According to Christiania correspond
ents there exists widespread fear in
Norway at present that the country
may, in spite of itself, be drawn into
the war The Aftenposten, the lar
| gest and most influential paper in
| Norway, said in it's issue of Nov. 80:
1T were folly now to shut our eyes
to the fact that there is great danger.
The situation is such that we may at
any moment find ourselves involved
in the war and without even chance
| to decide for ourselves which side we
want to take" This is a grave state
ment and everybody in Norway ad.
mits that the country is far from pre-
| pared to meet such danger. The
army is small and poorly equipped
and in the matter of food supply on
hand the country is not in as good
a shape as are the other Scandinavian
countries In spite of everything
however, the authorities in Norway
have taken drastic measures against
all anti-defense agitation. A provi
sionaI order has been issued threat
| ening punishment of fine and impris
onment to any one who speaks against
the government work of defense oil
participates in any demonstrations
against the same The order provides
that any person who is not a Norwe
gian by birth. or who is not a citizen
after three years continuous resi-
dence in the country, will be Danish
ed as soon as he begins any agitation
against the doings of the government
in the matter of defenses. During the
first months Of the war the govern
ment- revenues OF Norway decreased
about 100000 crowns. The de
creased revenue on distilled liquors
| alone amounted to 100000 crowns L
\ is said that the revenue to the govern
4 ment from this source has been al
much as 100000 crowns year. Ac
kcordfng to reports of the last severa
months the country will be shor
about one-third of it's revenue from
this source and the authorities arr
puzzled to know what to do to secure
funds for carrying on the government
and meeting the expenses of main
tanning the neutrality Of the country
