but they are inventions by men who know so little of the subject con cerning which they write, and who to ignorance add such utter reeklessness, that they are not even able 10 distinguish between what Is possible, however mildly improbable, and mechanical impossblli- ties. l am dealing only with deliberate invention, deliberate perverson of facts. '
 Source of Peculiar Distress.
 It is a source of peculiar distress to the President that these mature fa5ers" do not frankly confess themselves writers of fiction, but actually pose as teachers of fact. Then he goes on:
 Like the white queen in Through the Looking Glass these writers can easily believe three Impossible things before breakfast; and they do not mind in the least if the impossbilties are mutually contradictory.
 Thus, one story relates how a vol with one bite reaches the heart of a bull faribou, or 6 moose, or a horse-a feat which, of course, has been mechanically impossible of performance by any lant carnivore since the death of the lasi , saber toothed tiger But the next story will cheerfuly describe a doubtful con test between the wolf and lynx or a bulldog, In which the latter survives twenty slashing bites.
 Now, of course. a wolf that could bite Into the heart of horse wou.a swallow q bulldog or Il lynx like q pill.
