A report from Copenhagen says that
an army of 10000 Germans has land
ed at Ekenaes, Finland, and is in
vading the country in the direction
of the capital, Helsingfors. 1t is con-
sidered certain that the objective
point Is St. Petersburg, which it is
possible to reach directly along the
railroad from Helsingfors. AS Fin
land has been grAaning these many
years under Russian oppression it is
possible that the Firms will revolt
and try to throw of the Russian
yoke, should they receive sufficient
encouragement from the Germans. In
that case Helsingfors might easily
fall into the hands of the Germans
and speed them on the way to st..
Petersburg.

From several hundred to a thou
sand or more American tourists are
at different seaports in Denmark
awaiting an opportunity to return
home. At Esbjerb, a Danish seaport
on the North sea, is gathered a crowd
of Americans in the hope of being
able to procure passage on a steamer
for home. All the Scandinavian.
American liners are booked up to
Sept. 3, but In spite of this the people
crowd the Office begging for a place
on a steamer, even If they have to
sleep on deck.

der to maintain their neutrality. They
have given mutual assurance with a
view of making it impossible for the
state Of war existing in Europe to
cause these kingdoms to take hos
tile measures against each other. The
Liberals have ceased to oppose the
plan of the governments for strength

Among the church exhibits at the
exposition in Christiania is q blanket
which is attracting more than COM
mon attention. The blanket was WOW
en- by Mrs. Dahle of Fjaerland and
has this motto woven into it in colors:
woman, Why >Weepest Thou?' the
words that were spoken to Mary Mag
dalena on resurrection morn. The
colors used in the motto are those of
the church year and are beautifully
arranged on a background Of blue
and gray. Below the motto is woven
also the picture of Mary kneeling az
the Savior approaches her. This pic
ture Is also beautifully worked out in
colors and makes an impressive ef-
feet. The wool from which the blan-
ket was woven was raised In Fjaerland
and was carded and spun by Mrs.
Dahle.

Laborers have been theoretically at
work at Jaederen to finish the WIRE
less telegraph station. The same is
being done in America and tho hope
is expressed that by next February
direct communication will be estab-
lished between Norway and America.
This new connection, which will 60
by way of Carnavon, in Wales, and
Belmar, in America, it is said will
make the shortest and quickest COM
munication between the old and the
new world. These stations are sup
posed to surpass all existing stations
and will be able to handle 100 words
a minute. It is hoped also that the
rates will be very considerably re-
duced.

Norway is already producing q
large amount of cement, but steps
are on foot to increase the production.
A meeting was recently held in Chris
tiania at which an organization was
formed with a capital of 1,400, 900
crowns. This entire amount was sub
scribed at once and steps were taken
to push the work as fast as possible.
The factory is to be located In the
vicinity of Gullaug, in Lier, and is
to be built sufficiently large to have
an eventual capacity of 100000 tons
per annum.

Norway IL doing nobly in helping
the American tourists who were
stranded in Europe on account of the
war. On Aug. II the Norwegian
steamer Kristianiafjord sailed for this
country with 1900 American passen-
gers. The Haakon VII. has been
chartered to bring from $50 to 200
American refugees to Boston. She
left Christiania about the same time
that the Kristianiafjord sailed.
