Norwegian medical men have taken
a leading part in the fight against
leprosy. The leprosy bacillus was
first isolated by Norwegian physi-
clan. DR.. Armauer Hansen, who was
elected honorary president Of the in
ternational conference on leprosy held
at Berlin In 1897, and president of
the second international conference
In Bergen In 1909.
Last spring the storthing passed
resolution ordering the Reitgjerde
leper asylum closed In the near future.
and II 10 expected that within few
years there will be only such institu-
ton IN the country.
It Is reported from New York that
news to the effect that the Norwegian
steamer Fran, which left Charleston
October %, for Nyborg. Denmark. with
a cargo of oil cake. had been seized
by the British government at Ler-
wick, the Shetland islands, was re-
ceived recently by Ralph Bollowa. at
torney here for her owners. H. M.
Wrangell & Company of Haugesund.
Norway. The reason for the seizure
was not given. Captain Grindheim
simply reported that the authorities
had taken possession OF the vessel
and cargo.
From London comes the report that
the Norwegian steamer Tyr has been
detained at Glasgow by the British
authorities. In the hold Of the ship
was found 1000 tons OF copper. con.
traband OF war. hidden in q cargo of
general merchandise. and this fact
aroused suspicion that the vessel was
trying to smuggle tho copper into
Germany.
Still another vessel to fall into Brit
ish hands on the suspicion OF carry
ing contraband Of war to the Germans
Is the Thor. which was captured In the
West Indies. together with an Ameri-
can ship. The charge against this
vessel Is that It was bringing coal to
the German cruiser. Karlsruhe.
A dispatch to the London News says
that because the German auxiliary
cruiser Berlin. now interned. was able
to pass Fort Trondhjem, Norway, un-
challenged. the commandment of the
fort had been removed and an inquiry
instituted.
The people are greatly stirred over
the incident, as Trondhjem is naval
harbor. provided with powerful search
lights. and the question is being asked
how the Berlin was able to enter 1t
unnoticed.
The Berlin. q former North German
Lloyd steamer, entered Trondhjem No
vember is and voluntarily informed.
1t was believed that previously she
had been acting as-s-convoy for sub
marines.
The sarcophagus to which the body
will be removed II designed by the
French sculptor vautier. who was per-
sonally acquainted with Bjornson. On
account Of the war the completion Of
the monument will be delayed for
some time, the original plan having
been to have finished It this fall.

mission has been granted to Mrs.
Caroline Bjornson to exhume the re-
mains OF her late husband. the poet
Bjornstjerne Bjornscn, and remove
