NORWAY.

Great difficulties have been placed
in the way of importation of copper.
For three months past next to no cop
per has been imported to Norway on
account of the threats of the English
to capture it. Business men have con-
ferred with the British foreign depart
ment and 1t is said that the English
have laid down the following rules:
Norway may import copper freely at
the rate of imports Immediately pre-
ceding the war. II more is wanted it
may be had on condition that Norway
export to England corresponding
amount Of raw copper from Norway.
But the chances are that Norway will
not accept this offer. Norwegian raw
copper, which is now exported to Hell
singborg, is much more expensive than
electrolytic copper. Owing to the
great number of electric plants which
are in process of construction this
matter is of great importance.
The city government of Bergen has
decided to see thas the rebuilding Of
the burnt portion of the city is done in
a rational manner. The city Is to take
possession of the whole ground, the
price Of each parcel to be established
by agreement, or eventually by COM
pulsory appropriation. When this Is
done the streets will be rearranged in
the most practical manner. In order
to be reasonably sure of getting the
very best plat for the district the city
will invite all Scandinavians to a COM
petition. So far no prizes have been
announced. but they will no doubt be
liberal.
1t is only a few years since the ma
tional government bought 5000 acres
of timber land in Espedalen. The
price paid was sci, 500. BY the end of
the year 1914 logs had been sold for
$4,000. Thus the state has 5000 acres
of timber land for nothing. and few
thousand dollars In cash besides.
The Norwegian bark Dagmar, bound
from America for Norway, has been
lost in the North sea with her entire
crew. II is supposed the Dagmar
struck a in,ne.
The arrival at Copenhagen Of the
Norwegian steamship Xong-Inge In
charge of a British prize crew of six
men is reported by Reuters Copen-
hagen correspondent. The Kong-Inge
was stopped by a British submarine
and ordered to proceed to y.eith. Her
coal supply was insufficient and shs
put in at Copenhagen.
In former years only small csanti-
ties of sardines have been caught in
the Christiania ford. But this seaoau
the catch is very heavy, Some fishing
smacks have hauled as much as 1900
bushel baskets in night. The price
is so high that nights haul may be
worth from $4,000 tc $4,000 Much OF
the fish is rushed to the famous can
neries in Stavanger.
The Norwegian steamer Langelie
was sunk and its engineer killed. Sir

BY CARL W. ACKERMAN.

l would much rather attend the
Richmond gathering of Indiana news
paper men than send a message. But
as long as l am a poor man, and a
more or lessactive war correspond
ent" l have to stay here I've been
thinking for six weeks about a mes
sage-in fifty words-which 1 might
send you, without deciding on the
message They used to say that every
other man born in Indiana was either
an author or politician. The only
time I've been called an author is
when the tax office in Berlin sends
me bill Then / am Herr Schrist-
stellar Ackerman, Mr. Author Acker-

Reporter Ackerman." So l can't
claim to be an author, and know l
am not politician like Bill Blodgett
AS / look at Indiana from here /
think the phrase about Indiana authors
and politicians will have to be revised
so that there are three groups-au-
thors, politicians and reporters.
There are, perhaps, two messages

MARK THISTLETHWAITE.

The secretary to the vice president
of the United States, whose home is
in Richmond, was formerly a newspa-
per man, and cracking good one,
though, of course he might have been
even a better one had he started mis-
career in Richmond AS it happened,
his career opened on the Indianapolis
Sentinel; later he was with PhilaGel-
phia newspapers, and at the time he
was secretary to Governor Marshall he
was a member of the staff of the Indi-
annapolis News. When Governor Mar
shall was elevated to the vice presi-
dency. it was the natural thing that
Thistlethwaite should be elvated also,
hence he was compelled to submit. to
the ordeal of life in Washington at a
good fat salary and sunfmeryacaiion

STORY OF FROG
STILL STICKING
WITH JOHNSON
FRED BATES JOHNSON

Ny first newspaper assignment was
to write feature story on "Spooning
in the Public Parks" My last news
paper assignment, five years later,
concerned a matter of being rudely
elected from the office of an insur-
ance company at the end Of literal
boot, and if you think literal boot
is bad English, just try it.
Some experience was required for
the first assignment and some agility
for the last. But at the particular
time each was needed l was wanting.

ence which qualified me for my first
assignment. All had then was agil-
ity. l had none of the agility re-
quired for my last assignment. All

Does Not Commit Himself.
And have often thought that had
the last assignment come, first, and
the first assignment last, might then
at time when needed, have had the
agility lOI Iuc eJeCLlOu duu eApSIl i
ence for the-other / might mind
you, l might, | am not committing my
self beyond recall
But reporters and city editors of to-
day outdistance us Of the older days.
They have agility and experience far
beyond our modest dreams. They
pull stories and put over on the old
subscriber stuff that does a tribute
to their Imagination and does tribute
to the credulity of their readers. My
hat is off In my time l have written
some stuff that necessitated some
strain-But never in my yellowest of
days did l ever write the like of the
Valparaiso Vidette story of the frog
that kicked the man and broke his
leg.
Bob Harrison, member of this Or
sanization, wrote that story and pub
lished it in cold type. That could be
endured.
But among us girls he still insists
that it was a true story. He won't
even let us in on it.
Wild-eyed imagination has de-
throned crude modesty and the new
city editor passeth all understanding.

CHARLES AlBERTS.

When an aspiring newspaper
man finally lands in Washington
the coveted goal of most scribes
he presents credentials to gair
admission to the press gallery
The man who receives the ere
dentials and passes on them Is
Charles Alberts, head of the New
York World staff in the national
capitol. Alberts like many an.
other gooG newspaper man halls
from Indiana and from Richmond.
When here his newspaper train
ing was limited. He never ad-
vancerd farther than carrier on
the Palladium. He was a real
"newsie" at that Then he pro-
NOTED himself to telegraph
messenger boy and then became
an operator. From manager OF the
Western Union in Richmond to
an Associated Press operator and
then naturally. because of his
ability, into the writing field. He
jumped by leaps into big jobs
and has been holding down a
hefty one for several years.

many years. was for a period Of two
years editor of the Palladium. This
service was some time after his re-
linquishment of the Item and follow

sourceful newspaper men that Rich

he was a real scoop" artist, and prob
ably he scored more exclusive stories
than any other one newspaper man
who ever trod Richmond's streets.

FRED BATES JOHNSON

Johnson, Like Williams, Cor
dan, Alderman, Coe. Gillian, is
is a native of this. At present
he is speeding toward the Mexi-
can with an Indiana Infantry regi-
ment of which is quartermaster.
Johnson did not stick around the
newspapers offices very much
while he lived here, although he
contracted the bug while his fa-
ther owned a local newspaper.
Subsequently he organized the
school of journalism at Indiana
University. His greatness was
also manifested on the Indianapo-
lis News where he was attached
to the reportorial staff. Black
stone proved more alluring, so he
forsook chasing news stories for
a more lucrative calling. His
love for newspapermen is an
abiding one.

City Editors! Your attention
Is called to the fact that the
prosecuting attorney of Wayne
county is an old newspaper man
with an honorable record. De-
mas Coe, the dean OF news writ

study law, Goes action was a
loss to the newspaper game and
