be In sympathy with some Of the most outspoken Junker
and bureaucratic tendencies OF military Prussia, he made
an effort to be considered a Liberal, and he even worked
unremittngly in favor Of an entente cordiale" with
Great Britain. sharing the then universal German view
that France and Russia were following a rigid "Isola-
ttonspolttik" against Germany, that is, trying to forge
a ring of steel around the empire. Whatever plans he
had made for an understanding with England, came
to nausht when the war broke out.
That event gave DIR. v. Bethmann Hollweg his first
opportunity to appear in the limelight of the whole world:
For it will be remembered that he arose in the reichstag
to declare that the invasion Of Belgium was a military
necessity and, at the same time, "a breach Of intefna-
tional law: later in his. speech on August 4, 1914, he
spoke Of the wrong that was inflicted upon Belgium"
and promised reparation at some later Indefinite date.
He was more courageous than the majority Of his coun-
trymen because he actually did admit that his govern
ment committed an injustice-at a time when it was al
most high treason to make such an admission. The
chancellor also indirectly admitted that Germany was
not in good faith when making the so-called Sussex"
pledge In 1916. These facts ,substantiate the belief that
at times he was rather reluctant in carrying out the
wishes and orders of his master. |
Politically speaking, v. Bethmann-Hollweg was a
believer in compromise, and his own views were at times
quite confused, for he was constantly engaged in at
tempting to sympathize with both the Pan-Germans and
the Socialists. He did not seem to realize that a man in
his station has to choose his methods deliberately and
definitely.
Now he comes before the victorious world asking
called before a court, anyhow. but that will be on the
strength of his own responsibility. Whatever the charges
are that will be formulated against the former emperor,
they can concern him only and not v. Bethmann-Hollweg
who acted upon imperial initiative rather than upon his
own.

WHEN DOES THE WAR END?

This question might seem superfluous since the
treaty of peace between the Allied nations and Germany
was signed last Saturday. Popular understanding is
that the very act of appending the requisite signatures
brings about the end Of a war, and, in a way. that Is so.
for the declaration is formally made that the state Of bel
igerency has ceased to exist and that peace has returned.
In practice, however, the war is not yet quite over.
Certain parliamentary bodies must needs ratify the peace
:reaty before it becomes effective and binding; the United
States senate, for instance, will be called upon to rati-
ty or reject the nstrumentSand still possesses the power
this country and the German republic are concerned.
Likewise, the national assembly Of Germany will have the
treaty submitted for consideration, and while there is
little real doubt that these two bodies. as we'll as other
rational legislative organizations. will sanction the con-
summation Off peace. it is interesting to recall that the
reaties agreed to between plenipotentiaries are practical
" void until approved by their principals. namely, the
respective peoples.
1t may be necessary, in this country, to resort to
courts to ascertain exactly when the war ends. In some
cases it has been held that the war ended on November
II, 1918, when President Wilson announced in congress
The terms of the armistice signed that day, adding as the
first line of his own comments: THUS the war comes
o an end"
But generally this view cannot be legally upheld,
Tor an armistice is merely a temporary cessation of hos
:ilities which may break out again at any time before
peace is actually arrived at.
Some of the difficulties involved in proclaiming the
actual end of the war are outlined in news dispatches
from Washington which indicate that there may arise
considerable confusion in regard to the further effective
ness of certain war emergency legislation. and it is quite
likely that we will never know when the world war has
absolutely ended until some legal tribunal hands down
! decision proclaiming once for all that peace has come
back for good.

When Vasili Arloff dazzled the eyes

young Rosa Bruce met him and loved

petted and Indifferent %favorite, fell as
humbly and passionately in love as a

The girls family was horrihed as at

Vasili followed her. and married
her a month after their first Injecting.

"BYGDELAG' IN AMERICA

In the latter part of June and in the beginning of
July a number of Norwegian "Bygdelag'' are holding
conventions and gatherings of a festive nature through
out the northwest. The Nunedalslag and the Halling-
lag, for instance, will convene here during the present
week attracting, undoubtedly, a large number of welcome
visitors.
These organizations derive their names from the
name of the district whence their members have come
In Norway; thus, those who make up the Halinglag
come from the Hallingdal,/ that is, the Halling Valley,
and those who belong to the Numedal organization. are
natives of the hume Valley. A great deal of cultural sig
nificance attaches to these organizations which strive
to keep some bf the old traditions from home alive. In
a way they correspond to the state societies found in a
city like New York where people from wyoming or Kan
ss or California form societies embracing only natives
and former residents of these states.
Away from the surroundings of the old home peo-
pie some time feel "lost," and even though they may
soon find congenial company and themselves be thor
oughly absorbed by the spirit and the surroundings of
their new abode, they are glad to admit that fellowship
with those who come from the same section as they
themselves do is something they treasure very highly.
- Norway is divided into "Bygder," that is, into sec
tons which have their own traditions, and, above all.
their own dialect. 1t is a popularity of small countries
that their language represents a number Of dialects: in
Norway, for instance, populated by fewer than three mill
lion people, each "Bygd" speaks its own dialect, and
while the written language of all observation-disclosures
subject to too frequent changes-remains essentially the
same everywhere in the country, the spoken word Diff
fers SO greatly in north and south, east and west, that it
does not fall into the lot OF every Norwegian to under
stand all the peasant dialects Of his own country.
These "Bygdemaal." as the idiomatic language of
the valley sections are called, are generally cultivated
In the Lag formed in this country, and it affords the
members no end Of joy and satisfaction to be able to dis
cuss certain phases Of life in the first language they ever
heard.
Aside from all this, the conventions Of the Norve-
gian Bygdelag this year have a solemn Significance, Any
