constitutional convention at EIos-
void, May II, 1914, When Krlstian
Frederik Was Chosen King of Nor
way.
Swedes hardly realized what was 60
ing on until the union was past his
tory.
To show how poorly the Swedes
understood the temper Of the Norwe-
gians it must be mentioned that they
asked for popular vote on the ques-
ton. A vote was taken in Norway
August 13 and 1t was found that 1874
votes had been cast In favor of the
union and 36S,20S against it.
Both countries sent thousands Of
soldiers to the boundary line ready
for action on a few hours notice.
Meanwhile a joint committee met at
Karlstad, Sweden, to settle the de-
tails of the dissolution of the union.
Norway abolished her nobility by
an amendment to the constitution in
1921. The nobility of Sweden were
anxious for war with Norway in 1905,
but the king was opposed to blood
shed and large majority of the COM
mon people of Sweden could see no
reason for fighting the Norwegians.
Failing in it's attempt to obtain a
king from Sweden the storting pro-
ceeded to elect Prince Carl of Den
mark. This was the last act in the
drama which put Norway on the foot
ing of absolute independence which
she had not enjoyed since 1885,

because they have not shed enough
blood"
The storting (legislature) convened
In Kristiania, October Z, 1914. King
Kristian Fredrik resigned and left
Kristiania October 10. He lived rath-
er quietly until he became King Kris
tian VIII of Denmark in 1889. Certain
parts of the constitution we're amend
ed, and King Karl XIII of Sweden was
elected king OF Norway, November 4,
1914.
The kings of Norway and Sweden
often found it difficult to satisfy both
nations. The governments were sup
posed to be independent of each otIar.
But the two countries were so closely
connected that the actions of one gov
eminent would be felt in the other.
Consequently, there was a great deal
of friction from time to time. In the
early eighties matters grew much
worse. The stortings amended the
constitution so as to compel the mem
bers of the cabinet to appear in the
storting and explain and defend its
policy, if need be. The constitution
provided that if three successive
stortings passed a certain bill Ii
should become a law without being
ratified by the king 1t did not say
anything about amendments to the
,-ff inf he CT
claimed that the amendment was a
part of the constitution, having been
passed by three successive stortinigs,
while the hing maintained that he had
an absolute veto" with regard tC
amendments to the constitution. The
ing was pitted squarely against the
king and his Norwegian cabinet The
storting impeached the cabinet, and,
after a trial that lasted more than six
months, three members of the cabinet
were fined $4,000 each. and the others
were deposed. The king still tried to
thwart the will of the storting. but
the opposition was so determined that
he had to yield.
Norwegian Cabinet Resigns.
At the beginning of this century the
Norwegians made a demand which
finally broke up the union of 1914
They wanted a separate consular serv-
Ice for Norway, chiefly in order to ad-
vance the particular commercial in
terests of Norway In foreign coun-
tries. Negotiations were carried on
for years. but the king and the gov
eminent of Sweden could never be
induced to yield to the Norwegians

Book on Life of the Kaiser

"The KAISER is q book for those
who would become familiar with the
public and private life Of the foremost
figure of the day-William the Sec
ond, King of Prussia, and Emperor Of
Germany. 1t is an authoritative work
by a number Of different writer's and
investigators upon the life and deeds
of the man, and furnishes a back
ground for the study of European
conditions almost necessary to one
who would read the war news for that
which lies behind the mere movement
of troops And the book is not a
mere dry history, but an interpreta-
tive account. A mere glance at its
contents will show the current inter-
est which attaches to the book.
There are chapters upon the kaiser's
personal appearance and habits, his
antecedents and education; his rela-
tions with the army and navy, his
foreign policy, his career as an enl-
peror and commerce builder, his rela-
tion to the organization Of the Ger
man government, embracing a chap
ter showing just how complete is his
domination of affairs; q chapter on
his relation 10 the Reichstag, one on
his relations with the Socialists, an
interesting anecdotal chapter on the
kaiser and German culture and the
kaiser as a divine right monarch. The
book is profusely illustrated from
photographs. Published by Doubleday,

with minor corrections and revisions,
has been used as the official handbook
of the Boy Scout organization ever
since that time, and It's popularity
has Increased year by year. In the
present year, however, new scout re-

Disraeli and the
Protection Issue

The third volume Of the Life OF
BENJAMIN Disraelp' (hacMillan)
which was begun by W. T. Mony-
penny and is to be completed by g. r.
Buckle comprises the years 1s46-lS5S.
It opens with the period when Dis
raell was in that close political rela-
ton with Lord George Bentinck which
caused him to be nicknamed Ben
tincks Prime Minister" Lord John
Manners and Lady Londonderry were
already his intimate friends to whom
he made political and literary confess
sions. The former was his constant
support and the latter his admiration.
In January, 1S47 Disraeh took his
place Tor the first time on the front
bench In the House of Commons, a
position he was TO occupy for thirty
years. He admitted at this time in
an election address that the free
trade principle which Sir Robert
Peele had brought into force must be
given a fair trial though he remained
the lieutenant of BentinCk and the
protectlonists. His position was truly
equivocal, FOR in his private cores
pondence he often used words which
seemed to show that he was more of
free trader than a protectionist.
The revelations as to the compare
tive dislike which DisraeH entertained
for protection while he continually did
X lip service; as to the disappoint-
ment of Derby at Disraeli's attitude
and as to the consequent instability
of the Protectionist party make up
what is perhaps the most valuable
political information in the book
But the opening of the third volume
Of this biography marks a distinct
stage in Disraeli's career quite apart
from his political advancement His
mind was much occupied with the
importance Of race as a determining
influence in human affairs. He used
his new strength and position to
champion his own people, whose re-
ligion indeed he did not profess, but
with whom he was otherwise united
in thought and feeling. He carried
this championship into the House Of
Commons ia 1S47 in a singular but
brilliant speech which was too exotic,
however, for the taste of any part OF
the House. Mr. Buckle insists on the
courage which was required of Dis
raei TO take this unpopular course at
a time when he had everything TO lose
by 1t.
Altogether this volume is the most
In the series of which it Is
a part, giving further evidence that
the biography when complet d Is
destined to occupy high place in the
literature of Its kind.
