lished statement with reference to
the interception of the Swedish ship
Fridland, which has been read with
much interest in Sweden, as well as
Norway, and which, in part says:
There appears to be an impression
prevalent both in this country and the
United States that the cases of the
Kim, the Alfred Nobel, the Born
stjerne Bjornson, and the Fridland,
which at present are being heard by
the prize court, involve questions of
the validity under international law
of the policy of intercepting all Ger.
man imports, enforced by his ma
jesty's government since March IL,
and of the attitude adopted toward
that policy by the United States gov
eminent. This impression Is incor-
rect. The four ships in question were
detained November last, months be-
fore that policy was adopted, and
their cargoes are being proceeded
against as contraband destined COR
Germany by way of neutral port, on
the ground that under the principles
of international law applicable to such
cases the ships. as well as their car
goes, are liable to condemnation"
ment alleged to have been made by
the Queen OF Sweden a. Berlin. when
the students of the University of Der.
lin called to pay her homage. RACES
in Sweden quite merrily. Papers up
holding the Social Democratic party
and the Left party criticize her ma
jesty very sharply, charging her with
q desire to enlist Sweden on the side
Of Germany in the war. and Brant-
ing. the Socialist leader, denounced
her as foreigner willing to sacrifice
everything to the advantage of the
house of Hohenzollern. Some Of the
conservative papers defend the queen,
or attempt apologies for her, but in
the nature Of things the hostile press
has the better of the argument.
Some young men were bathing to-
gether at the Tangsater Stone Dress
ing plant. One Of them, Sven Gerhard
Person, shouted for help, but the 9TH
ers found that he was only fooling.
He shouted again. but this time they
did not mind him. He was in actual
danger and soon was out of sight. The
water was deep and It took ten min
utes to fetch him out, and all attempts
to revive him proved to be in vain.

viii Revise Election Laws.

The work of revising and simplify
ing the election laws of Michigan, for
which the positions Of secretary Of the
senate and clerk OF the house were
made permanent by the 1915 legis-
lature. will be begun about Sep
TENDER.
Secretary of the Senate Dennis
Il. Award and Clerk of the House
Charles s. Pierce have completed
their work of indexing the 1915 laws
and are laying their plans for the
election law work.
As far as changes In the laws, such
as reducing the expenses Of the mu-
inequalities and cutting out cumber-
some sections go. the advice Of the
city and county clerks will In the
main, be taken. Letters In which they
will be asked to make suggestions
will be sent out shortly after Septem-
Der 1.
While these letters are coming In.
the two commissioner" intend to 20
over the laws for the last rs or SO
years and pick out amendments
which are superfuous and, at the same
time, select sections which. by reason
OF amendments passed later, have be-
come obsolete. BY the middle of win.
ter. they figure. they will have heard
from nearly all Of the city and county
clerks and can then get their sugges-
ton down to q working basis.
The present plan Is to formulate
two reports for the legislature. one
a compilation Of the laws as they
stand with the superfluous sections
and the obsolete ones cut out and the
phraseology changed in many in
stances so that the average man can
understand them and not have to 60 to
a lawyer. The second report will be
the adaptation of the suggestions from
the various clerks, put into such a
form that the 1917 legislature can
make use of them in bills, II 1t so de.
sires.
Already quite a few city and
county clerks have made suggestions
for changes. or called attention to Ger.
tain portions of the laws which are
cumbersome and costly.
One phase of the matter which
seems to be universally condemned,
in the cities at least, Is the publica-
ton of the lists Of registered voters
before each election and their posting
about the city. In cities where, by
reason OF charter commissions, spe.
cial elections have become a very
common thing. the cost to the city
has been enormous
In Saginaw, the law revisors hear
II cost the city $1,000 to print the
registry lists one year. 1t happened
that In that period Of time the city
held an unusually large number OF spe
cial elections but, at the same time
the publication of the lists was con
sidered to q great extent useless. Eacl
election there would be added pos
sibiy rs or 80 names.

eminent to demand sattsfaction from
Germany for the torpedoing or Nor
wesian ships with the loss Of several
sailors lives.
The Right party 10 planning strong
campaign ON the Issue OF strengthen
ing the national defenses. One of its
platform declarations are az follows:
The events which are now shaking
Europe have serious message TO the
Norwegian people. They show that
q country. even though disposed to
live in peace. is compelled to defend
its independence. The war has taught
US that the defenses Of the country
are inadequate. and that the importa-
ton OF the most important neces-
saries Of life may be cut on. The
country may be reduced to famine. and
our entire defensive strength may
thereby be paralyxed." To remedy this
situation. the party leaders propose to
increase the army and extend Nor
ways capacity for manufacturing
war munitions and supplies. At the
bame time. the agricultural interests
will be built up and thus enabled to
help meet the added expense of the
nation by protective tariff.
According to press dispatches the
storthing has made an appropriation
of $4,000 for new wireless station
at Christiania. This action comes as
the conclusion of q recommendation
made by the Norwegian director Of
telegraphs in 1913. The station will
be located on the Tyrvand heights.
The work of construction will be be-
gun this summer and the plant will
be completed next year. The station
will be located on the Tyrvand and
communicate with stations In England
and at Petrograd. The work on the
transatlantic station at Stavanger has
been delayed on account Of the war.
