Horror Comp In
Arctic Norway

Norwegian troops operating far
above the Arctic circle in Norway
have stumbled upon one of the
most fanta tic determination
camps yet revealed. In an isolated
branch of Porsanger Fjord, 400
Russian men, women and children
have been found living like ans-
mails in rough holes scooped out of
the earth. There were no barracks
or houses of any kind, and the
prisoners were forced to huddle in
"foxholes," their only protection
against the Arctic cold.
Thin vegetable soup was warmed
on stoves made of empty cans and
scraps of iron, and prisoners told
that those who were unable to
start fire received no food. The
original number of prisoners in
this death camp is unknown, but
mistreatment, hunger and expos
ure have taken a heavy toll,
Allied authorities in Norwa Y
requested that in the interest of
the trials to come. one Norwegian
and one Swedish anatomist be
sent to North Norway to investi-
gate the Russian corpses found in
these camps. DR.. Karl Evang, Nor
wegian Surgeon General, has ap-
pointed DR.. Magne Svendsen, while
the Swedish medical authorities
have named Professor Sjowall of
Lund University.

eminent which has led Norway's
war against the enemy since April
9, 1910, and which returned to
Norway just two weeks ago.
The resignation was in no way
unexpected, as it merely confirmed
the Prime Minister'S oft-repeated
intention to Immediately step aside
once Norway was again free and
independent, and allow the Nor
wegian people to chose the most
representative government pos
sible.
The present government had as
sumed power on March 20, 1885,
and had maintained it's position
through the days of the German
invasion. On April g, 1910, the
Norwegian Parliament convened in
the village of Elverum for it's last
meeting on free Norwegian soil.
With German bombers roaring
overhead, the 145 members of Par
lament extended the Nygaard-
svold government unanimous
vote Of confidence, and authorized
it to lead Norway's struggle from
abroad if necessary.
With this direct mandate, the
exiled Government proceeded, in
meticulous cooperation with Nor
ways home front, to put the will
of the Norwegian people before
any other consideration. And now,
in keeping with Norway's finest
democratic traditions, the mandate
which the representatives of the
people then extended was now
being returned to the people.
King Haakon, in following the
usual procedures, requested that
the ministers remain in office un-
til new government is formed.

King Hookon Returns
After Five Yeors

In a voice so choked with emo
ton that his words were scarcely
understandable, Norwegians from
the war-ravaged huts of Finnmark
to the fishing villages of Norway's
south shore. heard an Oslo an
nouncer describe the return of
their king.
1t was day of deep significance
for these Norwegians, bent over
their salvaged radio receivers.
There were many who remembered
a June 7th, forty years ago, when
Norway had proclaimed herself a
free and independent nation and a
young Danish prince had been
elected to the throne.
There were still more who re-
called June 7th only five years
ago. when this same man, now
King Haakon of Norway, had left
Norwegian soil to lead his coun-
try's struggle against the invaders.
And now, on the fifth anniversary
of his departure, Norways chosen
leader was returning to his people
Victory was won and independence
regained; a day of significance in
deed.
For over a week, trains to the
capital had been jam-packed.
Wheeled conveyances of all types,
from charcoal gas-powered autos
and trucks to horse-drawn carts,
had been streaming toward Oslo
day and night. All available hotel
accommodations had been sold out
weeks in advance and there was
scarcely home in Oslo which was
not entertaining out-of- town rela-
tives and guests.
After five grey years of occupa-
ton, Oslo had experienced a whirl-
wind transformation. Sixty paint
ers and hundreds of volunteers had
labored day and night to erase
every trace of five years sorrow
and tragedy from the face of the
city. Over 1000 pounds of paint
had gone into the creation of acres
of flags, banners, and emblems to
be placed in the streets.
BY way of amusing statistics,
Osloites had managed to assemble
over a mile and a half of bunting,
and $500 yards of flower garlands
to drape the buildings and thor
oughfares of their capital.

raising his hand was going to

ing that it was his fault that he
rang the bell to her house. But

mirth that he could not speak a

The lady burst forth, warning
him to stop ringing doorbells at
his age and annoying people.
Il suppose you have been to
the brewery and had one schooner
too many" she said closing the
door before him.
The king beat it, down the
street, trying to catch up with the
boy who got him into the mess.

their subjects in theatres and
market places. And the Danish
people were the happiest in the
world before the Nazis stepped in,
occupying their country with
force.
King Christian of Denmark,
who is a brother of King Haakon
VII of Norway, now with the free
Norwegians in London, is the tai

Christian did not want to make
any concessions to the Nazis
when they first invaded his coun-

ening to let King Christian share
the fate of the Belgian ruler, i'm
prisoning him in the Reich. All
Danes are praying and hoping for
the Americans to speed on to Cop

is why the Danes are sabotaging
day and night, burning factories,
destroying Nazi ammunition, kill
ing the German soldiers, so there
will be less moping up for the AL
lies when they arrive.
In the cheerful days not so dis

ire in Copenhagen, and histori-
cal play dealing with the Danish
kings, was given, the old monarch
in the play turns to his advisor,
asking him to whom of the two
princes he shall give the Crown,
King Christian stood up in his
royal box and said: "Give them
half a crown each" Crown being
the unit of the Danish currency.
Another time when the king,
whom the 'Nazis intend to hold as
a hostage, was walking about his
capitol, he verb card two men
having an argument about him.
King Kris is all right, 1 tell
you, Peder," said one of the men,
but l don't think we should have
him any longer"
Pardon me, good men of the
kingdom" spoke the king, who
unrecognized approached the two
men. What is it you are saying?
Why don't you like to have your
king any longer
