TO FIGHT OR TO SrARVE.

Norway has no stomach for war.
But Norway has stomach.
Canada will send no grain to Nor
way. And the United States is very
likely to reach similar decision.
For Norwegians who desire to eat
the outlook is not bright.
No nation of all the world has a
clearer cause than Norway for war
against the plague Of Prussianisn.
Norwegian ships are destroyed on
sight by the German submarines, de-
stroycd as relentlessly and cruelty as
are the ships of the belligerents.
Norwegian protests are unheeded.
And still the old Morse spirit is not
stirred to war. Still there is no evil
dence of that berserk rage that made
the Norsemen of old so terrible.
Norway is now sending to America
an official commission to urge that
the American government take no
action to shut off American grain ex-
portations to Norway. The mission
may be unsuccessful.
The elemental instinct Of self
preservation is turning America
more and more toward the deter
mination 10 conserve her food sup
plies for herself and her allies.
Every bushel of wheat that America
can produce is needed. America and
her allies are fighting the war in be-
half Of civilization, and the neutrals
will ultimately benefit from the sac
rifices which are being made by the
belligerents.
For Holland and Denmark there is
more sympathy than there is for Nor.
way. These nations are cursed By
geographical propinquity to Germany
and their belligerency might be pun
ished by national extinction.
No such danger menaces Norway.
She could not be Belgiumized. Yet
she chooses placidly to endure her
wrongs, even faces the prospect OF
starvation, rather than definitely en-
roll herself as Germany's enemy
