NORWAY SAFE
UNLESS GERMANS
INVADE SWEDEN

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Christiania, Nov. 5.-The only mem
ace to the neutral position assumed by
Norway, in the opinion of certain we'll
informed citizens, appears to hinge up
on a possible invasion of Sweden by
Germany. There have been intima-
tions. it is said, that Germany desires
a base of opera lions on the southern
coast of Sweden. Should she go as far
as to seek to- coerce Sweden, Norway,
by virtue of a. defensive alliance with
her sister kingdom, would have to take
up arms against Germany. Such a
contingency, even In the minds of
those who pretend to see its possioil-
ity, is regarded as remote.
Norway is expected to maintain her
neutrality. What may happen to Ter
after the war, in event of victory for
the allies, is regarded by many Nor
wegians as more tangible danger
than the likelihood of her becoming
involved in the conflict. There is a
long standing mistrust of Russia in
the minds of, these Norwegians.
1t is said to be no new idea that
one day Russia, in her pressing reed
for a western ocean gateway, may be
tempted to seek such outlet through
Swedish and Norwegian territory
Heretofore England has been looked
to as bulwark against sucn possible
aggression. Now it has occurred to
certain Norwegians that in the pos
sibie flush of victory and with England
and Russia closely allied. the formers
vigilance might be relaxed.
Notwithstanding these bugaboos,
with which, so far as could be learn
ed, official Norway is not deeply con-
cerned, the country is pursuing it's
normal way. suffering comparatively
little from depression on account of
the war. According to an official state
ment by a Norwegian authority, less
than ten per cent of the country's pop
ulation is out of employment-a condi-
ton scarcely out Of the ordinary at
this season.
Imports of food stuffs from the Unit
ed States have materially increased
due to the closed markets of Germany
and Austria. Such railing off as Is

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, Nov s-When Field Marshal
French resigned from the Army Coun-
Gil last spring, because the cabinet failed
to support the assurances he had given
the officers in Ireland that they would
not be called upon to fight the Ulster
Volunteers, no one dreamed that few
months would bring him fame as the
commander of the best army Great Brit
ain has ever put into the field. For the
same reason Colonel J. B. Seely retired
from the cabinet post of secretary for
war, during the Irish troubles, and to-
day he is one of the most attractive and
conspicuous of the staff officers at the
front. Colonel Seely always was rated
by his friends a better soldier than poll
tician, and now he is vindicating their
Judgment.
