NORWAY.

Three Norwegian engineers have
been engaged to stake out new rail-
way line in Argentina
eminent had not even been notified
as to whether the banner had been
used or not used at all in the parade
for which it was intended. At any
rate, the government could we'll at
ford to have the matter ventilated,
for the course of the government had
to finish.
The case Of Carl Konow, the Uni
tartan assistant pastor of Sandwich
parish, Bergen, has entered a new
phase. The supporters of Konow
wanted to have him appointed dean
of the parish. But Bishop Erickson
threatened to resign in case of the
appointment. Now the minister of
church, .Seip, has appointed Rev. Aal-
vik of StavangeE to the position, on
condition that he shall not interfere
with the work of Rev. Konow as as
sistant pastor. This compromise does
not satisfy either party. BY this time,

Minister of Justice Castberg, the
radical member of the cabinet, came
with flying colors out of what was
expected to prove a serious dilemma.
Some laborers in Finmarken were per-
mitted by him to carry a banner with
the following inscriptions: Down
with the throne, the altar and the
money power:" His opponents in
tended to corner him by asking FOR
an explanation in the storting. The
matter was brought up in that body,
he demanded all immediate ventilation
and disposal of the whole matter.
They had figured on a postponement
and were not prepared to argue along
any definite line Instead of trying
to put off the matter. however, they
consented to an immediate discussion,
in which they were really worsted by
the minister of justice. He started
his defense by stating that on general
principles he was opposed to the use
of force except when it seemed abso-
lutely necessary. In the present case
he had found no such necessity. Nor
was the motto contrary to the letter
of the constitution. The constitution
prohibits the suggestion or employ
ment of unlawful means for the
overthrow of the government, but no
such means were mentioned in the
motto. His most telling argument
was that he could point to his course
as very successful one from prac-
tical point of view. If the authorities
had prohibited the use of the banner
in question, those who favored it
would have made great fuss and
would have had fine chance to pose
as martyrs. Now that those people
were left alone no trouble whatsoever
had been reported during the six
weeks that had elapsed since the mat
ter was first brought to the attention
of the government. Indeed, the gov
