London Especial British women
are given official credit for increas"
ing TO an enormous extent the pro-
duction of munitions in Great Brit
ain since 1915. This increase is esu-
mated between rs and 70 times the
original amount.
A pamphlet recently issued here
says
M. p, said there were Al different
munition processes on which women
were engaged. -.
Recently he asked his officers BIT
the ministry of munitions If they
could give him corresponding figures
for today.
"The reply was that it would be
impossible, that so great has been
the extension OF war processes upon
which women are working that II
might be said to be covering, the
whole engineering and chemical
trades.

women are today building a
great part OF one Of the best high

DAKOTA EDITOR
BACK FROM NORWAY
Says Living Costs Serious
Problem In Scandina-
Wan Lands

Grand Forks, N. D.. June 15.-An-
erican flags are coming into favor
in Norway being used by the people
there as service flags representa-
tive Of men from Norwegian families
fghing with the American armies in
France, according to Lars ]. Siljan,
editor OF The Normanden, Norwe-
CLAN language paper Of Grand Forks,
who has returned to the United
States from a five month visit in
Norway for his newspaper.
With thousands Of Norwegian boys
in the United States army in France,
the people OF Norway have come to
look upon the American army almost
as their own-for the relatives of
these Norwegian boys fighting under
the Stars and Strtpes-it is to all in
tents and purposes, their war.
Scandinavians Cooperate.
In discussing the conditions in
Scandinavia as he had observed
them, Mr.. SiHan said that one out
standing feature was the co-opera-
ton between Norway, Denmark and
Sweden in all economic and CONNER
ciaI matters. There is" the editor
said, "a great deal of Willingness to
help one another and even to extend
in a, bad condition. Denmark, which
is enjoying better living conditions
than the other northern countries,
sends generously butter, eggs, meats
and grains to Norway and Sweden,
and this help is deeply appreciated
everywhere,
t'As far as sentiment Is concerned
there is nothing but pro-ally tend
encies in Denmark and Norway. In
Sweden there has been a decided
change in sentiment favoring the al
lies, and the old government was
overthrown largely because Of its
leanings toward pro -Germanism. The
Swedish masses. however, are favor
ing the allies, and 1t Is not at all un-
usual to hear demands for an actual
break with the German empire.
American Letters Inspiring.
'Isettehs coming from soldiers in
the American army have been OF
much value in moulding public opin-
ion in Norway. They are such an
important factor because they are
believed to tell the actual truth.
when the United States entered
the war, there was in Norway con-
siderable doubt as to the feasibility
of the task undertaken by the Wash
ington government. The unprepar-
Gdness and the inexperience in the
business Of war were matters that
called for consideration. But now
the reports Of what America has act
ually accomplished are almost hard
to believe for many of the people
over there-they think we have done
marvels."
