The Germans involved were acquitted.
 Of the Norwegians involved, two were captains on route steamers be- tween Newcastle and Bergen, who had been paid to report to the German es- pionage control in Bergen everything they saw in England and on their way between England and Norway.
 The espionage control was estab lished, it is charged, by the Antarctic explorer Lieutenant F'ilchner who. be- fore the war, had been very kindly re- reived everywhere in Norway, had been the guest of the Geographical Society. and who now used his knowledge to plot against this country. draw Norwe- gian men in his net and make them traitors to their own country. The whole press condemned Filchner. The whole nation felt ashamed and dishon- Ored by this case, remembering the way the Swedish Baron Von Rosen, with his anthrax and glanders bacilli in sug ar, was treated by Norwegian authori- ties and the way German proved spy, Baumcister, also was allowed peaceful ly to go back to Germany.
 In the legislature it was strongly de- manded that the police authorities and the department of justice, hereafter should see that the nation was ridden of such German posts.
 And in spite of all this, in spite of the nearly unanimously demand to stop ex- port of anything the country neecs for it's own citizens, the fish export to Ger many still is going on and the export of home made farm products and canned milk is not stopped, although the pros poets for the people in the coming fall and winter are worse than ever.
 Why the government which week after week suffers humiliations at the hands of the German, has not stopped all export on Germany until satisfac- tion is given. is regarded here as mystery. A great many anti-socialists agree with the socialists who criticize the government fol having spent $100,- 900, 900 in three years on the neutrality guard. The socialists say it would have been better to use this money to relieve the high cost of living, assert ing that the naval and army defense is in too poor a condition to be of any use and that the money is wasted. 9th CT citizens who believe in armament for the defense of the country now ask, with the socialists, what the country has obtained for the $100, 900, 900. They indignantly declare that more than 400 Norwegian vessels have been destroyed.

BOOKLET TELLS
 OF BLUE SKY LAW

The state corporation commission has issued a booklet containing the in- vestment company law of this state, commonly known as the blue sky" law, which the commission desires to put into the hands of every citizen who is likely to engage in the pur- chase of stock. These booklets are sible circulation.
 The law affords all the protection against wild caters" that any law can give but purchasers of stocks themselves must exercise some pre- cautions based upon knowledge such as the law affords. When application
 is made for a permit to sell stock, if proper showing is made the corpora tion commission must issue the permit. Stock, however, is sometimes unlaw-
 fully sold without a permit and that ffact may not become known to the com- mission. Citizens should protect them selves in this respect by requiring the seller to exhibit the permit, as the law provides.
 The permit also specifics that so
 much of the proceeds from the sale of the stock must be put into the inn provement or development of the property on which the stock was issued but the commission has no means of Knowing whether that condition is full filled. The appropriation for the an- | nual expenses of the commission is in- sufficient for that purpose so that it deVOfves upon the stockholders them selves to inquire what use is being
 made of the money they invest.
