Fourteen men, members of Captain
Roald Amundsen's expedition to the
South pole,s arrived in Christiania
some time ago and we're given a
grand ovation. They were wined and
dined, were made the object of a great
deal of attention and were literally
written up in all the Christiania
papers. Conspicuous among the party
were the four mon who accompanied
Amundsen himself to the pole. Amund-
sen is expected to visit Christiania at
some future date and he will be given
royal reception.
Recent dispatches state that the &C
ton of Norway in taking steps to in
crease her navy seems to receive the
approval of the people of Sweden and
Swedish papers deny the. statement
that Norway and Sweden are arming
against each other. Some of the
Swedish papers hold that the two
countries should both increase their
navies and thus be better able to
maintain their position among the
other nations
