ITEMS FROM THE OLD HOME
Resume Of the Most important Events
in Sweden, Norway and Denmark
OF Interest to the, seandinavians
in America.

The three Scandinavian nations.
Norway. Sweden and Denmark,
through Identical notes, the Norwe-
gian copy of which was handed the
state department at Washington re-
Gently by Minister Bryn, have express
ed their lively interest in President
Wilson's proposals looking towards
the establishment of durable
peace" and pledged their deepest
sympathy" with all efforts to shorten
the war.
Unlike the Swiss government which
offered to help in any way, mo matter
how modest" the Scandinavian Uoun-
tries make no direct offer of cO-opera-
ton. This fact attracted particular in
tereSt because Norway, especially. has
been one Of the greatest sufferers from
the war among the neutrals. The state
department made public the Norwe-
gian note without comment and in line
with the policy of silence adopted by
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing, no other official information con-
corning peace moves was forthcoming
during the day.
The text Of the note follows:
ut is with the most lively interest
that the Norwegian government has
learned of the proposals which the
president of the United States has
just made with the purpose of facili-
taIing measures looking toward the
establishment of durable peace,
while at the same time seeking TO
avoid any interference which could
cause pain TO legitimate feelings.
1.-THE Norwegian government would
consider itself failing in its duties to-
wards its own people and towards all
humanity if it did not express its deep
est sympathy with all efforts which
could contribute TO put an end TO the
ever increasing suffering and the NOR
al and material losses. 1t has every
hope that the initiative efforts of
President Wilson will arrive at re-
suit worthy of the high purpose which
inspired it,"
