LONDON, Feb. 1. — A party of
American army officers who recently
traveled from 1*'ranee to London told
the embassy officials that the Germans

parture. Their boat across the chan

A new device with which instruc
tion in aiming u ride can be given,
without the use of ammunition, lias re
cently been tried out iu teaching re
cruits the use of firearms, says Popu
lar Mechanics Magar'ue. consists es
sentially of a wood a '■«*»!. Id inches
long, with a metal end which is slipped
on and fastened to the muz/.lc of the
rille. The outer end carries an urn nge
ment In which miniature celluloid tar
gets are placed. There are also screws
for moving the target up or down and
to the right or left. On this end, too. is
a snml! dotting apparatus and a place
for cards to he dotted by it. In learn
ing to aim, the pupil rests his rifle on
the latter to move the target as he, the
pupil, deems to accord with proper
aim. When the man aiming believes
that the sights and hulls’s-eye are iu
proper alignment he calls out “mark,*’
and the Instructor, by means of a fin
ger key. actuates the dot ter. The lat
ter makes a mark on the card which
serves as a record of the aim.

FEELING AGAINST THE
U. S. IN NORWAY BEING
HELPED BY THE HUNS
CHRISTIANIA, Feb. 1. — Feeling
in Norway against America and to a
less degree against the other Entente
i Allies is growing bitter, it is report
ed here that America demands the
stoppage of Norwegian exports to
| Germany in return for shipments of
! grain to Norway, but refuses to guar
! antee or promise Norway any sup
. plies.
The Norwegians are asking why
they should offend Germany by cur
j tailing supplies at the bequest of
America, and also risk being left em
pty-handed by America alter all. Re
| ports that Denmark is receiving pro
I visions and other goods from Ameri
; ca are received with amazement and
some anger. The Norwegians say it
: is an open secret that the Danes have
fed Germany during the whole period
of the war, while the Norwegians
claim to be comparatively innocent.
Yet, they say Denmark is favored by
America and the Allies and they ask
why.
The Germans are making the most
of the opportunity for propaganda.
