due in great part to the Russian gov

the unfavorable communications with

that Hostrup intended to picture him

knocked at Hostrup's door, and man
OF herculean build faced the author.

caller looked so fierce that Hostrup
suspected something wrong, so he
said: Mr.. Hostrup lives on the next

up. There he faced an Icelander who
was as strong as bear. Hostrup
closed his door. But he listened. First

States while the war lasts. and for at

to Trygve Barth of Christiania. one of
four representatives of leading finan-

Barth were Knut Bachke. SOphius E.

eating manufacturing and financial
subjects of interest to Norway. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Barth, Norway has
placed orders with American ship
yards for more than $200,0O0,0OO in
new ships since the war began. Many
Of these ships now are ready for de-
livery to their owners. They will be
used to a large extent at least in car
