(By }. w. r. Mason.)

New York, Nov. 28.-Independent
action by the Norwegians against the
piratical sinking of the Scandinavian
ships by the German submarines may
follow the meeting of Kings of Swed-
en-, Norway and Denmark with their
advisors.
An agreement which was formed
earlier in the war by the three Scan
dinavian countries concerning war
policies in common has already been
broken by the Swedish governments
messenger boy aid to Germany.
No Longer Bound.
Norway therefore is no longer
bound to the joint action and the Nor
wcgians have full justification for
entering the war with the allies, not
only because of the attacks which the
Germans are making upon her ships,
but also because the kaiser recently
promised a policy of summarizing dis
elimination for the benefit of the fav-
ored neutrals.
Argentina Fares Better.
The Argentina government has re-
Gently received the promise from the
kaiser for indemnity for the ships
which have been destroyed by the
German submarines aDl a promise
that the Argentina flag would here
after be held in respect while out up
on the high seas.
Norway has not been able to re-
ceive any such consideration from the
kaiser and thus the humiliation is
that much deeper, because the kaiser
thought that as Norway was in with
Denmark and Sweden, they could
hold her in check.
Copenhagen Expects Break.
Copenhagen, Nov. 28.-Behind the
meeting of the Scandinavian mon
archs and ministers at Christiania this
week lies the fear, unfounded though
it may be, of Norway's entry into the
war and of the German menace that,
in this case, she should feel called up
on to occupy Denmark as a counter.

Paris, Nov. 28.-Paris began to spec
ulate today on the likelihood that
America would dominate in the inter,
allied war conference which is to be
held in Paris.
The newspapers today gave great
prominence to belated dispatches
which reported a revision of the
American military plans and the in
creasing of the fighting forces to five
million men.
Editorials frankly speculated on the
action that this might possibly effect
the fear, if there are any fears, that
the American government would un
duly dominate the conference.

The Prussian soldiers fought with
much desperation, and fought harder
than they ever did before in an effort
to regain from the British the Bourbon
woods which the British captured sew
eral days ago.
Woods Reduced to Sticks.
The Bourbon woods is now nothing
but mere bunch of sticks. All of
the great trees have been torn down
by the high explosives which the Brit
ish forces used, and they were smash
ed and uprooted by the tanks which
the British also put into the fight.
Where there was once a large
grove of shade trees there is nothing
but bare spot three thousand by
twenty-five hundred yards in size,
1t is now soaked with the blood of
the fighting that has been raging for
several days over the trees.
