NORWAY WOULD KEEP
FRIENDSHIP OF u. S.

CHRISTIANIA. August 1.-THE con-
ference of Scandinavian and other neu-
trail ministers will be convened here in
September. but there is a strong feeling
against any agreement being reached
which would tend to disturb the friend
ly relations existing between Norway
and the United States.
The ground is taken that Norway's
position and interests regarding the
American export proposals are so diff
ferent from those of the other coun-
tries that it would be against Norway'a
vital interests for Sweden or any other
neutral to take action against the
United States. 1t is considered. there
fore, that Norway should treat this i'm
portant question from her own stand
point.

Why He Attacked Belgium.

six In a telegram from London my
Ambassador informed me he under
stood the British government would
guarantee neutrality of France and
wished to know whether Germany
would refrain from attack. tcle-
graphed to his majecty the king pers
sonally that mobilization being ALE
ready carried out could not be stopped.
but It his majecty could guarantee
with his armed forces the neutrality OF
France j would refrain from attack
ing her, leave her alone and employ
my forces elsewhere. His majesty an
swered that he thought my OFFER was
based on a misunderstanding and as
far as can make out Sir Edward Grey
never took my offer into serious con-
sideration. He never answered it, In
stead he declared England had to de-
fend Belgian neutrality. which had to
be violated by Germany on strategical
grounds, news having been received
that France was already preparing to
enter Belgium and the king Of the
Belgians having refused my petition
for free passage under guarantee OF
his country's freedom. I am most grate-
full for the Presidents message, Will

fired upon. Karl is a member of the
attacking party. but when brought face
to face with Angela, who is accused
of being spy, he renounces his al
legiance to Prussia and is ordered to
be shot. They both escape in an al
most miraculous manner. Hobart Bos-

Shippensburg Carriage
Works Damaged by Fire

Shippensburg, Pa, March 9-Fire
yesterday morning wrecked the big
carriage factory of Thrush and Slough,
with a loss of more than $4,000. The
blaze started in the Office on the first
floor of the building about 430 o'clock
and the firemen worked until noon be-
fore the flames were extinguished. The
fire was confined to the main building,
but other structures of the plant were
menaced and were somewhat damaged
by fire and water. Defective wiring
is blamed for the fire. All of the tools,
material and equipment were lost, and
about $50 finished and partly COM
pleted vehicles destroyed.
The firm employed fifty men and was
rushed with orders. Rebuilding will be
begun as soon as insurance matters
are adjusted.

der of the firm, who has been in active
charge Tor 90 years, is Frustrated as
result of the loss and excitement
