For the first time in the his
tory Of Chicago, a European
steamship company has ordered
steamer built in that city; it
is the Dana Company of Copen-
hagen, which has made contracts
for building the steamer, Dame

S470,000; the boat will leave it's

thereafter will proceed to Den

The Norwegian language is
taught in schools in the follow
ing Minnesota towns: Minnea-
polls, Duluth, Willmar, Faribault,
Madison, Dawson, Thief River
Falls, Crookston, Halstad, Foss-

Henning, Window, Benson, De-
troit, Bagley, Pcreson, St. James,
Cottonwood, Pelican Rapids,
Montevideo, Hill, Harmony, Bel
grade, Spring Grove, New Lon

Swedish population Of Minnesota
is larger than the Norwegian, it
seems that more interest in the
natal language is evinced by the
latter than by the former.
In 1907 a Swedish Chamber of
Commerce was established in
New York, with headquarters in
the Produce Exchange Building.
Last week it held it's eleventh
annual meeting, and the direc-
tors reviewed the activities of
the past ten years. The Cham
Der has 631 members, 1862 of
whom reside in Sweden, 259 in
the United States, and 10 in
other countries; the membership
has been nearly doubled since
1914. The aim of the Swedish
Chamber of Commerce is to
bring Sweden and America into
closer commercial relations, and
to facilitate export and import.
The fact that the National City
Bank Of New York has decided
to open a branch in Copenhagen
is, in various quarters, taken to

ent peace rumors, lately emanat-

protocols will be signed in the
Danish Capital when the decisive
hour has struck. Norway is con.
siderably worried over the posi-.
bility of America shutting off
food supplies consigned to neu,
trails. Premier Knudsen declares
that an American embargo on
foodstuffs would be disastrous
and he thinks that Norwegians
generally will resent such un.
deserved unfriendliness." Chris
tiania dispatches now say that
more than 400 Norwegian ships
have been torpedoed since the
beginning of the war. Yet, the
country seems to be prudent as

that he is willing 10 fight any man,
anywhere. provided all the receipts
from such battle go TO the Red Cross

The next thing TO do is TO pluck that
fruit.

one of those comic opera cannibal

did not fight; he merely waddled.
II is true that Lnagford scored
surprisingly quick knockout over Md
Norfolk i'm Denver last Saturday. This
Norfolk pusson. taking the unbiased
opinion of Leo Pugnacious Flynn, was
the coming heavyweight champion OF
the world. He deeisiyely outpointed
Billy Miskc. Of 81. Paul. and really
looked like a possibility even though
he did show up poorly in bout IN this
city.
Then along came Lsngford and
leaned one of his HORRIBLE HOOKS
on the Kids jaw and Norfolk was cart
ed out Of the ring. Even FIynn's ex-
hortations and impreestions were not
sufficient TO bring him around before
the bell rang. This means one OF two
things either that Norfolk was ter
rble joke as fighter or that Mister
Langford has regained his punch ard
lost his psunch.
After thinking it over and recalling
TO mind Tham's ample proportions IN

the blame on Norfolk.

The largest crowd that has visited
the rink this season was on hand to
cheer the youngsters on and New York
proved that II has warm place in its
heart for hockey by the enthusiasm
that greeted every sally down the ice.

fat and healthy total Of goals they
piled up.
Not only were the schoolboys from
New England better individual skaters
than the members Of the Nassau team.
but they proved better stick handlers
and were more skilled at passing the
puck. Many times they went over the

Nassau defence crumbled to pieces ana
the players from Princeton were sent
sprawling in undignified positions all
over the ice.
Wintersteen. the Nassau centre,
scored the first goal from a scrimmage
near the St. Paul cage after
minute and 20 seconds of play IN
the first half. In retaliation, how
ever, the st. Paul forwards took
the puck on the next play-of and
rushed it down the other end of the
ring. permitting Wilson 20 score just
thirty seconds later. Bell and Cook
added two more tallics to the New
