SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT HAP.
PENIN0s IN FAR OFF
NORTHWEST.
ITEMS FROM THE OLD HOME
Resume Of the Most important Events
In Sweden, Norway and Denmark
OF Interest to the seandInavIans
N America.

King Christian of Denmark, King
Gustaf of Sweden and King Haakon
of Norway, who, with their foreign
ministers, met In conference at Malmoe
a few days ago to formulate a plan
designed TO combine their respective
interests during the war, reached an
agreement of the special questions
raised. The statement is made in an
ofiicial communication. The commu-
nication in substance follows: The
meeting Of the three monarchs was in
augurated with speech by King
Gustaf, who alluded to the unanimous
desire Of the kingdoms of the North
to preserve their neutrality and point
ed to the desirability Of limited CO
operation between the Kingdoms as a
safeguard to their common interests.
He said that when he invited the mon
archs Of Norway and Denmark 10 meet
him he was impressed with deep
sense OF the responsibility which
would be incurred In relation to the
present and the future II any meas
ure which would contribute to the
welfare Of the three kings were neg
lected. Kings Haakon and Christian
replied, testifying their sincere joy
at the initiative of King Gustaf and
expressing their hopes that the con-
ference would have good and happy
results for the three peoples. The
deliberations of the monarchs and
ministers consolidated the good re-
lations among the three kingdoms and
also enabled an agreement to be
reached on the special questions
raised. 1t finally was agreed to
pursue the cooperation SO happily be-
gun and to arrange. when circum-
stances should occur, for fresh meet
ings between representatives Of the
three governments. The town was
brilliantly illuminated and huge
crowd cheered the rulers on their de-
parture. King Gustaf and King Haa-
kon babe a cordial farewell to
King Christian aboard the cruiser
Heimdal. which then sailed for Copen-
hagen. The kings of Sweden and Nor
way then proceeded to the station
where King Haakon left for Norway
by special train. King Gustaf re-
turned to the palace to await the
queen, who arrived from Berlin at IL
o'clock. Their majesties left 20 min
utes later, for Stockholm.
B
The Russian press is convinced that
the formation of Scandinavian triple
alliance may be announced at any
time now as the result of the con.
ference at Malmoe, Sweden, recently
of King Haakon, King Gustaf and
King Christian. The newspapers
say that Russia has nothing to feal
from such an agreement.

Thesaurus, the Beautiful.

Doesn't sound beautiful. 1t is a word
a man might hesitate to say before a
lady. At the same time it has golden
meaning. It means treasure house. A
man might get away with it. as re-
CARDS the dictionary. 1t would sound
all right to speak of a thesaurus of
dead languages or living ones, but II
you told a girl her heart was a the
saurus you would make no hit with
her. If you said instead, MY sweet,
your heart Is. like treasure house of
all earth's jewels you would have a
better chance; besides, 1t would be the
truth to you. We hope this impresses
you to use very simple words when
you are saying something beautiful.
1t is not knowing big words that
counts. but using small ones WELL.

SWEDEN.

I "A. OSterlln0, a customs Omc1al from
lMalmoe, heard someone screaming for
help as he walked along the harbor
of Copenhagen In the dark. With
out a moments hesitation he jumped
into the icy water and found two
women struggling for life. Several
other men were attracted. Two Of
these lowered, third one down to the
water by holding his hands. His feet
reached the water, and Osterlind
brought one of the women to him
and assisted her in grasping the feet
Of the suspended man. While Oster-
! lind was taking care of the other wom-
an the one that was being pulled up
lost her hold Of the mans feet and,
with piercing scream. dropped into
the water and disappeared. Now Os-
terlind, who himself was almost ex-
hausted. gathered what strength he
still held and made a dive for her.
He succeeded in bringing her up to
the three men a second time, and she
was saved The other woman and
Osterlind we're also pulled out of the
water, so that no life was lost
/ II is seriously proposed to build
public crematory In Malmoe. Those
who are in favor of 1t point to the
cheapness Of disposing of the dead
in this manner. It is also contended
that the ease with which the ashes
of the dead can be preserved in
family vault will tend to make people
cherish and honor the memory of their
ancestors to a higher degree than
they do under the present circum-
stances. For this very reason. how
ever. the church people are dead
against the proposition. They claim
that the cremationists are trying to
introduce a new cult which is hostile
to the Christian religion. Many tax
payers are also opposed to the propo-
sition at the present time on account
of the expenses involved.
