NORWAY GROWS AS
 SHIPPING CENTER

Bergen, Norway. November 25-Since the war begun Bergen has taken on added importance as shipping cen- ter 1t has been a point where neutral ships gathered to be conveyed through danger zones and all passengers eln- parked for British and Scottish ports. Because of the great influx of Eng lish-speaking tourists in normal times, English was spoken very generally in the larger cities and towns even be- fore the war. but nowTnearly all Nor wegians speak English. Foreign ref ugees from Russia and Finland recent ly. have kept all the resort hotels In the Norwegian mountains crowded. Travel has far exceeded capacity of the railway between Christiania and Bergen and the inns have been unable to accommodate the great mass of ref ugees who are endeavoring to make their way across the North sea on the crowded steamers operated by the Brit ish government.
 In spite of their proximity, Sweden and Norway are quite unlike. Tho former Is more military. It is fash toned on German lines. Norway is moro democratic and independent. It rejoices in its own music and literature and does not content itself with stand ing in the shadow of any great pow CT. Monuments to Isben. Grieg, Dive Bull and Bjornson show the devotion of NorweEians to their own men of genius.

PAN-GERMAN PLAN
 TO SEND OUT FLEET
 CAUSED REVOLUTION
Vorwaerts Reveals How Sailors Re- fused to Court Suicide by Making
 an Attack in North Sea

| Amsterdam, November 20-The at tempt of officers of the German high seas fleet to make suicidal soitie against the British grand fleet before the armistice was signed is charae- 1 terized by the Berlin vorwaerts as "the last devilish crime against the German people that sealed the doom Of the Pan-Germans." Refusal of the sailors to go out and fight is regard ed as the first step toward the Ger man revolution. This mutiny is de- scribed by the vorwaerts as "an act of self-defense by 80.000 men against the villainous Pan-German plan. ITO understand the position con- tinues the newspaper, "it Is necessary to go back to the feverish propaganda by the Pan-Germans at the end of Oc- tober for so-called national fight of despair. To save their necks they conceived the idea of batting the peo- pie into a forlorn hope which could only end in complete extermination. The death of the doomed S0.000 did not con- cern these maniacs in whose reckon ings human blood never counted. Their notion of military honor was that the whole people should suffer, themselves to be butchered rather than undergo the shame of defeat.
 with their minds stseped in the worship of might they had no inkling of tho revolutionary currents among the men. They still imagined that iron discipline was paramount. Their fiend- ish plan was to seind out the ships to be sacrificed to the last ship. The news spread like wildfire.
 ".At the last stage of the war arc we all to be sacricedr they asked.
 The officers harangued. cajoled. in vain. Three times the order was giv- en. It was a difficult position for the mon with no backing but their feeling of solidarity. A thousand were imprisoned at Wilhelmshaven. The choice between freedom and impris- onment was not difficult It was rev olution. It was the irony of fate that the Pan-Germans. with what was to be their last desperate blow, should them selves have started thee onflagration. It was this last, devilish crime against the German people that sealed their
 doom.'
