NORWAY REFUSES
GERMAN DEMAND
WILL NOT GIVE UP TRUNK OF
MAN HELD ON DISCOVERY
OF U-BOAT PLOT.
N0RWEGIANS ARE AROUSED
Ton of Explosive Found, Some in Ar
tificiaI Coal Lumps, Some In
Cisarets-Had Planned to
Blow UP Vessels.

London, June 27.-Reports received
here from Norway say the German le-
CATION in Christiania formally protest
ed against the breaking of the Ger
man official seals in the baggage Of
Aaron Rautenfels, German, who Is
among those arrested in connection
with the conspiracy to blow up ships.
The legation demanded the surrender
of his trunk, but without success.
There is no confirmation Of the state
ment printed in Paris that Germany
asked Norway to apologize for the
breaking of the seals.
The recall Of Germany's minister,
'Michaelis, is attributed to Norways
'insistent demand. He has been sue
ceeded by Admiral Won Hintze, former
minister to Mexico and China
German newspapers generally re-
frain from bothering their readers
with embarrassing details of the con-
spi~acy at Christiania. They eliminat-
ed from a Norwegian News Agency
dispatch all reference to German COM
plicity in the plot to sink ships.
Discovery Of the German plot to de-
stroy Norwegian steamers by explo-
sives unearthed late last week has
appalled, the whole Norwegian nation.
The newspapers demand publication
of all the facts in the case and OF the
steps which are being taken to bring
the matter before the German govern
ment.
In all a ton of explosives has been
discovered, concealed IN artificial
Jumps of coal, which presumably were
to be placed in ships bunkers and IN
bombs fitted with the most ingenious
mechanism.
It has developed that trunk full OF
explosives was brought to Christfania
in February by courier of the Ger
man foreign office, whose official seal
was on the trunk. The trun'
addressed to the German embassy
and, according to international usage,
it was admitted without examination.
After the discovery of the explosives
the German embassy declared the
trunk was destined for Finland. but
no explanation was given as to why 1t
had remained here so long.
The explosives were found in all
manner of articles, including glass
walls, fountain pens, pencils, cigarets
and tobacco.
At the examination of Aaron Rau
tenfels, a German citizen, and others
arrested in connection with the case IT
was admitted that explosives were
also to have been placed on steamers
bound for America.

ING BACK INTO COAL CENTER
AS NET is TlGHTENED.
SERIES OF SMALL THRUSTS

-Teutons Kept Guessing.

London, June Fisherman troops
are falling steadily back into Lens and
preparing to make desperate resist
ancc to the British assaults on that
city. Every dispatch from the front
emphasized the steady encrOachment
of the British lines around the chief
coal city of France.
Field Marshal Haig has not utilized
& general assault movement to achieve
gains about the city since the general
British offensive brought troops with
In striking distance. Instead he is
adopting the plan of biting away"
with small local attacks here and
there all around the city, each bite
taking a little more ground. Through
out British artillery is raining shells.
This type of attack has resulted in
amazingly insignificant losses to the
British.
The German commanders have been

British Army Headquarters in
France, June 27.-In addition to Il
number of successful raids at various
points, we have since Sunday made
solid progress southwest of Lens,
where our line had been advanced
only 500 yards in the two and a half
months since April II. Now We are
pushing forward on wide front both
north and south of the Couchez river
The enemy seems to be falling back
and offering little resistance.
What the official communique Mon
day night referred to as successful
minor operation in this region had
significance beyond its actual dimen-
sions, as the advance gave US the
slope of Hill 65, "a dominating height
in this section, which had lain 500
yards in front of our line hitherto.
The English troops took the hill
with difficulty, although the Germans
attached sufficient importance to the
positions to tell the men Of the Fifty
sixth Prussian division, which had
been holding the hill. that if they re-
captured it they would be given rest.
1t was large bride, but the enemy
never came near to recapturing the
position. On the contrary, while we
hold the hill. the enemy has evacuat-
ed the whole complicated mass of
trench lines Immediately before and
around the mill and has fallen back
into the fringes Of Lens itself.
The suburb OF Lens on the western
side is Cite du Moulin. 1t already
has been badly knocked about but has
further been absolutely leveled by the
enemy. Other spaces running back
into the city have been similarly lev
eled, presumably to give room for field
fire.
