ANY German peace proposal at this

tion Of tremendously organized and
still powerful nation to gain it's own
ends,' declared American Minister
Maurice F. Egan at Copenhagen, in a
warning to the people Of America.
There will be no difficulty in financ-

the war with Germany and this can be
done without disturbing the country's
business, said William G.. McAdoo, Sec

In announcing that department Of
labor employment agencies throughout
the country had registered $4,000

Wilson, at Washington, said this
achievement was ''only minor step in

DENMARK.

Denmark will maintain her present
relations with foreign countries after
the war. Denmark is no bridge over
to the Scandinavian peninsula for Ger
many. The Danish products, mostly
agricultural, find an easier way to in
dustrfal Great Britain than to the in
dustrial districts Of Germany, from
which Denmark is separated by a gir-
die Of agricultural provinces. Den
mark receives large percentage Of
the traffic between Western Germany
and the Scandinavian peninsula and
she plays an important role in regard
to the tourist intercourse between the
North sea and the Baltic sea, and es-
pecially the Baltic provinces Of Rus
STA. The close relations between Den
mark on one side and Great Britain
and Russia on the other, are therefore
dictated by commercial reasons, and
Denmark has not forgotten the loss of
Schleswig-Holstein.
M. Borgjerg, editor of the Social Dem
okraten of Copenhagen, is carrying
German peace proposal to Russia. The
proposal was formulated by the Ger
man socialist majority group after
conference between Philip Scheide-
mann and Imperial Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg. Borgjerg succeed
ed in obtaining permission to enter
Russia after fortnight's effort.
German patrol ships are continuing
their activities against neutral ship
ping in the Skagerrack. Recently the
Scandinavian-American liner United
States was halted and examined.
While two good citizens of Marshal
were discussing the events of the day
they gradually became heated to an
unpleasant degree. Finally the man in
whose house they were rose and point
ed to the door, saying: "There is the
door, it is for you" The other man &C.
cepted the challenge without saying a
word. He simply lifted the door from
it's hinges and carried it to the market
place, where he left it. The weather
was cold at the time, and though the
door-carrier only followed the order
of the owner the latter may see fit to
bring the matter before the courts.
A new alderman in Ribe seems to be
less fond of his job than the average
American alderman. He did not want
to be reelected, and in order to be
sure of keeping out of Office he neg
lected to pay his taxes, which irregu-
larity deprived him of the right to
vote and to run for Office.

NORWAY.

The Norwegian passenger steamer
Haarfagre, playing between Frederiks-
havn, Denmark, and Christiansand,
Norway, was seized and taken to
German port.
G. Engelbert Graf, well-known
German social democrat, who has just
returned to Berlin from an extensive
trip through Sweden, Norway and Den
mark, apparently considers England as
the real authority in Norway. He
quotes statements pointing in that d.
rection, made by Swedish politicians.
He does not mention any names, but it
is no secret that Hjalmar Branting, the
leader of the social democratic party
in Sweden, is one Of these politicians.
In the opinion Of Mr.. Graf, Norway
will not display any desire for a close
cooperation with Germany after the
war, "in spite of all expenses for monu-
ments, Aalesund and trips to Norway
every year." This refers to the at
tempts undertaken by Kaiser Wilhelm
before the war to flatter the Norwe-
CLANS. The whole coast of Norway is
open to Great Britain large part Of
the Norwegian production is going to
that country, and England can at any
time completely shut off the Norwe-
gian import of foodstuffs. British cap
ital also dominates the Norwegian ship
ping companies. Mr.. Graf considers
Norway to BIZ at the mercy of Great
Britain.
The storthing has voted a life pension
Of $1,000 to Sven Aarrestad. His ca

recognized as the leader Of the tenn

age began to tell on him The govern
ment appointed him amtmend Of Ne

fifth of the men of the capital short

Minister Of Justice Urbye proposed
a very drastic law for muzzling the
press. The maximum punishment pro-
vided was ID fine OF $27 900 and two
years Imprisonment. The newspapers
of the different parties attacked the
bill. and the plan was defeated. It's
author also had to retire from the
cabinet, and the place has been filled
by Or. Q. A. Blehr. The Aftenposten
made very ugly dig for the press
muzz1ing proposition, saying in part
that It really aimed at putting the
press Of Norway in the same position
as during the worst era of the union
with Denmark, and that it would put
the press. at the mercy Of foreign
power whose representative is living
in the Norwegian capital. The power
alluded to must have been England.
Newspaper reports that America
would cease exports to neutrals caused
much anxiety in Norway, which is de-
pendent on America for grain, sugar,
salt pork and other provisions, petro!
leum and certain other raw materials1
The export of these articles from Nor
way Is forbidden, as the country is in
need Of them. The country's supply
Of grain, including the coming crop, is
sufficient until September if none is
exported. The embargo on American
oil would hit Norway especially hard,
as the fishing fleet uses oil-driven mo-
tors. Unless the United States per-
mfts exports to Norway under special
licenses forbidding re-export, all Of
Norway will soon be on the verge Of
starvation.
The government has provided $780,
600 for the expedition Of Capt. Road
Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer,
who is to sail for the Arctic in the
summer Of 1913 in an attempt to reach
the North pole.
