1t Is interesting to know that Miss

Erling Moen Released From Military
Service After Rcnouncing His In
tention to Become q United States
Citizen.

The local war department today re-
ceived notice from the camp head
quarters at Camp Dodge, Iowa, that
Erling Moen had been relieved from
United States military service subse-
quent to his announcement Of his
citizenship in this country.
Moen is thirty years old and was
formerly engaged in the trade Of a
dence at 112 Chestnut street. He came
to this country from Trondhjen,
Norway, in 1909 and took out his in
tention papers at Houghton, Mich, in
1910 but had not taken second papers
up to the time Of his induction into
service.
A registrant of the 1917 registra-
ton, Moen has been in service since
last June "a at Camp Dodge. Before
the declaration of armistice Moen
applied for discharge from military
service to the camp authorities and
renowned his former intention to be-
come a citizen. He has been granted
his release from the army and at the
same time loses the privilege of ever
becoming a citizen of the United
States. He is also subject to depor-
tation orders if the authorities see fit.
Already four instances of such de-
sertion in this county have come to
the attention of the local board. In
this latter case, Moen evidently was a
little previous. in his effort to escape
military service as the armistice dec
laration came only a few days after
his release was granted by the Camp
Dodge authorities.

WILSON MAY Il.
VISIT NORWAY
Special Cable to local News
paper Brings This
Announcement.

A special cable dispatch to the Nor
manden. published today, indicates
that President Wilson may be invited
to visit Norway and the two other
Scandinavian countries on his Eu-
ropean trip. and that the Nobel peace
prize for 1918 may be awarded to
him.
The cable dispatch, dated Christi
ania. November 20, reads as follows:
1T is probable that President
woodrow Wilson of the United States
will receive the Nobel peace prize.
The majority of the committee, maxi
ing the awards, is decidedly favorable
to such a plan, and an official an
nouncement is expected to be made
Immediately after the annual meeting
Of the committee. December 10.
Among members of the Norwe-
gian Storting, there is a strong senti-
before he returns from his European
trip. In this ease, he may be in
Christiania to personally accept the
peace prize which, it is confidently
asserted, will be given him.
1T is not improbable that the Dam
ish and Swedish governments also
will invite the president to visit their
countries while he is in Europe in
connection with the coming peace
Voo'
The dispatch came to the Norman
den in reply to an inquiry cabled by
that paper last week..
In case President Wilson receives
the Nobel peace prize. he will be the
third American thus honored: Theo-
dore Roosevelt n Elihu Root receiv-
ed the prize in, respectively, 1906 and
1912.
The probability that the American
president may visit Scandinavia has
added interest to the suggestion that
soldiers Of Scandinavian birth and
descent be given an opportunity to
visit their home lands on the return
from the battlefields of France, and
efforts are being made to have such
a tour coincide with the visit Of Mr..
Wilson If he decides to accept an in
vitation.
The matter Of aascertaining the feas-
Utility Of thes soldiers journey to
Scandinavia has been taken up with
Senator Knute Nelson Of Minnesota
as we'll as with other congressional
members from northwestern states.
