NoRWAYs ATTITUDE.

Germany of course claims to find it difficult to understand the anti-Teu- tonic feeling which exists in Norway and to be unable to figure out how that country could enter into any economic understanding with the United States. but if that is really so it is because it is unwilling to see what is as plain as day. >
 The explanation is clear enough and all that Germany needs to do is to :ook the situation straight iH the face and it can quickly find the reason. The fact is that the trouble lies with Ger many and inasmuch as Germany never has any faults and therefore cannot discover them it can be readily under stood why it is having so much trou- ble in sizing up the Norwegian situa- ton.
 Does Germany for a minute think that Norway's grievance is something which has been suddenly developed? Nothing could be farther from the fact Norway, with other northern neutrals decided early in the war upon a neu- tral stand. It was in a position to fur nish many things to Germany and it did so for a long time. It likewise continued it's trade with the allied na- tions. How differently it has been treated as neutral by Germany and the allies shows a marked contrast The policy of the Hun has been tc force Norway to do it's bidding regard less of it's neutral stand and because it could not secure steadily increas- ing favoritism from that nation it has proceeded to treat it as if it were one of the belligerents. Norway has los' hundreds and hundreds of ships ant hundreds of lives at the hands of Ger many. It may be so that the worse you treat some people the better they like you. but that isn't the case witt Norway. Germany has been steadil, arousing the enmity of the Morse jus the same as it drove this country int the war,

 Many sections of the country are experiencing difficulty in securing coal for fuel and some Of the sections which are the longest distance from the mines are those which are boun- tifully supplied with streams along the banks of which it would be possible to develop great volume of electric current. Inasmuch as the government controls the navigableN streams and the rights along the banks in the public lands through which they pass, the needed development is blocked until congress acts. With not enough coal to meet requirements because of trans portation handicaps the electrical ener- gy which could be developed if full ad- vantage was taken of the natural re- sources is greatly. needed, but unless congress gives the matter more atten- tion than it has in the past it will never, be secured until the war is ended

 T suppose" said the girl who likes to talk, that if you called a woman a sheep your friends might just as we'll telephone for floral wreaths with out waiting for anything further. Yet I am forced to the conclusion"
 What have they done to you?" in quired the patient listener with some interest
 Did you ever see flock of sheep !" persisted the girl who likes to talk. Nothing else on earth, unless it be a flock of hens in the middle of the road in front of an automobile, is quite so maddening. Any sheep with enough initiative to start something may be dead certain that the other S99 of the flock will simply have relieved sighs, murmur Thank goodness, don't have to think about iti' and trot right along after whether it is over a cliff or into feed store or straight to the butch CTS!
 Its a perfect marvel how it hurts 1 the petrified brain of a sheep to use it! Some day I'm going to lose con- trol of myself and walk right Up to girl on the street and snatch off her hat! And it won't be because I want it myself. either You've seen 'em- the girls wearing what they call war l DIlAG 1ldlS.

son for these war bride hats. They haven't even the merit of novelty, since they have been worn in black by bereaved women always. If I was fellow in khaki and my best girl met me wearing one of those things I'd turn straight around on my heel and march back to camp and peel potatoes or do kitchen police rather than stay and endure it! Or. better still. I'd get another girl one who wore a fioppy summer hat with a wreath of roses around it.
 Delicate little attention to pay your soldier boy to show him what be- coming things widows weeds would be to you.
 And there's the skimpy skirt sent forth this summer to ~ave cloth. It is a perfectly good idea, only most of the dear girls in their patriotic en- thusiasm have felt called upon to inn prove it. They have skimped it and they have shortened it until Goldberg s cartoons of the Tuesday Ladies club in full session cease to be cartoons because they are so true to life.

 Why do they do it?' John was de manding of the skies. Who lets then do it-and haven't any of them any full length mirrors in their homes?'

Persia took it from the Turko mans but it is essentially a Turkish rather than a Persian city today. and Turkish is the prevailing language. At the beginning of the world war it was occupied by a Turkish army but subsequently, the Russian forces took possession.
 Man has not played as great havoc with the buildings of Tabriz however as have earthquakes. It has been visited many times by quakes, the most disastrous being that of 1721, when more than 80 900 persons are said to have been killed.

MORE GERMAN SCREENING.

There have been many revelations regarding the thorough manner in which German intrigue works. AL most every country whether belligerent or neutral has experienced the effects of Hun propaganda. This country has had it's share of it and while much is known about the deep laid plots and the costly plans there are disclosures now and then which make it evident that while much has been brought to light there is probability that there is a great deal about which nothing is generally known.
 Just as Germany set out to get con- trol of the Paris press that that coun- try might be flooded with peace senti- ment, so did it plan to get 6 newspa- per in this country which would be the mouthpiece of the kaiser through being owned by the German govern inent. This is indicated by the man. ner in which the New York Mail was acquired and conducted for a period of three years by German money, and while it is not recalled that this par ticular paper has been taking a prom inent part in supporting the kaiser. or in fact lending as much sympathy to his cause as some of the other papers of the country which are not known to have his backing. it is plainly in dicated that those who put the deal through were especially anxious that 1t should not be known who had ac- suired the controlling interests of that paper. Because of this attitude to- wards this government rather than the eutspoken sentiments has the pub- fisher of the Mail gotten into the tolls ot the law. But such secrecy is all a lart of the German plans and they ,annot be probed any too deeply wherever they are known to exist.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society.

Tabriz, where the Turks are report ed to have committed outrages againSt the American consulate. is described in the following war geography bull letin issued by the National Geograp- hic Society from it's Washington head quarters:
 With a population of 200 900 Tabriz is one of the most important cities in Persia, Teheran, the capital is the only place in the dominions of the Shah which exceeds it in size.
 Ut is beautifully situated in a wide valley on the River Ali, which flows into the salt lake of Urumiah 35 miles to the west. Although apparently sur rounded by mountains, Tarbiz has an elevation of more than 000 feet and the climate in winter is extremely severe.
 Hundreds of springs and fountains water thousands of beautiful gardens in this ancient city which for centur- ies has enjoyed a deserved reputation says that the place was founded by Zobeideh the wife of Harun al -Rashid hero of the Arabian Nights Accord ing to this legend. Zobeideh came here to recuperate from a fever in the year 791. and a cure was quickly effected thanks to the salubrious climate, hence the name Tab (fever) rig (pourer away) or fever destroying As a matter of cold history, however, Tab rig was in existence four centuries be- fore the birth of the beautiful Zobei- deh.
