CHRISTIANIA, April 1S.-All
Scandinavia is worried over the pos
sibility of America shutting off food
supplies from neutrals and concen-
trating on the. provisioning of Its
new allies in the war. The anxiety
with which such a possibility IS
viewed was revealed today by Pre-
mier Knudson of Norway. in an in
terview with the United Press.
"Such a move would be disastrous
to u.s." said Premier Knudson. 1T
would cut off more than half Of our
grain supply All our statesmen, all
of our people are hoping there vii!
be no such action. 1t seems incred-
ible that such undeserved >unfriend-
liness is seriously contemplated"
"Is any American food going
through Norway to Germany" the
United Press correspondent asked
the premier.
'"rhere is absolutely no leakage
into Germany" he declared emphati-
cally, although by agreement with
England, we are sending into Ger
many comparatively small guam
tity Of Norwegian fish,"
Premier Knudson expressed the
greatest anxiety over news of any
American embargo on food ship
ments to neutrals Not only are the
Norwegians exercised, but word re-
ceived here from Sweden and Den
mark indicates similar apprehension
in those nations.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-"Some-
where" in the Atlantic today, the
navy is trying % round up the skulk-
ing German submarine which yester-
day fired the first shot of the war at
the United States destroyer Smith.
What craft was engaged In the hunt
Or just where and how it proceeds
must be withheld for military reasons.
One thing, however, is certain-the
hunt is on with all the enthusiasm of
men who have been spelling for fight
The warning to shipping to beware
of this new lurking peril still stands
and will be lifted only when the sub
marine has been destroyed or captur-
ed, or when it is reasonably sure that
she is streaking homeward.
Since the story reached the navy
department, wild rumors Of the cap
ture or destruction Of the submarine
have been widely circulated. The
censor promises that any such news
will be made public as soon as it
reaches his ears officially.
The incident is being used by re-
cruiting officers, the country over to
prove their plea-"join the navy it
you want to get action and adventure"
The navy department today asked
the destroyer Smith 80 make direct
report on the submarine incident and
the reply was expected this after
noon Some naval men doubted the
accuracy of the submarine story,
thinking that watchers on the de-
stroyer may have been mistaken. 1t
was pointed out that there had
been no raiding yesterday and that
if there was a submarine off New
York she would probably have start
ed general attacks at once.
These speculations. however, were
not deterring the navy department
from making very thorough search.
