Christiania, Norway, June 29.-Of
Norway's neutrality it may be briefly
said, There amt no sich animile," as
the countryman exclaimed the first
time he saw a camel.
Norwegian neutrality exists only in
the letter, a state of affairs which well
enough serves Germanys present ne
cessities.
The western half Of the great Scan
dinavian peninsula is surlily anti-Ger-
man and growing more so every week
The feeling is deep and it would be
passionate if the Norwegians were a
passionate people. 1t would be ugly il
they were truculent people. But, be-
ing what they are-aloof, selfcontained
and not msddlesome-their attitude
toward Germany can ue indicated with
reasonable accuracy by the word surly
The Kings attitude Is known to be
somewhat more vivacious. He IS rest
less and unhappy over the situation
His close English relationships cause
him to feel lively sympathy with the
British and the numerous letters he re-
celved from members of the English
royal family, who dilate on atrocities
naturally strengthen his feelings OF
aversion to the Germans.
In this capital a careful speaking
Norwegi IN made this statement:
AT the outbreak of the war IS per
cent of our people were truly neutral
in spirit. Now there aren't per cent.
Other Norwegians in the party
nodded acquiescence.
After three weeks wandering on the
peninsula, should sum up the state
of feeling thus:
In Sweden the situation, considered
from the point of view of the interests
Of Germany, could not he better; in
Norway it could hardly be worse.
OF the Swedes the Norwegians say
that they don't so much love Germany
as they dread Russia.
English Taboo at Stockholm.
However that fact may be, the fact
remains that in the cafes of Stockholm
the natives don't at all like TO hear the
sound of the English language, and
even the shop people grow aloof when

but you will escape the risk Of an un-

English in public places here"
In Norway, by the same token, the
sound of German rather gets on peo-
pies nerves. In Norway, from Chris
tiania to Bergen. the children in the
streets are singing: ITS a long way

the parks play the tune the storm OF
