DISARMAMENT OF NORWAY ' ASKED BY SOCIALISTS

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, May 13.- Complete disarmament for Norway is called for in a bill which has been introduced in parliament by the So- cialist faction of that body. This measure asks the government to frame and pass as soon as possible resolution or bin providing for the abandonment of the whole army and navy. It also asks that all treaties between Norway and other countries which might possibly be a hindrance to complete disarmament be either al tered or replaced by new treaties, and that treaties providing for arbitration in all controversial questions be Sc cured with all foreign nations.
 This bill is in accordance with the program of the Norwegian Socialist pa1&y, which during the last election advocated disarmament irrespective of whether other nations would dis arm or not. Since the Socialists con trol only one-third of the assembly the bill now pending will not be passed this session, but if they should get control of parliament at the next election a bill of this nature undoubt- edly would be passed and become a

BULGARS RESENT. THE GERMAN
 HEEL

THE HAGUE, May 13. - Dr. Chas. Pancoast. of Philadelphia, and Dr. Morrowitz. of London, have reached The Hague after sixteen months, dur ing which they have engaged in sur gical work in the Hungarian and Austrian armies. They are the last American physicians to leave Bull garia. with the exception of Dr. Harry Plots, of New York, who remains at Sofi. They say a spy craze is ram pant in Bulgaria; that all Americans there are subject to suspicion, and that, therefore. their life there is most unpleasant They say it is evi- dent that the Germans do not want Americans in Bulgaria.
 How thoroughly Bulgaria is under German domination, it was declared, was shown by the fact that the coun- try virtually has been denuded of foodstuffs by the Germans. Sugar, flour, oil, rice and coffee are obtain able only under a card system and medicines are becoming scarce.
 Popular Uprisings Feared.
 There is a general feeling of unrest which Dr. Pancoast says he thinks must reach 6 dangerous point within a few months, when. he prophecies, popular uprisings or assassinations may be expected.
 Dr. Pancoast adds that there is an unmistakable although suppressed feeling of hostility against the Ger mans. of whom it is estimated there are more than 100000 in Bulgaria. There are more Germans than Bull garians in Sofia, he says. According to the physicians there is an open warlike feeling against ROumania, and an enmity against the Serbians. Three-quarters of the Bulgarian pop ulation, he declares, is Russophile.
 Dr. Pancoast served in a great Hun garian hospital in Munkacs, Hungary, where the barracks accommodates A. 900 wounded. Afterwards he was in charge of the military hospital at Vratza Bulgaria, and of a hospital at Sofia. He says he saw 800 British and French prisoners in rags march ing the streets of Sofia with the peo- pie jeering them They had been rob bed of their clothing and shoes on the battlefield, he added.
