NORWAY IS A LITTLE
PUT OUT OY THE WAR
CHRISTIANIA -The only menace to
the neutral position assumed by Nor
way, In the opinion of certain well In
formen citizens, appear to hinge upon
a possible invasion of Sweden by Ger
many. There has been intimations, It
Is said, that Germany desires a base of
operation on the southern coast of
Sweden. Should she go as far as to
se£k to coerce Sweden.Norway, by vir
tue of a defensive alliance with her
sister kingdom, would have to take up
arms against Oermany . Such a con
tingency, even In the minds of those
who pretend to see Its possibilities, Is
regarded as remote.
Norway Is expected to maintain her
neutrality. What may happen to her
after the war, In event of victory for
the Allies Is regarded by many Norweg
ians as a more tangible danger than
the llklihood of her becoming Involved
In the conflict. There Is a long stand
itig mistrust of Russia in the minds of
these Norwegians.
It Is said to be no new Idea that one
day Russia , In tier pressing need for
a western ocean gateway, may be
tempted to seek such outlet through
Swedish and Norwegian territory
Heretofore England has been looked to
as a bulwark against such possible ag
gression. Now it has occurred to cer
tain Norwegians that in the possible
flush of victory, and with England and
Russia closely allied, the formers vigil
ance might be relaxed
Notwithstanding these bugaboos,
with which, so far as could be learned,
official Norway is not deeply con
cerned, the country is pursuing its nor
mal way. suffering comparatively little
from depression on account of the war
According to an official statement by a
Norwegian authority less tlinn 10 per
cent, of the countries population is out
j of employment—a condition scarcely
j out of the ordinary at this season.
Imports of food stuffs from the
I I'nited States have materially In
! creased, due to the dimed markets of
Germany and Austria Such falling off
as is noted In Industrial and shipping
activities Is due to the danger attend
ing transportation of raw material on
the sea. and to a tightening of credits
abroad As a safeguard for neutrality,
by a recent ruling of the department of
commerce and Industry, no shipments
that can by the most liberal construc
tion be considered contraband, can lie
transshipped from Norway Into bellig
erent countries
