TO KILL ESPIONAGE
CHRISTIANIA, Oct. 31—Norway is making a vigor
ous effort to stamp out German espionage within its
shores. The Swedish revelations have given a great im
petus to the anti-spy campaign.
The interned German ship, “Berlin,” is to be removed
from Hommelvik to Aqsenfiord, further inside the coast
line. It has been urged for a long time that the position
of the “Berlin” offered opportunities for espionage on
shipping.
_ __ - . i . 1 1 1 "V T •
Guards have been placed not only over ail iNorwegian
military establshments, but also at some of the large in
dustrial works. Thus a military picket has been posted at
the Fredrickstad iron works, where the new slips for 10,- j
000-ton ships are now ready, and trespassers have been
warned to keep away.
Under a law of July, 1917, the commune of Christiania
has ordained that the Chief of Police may forbid persons
who are not Norwegians to reside in the Commune longer'
than a certain fixed period. A new law concerning the ne
cessity of passports and the expulsion of aliens is to be
rigidly enforced after October 1. ' • • j
A spy case which caused a great flurry for a time was
that of a Dane named Kristiansen who has now been ex- j
pelled from the country. The whole affair developed into
an impudent fraud, with one of the belligerent govern
ments as the victims. Kristiansen was obtaining money
from this government by giving or promising to give in
formation of no real value about another. J
