The editors heart was made to re-
joice at the action Of our brothers OF
the Del-Mar-Via Press Association at
their annual meeting in Wilmington

followed a few hours later by

DOyERs TREES.

From the Dover Index.
The movement to form Tree
League In Dover for the preservation
and treatment of the shade trees of
the town should be encouraged by
all good citizens and lovers of a beau
tiful and pleasant town. 1t is to be
regretted that the present Tree Com
mittee of the Council has been too
ready to permit destruction of trees.
The late instance of the cutting OF
the elm on the edge of the public
squares is one of wanton destruction.
The tree was sound except a part of a
few limbs, that could have been
treated. Il took many years to grow
the tree and it leaves bare ugly
place which It should have adorned
for many years. IL no doubt made a
good supply of firewood and to that
incomprehensible class of men who
prefer bare places to shade trees it
will not be missed We however,
doubt if such a class exists 1t is
more likely that those who, like some
of our old Council. seem so, are sim
ply too obstinate or too little inter-
ested in the town to take advice. 1t
is to be hoped that the new Mayor will
not only take an interest in our trees.
but will take interest enough to ap-
point a Tree Committee that will take
an interest and Will cooperate with
every movement to preserve and care
for our shade trees-the chief attrac-
tiOn Of Dover.

tics" the pope having officially author
lied the campaign of King Kristian.
In the course of the next few days
many other prominent Swedes In diff
ferent parts of the country were killed
in cold blood. This aroused the
Swedes to a general uprising under
the leadership of Gustaf Vasa, one Of
the ablest and noblest men known to
the history of Sweden. After the
most miraculous escapes he overcame
the opposition and was made king of
Sweden In 1923. This terminated the
Danish rule in Sweden. The reign
of Gustaf Vasa, from 1923 to 1860,
marks the beginning of the golden
age of Sweden.
Passing over a. period of nearly
three hundred years we come to the
time Of the Napoleonic wars, in which
all Of northern Europe was involved.
In 1909 Sweden was forced to give
up Finland to Russia. This was a
great loss. A year later Jean Berna-
dotte, one Of Napoleon's marshals.
was made crown prince Of Sweden.
and changed his name to Karl Johan.
The nominal king of Sweden, Karl
XIII, was old and feeble, and Karl
Johan soon became the real ruler of
the country. Napoleon and he were
never very fond of each other and in
1912 Karl Johan had meeting with
the car of Russia, the arch enemy
of Napoleon. At this conference,
which was held In Abo, Finland, an
agreement was made that Karl Johan,
at the head Of 10000 Swedes, should
join the enemies of Napoleon, after
which Denmark should be compelled
to cede Norway to Sweden. England,
Austria and Prussia also agreed to
this bargain.
Norway Coded to Sweden.
Napoleon was defeated in the great
battle at Leipzig, in 1913, and Karl
Johan followed up the agreement by
turning against Denmark. By the
treaty of Kiel. January, 1914. King
Fredrik of Denmark coded Norway
to Sweden, but kept Iceland, Green
land and the Farce islands, which
had always belonged to Norway.
Napoleon was crushed. Denmark
was eliminated as a military power.
All of northern Europe endorsed the
plan of having Norway ceded to Swe-
den. The Norwegians realized their
position at once. The country had
been impoverished by wars, and the
failure of the crops In 1912 has no
counterpart in the history of the coun-

Every s0und-minded Norwegian felt
that this was most critical moment.

to the storting, which Johan Sverdrup,

After a few days the king declared
that no prince Of his family should
occupy the throne of Norway.

that place. There were 112 men from
all parts OF the country. The different
classes of people were equitably rep
resented. The new constitution was
drawn up May II. 1914. On the same
day Kristian August, a Danish prince
who had held the position Of stat
holder" (regent) of Norway, was
unanimously chosen king. On this
occasion the chair was occupied by
Prof. Georg Sverdrup, who was very
prominent before and during the con-
vention. After the election he made
a speech in which he said:
"God Protect Old Norway"
Again we have raised the ancient
royal throne of Norway, from which
Adelstens and Sverres ruled the
country with wisdom and vigor. May
God protect old Norway"
Two days later the king and the
members Of the convention were
sworn to support the new constitu-
ton. They formed chain of brother
hood by linking hands. While in this
position they shouted.
United and true until the Dovre
mountains fall"
The constitution adopted was an
admirable document. Liberal use was
made of the constitutions of the Unit
ed States and Of France. But 80 many
features had to be changed and adapt
ed to the peculiar circumstances that

Sweden and Norway at War.
Norway was visited in June Of the
same year by representatives from
the great powers Of Europe, who de-
manded the deposition Of the new
king. No satisfactory agreements
could be reached and war was the
outcome. To speak of this war is
almost impossible without offending
either the Swedes or the Norwegians.
We shall not try to settle this con-
troversy, but hurry on to the final re-
suits. All parties agree on one point,
namely, that the new Norwegian king
was SO afraid of blood spilling that
time and again he ordered a retreat
when his men were most eager for a
fight. It. is also agreed that the
Swedes had about 10000 men and the
Norwegfans about 10000 men in the
field. The Swedes entered southeast
ern Norway, and made some head
way. The garrison at Fredrikstad fort
capitulated before single man had
been wounded. Fort Fredriksten was
defended with great pluck. Karl Jo-
han began to suspect that the powers
would be Of little real help to him in
subduing Norway, and so he offered
a compromise to the effect that the
Norwegians could keep their consti-
tuition If they would drop their new
king and elect Karl XIII Of Sweden
in his place. King Kristian accepted
this offer and opened the gates Of
Fort Fredrikste., to the Swedes. The
Norwegians were dismayed and Pro-
fessor Sverdrup said to his king:
