NORWAY IS NOT READY TO MEET
 TRADE OFFERS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. IA After receiving the reply of the Norwegian government to the Ameri can proposals for food rationing, ii was announced that the embargo on foodstuffs from America to Nor way would not be raised until fur ther notice. Norway's reply, while agreeing to certain proposals made by America, refuses others, which convinces the war trade board that present export regulations must be kept in force.
 Norway offers to guarantee thaI none of the supplies obtained from America will be allowed to reach Germany, but refuses the American demand for a restricted export of Norwegian products to the central powers
 It declares that this would be a departure from the policy of strict neutrality adopted by the Norwegian government and would inevitably in vite danger of war with the cen tral powers.
 An offer is made, however, to give most of her export surplus to the allied nations in return for essential supplies. Commenting upon the note the American war trade board said that negotiations would be continued in the hope that some satisfactory arrangement may be arrived at.
 The proposals made by America to allow certain quantities of food and other essential supplies to b, shipped to Norway were made after an official representative from Nor. way had visited President Wilson and presented evidence that much suffering was being caused in Nor way by the embargo which had been put into effect by the United States.

 OTTAWA. Feb. 14.-Sir Cecil Spring-Rice. formerly British ambas. sador to the United States, died here this morning. The death of the noted diplomat came very sud. denly and without warning from heart disease. He has been here for several weeks making a study of Canadian conditions before his return home.
 He was recently relieved as am. bassador to America by Lord Read, ing, and his retirement was caused partly by the knowledge that his heart trouble was likely to prove serious unless he forsook his ac. tivities and retired to private life.
 He had been in the diplomatic service for many years. Before com, ing to America he was British min. ister to Sweden. He was in Am. erica for nearly five years. His handling of the difficult and some. times very delicate situations creat. cd by the war won for him many friends throughout the United States who regretted very much that 1t was necessary for him to return to England.
