A prominent business man OF Chris
tiania, who is now visiting In the Uni
ted States, Is of the opinion that y
will be almost impossible for Norway
to continue neutral till the end OF tho
war. In case Norway enters the con-
test. 1t will be on the side Of the al
lies, in his opinion. her interests be-
ing bound up with England to great
er extent than with Germany The
sentiment of the people, according to
the gentleman in question is now al
most entirely against Germany, owing
to the destructive campaign waged
by the German submarines against
the commerce of the country.
A Christiania dispatch says that al
though permission has been granted
by the Russian government for the
expectation of 100000 sacks Of grain
from that country to Norway, tho
trade in grain Is practically at stand
still between the two countries. only
10000 sacks having as yet been pur-
chased by the governments commit
tee on food supplies. The high prices
prevailing in Russia have checked ex-
portation and the committee is await
ing more favorable terms before con-
tracing for any more Russian grain.
