This point was the first land seen after the ship left the bar at the mouth of the Columbia. The point was passed at S o'clock Wednesday afternoon.

An American connected with the taff of our legstion In Stockholm bent forward to me at a table In a hotel and oaid: -Really. I am not talking nonsense, but you will escape the risk of an un comfortable scene if you don't speak English In public places here." In Norrray. by the same token, the sound of Qerman rather gets on peo ple's nerves. In Norwsy. from Chris tians to Bergen, tha children In the treeta are singing "It's a Vont Way to Tlpperary." and when tha bands In the parks play the tune the storm of applause and the demands for an en core last a minute or two.

In which the 'writers try to be Ciceronian and suc- ceed in dropping to the level of fish wives, are numerously displayed.

" A feature of these window displays that la Interesting, whether It is aj T f.,a, f MBS. HOWARD gPAVLDIXO significant or not. is tha sign of the Napoleonic cult that Is sweeping over Europe. It is prevalent in Belgium. It exists even in Germany. It is flourishing In Norway. Interest la Kapaleea Revived. Thetre are portraits of the Emperor when he wss a young officer of artil lery, when he was consul, and when he had assumed the purple. He Is shown n the retreat from Moscow and in tne tight after Waterloo. He Is seen In the familiar and touching picture which reveals the prisoner . of St. Helena keeping lonely vigil on the rocks. There haa been a revival oi tne wnoie series of fascinating early lSttj century nrlnts depicting more or less fanciful episodes in the childhood of the King of Rome. Among these are the quaint, sweet prints entitled. "Chut papa dort." and "The King of Rome's Firm Ride." Bronse statuettes of the tmperor are frequently, to be seen. Lake the prints, they range In price from a few pennies to a sum that buys a really artistic bit of work. These Napoleonic souvenirs are everywhere. There Is something more than natural In this U but philosophy could And It out. Is It only the sur vival of a supremely picturesque per sonality or Is It an Indirect perhaps, unconscious expression of Europe's yearning for a great man In a time of mediocrities? Uu af Shipping Keealy Felt. To move a century away from that supreme personality to the only domi nating personality in burope loaay there used to be a cult of the present German Emperor all ever Norway. Indeed, it waa more than a cult; It was a genuine affection. All that has vanished before tne belief of the Norwegian people that Norway has lost a considerabla pro portion of her merchant shipping through Germany's submarine cam paign. A few year ago William II naa hosts of personal friends in Norway and a nation of admirers. Every Sum mer the Hohensollern cruised in Nor wegian waters, and during those visits of the yacht social Interchange was incessant. The girls of the families of position In towns like Bergen were alwsys go rr to balls on board shi.. while the German vessels lay offshore. For tS years the Emperor took breakfast with Consul Mohr a Norwegian millionaire who is honorary German Consul at Ber gen upon the arrival of the Hohen sollern In Bergen waters, and for 24 years bo ate a farewell meal with the Consul just before departure. The 36th of thesa farewell breakfasts was to have been eaten on a certain noon of last Summer. The war came and tha Hohensollern ateamed away to Germany. "I wonder." mutters tha old Consul sometimes, "how far in the future lies the Emperor's (Oth fruhstuck at my house." Kaiser's Kind area Recalled. A Norwegian said to me, "Tou know we loved the Kaiser." Then he told the story that Is known In every Norwegian hamlet from Chrls tlansand to the North Cape the story of the great fire at tha trading town of Aalesund In January, 1904. the town the Emperor loves, and to the church of which he has given a beautiful win dow, v It Is a story that even now Nor wegians cannot tell without emotion how when the town was swept by fire the Emperor had asKlstance on the way even before the Norwegian govern ment could get Its plans in operation: how German warships raced Into the harbor with food and blankets and medicines and building materials and money, and how. In memory of the benefaction, the grateful townspeople have erected a memorial and surround ed It with a bronze portrait of the ben efactor. Now anything and everything that can be interpreted to the discredit of Germany and the Germans is so inter preted by the mass of the Norwegian people. The exceptions among the mass are the military class, the larger part of which la decidedly sympathetic with Germany., and thst pert of the intel lectual class which is composed of the physicians, lawyers and engineers who have studied in Germany.
