DISARMAMENT FOR
NORWAY is OBJECT

Cnristiania- Norway. April "a
Complete disarmament for Norway Is
called for in a bill which has been
introduced in parliament by the go
cialist faction Of that body. This
measure asks the government to
frame and pass as soon as possible a
resolution or bill providing for the
abandonment Of the whole army and
navy. 1t also asks that all treaties
between Norway and other countries.
which might possibly be hindrance
to complete disarmament. be either
altered or replaced by new treaties.
and that treaties providing for arbitra-
tion in all controversial questions be
secured with all foreign nations.
This bill is in accordance with the
program Of the Norwegian socialist
party. which during the last election
advocated disarmament irrespective
Of whether other nations weuld dis
arm or not. Since 4he socialists con-
troll only one-third & the,Assitsbly the
bill now pending Will not be passed
this session. but II they shSHld get
control of parliament at tho next cleo
tion, a bill Of this nature undoubtedly
would be passed and become a law.

FOR HELP OF NAVY

Toxic. April 24.-Pointing out that
the war has SO shortened available
freight space that business interests
are greatly incommoded. the Japan
Foreign Trade association has filed q
representation with the government
suggesting that the duty Of the navy
Is not confined to the defense Of the
country and that it should assist the
trading community by releasing trans
ports or by building merchantmen at
its yards. II suggests an increase in
the number of vessels on the routes
to America and India. The repreaen-
tation goes on to say that any proper
increase Of freight rates is permissi-

Ing from KalEa into various parts

Lcorice grows In abundance on the
Mongolian plains but heretofore it
has not been exported from Mongolia

FLYING SECTION
FOR INDIAN ARMY

Batavia, Dutch East Indies, April
24.-The government has decided on
the establishment Of a regular flying
section for the Indian army. Twelve
more machines Of the seaplane type
at present in use in the experimental
flying section here are to be pur-
chased in the United States. A special
commission will be charged with the
selection and approval Of the aero
planes. Five trained airmen, includ-
ing naval officers. are to be sent from
Holland to join the new flying estab-
lishment.
Hitherto there have been only two
flying machines in Java. They are
seaplanes Of American manufacture.
on which the first military flights were
made at the beginning Of November
last. Unfortunately. the flying record
in the colony has since been sadly
marred by the tragic accident in
which the chief Of the
Netherlands Indian army, General
Bichielsen. lost his life. The choice
Of seaplsnes as the first flying ma
chimes for India's forces arises from
the fact that their first use would be
to give speedy warning Of tho ap-
proach Of a foreign enemy across the
sea and information on the compost

FORMATION OF
Marine STOPS
Dissolution of the Argentine
Mercantile Marine Brought
About by the War.

Buenos Aires, April 9A.-Ths eom-
plete dissolution Of the nascsnt Ar
gentine mercantile marine; appears to
be fast approaching as . result, pri.
narily, of the European war.
-. Before the conflict in Europe began
there were number Of Indications
that attempts to create and maintain
a national mercantile marine repre-,
senting the Argentine republic uslRht
be successful. Notwithstanding that
the efforts were handicapped by q
number of factors. Onerous and vex-
atlous laws and regulations are In
force among them law that requires
that every captain or commander Of
an Argentine vassel. must bs IN Ar
gentine. One-third Of the crew must
be Argentines.
Notwithstanding that the Spanish
race has always been notable for the
number and merits Of it, navigators,
the Argentine descendants Of that
race show no marked liking for the
sailors life. Az a result. there are
vessels searching for weeks tor pro-
perly qualified officers and men for
an Argentine ship: In . way the law
was circumvented by naturalizing
spaniards, Greeks and Italians, but
even this expedisnt was not aiways
successful.
MAHy european nations are now
paying 20 high for tonnage that the
Argentine owners Of vessels, glad to
escape the vexatious handicaps, are
selling out to the European buyers,
or to Uruguayan and Chilean com
paniss. which have less trouble to
contend with. In addition to this
lure Of gold, the lack Of coal, which
has already been referred to in previ-
Gus dispatches az serious, has been q
factor In the disintesratien Of the
Argentine merchant feet.
