 MAD ABOUT WAR

LONDON, Dec. 30.-Reuter's Chris tiania correspondent says a German prize court at Swinemunde has de- clared as prizes two Danish and 24 Norwegian steamers, all of which were captured in the Baltic, most of them laden with lumber.
 The newspapers throughout Den mark, Norway and Sweden express the greatest indignation at these seiz- ures, the correspondent adds. The national committee of Norwegian ship owners met at Bergen and adopted a resolution urging the foreign office to act promptly to obtain a change in the sentence of the prize court.
 The sentence is described in the resolution as "an insult against the administration of justice" It adds that it is appalling if the declara- tions of Norwegian consulates and of the Norwegian office can not be believed by German courts"
