siders herself Swede as she has
spent Is years in Sweden whence
she returned to America three
years ago. In Sweden as we'll as
in Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut Mrs. Bohlin is known for her
unusually we'll trained contralto
voice and often appears at large
concerts. The widely known
newspaper editor Gabriel Sanden
who once lived in Chicago but
who now is one of the active
leaders of the independent Fin
nish republic, is a son-in-law of
Mrs. Bohlin.
New York gasped the other
day when Helen Moeller of Bird
Island, Mimi, gave a socalled
classic dance. Was she clothed,
or wasn't she? Was the question
appearing in the headlines of
the New York dailies the morn
ing after. 1t appears that she
was dressed chiefly in smiles and
roses in addition to a very small
and very thin piece of gauze
which she threw off when she
danced off the stage. Even So
phisticated New York, which de-
cades ago grew callous to all
kinds of new and modern won
ders, thought this was little too
much and the audience booking at
the beauty gave her a very pow
erful kissing. From a notice
printed in the New York Times
it is seen that Miss Moeller is of
Danish parentage and has been a
pupil of Isadore Duncan whose
theories in classic dancing she
has carried out in the extreme.
The customary quantity Of
Finnish news has come from
Sweden during the past week,
and it. is just as difficult as it has
been for the last two months to
find out exactly what is going on
in the new republic. In Sweden
fear has been expressed that
the Finnish problem might lead
the Stockholm government into
a dangerous controversy with
other countries, but so far the
basis for this worry seems very
shaky.-Norway is, according to
late reports, in a period of eco
nomic improvement, and great
hopes are being entertained for
the future in consequence of the
agreement recently reached with
the United States, as reported in
these columns. The Danish press
seems to be all a-flutter because
of a severe editorial article ap-
pearing recently in the London
Times, charging the social demo-
Gratis of that country with being
a little too considerate to the
Germans. While open pro-Ger-
manism was not charged, it was
plainly intimated that if the gov
ernment did not have the power
to make the socialists change
their attitude it would have to
take the consequences in the
form of further trade curtail-
ments imposed upon the country
by the allies.

A committee was organized in
Minneapolis last week for the
purpose of gathering funds for
the erection of a statue in honor
of the Norwegian poet, Kristofer
Janson, who died in Denmark a
few weeks ago. The statue will
be placed near Hanska, Minn.,
where Janson was Unitarian
minister for some time during
his sojourn in this country.
L. Edberg, Swedish engineer,
has been appointed superinten-
dent of the electric power sta
ton at Argyle, MINI. Mr.. Ed
berg was formerly chief of the
Northern Pacific power station
at Moorehead, Mimi, and is con-
sidered an expert in his busi-
ness. The position which he has
now assumed became vacant
when the former superintendent
Victor Malm, also a native of
Sweden, was drafted for the
American army.
Shortly after Nebraska went
dry, Anton Larson, a merry
Omaha Dane, was found to be in
possession of rather vast quanti-
ties of liquor, and was fined
$4,000. Shortly after that, he
happened to be in Kansas City
where he was injured in a shoot
ing affry, and last week he re-
turned to Omaha with several
bottles of whiskey in his suit
cases. He was placed under ar
rest, and it is said that this time
there will hardly be shown any
leniency when the case comes
before court.
Thirty thousand dollars has
been willed to number of edu-
cational institutions in the Nor
wegian Lutheran church of
America by Aslak G.. Teisberg,
who died some time ago at Fer
gus Falls, MINI. AS Teisberg
was survived by no wife and
children, he stipulated in his will
that whatever property he
might have at the time of his
death, should be converted into
cash and distributed among va
rious institutions which were
named in the document. The
amount of $4,000 was realized
and has been disposed of in ac-
cordance with Teisberg's desires.
A very able farmer is the
Swedish woman, Mrs. N. c. Pier
son who lives near Polk, Neb.,
for papers from that town an
nounce that she recently sold as
heads of hogs at the Chicago
market at a-price of $16.25 per
one hundred pounds. They each
weighed about 800 pounds and
so netted Mrs. Pierson a rather
handsome sum. About a year
ago Mrs. Pierson lost her hus-
band who died of tuberculosis,
and she then took upon herself
the responsibility of managing
the large farm alone. She seems
able to do it.
Andreas M. Miller, a Danish
lumber merchant who lived in
Duluth, Mimi. for a number of
years. but who spent the last,
few years of his life in New
York, died early in 1917. and his
will has only recently been
opened. It is now found that he,
left S6OO,OOO for the erection of
a large hospital in Duluth, and
that he expressed the desire that
such an institution should be
free to every one who was un-
able to pay for medical treat
ment, no matter of what race,
nationality or faith the patient
NAV be. Mr.. Miller had lived in

The Norwegian writer, Jens X.
Grondahl in Red Wing, Mimi,
whose patriotic American song
last year was read into the Off
cial records of congress and
printed in thousands of news
papers throughout the country,
has recently perfected an inven-
tion for the detection of sub
marines. The invention has
been submitted to the advisory
navy commission in Washington
for examination and it is said
that Thomas A. Edison, who is
chairman of the commission, is
greatly interested in the innova-
ton. Senator Knute Nelson
called the attention of the COM
mission to the work of Mr..
Grondahl.
A Swedish actress, Hilda Eng
lund, who some years ago had
courage enough to read Ibsen
plays in the Norwegian language
to American audiences in New
Yok, has recently won much ad-
miration for her work in the
drama, "The Blind, written by
Maurice Maeterlinck, the fam
Gus Belgian poet and playwright.
The play was staged at the Peo-
pies Theater at Cooper Union,
New York, and the reviewers
agree that a new kind of art has
been revealed. Miss Englund
has formerly toured the north
western states with various COM
panies, but since she created a
distinct type in modern drama,
she has been able to manage her
own companies.
DR.. Maurice Francis Egan, for
more than ten years United
States minister to Denmark, who
recently delivered an address on
conditions in Scandinavia, is at
present touring a number of ci-
ties in the south in an effort to
give the American people cor
rect and detailed information
about the people in Denmark,
Norway and Sweden. DR.. Egan
is broadmlnded enough to realize
that the export embargo placed
by the United States and the al
lies upon eerain commodities
works a great deal of hardship
upon the Scandinavians, and al
tho he admits that stringent
measures may be justified, he is
advocating a policy less severe,
in view of the fact that the Scan
dinavians are observing their
neutrality in very literal sense.
The Wisconsin Historical socie-
ty has just published a bulletin
which gives an interesting con-
tribution to the history of the
Norwegian newspaper press in
America. The author is Albert
CLAUS Barton and he entities his
pamphlet, Beginnings of the
Norwegian Press in America" 1t
appears that "Nordlyset, =
founded at Norway, Racine
County, Wis, was the earliest
Norwegian paper in the United
States. Mr.. Barton calls atten-
toin to the fact that the early
history Of Norwegian-American
journalism is of inestimable val
ue for the complete understand
ing of the conditions under
which the pioneers lived here
during the fifties and sixties Of
the last century. Generally
speaking, his work is the most
complete of it's kind, and forms
q very interesting appendix to
that history of the Norwegian
Danish press in America which
has been written by Carl G. O..
Hansen in Minneapolis.

The War Industries Board authoriz-
es the following: Manufacturers,
wholesalers and large retailers, in re-
sponse to request, have reported to
the War Industries Board stocks Of
hand knitting yarns. Where quail
ties and quantities nave warranted,
the American Red Cross has asked
owners Of stocks to sell to them at a
nominal profit. 1t is gratifying to an
nouncc that there has been prompt
and hearty CO. ?operation.
Stocks of Smaller Dealers
There are, however, thousands of
smaller merchants not listed in trade
organizations who will esteem it a
privilege to offer their stocks for con-
sideration of the American Red Cross,
and they are requested to report at
once to the woolcns section Of the
War Industries Board their stocks of

worstcd, in oxford, khaki, natural and

honor to the American commanders
and Americans, presenting them silk

ucS.
The Socialist political element is
strong in these parts, and this, too,
has required tact on the part of the
American commanders. hen a recent
buffet supper was given, it was ar
ranged that French and Americans
should be represented by all branches
of their service, privates as well as
officers, in the true spirit of democ-
racy, and social equality. And so each
side selected as guests ten officers,
ten commissioned officers and
ten privates. 1t was the same for the
navy. The English also came in, Off
Gers and men on the same basis.
--- Democratic Spirit --
And thus this international gather
ing of social equality was carried out,
American, French and British gene
rails and admirals mingling familiarly
with American blueiackcts and SOL
dicrs and French and British tars.
There was no patrOniZing spirit Of
the higher ranks over the lower, but Il
real getting together in common
work in which all ranks were doing
their part.
The mayor OF the city was deeply
impressed with this manifestation in
which the newcomers from America
took the lead, an. the venerable
French admiral, an officer of the old
school, proved himself one Of the most
agreeable hosts Of American sailors
and marines.
There have been some huge prob
lens to work out in making this such
an effective American receiving point.
At first there was no fresh water. ex-
ccpt from Il few uncertain springs.
With hundreds of thousands of SOL
dicrs on the way here a safe and sure
water supply was imperative. Soon

there Will be reservoir storing 50,-
100000 gallons, capable Of supplying
the army, the American naval ships
and transports, and the port itself,
for one month if not drop of rain
falls. Besides direct mains to the army
camps, there are tweive-inch mains
leading right to the seafront, with
connections to our destroyers and
shipping in the harbor, pumping fresh
water to ships at sea.
Strange Hyerogfyphics
On the water front one notices that
the big American warehouses are COW
cred with strange hyeroglyphics.
These it turns out are shipping ad-
dresses and crate markings, as all the
lumber in this array of buildings is
from crates and boxes bringing amy
supplies. Some of these crates carry
ing cars were immense, with plank"
ing and heavy timbers. Every board
ana beam was saved, for lumber is
very scarce here, and even the nails
were drawn and saved. And out of
this waste lumber and nails have aris-
en- most of these mammoth buildings
marked from end to end with shipping
addresses.
Besides the immense work of receiv-
ing troops and supplies direct from
America, this is the headquarters also
for the channel ports, through which
other streams of troops and supplies
pour in from England when the first
arrival from America Is made at Liv-
crpool or other English port. Thus
two vast streams are pouring in here,
one from the west, the other from the
north, both merging and moving for
ward in one united stream to the
fighting front.

WHAT OUR DEFENDERS COST
At Home It Is 1927 and Overseas $42a
Year for Each Man in the
Service.

Statistics have been collected by the
clothing and equipage, subsistence,
conservation, reclamation and hard
ware and metals division of the quar-
termasterS' corps, United States army,
to indicate just what it costs year to
maintain soldier overseas and in the
United States.
These, according to the Army and
Navy Journal, show that the cost is
$423.47 a year to equip and maintain a
soldier overseas and $327.7S to equip
and maintain one in the United States.
Subsistence, figured at 50 cents day,
amounts to $251.S5 yearly for each
man overseas; figured at 81 cents a
day in the United States, it amounts
to $1S9.SO. The cost of the initial
equipment for the soldier the first year
in the United States is $115.30, while
the cost of his additional equipment
for the first year overseas is $42.41.
Thus it appears that If the soldier
going overseas did not take with him
a great deal of his equipment already
supplied in the United States the con-
trast between the cost of equipping
and maintaining soldier in this coun-
try and abroad would be much more
marked. Not only is the amount of
equipment needed abroad greater than
that needed in this country, but the
statistics of the conservation and re-
clamation division show that equip
ment and clothing overseas are subject
to much harder use, wear out more
quickly and are less effectively re-
claimed than similar material, cloth
ing and equipment used in the United
States. The amount of reclamation of
each individual soldiers equipment in
this country is $3.50 a year, while the
amount of reclamation of similar ma
terial abroad is but $3331.
