They are a fundamental economic ne

"The initial outlay in the building Of

Well, what happens here with the
Germans? Every little while stands Ii
in the papers some banker or head Of

prominent German is arrested, or
President Wilson stops the German
insurance companies several months
late from getting all the information
they want about ships sailing-and
so forth-undsoweiter-
What is all that? A drop in the
bucket. For every prominent German
there are thousands, not so promin-
ent. The information peddled direct
before, will come to the German in
surance companies indirect, maybe,
or at least to individuals by one
means or another, as long as Ger
mans are free to look and listen for
it.
There are a. few things l WOULDN'T

did not act without good reason
when IL selected him as chief spokes-
man on this important mission. and
Norwegians at home and abroad will
rejoice that he responded to the
country's call and came like Cincin-
natus from the plough-if one can
so call his beautiful country estate
at Lysaker near Christiania-
IL is not the first time Nansen has
felt 1t his duty to give UP for time
his scientific work and home life.
In 1905 he rendered his country most
valuable services in pleading her
cause in England, where The Lon
don Times" confined convincing
articles from his pen, whose correct
ness and accuracy could not be
challneged. and where the public was
further enlightened concerning the
Scandinavian issues by that admir-
able, clear and concise pamphlet on
Norway and the Union with
Sweden"
After this it was only natural that
he should be urged to serve as Nor
ways first separate diplomatic
representative at the Court of st.
James. We recall with what keen
regret the court took leave of him
when a few years afterward he felt
he wanted and ought to return to
his professorship at Christians uni
versity, and what he evidently con-
sidered his chief work in life scien-
tific and historical research. The
result of this work has appeared in
an occasional book, written in his
terse and forceful style = his
contribution to the discussion on the
old Morse visits to the American
continent, the account of the expedi-
ton he made with Consul Lied,
Through Siberia, etc. besides
articles. His forceful pen has sever
al times uttered a most timely word
of warning, where such seemed
necessary on account of some un-
wholesome phase of poiticaIor social
conditions in Norway.
Always a liberal, he has during
the last dozen years. since the great
events of 1905, in which he took
such a prominent part, kept entirely
out of politics. In possessing the
confidence, respect and good will of
al parties he is peculiarly fitted to
serve the country in time of need
or national crisis. For his present
American mission he is eminently
and personal attributes. The practi-
cal question of provisions is one with
which he has had to deal on his
expeditions. His diplomatic services
will stand him in good stead in
carrying on negotiations and effect
ing international agreements. His
forceful eloquence and impressive
personality will gain him a hearing
and accomplish results that could
not be realized by man of smaller
calibre. -.
1t is nearly twenty years since we
saw hansen in the United States,
where his lecture tour then re-
sembed a triumphal march through
the country. We are. indeed eager
to welcome him again, and not least
because he comes so we'll qualified
to perform a mission of supreme
Importance to Norway.

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

Minneapolis Tribune: The fellow
who is most anxious to quit fighting
is the one who is nearest to the end
of his staying powers. The allies are
not saying anything about quitting;
on the contrary they are making
preparations for at least another
year of war, or as many as may be
necessary to win. Germany is talk
ing peace all the time. She wants
peace without indemnities and an
nexations," says the reichstag,
though it has developed that that
does not mean exactly what 1t says.
The new government is talking
about q peace by understanding,
which is only another effort to get
the allies into a conference IN the
hope that her secret agents may
sow seeds of discord and possibly
detach one or more from the allied
group.
If the allies were as eager for
peace as the Germans it would be
interpreted as due to serious ex-
haustion of their forces and supplies.
Eagerness for peace ON the part or
Germany must naturally be inter-
preted the same way.

WHAT BOOKS FOR THE

When you pick a few books out Of
your library to donate to the Fargo
collection for the soldiers in the
trenches,-for Of course you are go
ing to do your share. in this-stop
a minute and think.
Picture yourself a soldier, "at the
end Of a perfect day, after ten or
twelve hours of watching through
a trench periscope, standing in
water to your knees. listening to
shells whistling by and watching
bombs explode. What kind Of pleas

forget plenty Of Kipling, "Stalky &
CO., the barrackroom ballads, the
plain Tales From The Hills, and
be sure THE Brushwood Boy" is
some place in the collection.

Wha6is not Of least interest to us
Norwegians here in America in con-
nection with the commission that Is
here TO negotiate with the American
government for food and other sup
plies is that it is headed by Fridtjof
Nansen.
There is not another name in Nor
way which in the same degree both
commands our respect and appeals
to our imagination. Explorer and
sportsman, diplomat and statesman,
historian and scientist, he occupies
a unique place in our national life.
We like to think Of him as the
embodiment of our best national
traits-as the true descendant and
present day type Of the old Morse
viking. The Norwegian government
