CHICAGO, J.une 2. The Dally .News
prints a cablegram from Its Bergen
correspondent, which says:
Norwegians are not alarmed by the
hints of eminent Swedes that isolated
Norway will become the prey of for
eign aggression. German Intervention
would be more likely than any other.
The fear of any move on the part of
the Kaiser is practically absent;
However, the nation is prepared to
take care of Itself, If need be, by force
of arms. Every preparation has been
completed to repel attack from any
quarter whatever. Red flags, have been
placed in the hands of the rectors of
churches in rural and town districts
to be displayed on the steeples In the
event of danger. This signal will be
emphasized by the ringing of the
church bells for 24 hours.
Has Guns and Can Raise Money.
Korway has no secret service, but
is organizing one. Its field artillery
Is probably the best In the. world. The
navy is feeble as regards big ships,
but the indents of the coast can be
easily barred by mines and the en
trance by sea to Christiania. Christian
sand. Bergen and Trondhjem are pow
erfully fortified. Stavanger is the only
Important place that is .not fortified.
It is rumored that the premier as
secured two new battleships and has
arranged for a loan of 200.000,000
francs from France and additional
amounts from other countries. Be
sides, the Norwegians-are what wc call
"savings bank rich." It is estimated
that 500.000,000 kroner ($134,000,000)
can easily be raised at home.
It has been carefully ascertained by
the military authorities how many
horses can be spared by farmers, trad
ers and merchants. Quantities -of provi
sions will be Immediately available.
Target Practice Day and Night.
All the forts in the kingdom are
fuly manned and target practice Is be
ing carried on with 'the enormous how
itzers on the fortifications here day and
night.
It might be thought by an outsider
that Norway is unduly anxious and is
taking superfluous precautions, but the
nation foresees that serious events
might follow a break with Sweden and
does not Intend to lay itself open to
condemnation for having assumed du
ties toward itself and its neighbors
it is not prepared properly to discharge.
Sweden reminds us that henceforth we
must stand alone. We .are preparing to
do it.

SrECIAU CABLE.
LONDON. June S. Information has
reached Lord Lansdowne, British Foreign
Secretary, which intimates that Norway
Jp on the verge of action which will add
cither a new kingdom or a new republic
to the family of separate European states.
An official of the Foreign Office said to
day: "The government at Christiania is en
gaged -in matters Ihe details of which sug
gest plans for a career of absolute inde
pendence. Nobody could deplore the
Swedlbh Norwegian split more than we
do. At the very least. It will cause a pe
riod of general uncertainty, and may pre
cipitate a reign of political events of tho
gravest, character. This Is particularly
true at this moment, when Germany is
showing a 'tendency to recklessness.
"Our policy of marrying British Prin
cess to a Swedish Prince is thus helping
little to Increase our Influence at Stock
holm. It will lose, much of the desired
effect if Sweden should be deprived or
one-third or more- of its Importance as
a military factor. Since the union seems
doomed. Britain will try to keep the two
independent nations -under one sovereign
and thus retain u kind of hold" on the
Scandinavian peninsula." . .

LONDON. June 2. Lord Lansdowne.
Becr&ary. for Forelgn'Affairs In the ab
sence of Premier Balfour, who Is 111. pre
sided at the" dinner of Conservative agents
last night. Replying to the toast of the
health of JMn Balfour. Lord Lansdowne
referred to' the, hope expressed for a re
newal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. 'and
said that the only practical question
would be as how best to strengthen the
existing alliance.
Never were the relations between France
and Great Britain better or stronger than
at present, -said Lord Lansdowne, and
when the Inner history of the recent tur
bulent months comes to be written, it will
, appear that the good understanding with
France has beep the means or greatly
mitigating the friction and troubles which
seem Inevitable when a great war is pro
gressing. He said that the one great hope
of Great Britain just now Is to1 secure
peace In the Far East.
Lord Lansdowne proceeded to speak of
the necessity for maintaining the army
and navy. This necessity, was illustrated
by Japan, which had cxhlblted'a' spirit of
far-seeing patriotism that all countries
might emulate.

today by the Conference on International
Arbitration. The platform follows:
The 11th anneal tneetlnr f the Lake Mo

In cases f great difficulty, a In tbe settle,

have confident assurance that tbe tribunal
which It has ertabHsbed wilt become of in
creasing Importance la maintaining tbe peace
of tbe world.
Tbe Interests that contribute to tbe promo
Uon of the caue are ever broade.nl nr. Those
of tbe ware-earners are finding emphatic ex
pression, wmmeree Is keenljr sensitive to dls
aetrou! laterrapUens by war. whether near or
remote; tbe promoters of religion and .philan
thropy are alarmed at the hindrance of their
work by every dteturbance of International
peace and tbe sense of human brotherhood Is
Increaalnxly felt and appreciated throe them
the world. Thae signs of promlte show that
tbe long darkness of bsrbarlicn Is parsing
away, and that tbe bright day of universal
peace Is dawning Indeed.
We are blrhiy rratlfled at tbe efforts ct
President Roosevelt In promoting tbe cacses
of International pace and Justice, and we re
joice In his call for a second conference at
The Hague. We confidently expert that any
quertiona of International law that are ntftr
va-roe or undetermined wltl there nnd tl
solution. Wt also hope that tbe conference
wilt frame a general treaty of arbitration that
may more effectively meet the requirements
of tbe situation than any special treaties yet
proposed bare done, and, we will be gratified
If the Indefinite and elastic expectations of
matter of National honor and of vital Inter
ests shall be substantially modified. 1
We earnestly bope that If such a treaty Is
proposed tbe treaty-making authorities of. oar
Government will speedily effect h enactment
for this country. We view the treaty now In
force between tbe kingdoms cf Denmark and
the Netherlands, to submit all their differences
to arbitration, ax presenting tbe Ideal oard
trnicn we r- moving.
The evoluUen of tbe movement for universal
peace clearly points to the early establUtoment
of aa!nteroatio&al parliament with at leapt
advisory powers as a nexreary agency in Its
fulfillment, and we renew our declarations of
last year la reference to this. We feel that
11 Is not new expedient for this conference
to pass any judgment upon tbe plans of or-,
sanitation of f-jch a parliament beyond tbe
neceiaity for tbe repreentatlcn of all civ lilted
nations therein.
We heartily commend tbe work of tbe. In-ter-Farllamcntarj-
Union and rejoice In tbe
seal and efficiency cf the American group of
Its membership. We rejoice that aome strength
ban been given to the cause of Internanonsl
arbitration by Use fact that 90 country has
fver ytt repudiate! in arbitral awatd. AVe
believe that tbe decrees of the International
court will ts best enforced by tbe power of
public sentiment and by tbe f-ar of the Iom
of world respect on tbe part of any nation
against whoa any award may be made. The
formation of pnblic opinion Is aa important
means for the promotion of every good cause,
and we derfre to encourage all agencies that
