the attitude of Norway on the Ameri-
can revelations of Sweden's diplomatic
assistance to Germany
1T may not he realized in the United
States" he said. how nearly Norway
has been touched by the Lansing rev
elations. Even those Norwegian news
papers which have been content to
sacrifice much to Swedish feeling and
have openly remarked on the closeness
of the cooperation between the two
countries will doubtless change their
opinions. The tendency in many quar-
ters to admire what appeared to be
Swedens fearlessly neutral attitudes
has been ended by Secretary Lansing's
revelations.
In view of the shock of these dis
closures to the Swedish people it is
not necessary for me to elaborate upon
the outraged feelings of the Nor
wegians. 1t is a matter OF common
knowledge that many Norwegian
steamers have been 'spurlos voisenkt
tsunk without trace. and the mere
thought of murder recommendations
passing through Swedish diplomatic
correspondence is intolerab bic. An In
dispensabIe basis for cooperation be-
lous loyalty to neutrality which the
two countries were jointly concerned
in preserving. Future cooperation de-
pends upon the result of the swedish
elections So far we are certainly en-
titled to believe that they will prove
that the Swedish people are far from
indorsing the actions of their repre-
sentatives.
1T may be opportune to consider
broadly the object of cooperation
between the Scandinavian countries.

IN THE WORLD
AMERICA WILL WIN THE WAR
BECAUSE ARMIES WILL BE
PHYSICALLY THE BEST.
EXAMINATION IS SEVERE
The Man Who Is Accepted Must
Meet Stringent Physical Tests.
Draw Million to Get
First Army.

WASHINGTON, June 19.The
American armies will me made up
OF the finest physical manhood in
the nation.
Army surgeons today estimated
that nearly 40 per cent of the men
brought to the colors by the selec-
tive draft will be rejected in the first
physical scrutiny, so severe are the
examinations.
Nearly one million men will be
drawn to obtain the 625,000 required
for the first levy, according to es-
Inmates Of the, surgeons. At present
reflections in the regular amy aver
age 40 to 60 per cent OF applicants.
After undergoing the severe ex-
aminations imposed by the army sur
geons the chosen ones will form the
best army physically in the world.
In no other army are the physical
requirements so hard to meet, not
even the Geman armies, picked on a
less stringent scale of requirements.
Here are the general requirements
for the army:
Height not less than 5 feet and 4
inches, nor more than G feet.
Weight not less than LIS pounds,
nor more than 1870.
Lungs and heart must be we'll
nigh perfect. Any heart murmur-
ings disqualify.
The hearing and sight must be
good. Color blindness does not
necessarily disqualify.
Lack of fingers. toes or an ear
are disquaiiIications
Flat feet or deformed feet also
cause rejection.
The surgeons will examine closely
for any defects of the kidneys Oh
chest
Four molar teeth are necessary.
This war will be won by youns
men" said an officer of the medi
cal corps today. That's why we viii
win--we'ye got the most and thu
best young men.
