ing the serious attention Of statesmen
i'm all three Of these Scandinavian
countries.
Up To few months ago such a com
bination was considered out of tn,
question because of the friction be-

union was dissolved in 1905
If Sweden joins such an alliance il
will be because of the so-called Rus

countries and it will take some great

The feeling that such an alliance
will come is very strong in Norway
one of It's strongest prophets is the
arctic explorer Dr. Fridthjof Nansen
who believes that the understanding
will come as soon as the necessity Col

way and Sweden seeking such an ALI

TURK SOLDIERS MUST EAT
With KNIFE AND FORK

Constantinople. May 16.-Not since
it's supposedly invincible battalions
were rolled back by the Bulgarian ad-
vance at Lule BurpaS has the Turkish
army experienced greater shock than
the order issued by the new Secretary
of War; Envers Bey, that hereafter all
Turkish soldiers must eat with knife
and fork. The enlisted men are not
only alarmed at the prospect of hand
ling the strange implements. but are
hurt by the intimation that faithful
hands, which have always served the
primary purpose of conveying food 10
their mouths should he deemed no
longer tit for that useful service. The
Turkish private is not proving an apt
pupil. When his superiors are absent
he squats upon the floor and devours
his food in the good old fashioned way,
but at the approach of an officer he
scrambes to a seat at the table and
falls to welding his new weapons with
all the skill he can command.
The civilizing process is not to stop
with teaching the Turkish soldier
table manners. The cdict has also
gone forth that he must learn To read
and write.
