GERMANY FEARS NORWAY'S ENTRY
 INTO THE WAR
Huns Deeply Concerned
 Over Situation-Would Occupy Denmark.

Copenhagen, Nov. 27.-Behlnd the meeting of the Scandanivian monarch and ministers at Christiana, this week, lies the fear, unfounded, tho it may be. of Norway's entry into the war, and of the German menace that, in this case, she should feel safe to oc- cupy Denmark as counter measure. The Associated Press learns from a reliable source that the conference, which was arranged in consequence of an intimation from Germany that the growth of anti German sentiment in Norway, particularly after the sink ing of the convoy in the North sea by German cruisers, is being follow ed with concern by Germany, and that it is feared that Norway might be compelled to, either by excited public opinion or pressure from the allies, to enter the struggle, at least to the point of granting naval base to Eng land and the United States in which event Germany would feel called upon to seize a corresponding base in Dem mark.

 When Sheriff McGraw first saw Collin he was walking into Star City, with his camping outfit on his back. The sheriff thought that he might b can escape from the county farm and watched him. The man sneaked in behind the depot and hid behind an old ice house near that building. After these suspicious actions, the officer arrested him, and placed him in the Lincoln county jail at that place. Col lin stated that the reason he was anxious not to be seen was that he never went through a town, but all ways went around it land was only waiting for dark to come so that he might resume his journey.
 He stated that he did not register as he is not a. citizen of the United States, but his answers to the ques- tions regarding his being in that vii cinity were very evasive.
 Sheriff McGraw stated last night that as soon as United States officers arrived the suspect would be turned over to them.

German Spy Suspect Falls Into
 Hands of Sheriff ali Star Citv
Maps, German Literature, and Supposed Code Book Are Found in Possessio of Man Who Says He
 Avoids Towns, And Cities

On the suspicion that he is a spy in the employ of the German govern ment, John Sergy Collin, white man, aged p years, and who states that he is Russian. was arrested Monday af- ternoon at Star City by Sheriff B. F. McGraw.
 Maps of various sites in this state and in other territory and plans of number of buildings were found on the person of Collin and are being held by the Lincoln county authori- ties. Letters written by Collin in some foreign language were found and the arresting officials think possibly these may be code messages describ- ing the country through which Collin nas passed. A book printed in the German language, was also found on Collin. but the nature of the book has not been ascertained as no one in Star City is able to read German.
 Sheriff McBraw has notified the of- flee of the United States marshal at Little Rock of the arrest and in all probability Collin will be examined by government authorities.
 Collin, who is large, blonde man, looks, according to the Star City of ficials, like German and seems to be very we'll educated. He is very poorly dressed. however. and carried his own cooking utensils with him,
