Troop Program
In Germany Is
Morse Benefit

Major General ROscher Nielsen,
until recently commander of Nor
wegian occupation forces in Ger
many, has termed NOrway's par
ticipatiOn there of marked bene-
fit" to that cOuntry's prepared
ness program.
Addressing the Norwegian Mill
tary Society in Oslo recently, the
speaker admitted that he had been
among those who at first doubted
the wisdom of sending troops to
Germany when they might be
needed at home. What they might
gain from training in a strange
country and strange terrain had
not been seen at first. Il myself
had serious doubt" he noted, "but
following my service down there l
have become warm supporter of
Norwegian participation. Today,
the situation has changed and one
can possibly say that Norway's
southern boundary today lies at
/ the Danish-German border"
Aside from occupation duties,
the Norwegian Brigade's principal
purpose centers on troop training.
Here" continued the speaker,
Germany offers important adj
vantages, contrary to what was
earlier thought. Soldiers who have
served from down there are fully
prepared to go into action in any
part of Norway. A real military
milieu is not to be under-rated in
troop training. In Germany our
personnel is in the company of
troops from armies accustomed to
war-an important factor"

The aims of the corporation can
be summed up in the following
statement:
"The most urgent social need
in our state today is decent homes
for our old people, thousands OF
whom have no home at all, and
many of whom have to live in I'M

Many of these old people are pio'

of late afternoon sun. Along

girl companion by taking the nippy

stride as he wades bravely in the

Their open-air stalls strung
along the streams western bank,

mushrooms, vegetables, tiny crink-
ly strawberries and homemade
household articles. A Saturdays
trading is almost finished, and
they begin closing shop. packing
left-overs on carts and the ever
present bicycles.
Atmosphere
From the nigh ground west of
the Fyris comes the Ginning of
church bells, and looking up, you
see the three-spired Domkyrkan,
Uppsalas cathedral. Deep, rich
and strong, the pealing of these
bells is an everyday experience
to the townspeople. who've heard
them daily all their lives. The
intricate ringing continues for sew
eral minutes, when presently the
sounds dwindle away to nothing
as the last bell tolls the closing
measures. It's quiet then, with
only the splashing of the ducks
in the mill pond and the soft
conversation. of passersby to dis
turb the peacefulness of the late
afternoon.
Going to church at Uppsala' S
towering red-brick Domkyrka is
an experience all by itself. STEPPED
in the atmosphere of events dat
ing far back into history, the
cathedral is something of a muse
UNI as well as a place of wor-
ship. Until the eighteenth Gen.
fury, new Swedish kings came
here to be crowned, and old ones
returned to be buried. In the little
chapels on either side the main
portion of the cathedral lie many
of Sweden's great: Gustavus Va
sa, st. Erik, Linnaeus, Sweden
borg, to name a few.
The Medieval Touch
The foremost cathedral in Swe-
den, the Domkyrka was begun
in the middle of the twelfth CEN
fury, and marks the beginning of
Uppsala's ascendancy. Like most
edifices of it's kind, the cathedral
was long a-building, taking some
$50 years to complete. Necessary
alterations and restorations have
changed its appearance somewhat,
but essentially the building fol-
lows the original layout of the
medieval planners.
Church attendance in general
throughout Sweden is at rather
low ebb, but that conclusion is
not very obvious from the size
of congregation appearing for SER
vices at Domkyrkan. Promptly
at eleven o'clock Sunday morning
the benches in the main portion
of the cathedral are filled; save
for an occasional whisper or SUBJ
dued cough. all is quiet as the
church-goers wait for worship to
begin.
In the Shades of Gustayus Vasa
Suddenly the great cathedral is
filled with sound as the pipe-organ

While explaining the character
istics of modern Swedish furni-
ture, Djos quoted magazine ar
ticle, which praised the AIRY lines,
wonderful workmanship, absence
of the bizarre or artificial in de-
sign, wood or upholstery and the
sturdiness without weight"

Dios was born in Mora, Sweden,

parents in Minneapolis, and speaks

Australian Netmen
Erase Mexico, Face
Italy in Cup Final
By the Associoted Press

WILMINGTON, Del, July 3d.
Australia moved a big step nearer
q showdown with the. United
States in this years Davis CUP
challenge round by closing out
Mexico, 80, in the North Ameri-
can Zone final with straight
set victory in today's doubles
match.
John Bromwich and his tall
young partner, Frank Sedgman
proved much too court-wise for
the Vega brothers. Armando and
Rolando, as they set the Mexicans
down. 60, Ga, 60, before a
parboiled crowd Of about 500 at

Having won both of yesterdays

f1ve-setter over Armando-the
Aussies were virtual cinch when
they went into today's bout and
they lost very little time in wrap
ping it up. The Vega boys made
their only bid in a spirited second
set and then wilted, as much from
the humidity as anything else.
Only Italy's two-man team
now on its way to this country
stands between the Australians
and another crack at the Ameri-
can defenders late in August al
Forest Hills. The Aussies will be
heavy favorites when they meet
the Italians in the inter-zone
final August 1914 at Rye, N. Y
The Vega boys teamed well and
for stretches were downright bril-
liant. But Bromwich and Sedg-
man, who won last years Winble-
don doubles crown, simply were
too steady in the clutch.
1t was a contest only in the
second set, when the Vegas lifteo

gave it the old college try. But
they couldn't win a service break
though they reached game poin'
