HOLLAND AND NORWAY
END FIGHT OVER COAL
Amicable Settlement Reported to
Be Result Of Visit of Queen
Wilhelmina.

BY Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1872.
AMSTERDAM, Holland. September
27.-As a result Of Queen Wilhelmina's
visit to Christiania it is reported that
the differences between Holland and
Norway over the Spitzbergen coal in
terests have been settled amicably. Un'
der the convention signed soon after the
war an international commission was
formed to settle disputes arising over
the Spitzbergen properties. AS Norway's
negotiations for sales to British and
Swedish investors seemed detrimental
to Hollands interests. the Dutch threat
ened to convoke the international COM
mission.
This threat has now been withdrawn
as the result Of conversations during the
queens visit. Meanwhile Norwegian
commercial circles are looking with
some uneasiness at the growing success
Of Dutch firms in the exploitation of
Spitzbergen coal mines. One firm has
already produced more than 100000

are the product of Studebaker
skill and craftsmanship, and the
prices of $3.50 for the Sedan and
$1225 for the Coupe Roadster are
no index to their inherent value.
When you buy a car you want
to look at several makes. Include
Studebaker in your list and after
you have ridden in the Light-Six
Sedan or Coupe-R Roadster it will
not be difficult to make up your
mind.
The foundations of Studebaker
success are quality, durability,
comfort and integrity-principles
that have been upheld steadfastly
by Studebaker for seventy years.
You can depend upon Stude-
baker automobiles because of the
name they bear.
