Germany Seeking to Hold Three
Scandinavian Kingdoms Neutral

and continue the three Scandinavian
Kingdoms in the path Of joint neutral
ity. King Gustave returned to Stock
holm and launched the suggestion of
a conference Of the three kings accom-
panied by the premiers and foreign
ministers at Christiania which was &C
cepted. the NorWegians being fiattered
with the thought Of tie first visit from
Swedish monarch in the Norwegian
capital since the separation of the two
countries 1t is difficult to judge how
far Germa y was actuated in its step
by genuine fear of Norwegian action,
how far by "a desire 10 force Norway
into toning down its strongly anti
German sentiment and wave the big
stick" over the three countries dur
ing the pending negotiations with the
United States and the Entente re-
gardinS the embargo and thereby get
as coed Il bargain as possible for Ger
many.
On the one hand. Danes in high posi-
tons in the secret with whom the CORE
spondent discussed the subject consider
cd it utterly out of the question that Nor
way of her own accord would abandon
neutrality. and said he attached no m
portance to the sporadic reports Of Amer
lean or British intention to seize base
in Norway the better TO combat the sub
marine. Prominent Norwegians declare
that war sentiment in their country is
negligible. The same view has been en-
pressed in statements in the Norwegian
parliament, probably inspired by the Ger
man warning.
One the other hand Germany is ev.-
IDENTIFY perturbed by the state OF Norwe-
gan pubic opinion. The German minis
ter to Norway. Admiral Won HintZe, who.
it is reported, has been sent to that coun~
try as the apostle of the strong hand,
has been visiting Berlin TO report the sit

pacifying mission as a mass of inspired
editorial matter is being telegraphed from

dents in Berlin in an endeavor to convince
Norwegians of the unwisdom OF extreme
anti-German feeling and Of the benevo-
lence Of German intentions as respects
them.

WHITE LIQUID USED
IN FIRING SHIPPING

Boston. Nov 27.-An innocent looking
white liquid. timed to burst into flames
by the strength or weakness of the solu-
ton has been the source of fires with
which American shipping has been men
aced ever since the war began, according
to Arthur Woods police commissioner of
New York who delivered an address to-
night.
The chemical, Mr. Woods said, was
the cause Of ruinous fires aboard sugar
ships at sea some months ago. For a
long time" he said, I'VE couldn't find
out how the inflammable material which
caused these fires was put aboard ship
But We think we have it now-at least no
more ships are being burned.
I'VE discovered a kind of stuff that
bursts into fame after a period of time
that may be closely calculated according
to the strength of the solution when il
is placed on cloth and left reasonably
exposed to air.
A demonstration had been given, M.
Woods said. in which a police inspector
had poured little LIQUID upon a cloth
saving that it would ignite within two
minutes-and 1t did so.

Practically every source whereby the

liquor from one state to another whose
laws prohibited its use went into et-
feet and many willy methods of carry :

clusetts on the Boston & Maine. and
ether arrivals from New Hampshire

been arrested in this city. SheriH
Graham is convinced that very little
drunkenness actually begins in this
city.
