ALLIES DO NOT WANT PEACE.

ALLIES DO NOT WANT PEACE.
London, Sept. 17.-French reports
from America of peace talk, coming
from Oscar Strauss and Count Won
Bernstorff, do nothing more here than
serve to accentuate the fcSt that the
allie sare not willing to make peace at
this time. They might entertain a for
ner proposition for peace, but only
on terms which Germany could not ac-
cept. Germany's views cannot be
learned, but the attitude of the allies
based on available information, is here
set forth:
Britain. 1t is learned on high auth
ority, wants this war to brin to an
end the race for armed superiority. 1t
also wants to eliminate the German
competition for mastery of the seas, so
that England may cut down it's own
fleet and end the mad rush for naval
supremacy.
If the war ends in favor of the allies
it will be England's demand that Ger
many's fleet be dismantled, whether
1t has come out to fight in the mean
time or not.
1t is England's belief, as expressed
by numerous officials, that there is
no hope of lasting European peace un-
less Germany is thoroughly whipped.
Militarism, 1t is said, must be eliminat-
ed In Europe and in this respect Ger
militarism. 1t is becoming obvious
that II Germany is whipped the allies
will see to it that her influence is
crushed.
Belgium, It Is said, will make a de-
mand for territory. in addition to an
indemnity tax. This Is not official, but
high authority states that the grow
lace probably will force not unwill-
ing government to make demands for
slices Of Germany's Rhine provinces.
Then France will want Alsace-Lor-
raine and possibly more. Russia will
demand Poland, italy and Servia will
want certain provinces Of Austria,
while Denmark will ask for Schles-
wif-Holstein.
These peace terms are now. Of
course, academic, but in view of the
allies successes recently there are
many who secretly are considering
what the demands on Germany should
be.
Wales Miners Working Overtime.
Cardiff, Sept. 17-Wales. the source

shown its loyalty to the king in a
manner highly gratifying to the ad-
miralty. In the face of attempts on

vantage Of the present war for the
enforcement Of demands upon tn ad-
miralty. the Welsh miners have gladly
waived all holidays and are working
Sundays whenever it is necessary to
keep the navy supply Of coal up to
the required standard. Union officials
took the position that It was not nec-
essary for the union men to surrender
their holidays. but the miners over
turned the ruling Of officials with
unanimity.

ally has strong fellow-feeling for
Belgium and cannot forgive Germany
for attack on that weaker neighber.
The railroad between Chr1stiania
and Trondhjem runs for much of the
$50 miles through some of the best ag-
ricultural districts of Norway. The
first point Of interest out from the
capital is Eidsvold, the historical and
hallowed place at which the constitu-
tional assembly of 1914 held it's ses-
sions. The meeting place, the pala-
t'a' residence e cc::c:: Axe: :: .:c;
intact, and is now national museum
and shrine.
Lake Nijoger, the largest body of
fresh water in Norway, stretches from
Eidsvold north to Lillehommer, dis
lance of about 80 miles. The railroad
follows the eastern shore of the lake.
Half way up is the old town of Hamar,
from which place narrow guage rail-
road runs eastward and then north
ward through Osterdalen and over the
mountains to Trondhjem. In these dis
tricts around Lake Nijoger and in Os-
terdalen we have the principal agri-
cultural wealth of the country. There
are splendid farms, whose owners are
regarded as Norway's aristocracy.
Some Of the families trace their de-
scent from the old kings. Several
pretty large fortunes have been made
in these districts, especially from op~
erations in pine lumber. The princi-
pal business outside of farming is the
making of woodpulp and paper.
Lillehammer Well Situated.
The standard gage railroad con-
tinues from Hamar along the shore to
the north end Of the lake, where we
have the little and most beautifully
situated city Of Lillehammer. Thence
the railroad runs north through the
valley Of Gulbrandsdalen to Dombasa.
At this place there is great activity
at the present time. The work is be-
ing pushed on the main railroad across
Dovre mountain and toward Trondh-
jem. And another line is to be built
westward from Dombaas to the sea at
Molde.
Gulbrandsdalen prides itself on be-
ing Norway's finest valley with the
most progressive people. In this dis
trict, but a short distance north of
Lillehammer, was the home of Bjorn-
stjerne Bjornson. Farther up, at Otto,
monument erected by Norwegian
Americans marks the spot where the
peasants of Gulbrandsdalen some
hundred years ago attacked and slew
Colonel Sinclair and his Scotch mer-
cenaries, who had disregarded Nor
ways neutrality and were marching
across the country on their way to

NORWAY FEARS
COUNTRY MAYBE
DRAWN INTO WAR
Cannot Shut Eyes to Danger,
Says "Aftenposten," Leading
~ t: :cc11 St .1:St:aa1;:a.
BY Peer Stromme.


CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Dec. s.
1t may or may not have shown itself
false alarm before this reaches Min
nesota, but just now there is in Nor
wya widespread fear that the coun-
try may, in spite Of itself, be drawn
into the war. Aftenposten, the larg-
est and strongest paper in this city,
says today: ut 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 our
selves involved in the war, and with
out even chance to decide for our
selves which side we want to take"
Everybody admits that Norway is
far from prepared to meet such dan
ger. The army is small and poorly
equipped. And in the matter of food
supply on hand the country is not in as
good shape as are the other Scandin-
avian countries.
Norway's Titled Acreage Small.
Norway is about half as large again
as the state Of Minnesota. But of the
100000 acres in Norway only one
nineteenth part is tillable soil, and of
this less than one-half is actually til
led. Sweden is one-third larger than
Norway, has twice as large a popula-
ton and four times as much land un-
der cultivation. Denmark is only one
eighth the size of Norway, but has
the same number of people and three
times as much land under cultivation.
In Norway one-thirty- ninth, in Swed-
en- one-twenty-fifth and in Denmark
three-fifths of the total land area is
cultivated. In other words, the num-
her Of acres under cultivation is in
Norway about equal to the number of
people, while in Sweden it is twice,
and in Denmark three times as large.
While the population of Norway has
''een steadily increasing the number of
persons engaged in farming is less
han is was fifty years ago. AS illus
.ratlve of the situation we may take
The figures from the judicial district
N the southwestern corner of the
country. This is one of the compare
lively rich districts. Some data just
published shows that in this district
the deposits in the sayings banks
amount to $91 for each man, woman
and child in the district, while the av-
GRACE of savings deposits per capita
For the whole country is about $40. In
Lister and Mandel, which comprise
The district spoken of, the debt of the
everal communities is less than one
bird Of the average for the whole
country.
Now, the population of this district
has in the last so years increased from
$4,000 to $4,000, although there has
turing that period been a loss of 3d..
100 by emigration to America. But
he number of people on the farms
las gone down from $4,000 to $4,000.
And a similar state of affairs obtains
n the other districts of Norway.
However, while farming is not, then,
rs popular and fourishing as it might
&c, the country is now, owing to spe-
:ial efforts Of the government and
municipal authorities, fairly we'll sup
oiled with corn and flour and other
necessary food. The city of Chris

Christiania is blessed with a greater
number Of newspapers and other jour

about as large as St. Paul, and hence
much smaller than Minneapolis. But
is has, according to the directory, no
less than 18 daily papers and 100 9TH
err periodicals. And nearly all of them
are engaged in severely criticising the
utterly incapable government under
the leadership of Gunnar Knudsen.
That is, all but the comparatively few

This was formerly the progressive
party, but seems now to have no fixed
