DR. MANSON WARNS
 NORWAY 0F PERIL
BeIoium's Fate Hers, He Says, Un. less She Prepares for War
 Urges Military Training.

CHRISTIANIA (via London), Oct 8.-Dr. Fridtjof Nansen. former Nor. wegian minister to Great Britain. caus. ed sensation here on Saturday night when Ee asserted before an assem-. bly, of leading members of the cabi. net and students of Christiania Uni versity that Norway's situation was as precarious as that of Belgium.
 Dr. Nansen's proposal for one years compulsory service in the army was received coldly by the members of the government. but with cheers from the rest of the audience. He used the fate of Belgium as an ar gument for more ample preparation by Norway.
 If Belgium had been prepared" he said, Germany never would have vio- lated her neutrality and possibly the whole war would have been averted. Our position Is as serious as Bel gium's. We are between two oceans where big naval battles of the war probably will be fought. Belgium proved that neutrality without mill. tary preparation was not sufficient protection"
 Dr. Nansen's speech amounted to a direct criticism of the present gov. ernment. the members of which he referred to as naive, self-admiring DO litical leaders.
 If among wolves you need your teeth" was the text of his address. Dr. Nansen said that the longer Nor way waited the more serious her DO sition would become. He urged her to be worthy of her sister nation, Sweden. which already had a one-year compulsory service. Dr. Nansen spoke favorably of Germany's method of training for the army, and said that the result of the war would be a gen. eral conscription in England.

SEEKING DEATH
 IN ANTARCTIC

Perils and hardships would seem to be sufficiently abundant in almost any part of Europe just now to meet the demands of anybody whose inclina- tions and tastes lie in that direction. Death in a wide assortment of forms is offered, and even pressed upon the attention, throughout the whole con- tinent and many of it's outlying is- lands and possessions, and whoever will utilize the provided opportunities, as we'll as not a few thousands who wouldn't if they could help it, may get shot with large or small guns, pierced by various forms of sharpen ed and pointed steel, or. if of a more timid temperament, can by searching carefully find a corner in which to perish quietly by starvation. About the only method of demise at present denied is that by freezing. and even that will within few weeks be free ly offered in what are pleasantly call ed the theatres of war;
 Yet it is in circumstances like these that the Shackleton expedition has started in two large parties for the antarctic regions! Of course they are not exactly seeking, but they are deliberately risking. in that land of almost perpetual blizzards, the fate of Scott and his men-a fate in com parison with which death amid the anaesthetizing settlements of battle might be called, if not agreeable. at least easy.
 It is Significant of much." as the saying is, tha: the explorers had or dered their scientific instruments in Germany, but the war made the com pletion of that transaction, as so many others, impossible. and the announce men+ is that they will have to get along with instruments of English origin. The implication is obvious; at any rate it will be su to the Ger. mans.
 Probably the dangers of antarctic travel do not quite equal those of modern warfare, but the difference is more than made up by the greater deprivations and sufferings. And among the deprivations, not the smallest will be that of news. That will continue, not for weeks or months, but for years, even if all goes we'll, as well" is counted in the antarctic highlands, and the sur vivors of the expedition will return to new Europe, concerning the cre- ation of which they, almost alone of men. will have had n? knowledge as 1t went on. But the ice fields call and they must go. It is a strange world.

ALASKA CABLE IS OUT OF COMMISSION
NORWAY WILL
 REMAIN NEUTRAL

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Oct. IT, The press of Norway is making a consistent effort to maintain strict neutrality. The newspapers publish virtually nothing more than the off cial communications, giving the Eng fish. French and German texts. The Morgen Blade divides its columns carefully, giving just as much space to German as to English news. The Verdens Gang publishes more Eng fish news, but this inference of par tizanship is contradicted editorially. Norwegian officials are equally eau tious in maintaining neutrality.
 Since the declaration of war Nor wegian exports to Germany have in. creased vastly. Officials deny, how ever, that ammunition has been sent out of the country.
 The Norwegian army has been partly mobilized, but the capital shows no signs of military activity. Norway's most serious damage re- sulting from the war Is financial dis location. She was in the midst of developing her railroads, her water power, and her agriculture. The war eliminated all the capital borrowed in France and left this development arrested. with public debt of 600.- 000,O00 crowns (about $160. O,000.) A moratorium has been declared. The Stock Exchange is closed, but other wise local business is going on much as usual.

Several Japs escaped from a steam. CT at ome recently and were later captured and taken aboard of their ship.

AN EXPRESSION WITH PRAYER.
Many good man has gone down
to defeat at election time, on account
of the liberal use of the Whiskey
bottle and buckets full of beer the
night before. And yet some people
call it fair election" God OF We
fathers give 'em some starch in
their back bones and cause them to
straighten up and assert their man
hood. What the world needs and
needs badly is MEN with convictions
of their own, men who will not abuse
their conscience or belray a trust
for mess of pottage that afterwards
turns to a stone, MEN who will not
drift with the current of popularity
or favoritism, but MEN who will
stand for PRINt IPLE as rigid as
the rocks of Gibraltar. lSELAH ]

German Amy Officers
Almost Immune From Any
Form of Prosecution

Berlin. Germany. July 1s.-There Is
no section Of the German community
so intolerably arrogant or so well pro-
tected by the law and the ruling Of the
judges as the military officers In
deed. II almost means that the uniform
Of the officer is the badge OF immunity
from punishment no matter TO what
extreme limits he may go.
A typical instance Of this sort has
been forthcoming this week as the re-
suit of an action against an officer.
Gen Keim. founder OF the Fleet league,
and one Of the most rabid Pan-Ger-
mans, who has been IN hot water no
end Of times without ever being scald-
ed, some months ago wrote an article

insulted Herr Wetterle, an Alsatian
member Of the reichstag, and he insti-
tuted proceedings
The general was sentenced to a fine
Of $50. but Indignantly appealed against
the verdict, and on the second hearing
the court agreed that $3.50 was a suffi-
cient punishment for a valued officer,
who had merely Overstepped the boun-
dairy line in excess Of zeal.
