SCANDINAVIAN NEWS
PRINCIPAL Events Gathered In the
Old Scandinavian Countries

1t is the fact that for the first time
since the days of ancient Greece, a
government is conducting an Olym-
piad; building the stadium, supervis.
ing games and, more important still,
footing the bills. The fact that the
Swedish government is running the
games, marks an important epoch in
the history of the revival of this
historic event. The first games of the
revival of the Olympiad were appro-
priately held at Athens. The king
deputized the crown prince, the Duke
of Sparta, to take charge of the funds to
defray the expense Of the games where
raised by unofficial subscription. At
Paris and st. Louis there was no really
official supervision nor at London ex-
cept for the support of the powerful
earl's court. The status of this Olym-
pad is, accordingly, vastly different,
for not only is the Swedish govern
ment in complete control of the games,
but furthermore it is building the
magnificent stadium where the games
will be held and defraying all other
expense. While there has been no
official announcement regarding this,
it is generally understood that the.
fund supplied by the government
amounts to at least half a million dol
lars. The government officials also
appoint the members of the Swedish
Olympic committee.

Great Paul. the bell Of st. Paul's
Cathedral, in London, weighs nearly
II tons and is nearly 80 feet around.
The first big Ben" of Westminster

was made smaller, now being about
900 pounds instead Of ton. The
great bell, Peter of York." cost $10.-
900, weighs about Is tons and Is %
feet in diameter.
The largest hanging bell in the
world is in the great Buddhist monas-
terry near Canton. 1t is 10 feet in
height and 40 feet in circumference,
being cast of solid bronze. This is one
of the eight monster bells that we're

of eight men, who were killed in the
process of casting.

The Hamburg Fremdenblatt con
tanned an article branding the idea of
an allied Scandinavia as an exploded
dream. Several Swedish papers con-
tradicted this statement, and one of
them, namely, the Stockholm Alton.
bladet, takes the following broad view
OF the Scandinavian question:: Our
ing all the shifting winds of fate the
interests of the Scandinavian states
remain the same as they were deter
mined from time immemorial by the
geographical location and contiguity of
those states. Under all circumstances
we must endeavor to suppress every
thing that may excite the prevailing
GOODNESS into a really lasting bitter
ness and hostility. First and foremost
the foreign policy of the three Scandi-
navian states must have as it's aim to
preserve u neutrality during possible
conflicts. between other powers. All
energies must be bent on maintaining
this standard point. A n%eighborly
friendship must be established be-
tween is and all other powers. We,
Tor our part, wish to be, on good terms
with all of them. And one must not
forget that better and better relations
can be established between the Scandi-
navian countries by joint Scandi-
navian legislation in fields where they
obviously have common interests"
Prof. Pontus Fahlbeck, of Stock
holm, has written a pamphlet in which
he speaks in favor of joining the triple
alliance-Germany, Austria, Hungary,
and Italy. His contention is that Rus
STA is always wishing for ice-free
harbors on the Atlantic at the expense
of Norway, and that in case of Russian
expansion in Norway, Germany would
be very apt to endeavor to obtain
Jyllard from Denmark. r Prof. FAIL
beck's theory ID, that all the Scan
dinavian countries need to be united
against Russia. An alliance with
Germany would be a good check on
Russia. The suspicion against Rus
STA is based on the following points.
namely: The s%trategical connection
between the railway systems of Rus
STA and Finland; the purely strate-
gical cross lines through Finland; the
military roads in Finish Lapmark; an
order last fall to keep horses ready
for mobilization; the classification of
the laws of Finland; the reorganiza-
ton of the military forces of Finland;
the sending of Russian soldiers into
Finnish barracks; the colossal develop
ment of the Russian navy; the estab-
lishment of naval stations at Reval
and Ekenas; naval maneuvers in the
kvarken and other parts of the Gulf
OF Bothnia; the Russian spy traffic in
Sweden, etc. Prof. Fahlbeck finally
puts great stress on the fact that Rus
STA has already sent $4,000 soldiers
into Finland.

A consular report on cooperative
