and literatures. Arthur H. Rholl,
a graduate Of the Red Wing,
Minn., seminary, has been ap-
pointed to fill the new post as
instructor. The old efforts to in
terest the California state uni
versity at Berkeley, CAL, in Da-
nish literature to the extent that
a professorship be established,
are again about to be revived,
chiefly thru the initiative of
some Danish societies on the Pa
cific coast.
FIR. Rytz in Minneapolis has
completed the manuscript of a
particularly timely book on the
international events in Europe
which led up to the outbreak of
the war. Mr.. Rytz deals espe-
cially with the Russian phase of
the subject and also throws much
interesting light on the situation
in Germany from 1871 to 1914.
The author who expects to have
his book published simultaneous
ly in Danish and English, is a
Danish newspaperman and ma
tive Of Slesvig-Holstein. While
the work he has just completed
is very impartial, it is easy
enough to see that he is no par
ticular lover of "Deutschtum".
On the evening of September
20, the American Union of Swe-
dish singers as represented by a
magnificent male chorus in Min
neapolis, commemorated the cen
tennial of Gunnar Wennerberg,
the famous poet, teacher and
statesman whom Swedes all over
the world are proud of. One of
the soloists at the Wennerberg
concert which was given in the
auditorium of the Mill city, was
the baritone singer, Joel Moss
berg of Chicago. "Hor oss,
Svea!" one of Wennerberg's best
known songs, was rendered by
the great choir under the direc-
ton of Hjalmar Nilsson. The
rendering of several American
national songs lent an air of in
tense patriotism to the festival.
A statue of Wennerberg was
placed near the Minnehaha falls
a few years ago.
The elections in Sweden were
completed last week with the ex-
pected result, viz, the victory of
the liberal and social-democratic
parties. The COMPOSITION of the
new second chamber will be, as
follows: Socialists followers of
Hjalmar Branting), 86; socialists
of the left, IL; liberals, 81; con-
servatives, So; new peasant par
ties, IL. The socialists gained
altogether 19 seats while the con-
servatives lost %. A Norwegian
correspondent writes to the Lon
don Times under a Christiania
date line, regarding the effects
in Norway Of the American en-
barge on exports: "The news has
been received with calmness.
We all understand that the neu-
trail countries will more than
ever have to bear their part of
the burden of war. The time of
absolute neutrality is practically
past" That impression is con-
firmed by a perusal of lately ar
rived Norwegian newspapers.
Reports from Copenhagen indi-
cate that the Danes are. rather
skeptical regarding the truth of
the recently published disclo-
sures which tended to show that
the Russian and German emper-
ors were planning an invasion
of Danish territory. The Ber-
lingske Tidende takes up an at
titude of inquiry, but some of
the other leading papers are in
clined to believe parts Of the
story as it has been published.
