ship, with the loss of all on board ex-
ccpt Capt. Karstein Olsen. Is reported
in a Reuter- dispatch from Chris
tiania.
The captain says the submarine
rose to the surface after the torpedo
had been fired and watched twenty
nine persons drown without offerine
assistance. The Norwegian press COM
ments bitterly on the incident.
The Shipping Gazette says the pres
ent situation Of Norway is worse than
if she were at war. 1t adds that the
United States should have the most
cordial cooperation Of all the Scandi-
navian countries in the effort to shut
off Germany from exports, even from
neutral countries.
"All neutrals ought voluntarily to
break off commercial relations with
Germany" it says.
