NORWAY STOPS EXPORTS
OF PYRITES TO GERMANY
In Return Britain Allows Coal Ship
ments to Scandinavian Nation

London. Feb. ia dispatch to Reu-
ter's Telegram Company from Chris
tiania says the special restrictions i'm
posed by Great Britain on the export
of coal 70 Norway have been with
drawn, while Norway has stopped Ii
censes for the export Of pyrites TO
Germany.
The latter question, which is the
main point OF difference between the
two governments, will be referred to
two lawyers, and should Norway's con.
tention be upheld licenses again Will
be granted.
The trouble between Great Britain
and Norway with regard to the ex-
ports Of British coal to Norway arose
over the British governments dissat-

About four hundred Americans are
rer.orted 70 behere in this condition,
aside from the little diplomatic party
accompanying Charles J. Vopicka, the
American Minister accredited to Ru-
mania. Serbia and Bulgaria, who was
recently ordered home. The situation
for many of these Americans is highly
unfortunate. as they have been here fo-
two weeks or longer awaiting the de-
parture of a steamer.
Their funds are approaching eX-

Depend on British Funds

Britain's amazing financial effort
means much to her allies, as we'll as TO
herself, for they are coming more and
more than ever to depend upon her
funds to tide them over their financial
difficulties. Upon Britain also falls the
task of keeping open supplies Of food
and munitions.
Britain has reached a point in the
war where the future course Of events
will be determined largely on her lead.
This SOLDERING responsibility is reflected
in the people and their leaders. There
is less carping criticism by the "outs"
and more tolerance on the part OF the
"ins." The leaders are taking the
people into confidence, unafraid of
their weakness, however bad the truth
may be.
Willing TO Make Sacrifices
Lloyd Georges speech in Parliament
Thursday probably will contain recon-
mendations, which is only another word
for rules under the present conditions,
but there is no reason to expect any
thing except full approval from the
people.
Drastic import restrictions mean SIM
pier living. and that will be hardship
for many Englishmen who still have
plenty of money, but they will accept
them willingly, as they understand that
all of Britsin's power is now needed to
win the war

,By Cable 70 The Tribune. ]

London, Feb. l9.-During the proven
bal calm before the storm. which is
certain to break, the public is anxiously
awaiting the next step by the army in
its campaign along the Ancre. France
is no less keenly interested, for the
French frankly admit that Britain is
now bearing the whole weight Of the
offensive work in the West.
Frances share in the future fighting
will be large, though perhaps not as
great as in the past. But the new Brit
ism army is prepared to shoulder most
of the coming burdens, realizing that
the drain on France has been almost
staggering.

Stiff Sentences Imposed Upon conspir
ators Tried in Milwaukee.

Detroit, Dec. 22.-Albert Kaltschmidt,
who with four or five others was con-
victed in federal court early this morn
ing on a conspiracy. was sentenced a
few hours later to four years imprison-
ment at Fort Leavenworth and pay
fine OF $4,000. 1t was the maximum
punishment Under the law.
Mrs. Ida Met his sister, was SEN
fenced to three years In the local
house Of correction and fined $4,000.
Fritz Nief. her husband, and Karl
Schmidt and his wife. Marie. were SEN
fenced to two years imprisonment and
fined $4,000 each.
Franz Resta, 70 year old German,
was the only one OF the six acquitted
on three counts He was held. however,
to answer two other indictments pend
ing against him. The jury was out
more than thirteen hours, several
times asking additional instructions
from the court
In passing sentence Judge Arthur
Tuttle pointed out that the statute un-
der which the defendants were con-
victed was framed by congress during
peace times and therefore It was not
possible to impose heavier penalties.
The charges against KaItschmidt
were the setting on foot In the United
States a military enterprise against
Canada, a conspiracy to dynamite the
Detroit Schrew works and plot to
dynamite the st. Claire river tunnel

The plant. At Essen, the main
establishment Of the krupps, tho

Of arms and munitions, employed
about 10000 men before tho war.
Facts relating to its present size
are kept secret. lt was reported

that about 10000 persons. including
several thousand women, were at
work there, and that 10000 were to
be added to the force. Early this
year there was strike at the

to lack Of food, It was reported
10000 workers were involved and

Scores Of Arrests lndicated---Swsdss

For conspirators In Milwaukee.

Washington, Dec. 22.-An extensive
traffic in written communications to
Germany and Austria and to northern
European neutrals. involving invisible
ink, has been discovered and stopped
by customs officials. It was disclosed
today.
The traffic. It was disclosed. was dar-
ried on largely by Swedish ships and
marine men.
seoess Of Arrests Probable.
Scores Of arrests probably will be
made soon. Evidence that the chan
nels Of communication have been open
ever since the United States entered
the war has been uncovered and Off
cials suspect that much OF the infor-
nation the German government has
received has been transmitted by
we'll organized system.
Twenty per cent of the letters writ
ten In the United States or on ship
board and heretofore sent to Europe
by messenger have been found to bear
messages in invisible ink or written In
code.
Information For Germany.
The discoveries were made by GUS
toms officials several weeks ago. A
strict system OF inspection OF ships,
their crew and cargoes was begun and
the dangerous nature OF many COM
munications found on shipboard was
Immediately discovered. This action
taken suddenly caused the discoveryYof
many letters. These were examined
by chemists and code experts and ono
in five were found to contain informa-
ton intended to reach the German
government.
There Is evidence that certain per-
sons in this country. many OF whom are
Swedes or Norwegians. have made
much money in transmitting these let
ters. BY these means the British CEN
sorship was evaded.
