The government at Washington has
let il be known that the Chrlstiania
nickel factory Is about to resume oper-
atoms, and beginning In January will
deliver 100 tons of nickel n month to
Germany, according to advices received
here. Expectations of nickel from Nor
way to Germany have been practically
cut off for considerable time, and the
promised supply will be of very great
military value to her. The nickel Is
used in the manufacture of torpedoes.
Norway has n right as a neutral ma
ton to sell nickel to Germany. AS a
belllgerent the United States, should
II care to exercise 1t, has right to de-
cline to sell anything to Norway If
vitality important war supplies are fur
nished the enemy by Norwegian con-
Germs.

Wig the noted Norwegian shipping mag
nate, has bought the wreck of the liner
Kristianiafjord which lies on the coast
of Nova Scotia. The purchase price Is
not known. Mr.. Hannevig has also
bought the pleasure yacht Germania
for $4,000 kroner exactly twice the
amount his brother paid for the ship.
The Germania was built in England for
the Krupp family of Germany and was
lnterned at the beginning of the war.
The yacht has been renamed Exen. Mr..
Hannevig is n heavy purchaser of Lib
erty bonds and his personal holdings
now amount to 100000.
A dispatch from Christianfa says
that In an address in the storthing on
the negotiations between America and
Norway concerning the expectation OF
food to Norway. Minister of Foreign
Affairs Ihlen declared his belief that
the United States and the allies would
show all possible consideration for
Norway. "We believe that the services
which Norway has rendered during the
war by It's ocean commerce and its par
ticipation in the world production,
which II also will continue In the fu-
ture. are valuable enough to justify
hopes Of satisfactory outcome Of the
negotiations now pending"
Norwegian newspapers giveVa list Of
Is ships which have recently vanished
without trace" to use Luxburgs
classic phrase. They supplement this
with list of Is Morse ships which
have been sunk since February 1 on a
voyage between Argentine and Norway
and they state that there Is widely
expressed suspicion that the seven ves-
sells of the Norwegian sailing fleet
which disappeared some time ago with
their crews of 30 men, were not lost as
a result Of natural causes.
The head of the Norwegian navy an
nounces that about 1000 drifting mines
have been picked up on the coast Of
Norway since the beginning Of the war
The number seems to be increasing
and recently an average Of over n
mines a day have been picked up.
America Is beginning to look for ship
officers in Norway. On account Of the
large number Of Norwegian ships that
have been sunk recently many Nor
wegian officers are without commands
and Il Is probable many OF them will
accept offers from America.
A hank will soon be established by
the fishing interests at Bergen. 1t VIII
