SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT HAP
PENINGS IN FAR OFF
NoRTHLAND.
ITEMS FROM THE OLD HOME
Resume of the Most important Events
in Sweden, Norway and Denmark
OF interest to the Seandinavians
in America.

At present the scandinavian cOun-
tries are dependent upon imports Of
food produces from America. If Swe-
den. Norway and Denmark had not
had a surplus of food stored up for I'M
expected events they would already
have been in the grasp of a real fam
ine But this surplus is now exhaust
ed. which means that the Scandinavian
countries are dependent on the Ameri-
can market for their very existence
more than ever before The eyes of
the three Scandinavian governments
are open TO the dangerous possible
ties of the future The food problem
is closely connected with the coal
shortage IN these countries. 1t is true
that Great Britain allows Scandi-
navian steamers to coal in ner har-
bOrS and TO take in ca-gJeS of coal des-
tined to their home countries, but only
on certain terms. They must, for in
stance. make a certain number of So
called war trips" In allied service,
mostly to France, before they are al
lowed to get coal. even for their own
use. This system naturally delays the
transport to the Scandinavian cOun-
tries. not only of coal, but also of food
shifts. To this difficulty must be fur
Their added the dangers from Ger
man submarines, especially in the
North sea, which up TO this time has
prevented Sweden and Denmark from
resuming the sailings Of their ships be-
tween Sweden and Danish ports and
ports in Great Britain. This suspen-
sion of sallings has been considered
by the allies as an unfriendly act and
resulted in q British order I'm coun-
Gil to hold all Swedish and Danish
ships in British ports until the North
sea traffic has been resumed and other
British demands accepted Sweden has
also been asked to remove the mines
In the KOgrund channel in Oeresund,
thus making it possible for allied ships
still in Baltic ports to reach British
harbors and help to relieve the pres
ent shortage of tonnage The Swedish
government has refused TO subE.it to
this demand. This explains why the
Swedish-American liner Stockholm
has been held in Halifax. n. s., for the
last two months, and why the Scandi-
navian-American line has not yet re-
sumed sailings between Copenhagen
and New York. Norway has capitu-
lated before the British demands. and
the ban on Norwegian shipping has
therefore been lifted, although not
completely.

This enables the war department to
appoint suitable young men who are
twenty-one years of age at the end of
the training period. The maximum age
is forty-four years. 1t is expected that
students at colleges who are members
of the Reserve Officers Training corps
and who are especially fitted to become
members of the first ten thousand will
be selected by the regular army officer
on duty at the college and admitted to
these camps. Such students should
preferably go to the camp that per-
