CHRISTIANIA, January .. 1914
Norway has just ended a prosperous
year with her industry progressing
and her trade still increasing. The
statistics of exports and imports in
1913 were very good. and the harvests
reached total value of 100000
kroner. No symptoms have been re-
marked of the economic depression OBJ
served in other countries. and it is
believed that the prosperity will last
throughout 1914. Norway will cele-
brate the centenary of her liberation
this year with a great exhibition at
Christiania, which will illustrate the
principal results of a hundred years
work.

Secretary Houston Petitioned.

In a petition presented to Secretary
Houston of the Department of Agrleui-

Wichita duckers. it is stated that be-
tween latitudes IS and 20 the fields are
tiled and the marshes ditched SO that
little surface water collects in ponds.
and that permanent lakes are scarce,
and that the only real water for self
respecting wild ducks is to be found in
the Illinois, Ohio, Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers, too far away to be of use
to the average Kansas duck hunter.
Because the open season hurts the poor
duck hunter, who cannot afford to be
long to wealthy hunting clubs, with
their own lakes, or who cannot take
trips to other regions the hunters have
put the matter up Representative Muir

Antwerp Fortifications Hold.

London, Oct. 3.-The Germans ap-
parently have failed in their first at
tempt to pierce the outer line of for
tthcations at Antwerp. Official reports
and statements by correspondents say
that none of the Belgian forts has
been severely damaged and that the
German infantry attacks were re-
pulsed with heavy losses to the In
vaders.
A counter-attack has been made by
the Belgians, which has continued for
two days. according to the Antwerp
correspondent of the Exchange Tele-
graph company.
At the Wavre and ST. Catherine
forts alone (outside of Antwerp the
German dead may be counted by
thousands. At several points the
corpses lie in heaps. Entire compa-
MES have been exterminated, while
other troops were driven back at the
point Of the bayonet.
Another dispatch says:
1t is reported that the Belgians
already have placed machine guns in
church towers of Antwerp. The Ger
mans have occupied Malines and strict
orders have beer given not to bonn
bard the town so that the cathedral
may be spared.

Przemsyl, Galicia, has been attacked
by the Russians on all sides. Two of

An official message states that fighting
during the last few days has been con

Noyon, the action quickly taking on
unheard Of proportions. 1t continues:
we may be forced to give up some
points of little Importance, but the PEG.

This appeared in all the papers. The
Vosstsche Zeitung says the Germans
are making superhuman efforts to
break through the lines Of the allies.
and in all probability the fights Of the
next few days will be decisive. The
allies, 1t proceeds, are %retreating a lit
tie, but at the same time are under
taking a gigantic attack, with Verdun
as a center.

ly suggests that the Germans are far
from having their own way and are in
a difficult position.

PAVE WAY TOWARD PEACE?
Such Interpretation Put On Bern,

Washington, D. C.-The call OF
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am.
bassador, at the state department
where he conferred for half an hour
with Secretary Bryan, aroused much
speculation in diplomatic circles here
as to the possibility that further eff.
forts had been set in motion by the
administration, indirectly at least, tc
bring about peace in Europe.
1t is known that the diplomat made
a special trip from New York in re,
SPONGE to a telegraphic request sent
by Mr.. Bryan. He left the secre
tary's room burdened with copies OF
peace commission treaties negotiated
by Mr.. Bryan with various countries
and is understood to have been asked
to forward these promptly to Berlin
The treaties are typical Of all the
peace conventions upon which Mr..
Bryan has been at work, although
they differ somewhat in detail.

Clay, 25,S30; M~innehaha, "a sos; Yank-
ton, 21,477; Dawson, 14,495; Hanson,

The department has devoted a large
amount of time and attention toward
securing action toward preventing an
other epidemic in the state, h work
being through schools of instruction
in the use of serum and virus for the
prevention of the disease, along with
lectures on the necessity of sanitary
handling, and proper steps to prevent
the spread of the disease from infected
districts.

POPULAR DEMAND FOR

THE APPEAL. BEARS FRUIT
Owner Will Accept an Offer of $500,
900 for Estate If Government VIII
Agree to Maintain 1t as "Virainis

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Monticello, the
home of Thomas Jefferson, should be
maintained as the Virginia Home OF
the presidents" in the opinion of its
owner, Representative Levy, of New
York, who notified Secretary Bryan
that he would consider an offer OF
$500, 900 for the purchase of the estate
by the government. His communities
ton will be referred to congress.
II have always abhorred the
thought of Monticello becoming a
mere museum" Mr.. Levy's letter to
Secretary Bryan says. 81 have main
tanned it as a home-the home OF
Thomas Jefferson, and if am to part
with it I should like that thought to
Virginia home-of the presidents of
the United States and maintain it for
their occasional occupancy and l
would be content"
MI. Levy's letter was in reply to
one from Secretary Bryan urging him
to reconsider his determination not to
sell the estate.
Replying Mr.. Bryan wrote hat he
understood the sacrifice Mr.. Levy was
making, but the fact that the estate
would remain a priced possession Of
the government should heal the
pangs of parting.
ALLOW me to express my personal
appreciation,' the letter adds, "of
your willingness to have the purchase
made at this time when the presi.
dent, the senate and the house will
all rejoice in the opportunity to be
connected with the transfer. hope
that congress will take early and ia.
vorable action on the matter"
