Travellers Say King Will Ask

The neutral liner Bergensfjord ar
rived yesterday with 92S passengers
without having sighted either a hostile
submarine or raider. Several American
passengers who came from Norway re-
ported that they thought it would be 2
matter of only few weeks before that
country would enter the war on the side
cf the Allies.
The food shortage in Norway is so
great that the people in the smaller
villages are living on one meal day.

passenger. Goal last winter went 10
500 ton, and even then was unob-
tainable Whea. is so scarce that il is
seldom used for ordinary bread. while

ships have been captured or sunk by
the German submarines, and Norway is
pinched beyond belief.
Another hardship is the poor fish
ing, one OF the chief sources of food in
ordinary times of all the Scandinavian
countries. A large number Of fishing
smacks have been sunk by mines OF
captured by the Germans, and mines
exploded under water have driven the
fish away"
Other passengers reported that in
many Of the smaller villages petitions
against the high cost OF living are be-
ing passed for signatures OF the heads
Of families, who also petition that they
be allowed TO fight the German menace
openly.
Many Of the passengers predicted
that King Haakon would ask the Nor
wegian Parliament 10 declare a state OF
war against Germany when it convened
on June %.
