SAYS REPORT
Reason Given is That Knud-
sens Party Has Ceased to
Control Parliament.

christiania, Feb. 5.-The Norwe-
gian cabinet, headed by Gunnar
Knudsen, has resigned. The reason
given is that Knudsen's party has
ceased to maintain it's control of par

accepted by the king and speculation
as to the new ministry include the
possibility that H. H. Bryn, Norwe-
gian minister at Washington, will be
named foreign" minister.
The Norwegian cabinet, headed by
Gunnars Knudsen. was formed Jan
uary 20, 1913. It had a rather stormy
career, it's personnel being for the
most part changed since its formation.
The cabinet weathered severe storm
in November. 1917. when resolution
designed to force its resignation was
brought before the Norwegian par
lament. It charged rblunders in ham
ding the food situation and failure
to yield to the request of the United
States to place the nation on a food
allowance. The resolution was de-
feated but opposition to the cabinet
continued. ,,r
