wealthy Swedish landowner,
hurried away from Norway
shortly after the laundering of
"Kristianiafjo jord,'' and the we'd

Last Saturday correspondence
was uncovered indicating that
the Swedish legation in Argen-
tine had been acting as a means
of secret communication be-
tween the German diplomatic
representative in Buenos Aires
and the Berlin foreign office. 1t
was shown that the Swedish le-
CATION had transmitted import
ant information relative to the
departure and arrival of certain
ships, thus, in many instances,
making them easy prey to the
German submarines. The state
department in Washington pub
lished the information it had
disclosed, and there is sure to be
some explanation from the Swed-
ish government.
The London Times of August
20, just received contains very
pessimistic reports about the
winter outlook in Denmark. The
harvest is said to have been very
disappointing, and fuel is ex-
ceedingly scarce. c. Stauning,
the former socialistic member of
the cabinet, said last week, ac-
cording to a cablegram, that
while all Danes fervently hoped
for the end of the war, they ap-
proved of President Wilson's re-
ply to the pope.-In Norway
conditions are said to be such
that great fears are felt for the
coming winter. There is only
about one months food and fuel
supply on hand.-The interna-
tional socialistic congress which
was scheduled to open at Stock
holm last week, has again been
postponed. 1t looks as tho there
won't be any congress at all.
Correction.-The editor Of our
News Among Scandinavians'
columns wants to correct a state
ment Inadvertently made in
those columns last week. 1t was
said that the Danish Brother
hood mass meeting in Minneapo-
lis had not been reported by the
only Danish newspaper in that
city. This statement was wrong,
and the editor cheerfully cor
fects it. To err is but human,
after all.

Mr.. and Mrs. R. Lillienschoild,
we'll known danes in Greater
New York, have recently cele-
brated their twenty-fifth we'd
ding anniversary.
Professor R. Hilleboe, formerly
of Benson, Minn:, has been ap-
pointed superintendent of the
Norwegian Lutheran Normal
school at Sioux Falls, S. D.
The famous Swedish soprano
singer, Anna Case who has been
singing with tha Metropolitan
Opera Company of New York for
several years, has left the oper-
attic stage for that of the motion
play.
From Venus, Neb., comes the
report that Ralph Madsen, a
young Dane living there, is the
tallest man in several states. He
measures 86 inches in height.
During four years of his early
youth he grew 2 feet 2 inches,
i.e., Al inches per year.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Graft, pop
ular among the Norwegians of
Seattle, Wash, have celebrated
their golden wedding. They were
married in the Trefoldigheds
church in Christiania in the au-
tumn of 1867. Mr.. Graft is a
railroad engineer and has con-
structed several lines for the
Northern Pacific road.
Mrs. c.. 0. Jepson, widow of
the Swedish constable at Neva-
da City, Mo-, has made applica-
tion for the position as her hus-
. bands successor in office. The
applicant promises to do her ut
most to enforce the laws, and it
is more than likely, according to
late reports, that her application
will be granted.
P. Bjoernskjold, a Danish ope-
ra singer, who recently arrived
in Chicago under contract to ap-
pear in Wagner Operas, is mark
ing time in the Windy city
while awaiting word from the
government as to whether or not
the performance of German ope-
ras will be permitted, in view of
the fact that the country is at
war with Germany. Many think
the government would make a
grave mistake by extending it's
war prohibitions to the field of
art and literature.
On Saturday, September 18th,
DR.. Fridtjof Nansen, the famous
Norwegian explorer, who heads
his country's special mission to
the American government, will
make his first public address
while on this visit to America.
DR.. Nansen has promised to
speak in the Academy of Music

auspices of various Norwegian
organizations. The possible sur.
plus will be divided between the
Nordmandsforbund in Christia-
MIA and the Norwegian orphan
age in Brooklyn.
Geo. Eckstein, a young Swede,

On Monday of this week, the
Danish orphanage at Perth Am
boy, now owned by the Danish
Lutheran church of America,
celebrated it's ninth anniversary
with speeches by Consul General
Georg Bech of New York and by
several ministers from the cities
on the Atlantic coast. The or
phanage recently moved into
larger and more sanitary quar-
ters. For some time it was con-
Quoted under the auspices of the
First district of the Lutheran
church, but at the time of the
church convention in 1916, it
was decided to the church under
the immediate control of the
First district.
Last week the Norwegian-Dan-
ish newspaper in Chicago, so
cial-Demokraten,' had it's Offices
raided in connection with the
federal cleanup of l. w. W..
members and socialists.-Three
days later, that is.slast Saturday,
the Norwegian-Danish Press AS
sociation adopted a ringing loyal
ty resolution at it's convention at
Fergus Falls, MINI. The resolu-
ton asserts that the publishers
and editors of Norwegian and
Danish papers in the northwest
are intensely loyal and patriotic.
The emphasis put into the reso-
luton is, in some measure, due
to the fact that a prominent at
torney recently had said that the
Norwegian farmers in North Da-
kota were disloyal, and that God
would soon be tired of listening
to prayers in Norwegian.
Carl Emil Fahlstrom, a young
Swedish-American who has just
returned to this country from a
visit to Sweden, has made a
thoro study of the sanitary con-
ditions in the cotton manufac-
ture of the United States. He
has found that more than 5000
people die every year of lung
diseases contracted because of
their occupation in the cotton in
dustry, and he has now after
much experimenting perfected a
ventilation system, specially
adaptable for cotton plants
whereby it will be possible, he
claims, to make the air in the
factories purer than it is even
in hospitals. Mr.. Fahlstrom has
invented several other ventila-
tion systems which have been in
stalled and work successfully in
this country as we'll as abroad.
The United Danish Societies,
which closed their convention in
Council Bluffs, Iowa, few days
ago, adopted a resolution of 10y
atty to the American govern
ment; the resolution also ex-
presses hearty approval of Presi-
dent Wilson's recently dis
patched reply osthe pope's peace
proposal. John J. Myrtue Of
Council Bluffs, was reelected
supreme president; Lars Mel
sen, Cedar Falls, Iowa, again be-
came supreme treasurer, and
Herlu Hansen of Clinton, Iowa,
was elected trustee. The conven-
tion designated Cleveland, O., as
the meeting place Of the organi-
zation four year hence.
S. c. Hiortdahl, commander of
the steamer, "Kristianiaf jord," :"
which recently foundered and

law of the Sabbath. Assuredly the
Jewish baker is entitled to his Sab

no baking on Saturday, admirable as
this is both from the Jewish and from
the patriotic American point of view.

FOOD CONSERVATION AMONG JEWISH
PEOPLE
Jewish Bakers Discontinue Saturday Baking.

and the paucity of flour The public
has proved itself ready to cooperate
with the large department stores in
limiting the return-goods nuisance, a
costly and unnecessary waste of hui
man labor. There is much or more
need for the wholehearted co-opera-
ton of the public in this movement
to abolish the return-bread nuisance
which has meant SO objectionable a
destruction of the bread of human
life.
The Jewish public of this city,
which buys its bread to SO large an ex-
tent from small retailers and delica-
lessen stores, will prove their patrio-
tism and their Jewish traditional
sense Of the wrong of food wasting,
by making it possible for these retail
ers to cooperate with the bakers in
abolishing the costly and unnecessary
return of unsold bread.
One of the unexpected results of
the movement for food conservation
necessitated by the diminishing sup
ply of food in the world, has been the
action of the Jewish bakers in resolv-
ing to discontinue Saturday baking.
This action is at once patriotic one
and that is of peculiar appropriate
ness for Jewish bakers to take. 1t is
a tribute to their willingness to forego
personal profit for the sake of the
country. 1t is splendid sign of their
readiness to make personal sacrifice
when the country calls.
In order that this action shall be
sustained and shall have the widest
influence, the cooperation of the pub
lie is necessary. The public must
show that they approve of the patri
otto action of the bakers, by accepting
the new situation gladly and without
complaint The public must show
that they appreciate both the gravity
of the situation created by the world
wide food shortage, and the motives
of action of the Jewish bakers. Par

of the sale of Liberty Loan Bonds
issued by Secretary of the Treasury

The Government of the United
States, through the Commercial Econ
omy Board of the Council of National
Defense, has recently asked the bakers
of the country to discontinue the prac-
tice of exchanging un-sold bread for
freshly baked bread. The Board is
now asking the consumers of the
country to assist the baker in his eff
forts to do away with this wasteful
practice.
A countrywide investigation con-
Quoted by the Commercial Economy
Board convincing it that fully 5 per
cent of the bread baked by whole4
sale bakers was returned to them by
bread retailers. Part of this bread
was sold to the poor and to charitable
institutions but nearly half of it was
disposed of for chicken and hog food.
The result has been that some 100000
barrels of good wheat and rye flour,
made up for human consumption at
great cost Of manufacture and dis
tribution, has been fed to animals or
thrown away. Ultimately, the public
has paid for this waste in the higher
price necessarily charged by the baker
to cover this loss.
Bread one day old is good food
it is, in fact, better and more digesti-
Bile than fresh bread. When the Jew
ish public considers that all of Europe
is eating war-bread- bread in which
potatoes, oats, barley and even fibre
is substituted for wheat; and that no
fresh bread whatsoever may be sold
in England, it will be ready to do its
share by accepting day-old bread,
when necessary. Even this will not
be necessary if the consumer will as
sist the retailer by ordering her bread
in advance.
The bakers of this city have loyalty
agreed to abide by the wish of the
Council of National Defense, made
doubly urgent on account of the war

ACCOUNTANTS CON-
GENERATED FOR Gov
EMINENT WORK

Washington, Sept. 11.-Announce-
ment of the concentration of large
number of the country's leading public
accountants for important war service
in government auditing and super
vision was made by A. F. Richardson,
secretary of the American Institute of
Accountants. at the opening Of their
annual meeting here today.
An effort is being made by the In
stitute to put accountancy service dur
ing the war on as high a plane as has
been achieved by British accountants
since the opening of the war.
Secretary Richardson's report states
that no body of men have performed
a higher or more disinterested war
service and that no provision has given
a greater percentage Of it than have
the accountants.
A year ago the American Institute of
Accountants severed direct connection
with state societies of accountants al
though still maintaining intimate re-
lationship. and it was reported at to-
days meeting that the centralized ma
tional organization has been an i'm
portant factor in making the war work
highly effective.
The Institute will continue in SEES
sion until Thursday.
