Movement From Northern Europe In
tended to Bring Nations Closer.
Word has been brought from Den
mark of a movement. to become world
wide, which is taking form through the
organization of an association called
the Vikings. says the New York Times.
The first national council already form
ed in Copenhagen is composed of some
OF the most representative and best in
formed men i'll the Danish capital. It's
chief present object is fair and free
discussion of great questions intimate
~ affecting the northern nations of
Europe, such, for instance. as the pro-
posed closing of the Baltic by Ger
many and the publication to the world
of the results of such discussions.
Ultimately it is planned that associ-
atoms of Vikings will be established
| in every country, national councils be-
| ing planted on the greatest ceHterS-
New York in the United States. Lon
| don in England, Buenos Ayres in Ar
gentina. etc.-and subordinate councils
| in smaller Centers. When this has
| been accomplished, the discussion of
| the Vikings will take wider scope.
AS wrought out down to the present
| the plan Of the Vikings as a world or
| ganiZatiOn includes central council
of dozen or n score to be established
in London and to be REINFORCED by
representatives from each nation. Each
national council is to be chartered Gy
this central council. which is also to
charter such subordinate councils as
may be recommended by the national
councils. The first steps in the fOrma-
ton of the central council have already
been taken. as they have also for the
establishment of national councils in
France. Germany, Austria, India, Italy
and Canada.
a coordinate organization, the Vik-
inG.' Daughters, is Included in the
plan. The movement has already been
brought to the attention of number
of distinguished men and women il
New York city, and it may soon take
definite form in national council OF
the United States.

united are the exception, and it is al
most impossible to name one where
charges of grating and rottenness are
not openly made by some faction
against another faction.
These republican feuds are disgust
ing the honest voters of that party, and
it is evident that it will be more and
more difficult to get all the elements
necessary TO success combined on who
ever is nominated. The bitterness en-
gendered will also affect the nOmina-
ton and election of the local tickets,
and there is where the democrats will
have a great opportunity in some OF
the doubtful states and congressional
districts
But to take advantage of these differ
ences amongst republicans the demo
Gratis must unite, and while cleaving 10
the essential principles of democracy
can afford to compromise or lay by
their disagreements on policies until
they have defeated the common enemy
