One of the Heroes of Peace,

From the Detroit Free Press
On the Norwegian frontier the other day
there was dedicated in the presence of
10000 persons a Swedish Norwegian
monument to peace. Strange happenings
when almost within hearing cannon were
roaring, musketry volleying, men diving in
agonies. nations wrestling in fratricidal
hate. Yet not so strange after all. but
in wonderfully striking contrast
Only a few years ago Norway seeded
from union with Sweden. King Oscar of
the Bernadotte dynasty, man of gentle
soul. patron of religion and art and peace,
sat on the throne 1t was in his power
to launch the army Of Sweden against
the Norsemen, numerically inferior With
word of command he might have
drenched two countries in blood and tears.
There were not wanting those who coun-
seled the shedding of blood, the arbitra-
m mem OF brute force, the rending Of fam
HES. the wrecking OF homes, the heaping
OF niseries on women and children. For
these are the meanings of war.
But the gentle old man kept the peace.
Norway became separate kingdom in
1905. Haakon VII was elected ruler of
Norway. In 1907 Oscar | died and Gustaf
Y became monarch of Sweden. No word
of war or hate has divided the two count
tries. They separated on political lines.
They parted in peace. They have kept
the peace. And now they have erected a
peace monument to commemorate the
peaceful parting made possible by the
heroism of Oscar /. For it took genuine
heroism to face the division of his king
doms. the humiliation of dethronement
by half his subjects, and to resist the en-
treaties of men to whom force and blood
shed are standards of right.
The man VINO could thus keep the peace
deserves to be held in grateful remem-
brance by the entire world.

Striking Scene.
Mexican Roads Open.


The prospect of an early restoration Of
peace In Mexico comes at a time when
the commercial relations of Mexico with
the old world are subject to the same
war disturbances which have democrat
lied the trade Of the United States with
Europe. At the same time Mexico's own
war has put the country in a situation
where it needs market. and needs sup
plies as badly as any country in the
world. Fortunately for both countries
there is an all-peace route between the
trade centers of the United States and
those Of Mexico. so that traffic can be re-
sumed as soon as the constitutionalists
are able to set their railroads to work
Notices from several lines entering Mex
leo to their St. Louis representatives
show that rail transportation is already
open to the City of Mexico, though
through rates are not yet established.
Doubtless such rates will be established
soon and old trade relations can be re-
sumed where the war severed them. The
opportunity for American business in
this situation is important and obvious.

RUSSIAN AUTHORITY
WELCOMED AT LEMBERG
Petrograd Correspondent Of London
Post Says Slav Population Tired
Of German Tyranny"
Victory of Cars Troops Called
Signal Triumph for Daring STRAIT
egg of Commander-in-Chief.

LONDON, September Z, $3.50 a.m.-The
Petrosrad correspondent Of the Post in
an article dealing with the capture Of
Lemberg and Halicz says:
The establishment of Russian au-
thority in this region Is being enor-
mousiy facilitated by the fact that the
native Slav population, after long ex-
perience with the tyrannical policy of
Germans in time of peace. welcomed the
advent of the Russians even under the
stern conditions of war.
The Lemberg victory is a signal
triumph for the daring strategy of the
RUSSIAN commander-in-chief, and entire
~ reconelles the public to the severe
censorship which enabled him to carry
out protracted operations over a vast
territory without the enemy getting
single hunt to give them the alarm.

ating IN a direction that met almost at

Dykes Of Holland.
ON the Norfolk Ledger-Dlspatch.

rom the Norfolk Led2er-DSpatch.
When recently it was reported tina,
Holland might be invaded the threat was
made that the dykes would be opened
and the country flooded If hostile forces
attempted to cross the boundary.
This recalls the old story of the Dutch
envoy who as guest OF the kaiser was
watching review of the troops.
AS a regiment of six-footers passed by
he murmered. Not tall enough
A second regiment. in which every mar
was not less than six feet three inches
passed in review. and again came the
comment, Not tall enough
Still third regiment came, this time
of men six feet six inches in height AND
yet again the comment. Not tai
enough
Not tall enough" repeated the kaiser
to his royal visitor. What do you near
by that?"
IT mean. your majesty" answered the
man from Holland, that when We oper
the dykes the water averages eight feet
deep"
Before such an uninviting prospect
there has been no invasion of Holland
and it is doubtful if there will be any.

Sale Of her ships in inglorious circum.

Just sixty years ago the entire national
fleet, created by the assembly of Frank
fort for. the prosecution Of the struggle
with Denmark. was put up to auction and
knocked down-two steam frigates, six
steam corvettes. and twenty-seven gun
boats. The feet which was to be the
symbol OF German unity had proved to be
a hopeless bone of contention. Even the
proposal that Austria should command In

auctioneer's hammer was the only re-

miral of the fleet. has been appointed hon
orary colonel of the LIST Naval Brigade
Admiral \. X. Wilson of the I'd Naval
Brigade and Admiral Lord Charles Beres-
ford Of the marine brigade
1.-The division will be equipped by the
admiralty with field hospitals, trans
port and ammunition column. signal COM
panies, cyclists. motor cars and machine
guns. An aeroplane squadron from the
naval wing, complete with its transport
will be available when required. If at
any time the naval situation becomes suf-
ticiently favorable the force will be hand
ed over to the army for general service.
THE training. discipline and experience
which the personnel already possess
should after five or six months Of special
instruction in field duty enable units
of high quality to be produced. The pros
poets of the royal naval division having
opportunities for winning distinction on
the continent therefore are good. Three
fourths of the commissioned officers are
already available. Vacancies will be filled
by the direct recruitment Of young men
of high character and education.
