Tha fact ta worth mentioning because the maa or woman who could not set on with ' Count Obarndorf could not ret on with anybody under any conditions. It waa this diplomat who uttered words oa th.

The purpoee of war Is to Incapaci tate the enemy quickly and decisively, and the more quickly and decisively that la done the mora humane war Is. Gas Is undosbtedly a more merciful -way to put a man out of commission than tearing him to pieces with -shell fire. In all my search after the truth about the state of feeling In Scandina via In relation to the war I have en countered the difficulties which baffle and discourse, every seeker after facta ia these troubled times, when passions run so high and prejudice Is so Insen sate, i In one country. on province, in oa municipality, even at one dinner party, yon may glean diametrically op poait anawera to questions whicb you would suppose admitted of bnt one an swer. Nobody, broadly speaking, tries to tell yon facta, but tells you what ha wants yon to think sra the facts' or what be himself wanes to think are the facta Kattoa Feels Own Responsibility. But facta that nobody could galnaay or distort are these, and they roust be worth something: (1) On certain afternoons of each week women in Christiaala and. I sup pose, other Norwegian communities, meet to make bandages for the army. (2) The explorers. Amundsen and Hansen, have voluntarily returned to th government generoua subsidies which they bad been granted for the farther pursuit of tbelr Polar re searches. Both men have abandoned, nntll after the war. their Intention ef renewing their Polar exploration, for both felt that this waa no Urn to draw a pea th resources of the country for scientific work. Nor does either In tend to leave Norway during the pres ent time of strain. -Every man's place Is here." said Captala Amundsen. 'No man can tell what will happen If this torpedoing of Norwegian ships continues. Th car tain fact Is that our nag la not being respected, and it Is a question howlone- the nstlon will endure such a state of affairs. At the beginning -of th war Captain Amundsen. If he waa pro-anythlng ex cept pro.Xorw.glan. waa pro-German. Ho thoroughly understood and pro foundly admired the German system and th German seal and patience in taking precautionary measures against all contingencies. As a result of his own passion for system and of the far-reachng scope of his own precautionary measures be dis covered the South Pole. Probably more than any other man tn Northern Ea rope, be knew wnat the German way meant to Germany in th suprems hour. Most pers oaa swrre that the govern ment has thus far been skilful la main taining acceptable neutrality under ex ceptionally trying conditions. In Norway the newspapers ire acx- Iv. In misrepresentation, and thy make a great deal of bad blood. When a Norwegian freighter goes to the bottom of tbo North tea few news papers stop to ask whether- the cause waa a mine or a submarine. Always it la a auhmarlna. Of course th. presence of contraband on a vessel is never acknowieagea. The fact remains) and everybody knows It that contraband la moving in Norwegian bottoms from Liverpool to ArchanxeL and that food. hemp. saltpeter, carbide., sulphur, iron and ropper are constantly In transit from Norway to England rn Norwegian do toma Vessel owners accept th nana or tbo traffic, aa is proved by too enor mous Insurance cnargea maoo iur u coverings of the boats.

Bad as the situation Is. looking at le from tha sentimental point of new, it la not. front the practical point of view, as bad as it seems. For that th fine self -control of th mass of tha people Is perhaps responsible, and that self-control will almost certainly counteract the perils created by the self-Interest of th shipping class. But. balancing everything, the con viction must remain tn th mind of th. observer from abroad that England has av valuable potential asset tn the good disposition of Norway toward ber. and nothing can diminish that asset unless possibly the- wild and whirling words of a few English men or letters en gaged In n misguided effort to serve their country by blackguarding their country's enemies.

Three of these, especially, fell under the ban "brillant." 'Juwel" and "Ju- weller" (diamond, Jewel and Jeweler). The president of the Berlin Jewelers' Association points out to tne police that the word "brillant" has come to carry with it a peculiar meaning, de noting a diamond of special character, for which there is no German equiva lent. Like some American slang, the word has been used so long that It has crept into good usage. The jeweler president then reads the police a little lesson in German litera ture by pointing out that the word Juwel" haa for centuries been used in literature and speech, and by declaring that it is by no means certain that its oricln Is not German. Like 'brillant. it has come to carry with it a special meaning possessed by no other word. If "Juwel" is legitimate German, ne in aists that "Juwelier" Is, too. iTwitli TODAY AND ALL WEEK Win.
