Manufacturing a Government
For the first time in history, a
group Of world powers has under
taken to frame a government for a
country which is claimed by no ma
ton.
The Spitzenberger Islands. COM
monty called "No Mans Country"
have been known to the civilized
world for centuries, but because OF
their rockiness and location, they
are on the edge of the Arctic circle,
no one ever claimed them until re-
Gently il was discovered that they
coutain rich coal deposits. American
explorers were among the first to
find the coal and. with other daring
spirits from Norway and Russia,
staked out large claims for them
selves, but did not claim them in the
name of their respective countries.
This brings about a queer situa-
ton as the islands are without gov
ernmen; and force has been the only
means of settling differences. So a
conference of the interested govern
ments is being held at Christiania to
frame a government for the islands.
The United States has two delegates.
The mines can be operated for
only three months each year on &C
count of the weather. The American
interests are controlled by Boston
corporation and are said to be worth
