g soldiers OF the guard in Kristiania
gave the people chance to show
their feelings toward men OF the army.
The origin of the trouble was highly
Mdicrous. June Sth was set aside as
"children's day." and all sorts of fun.
ny schemes were employed as means
of raising money for the poor children
OF the city. The driver of a con-
spfcuous float was lady student
named lngeborg Sather, who was
dressed as a soldier of the infantry,
and inside the float were some other
young ladies dressed as nurses and
holding babies in their arms. This
arrangement suggested the traditional
fondness of soldiers for nurses, and
as the float passed near a group of
soldiers. OF the guard they stepped up
to the float, stopped it and proceeded
to remove the uniform worn by Miss
Sather, in order to show that they re-
sented what they looked upon as an
insult to their calling In a few Sec
onds the public was seized with fit
of rage on account of the action of
the soldiers, and a free-for-all fight
was the result. Many persons re-
ceived slight injuries. The police
succeeded in separating the two par
ties. AS the soldiers reached their
quarters, however, the crowd was
close enough to lombard the barracks
with stones until there was hardly a
single window left in the building
The feeling against the soldiers proved
to last longer than the excitement of
an ordinary street row. Without any
people gathered the next evening in
the neighborhood of the barracks of
the guard, and the damage done by
the smashing of windows amounted
to several hundred dollars. The
newspapers agree that the soldiers of
the guard who caused these demon
STATIONS have done great injury to
the prestige of the army.
Queen Maude of Norway has innu-
merable hobbies and recreations,
many of them being of a very useful
and practical nature. She devotes
many hours to sewing, wood carving
and bookbinding, and in regard to the
latter work has turned out some really
beautiful specimens of the craft
Like Queen Alexandra, her mother,
Queen Maud is very skillful with the
camera, while such is her skill in out
door sports that she is her husbands

Egede-Nissen, Soclal-Democratic
member of the Norwegian storting,
has caused a great sensation thruout
the Scandinavian peninsula. Minister
OF War Lowzow wrote a foreword to
pamphlet by the late General Stang.
This pamphlet proposes series of
forts along the west side of the "neu-
trail zone" between Sweden and Nor
way, and the present minister of war
seems to endorse the plan. If the
NorWegians build such forts the
Swedes will of course act similarly,
and the purpose of the neutral zone"
established by the treaty of Karlstad
will, be largely neutralized, the only
difference between the old and the
new system being, that the two rows
of forts will be further apart thar
before. Egede-Nissen improved his
privilege as a member of the stort1ng
by asking Minister of War Lowzow
to explain himself fully on this sub

penGcntly-held caucuses to discuss
the situation. At first Lowzow re-
fused to explain himself, but the other
members of the cabinet exerted such
pressure upon him that he finally
yielded to the extent of promising to
answer the questions of Egede.Nissen
behind closed doors. This shows the
seriousness of the situation better
than anything else. On account of
the Pentecost vacation the matter
was postponed for few days, but i'm
portant events are expected as re-
suit of Egede-Nissen's ''interpella-
tion."
Edward Wavrinsky, the Swedish re-
former, expressed himself as follows
on the separation of Sweden and Nor
way: II am sorry to say that feelings
of hostility, owing to the manner in
which the separation was accom-
plished, have not entirely died down
in Sweden. These feelings, however,
seem to be confined largely to the
politicians and to the newspapers.
The masses of the people, l think,
realize that the. separation was the
best possible thing for both countries.
Certainly it's effect on Sweden has
been -electrifying. In all quarters a
new energy seems to animate the peo-
pie of Sweden. They are branching
out in commerce and industry, and
Sweden is taking larger share than
ever before in modern times in the
diplomacy of Europe. may say that
there is the friendliest feeling be-
tween the Good Templars of the three
Scandinavian countries and that their
friendship has done much to make
possible a Swedish-Norwegian rap
