NORWAY REFUSES ALLIES DEMANDS TO BAR .U-B0ATS
Takes Position Similar to That Expressed in Reply
 of U. $. N
RULES ALREADY MADE
 DEEMED SUFFICIENT
Special Regulations Won't Be Issued Until the
 Need Arrives.

London, Oct. 18-Reuter's Chris tiania correspondent says Norway has informed the entente's allies that it coes not recognize it is its duty to prohibit passage through or sojourn in Norwegian waters by belligerent submarines.
 The Norwegian response is to the memorandum of the entente powers to neutrals suggesting that belliger- e..ts should be excluded from neutral waters. / The Norwegian note de- clares the government has the power to prohibit submarines engaged in war purposes and belonging to belliger- ents from passing through Norwegian territorial waters or sojourning in them and says it made use of this right in issuing the royal decree of Oct. 13, under which belligerent arm- ed submarines are forbidden to tra- verse Norwegian waters except in cases of emergency, when they must remain upon the surface and fly the national flag.
 The decree also provides that mer- cantile submarines are to be allowed in Norwegian waters only in a surface position in full daylight and when fly ing the national colors.
 On the other hand, the government does not find that it is its duty toward any of the belligerents to prohibit such passage or sojourn. Concern ing commercial submarines, the new Norwegian regulations impose no pro- hibition, it Is pointed out, as far as concerns arrival or sojourn of such submarines under the codes designat- cd in the royal decree. The Norweg- ian government says care will be talk en to see that commercial submarines which may arrive in Norwegian wat CTS really bear the indubitable char acter of merchant ships.
 Until experience has shown that dif- faculties may arise for maintenance of neutrality in consequence of the use of commercial submarines. the note continues. the question-ss of issuing special news regulations for such ves- sels cannot be taken into considera- ton. In view of the generally recog- nized precepts of impartial neutrality which were given clear expression in the introduction to the thirteenth treaty adopted at The Hague, the government says it is always necessary during the existence of war to avoid q change of neutrality regulations un- less experience demonstrates the ne-I cesstty of doing so in order to protect neutral states in their own rights.
 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 it's opinion "the allied powers have not set forth any cir constance, nor is the government of the United States at present aware of any circumstances, concerning the use of war or merchant submarines which would render the existing rules of international law inapplicable to them.

Some good bouts have been staged

The fact that the only fresh food

bearing on some recent experiments in
food values that may change the diet
of the world.
Noted scientists, among them emil

liShed the fact that certain food sub
stances called 'vitamines" are not only
necessary to life and the proper de-
velopment of the body cells, but also
serve to prevent diseases die to mall
nutrition.
the staple foods of the day, because of
the modern methods used in preparing
them for the market, are entirely
lacking in vitamines, but that
oranges and lemons are p1entifully
supplied with vitamines of a very
hardy type.
1t is said oranges and lemons we're
chosen for the Deutschland's officers
and crew to balance the diet and sup
ply the healthful live freshness of
these fruit juices.
Experiments with animals of sew
eral kinds have proved that the juices

certain diets, lacking the juices The
animals have died. Other animals
