Second Largest
Freighter Visits
Her Home Port

The ore carrier Swaziland, of
22,730 tons dead We i g h and
owned by the Tirfing Company of
Gothenburg, arrived some time
ago in her home port, where she
had not been seen since April
1888.
Built in Hamburg in 1925, and
shortly afterwards time-chartered
by the Bethlehem Steel Corpora
ton, the "Svealand' has been car
rying iron ore from South America
to the U. S. During the war she
also made several trips with grain
to Great Britain.
Together with her sister ship
"Amerikaland,' which was tor
pedoed by the Germans in Feb
ruary, 1912, the Swaziland" was
until quite recently the largest
freighter in the world Last sum-
mer a still bigger ore carrier, the
'Venor,' of $4,000 tons, was de-
livered by an American yard to
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.

Red Cross medicines and supplies
were Struggled into Norway be-
fore the wars end. Five hundred
thousand new garments valued at
over 100000 and 10000 individ-
ual packages f r ON American
school children have swelled the
contribution of the American Red
Cross to a value which cannot be
measured in money.
Two Goodwill Ships" from the
United Nations Relief and Re-
Mobilization Organization, have
just arrived in Norway. Shoes,
clothing, and children's wear val
ued at over 100000 have been
given to Norway as an expression
of Allied good will. The receipt OF
this gift was unexpected good
fortune as Norway, unlike many
other members of UNRRA is
known as a paying nation in
other words, one of the countries
which has been able to pay for
goods received through the organ
ization. The size and generosity
of the gift, which includes all
transportation charges, has left
Norwegians speeches. with graft
tude. Contents of the two ships
from the U.S.A. and Canada to-
gether with the cargo of a third,
soon to arrive from Australia,
will be turned over to the Nor
wegian Supply and Social Welfare
Departments for distribution.
American Labor Relief, an out
standing group supported by or
ganized labor in the United States,
long ago won the gratitude of all
of Norway It's activities tied in
closely with the Norwegian under
ground and by the wars end,
100000 worth of food and supplies
had been smuggled into needy
Norway, all purchased and dis
tributed by this remarkable or
ganization. Latest word indicates
that 13 fully equipped American
Army ambulances have been pur-
chased by American Labor reliet
as a gift to Norway, and will be
shipped in the near future.

Steady Employment Rise In Norway

Steadily rising employment
figures for the last three months
of 1915 indicate that by the end
of the first quarter of 1916 en-
ployment in Norwegian manufac-
turing industries will have reached
its pre-War level
While overall employment es-
Inmates show 10000 employed in
industry (2,1OO less than in 1882
the gain is uneven, and certain
groups of industries show a de-
cided employment lag due to prob
lens of marketing and raw mate
rial shortages. These include min
ing, observation-disclosures, earthen-

Jeep Comes To
Spitzbergen

Reports from ice-locked Spitz-
bergen high under the North Pole
describe how that beloved war
baby, the American Jeep. is fitting
into yet another peace-time role.
Brought to this Arctic outpost
during the war. the Jeep proved
so well-suited to the rugged ter
rain that the Norwegian Spitz-
bergen Coal Co. has purchased two
of the little "gadabouts" from the
American authorities for use in the
reconstruction of the mines and
facilities on the island. They VIII
be used. for the most part, to
transport personnel and supplies
from the wharves on the harbor
to the mines and storehouses fur
Their inland.

ware and stoneware, wood pulp,
cellulose, paper, clothing, food
processing, and sports wear indus
tries which will show a combined
employment decrease of 1890
since 1889.
Another group of industries,
however, will show a total employ
ment increase of 1860 over 1889
figures, including the iron and
and metal, electro-chemical and
chemical, oils and fats, lumber
leather and rubber, textiles, and
the graphic industries. Of the above
figure employment increases in
the iron industries alone account
for 1000.

Russian Soldiers
Are Unwilling To
Leave Born|1o|n1

Statesmen and diplomats have
way of using weasel words to
express what they like to say
without saying it. This holds good
in the difficult situation that has
developed about the Russian occu-
patton of the Danish island of
Bornholm in the Baltic. It was
both granted and appreciated that
a small Russian army landed on
the islands just before the liberia
ton in order to round up the
German forces. The Danes ex-
pected the Russian armed forces
to leave after this task had been
performed, but instead the Soviet
Union soldiers and sailors made
themselves quite comfortable
True enough, since September sew
eral thousand troops have been
returned to the Russian homeland,
but a goodly sized garrison re-
mains on the island.
In this connection there is in
the minds of many Danes the sus-
picion that the Soviet Union would
like to use the island for. a per-
manent naval base, and there are
rumors to the effect that the Rus
slams intend to locate on certain
Islands on the far north coast of
Norway. If such bases should de-
velop it would mean a tight Rus
sian regime over all the waters
leading to Scandinavia Russian
diplomats are quite mum about
the prospect and perhaps the for
eign policy of Stain has not quite
ripened into an actual demand for
these Nordic bases, just as the
attitude in the Balkans and in the
Mediterranean also remain unset
tied. The Danes are too small
and powerless a nation to chal-
lenge their great eastern neighbor
and demand a showdown. Besides
must develop it's trade
with Russia, now that Germany
for some time will be almost value
less as a customer for agricultural
or industrial outputs.
So, some time ago when prime
minister Bull of Denmark visited
Bornholm in the interest of his
political campaign, which, by the
way he lost, he gave a brilliant
banquet to the Russian general
Jakuschof. In a speech the hon
orable With. Bull expressed his
deep regret that Denmark soon
was to lose their splendid guests.
THAT is actually what the Danes
hope they are soon to lose-but
has said good-by so far).
Then Jakuschof laid it on just as
thick by praising the Danish cour
age in battling with the Germans,
and he also hoped-as long as the
Russian soldiers were still to re-
main in Denmark-that their re-
lationship with their hosts might
remain as splendid as before.
According to latest reports the
Russians have reinforced their
troops on Bornholm. No reason
has been given, and there is very
little anyone can do about it but
hope that the Bolsheviks may re-
alize that the island belongs to
someone else-and DEPART forever.

THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Norway Battles Need With U.S.A. Aid

From the Arctic reaches of war
leveled Finnmark to the southern
tip of Norway an hour never
passes but what prayers of graft
tude and thanksgiving are sent
winging across the seas to Nor
ways generous neighbors in the
United States. A steady stream
of food, clothing, and supplies is
reaching into even the most re-
mote sections of the country to
battle cold. disease, and starva-
ton. Norway is grateful.
Aside from the tens of thous-
ands of gift packages sent by in
dividuals throughout the United
States, the outstanding contribu-
ton Of the organized relief groups
is especially recognized OF these,
American Relief for Norway fully
deserves the honor it received
when King Haakon presented its
chairman, Bishop ]. A. Aasgaard,
with the highest decoration which
the Norwegian Government can
award: the Grand Cross of the
Order of Saint Olav. During his
recent visit to Norway, Bishop
Aasgaard outlined the past and
projected activities of this organ
ization, noting that nearly $4,000
900 have gone into the purchase
of relief supplies for Norway. Dur
ing the first years of the war
huge stores of supplies We're as
sembled for distribution as soon as
a means could be found to get
them into the country Some OF
the difficulties encountered are
illustrated by the $4,000 pairs of
childrens shoes which We're to be
distributed through the Swedish
relief organization. Before they
could be shipped in to replace the
paper and fish skin substitutes
which in Norway were known as
shoes, the American trade mark
had to be carefully removed from
each shoe. Dried milk and food
purchased in Sweden together with
nearly 100000 lbs. of used cloth
ing from America were gotten in
to Norway in this way
Not until liberation opened the
gates could the organizations
carefully gathered supplies begin
to meet the overwhelming need.
Today shoes and clothing from
every corner of the United States
are being joyously welcomed ana
new clothing as we'll is being pur-
chased and shipped to Norway by
this energetic group. In New York
today, shipment of $4,000 pairs
of mems underwear, 10000 pairs
of mems stockings, 1000 pairs of
women's underwear. $4,000 pairs
of stockings, 5000 childrens' coats,
5000 pairs of shoes and countless
other goods represent an invest
ment of S250.00O which will soon
be ON its way to Norway. A pro-
ject to purchase 100000 pairs OF
shoes from U. S. Army stocks is
now under way with a 100000
purchase of badly needed kitchen
equipment to be concluded short
ly. AS a member of the National
War Fund, American Relief for
Norway illustrates that particular
type of American generosity which
will never be forgotten by the
needy throughout the world.
The work of the American Red
Cross was recently reviewed by
Mr.. Ralph Hahn, ARC. director
in Norway. Gifts of sorely needed
clothing, medicines, and hospital
supplies have been reaching Nor
way since long before the liber-
alton. In fact, $4,000 worth of
