NORWAY PRODUCING IODINE,
Native Promoters of Business Bene.
flied by the War.
Ience of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
CHRISTIANIA, Norway, August =
The extraction and marketing of iodine,
which was almost entirely i'll the hands
of English firms before the war, has
been taken up in Norway. For many
years the people along the Norwegian
coast have made business of gather
ing seaweeds, burning them and ex-
porting the ashes to England, where
iodine was extracted The English
firms had such complete control of the
production that it was impossible for
NorWegians to compete successfully
but the war increased prices to such
an extent that some Norwegian pro-
motors started two iodine factories,
with the seaweed producers as stock
holders. In less than a years time
one of these companies has earned a
surplus of 20 per cent of the capital.
The gatherers of the seaweed have
pledged themselves against further eX-
portations to England, and they are
sending the raw material to the Nor
wegian factories.

greatest possible degree of care is

Tar is being extensively used
wherever the intrusion of water is
likely to occur the effort being to
make the trenches as nearly water
tight as possible. Drainage of various
kinds is being provided. and concrete
is being freely used to provide weather
proof shelters.
If it is necessary to make use of the
same trenches this winter as the troops
| occupied last winter they will not suffer
| so largely from wet and frozen feet,
| and it will be possible to sleep or rest
| with some degree of comfort instead
| OF in the mud.
For the protection OF the troops in
| the advanced trenches the use OF
barbed wire is being largely extended.

mallets the sound of which was often
! the signal for volley from the enemy.

1t is explained that the low position
of certain great centers of trade and
industry is due to the fact that i'm
ports destined for consumption in their
area are to large extent credited to
the exterior ports of first arrival, while
exports the product of one locality
are often sold first to other domestic
jobbing centers or forwarded to agents
located on the seaboard or frontier.
