Grand Forks Man, Lately
Arrived in Norway, Wants
to go Back to N. D.

T.. J. Siljan. editor of the Norman

not enthusiastically impressed with
his first observations of conditions
prevailing in that country. according
to a letter which has been received
from him by p. o. Thorson. Mr.. Sill
jan writes: d.
Conditions here are such tina I
think it advisable that my stay should
be as short as possible. Everything is
sky high, travelling exceedingly diff
cult and expensive and from present
indications the country is facing a
transformation period.
II have found plenty of things to
write about but it takes considerable
preparation. The people of the north
western states have all the reason in
the world to thank God that they live
in U. S. If they could see the results
OF German kultur at close range they
would give every ounce Of
and giv it gladly-to see the Hun
beaten to a fragile.
II got a very fine reception by;
American Minister Schmedemann. He
is very popular INC a splendid fellow,
l was his guest at luncheon.
Il think hat l shall be able to
preach a good sermon OF two to our
readers. l feel more than ever that
every German sympathiser ought to
be hanged. wherever he lives. And let
me tell you. the stories about organ
tied and we'll paid German espionage
