sen sang vocal solos, the orchestra OF
the National theater played, and a
number of moving pictures from the
field maneuvers were shown. During
d pause refreshments were served in

Haakon Loken demands a rule pro
hibiting foreign warships from pass
ing inside the forts at Kristiania, Der
gen, and Trondhjem. Last summer
he says, vast European war was or
the point of breaking out along the
coast of Norway, and just at that very
moment German warships lay inside
the forts. At the decisive moment
four or five German warships NIGH
have imposed any terms upon the
Norwegians, and the forts would have
cut no figure at all. A repetition o.
this incident must be prevented. For
eign ships Of war must be kept out
side of the forts. Germany never per
mits foreigners to enter Wilhelmsha
fen or Kiel. It may be said that thu
condition last year was accidental
But it was a happening that looked
like a thought The situation is tn,
more difficult because the harbors o
said cities cannot be reached by tn
Jaws of the forts. It requires skill
and tact to enforce a rule like tn,
one demanded by Mr.. Loken, but h
asserts that the country needs it an,
must have it.
