Norway Declines Allies Yer.
sion on Submarines.
Not Prohibit Passage Thru or
SOjOurn in Her Waters.

London. Oct. 1S.-Reuter's Chris
tiania correspondent says: Norway
has informed the entente allies that it
does not recognize it as its duty to
prohibit passage thru or sojourn in
Norwegian waters by belligerent sub
marines" The Norwegian note is in
response to the memorandum of the
entente powers to neutrals suggesting
that belligerent submarines should be
excluded from neutral waters.
The Norwegian government declares
it considers it has the right to pro-
hibit submarines designed for war
purposes and belonging to belligerents
from passing thru Norwegian terri
toria1 waters or sojourning in them,
and says it made use of this right in
issuing the royal decree of October 1 8,
under which belligerent submarines
are forbidden to traverse Norwegian
waters except in cases of emergency,
when they must remain upon the sur
face and fly the national flag. The
decree also provides that mercantile
submarines are to be allowed in Nor
wegian waters only in a surface posi-
ton in full daylight and when flying
the national colors.
On the other hand the government
does not find that it is its duty as
against any of the belligerents to pro
hibit such passage or sojourn. Con-
corning commercial submarines the
new Norwegian regulations impose no
prohibition, it is pointed out, as far as
concerns arrival or sojourn of such
submarines under the conditions de-
signated in the royal decree. The
Norwegian government says care will
be taken to see that commercial sub
marines which may arrive in Nor
wegian waters really bear the induti-
able character of merchant ships I'm
til experience has shown what diff
culties may arise for maintenance of
neutrality in consequence of the use OF
commercial submarines, the note con-
tinues, the question of issuing special
new regulation for such vessels cannot
be taken into consideration

Position Similar to That of q. S.

NorWay's position in some respects
is similar to that of the United States
which in replying to the submarine
memorandum of the entente allies said
that in its opinion, THE allied powers
have not set forth any circumstances,
nor is the government of the United
States at present aware of any circum-
stances concerning the use of war of
merchant submarines which would
render the existing rules of interna-
tional law inappIicable to them''

the selection Of Keokuk as one of the
possible sites for an armor plate
factory.
The Keokuk Industrial association
has been working on such a PROPOSE.
ton for over a year. Letters and per-

and influential committee members
have been the means Of getting the
ear of these men, and the associa-

thing of this sort.

the information that Secretary Dan

the proposed towns. Keokuk will be
ready to show the committee every
thing necessary for such a plant, in

electric power, right at the source of
supply. .... FL
Keokuk is going to have to com
pete with some of the biggest places
in the country as well as some of the
small inland towns, but the natural
advantages Of cheap shipping and
the like will go far towards giving
Keokuk the "call" over the others.

Speaking of an Embargo.

Chicago Evening Post: The talk
about an embargo on American ex-
ports is resulting in laughable oon-
troversy between various interests as
to whose goods are to be made the
object of it. The master bakers
favor an embargo on wheat, but the
National Grange declares that an
embargo on wheat will bring every
wheat producer to the front in a
war on those who have been charg-
ing him high prices for his goods.
The grange wants to see an embargo
on munitions and other manufactured
products. Everybody wants an en-
barge on the things he has to buy
and an open market for the things
he has to sell.
