been turned In. Servants, farmers.
the Crown Princess Cecilie and other
members OF the nobility were among the
contributors. The latter brought In
their gold plate and even wedding rings.
The doors were shut only temporarily
Saturday to permit expert computat ion
OF the results OF the Ave days. Other
