And in these very fishing districts
German agents are buying all the
Norwegian fish they can, according to
the agreement with the government.
German boats sail safely inside the
territorial line guided by Norwegian
pilots with their cargoes Of fish and
provisions for Germany.
At the same time from all over Nor
way come reports of arrests of al
legged German spies who are sent
across the Norwegian border. Nor
wegian citizens are being convicted by
the court in Bergen as paid spies for
the German government and sem
fenced to imprisonment for not more
than six months, although it Is proved
that their information to the Germans
regarding the sailings of Norwegian
ships has caused these vessels to be
torpedoed and some of the crews
to be killed. In these cases the court
acted according to the law. The
whole nation was struck aghast that
this crime against the country should
not be punished more severely. The
Germans involved were acquitted.

were captains on route steamers be-
tween Newcastle and Bergen who had
been paid to report to the German
espionage control in Bergen every
thing they saw in England and on
their way between England and Nor
way.
The espionage control was estab-
lished, it is charged, by the Antarc-
tic explorer, Lieutenant Filchner who,
before the war, had been very kindly
received everywhere in Norway, had
been the guest Of the Geographical
society, and who now used his know
ledge to plot against this country,
draw Norwegian men in his net and
make them traitors to their country.
The whole press condemned Filchner
The whole nation felt ashamed and
dishonored by this case, remembering
the way the Swedish Baron Won

Rosen. with his anthrax and CHAMBERS
bacilh in sugar, was treated by Nor
Wegian uthorities and the way a
German proved spy, Baumeister, also
was allowed peacefully to go back to
Germany.
In the legislature it was strongly de-
manded that the police authorities and
the department of justice, hereafter,
should see that the nation was ridden
of such German pests.
And in spite of all this, in spite OF
the nearly unanimous demand to stop
export of anything the country needs
for its own citizens, the fish export TO
Germany still is going on and the ex-
port of home made farm products and
canned milk is not stopped, although
the prospects for the people in the
coming fall and winter are worse than
ever.
Replisa1s Are Urged.
Why the government, which week
after week suffers humiliations at the
hands of the German, has not stopped
all export to Germany until satisfac-
ton Is given, is regarded here as
mystery A great many anti-socialists
agree with the socialists who criticise
the government for having spent
500, 100000 in three years on the neu-
trality guard The socialists say it
would have been better to use this
money to relieve the high cost of liv-
ing, asserting that the naval and army
defense is in too poor a condition to
be of any use and that the money is
wasted Other citizens who believe in
armament for the defense of the coun-
try now ask, with the socialists, what
the country has obtained for the $780,
100000. They Indignantly declare
that more than 400 Norwegian YES
sells have been destroyed, with the loss
of 500 sailors, by the acts of a So
called "friendly'' nation, that no ex-
cuse nor satisfaction has been given
for any of the numerous violations Of
the international law; that Norwegian
sailors have been murdered in the
life boats; money and private trinkets
on board in Norwegian ships stolen

by German officers and taken to Ger
many. Norwegian government vessels
in coast traffic in Norwegian waters
seized and taken as prizes to German
ports; and that not a, shot has been
fired from Norwegian gun to defend
Norwegian rights, not Norwegian
boat nor a Norwegian sailor has been
allowed to fight for his life Mean
time, they add, the country which has
spent $100,00O,00O is threatened by
famine of food, fuel during the COM
ing winter.
Such criticism as the FOREGOING can
be read every day in the most promi-
nent papers of the country and heard
wherever two Norwegians speak of the
situation, but the leading men in the
cabinet seem not to listen to public
opinion or to be unwilling to sustain
the national pride. The newspa per
Tidens Tegn. in an editorial the other
day, criticisingN the political line Nor
ways government has followed, said
There is, something worse than war
and it's disasters and that is when a
nation loses its self respect, the Nor
wegian nation these days is in danger
