BERGEN HAVEN
FOR NEUTRALS
DURING WAR
BKBGEN. Norway, an. !• Sim* the
war la gan Bergen has taken on added
importance as a shipping center. It
has been a point where neutral ships
gathered to be convoyed through dan
get* /ones, and all pa -mgers cm
barked for British and Si.ittish ports.
Because of the great influx of English
speaking tourists in normal times.
English was spoken very generally in
the larger cities and towns even be-1
fore the war. but now m .rly all Nor
wegians speak English Foreign ref
ugees from itussia and Finland re
cent I y have kept all the resort hotels
in the Norwegian mountains crowded
Travel has far exceeded tin* capacity
of the railway between Christiania
and Bergen, and tin* inn have been
unable to accommodate tin great mass
i
of refugees who are endeavoring to ,
make their way across the North sea J
on the crowded steamers operated by
the British government
In spite of their proximity, Sweden j
and Norway are quite unlike. The
former is more military. It is fash !
lotted on German lines. Norway is
more democratic and independent. It
rejoices in its own music .md litera
ture and does not content itself with
standing in the shadow of any great
power. Monuments to Ih n. Grigg,
Oh* Bull and Bjornson slew the de
votion of Norwegians to heir own
men of genius.

BIG SHORTAGE
I.ON'MO.V Jail a Oni* of the un
usual plans suggested for hridging the
transition period while Kngland is
being changed from a war to a pear
basis is a proptisal that the govern
ment should build houses ami either
sell them on longtime payment- or
furnish them outright, particularly to
soldiers
Kngland is wrestling with manny of
tlm same housing schemes that were
put forward in the fulled Stales when
thousands of workmen were called to
centers of war activities In the opin
ion of Sir .1 Tudor Walters, a mem
ber of parliament who has given
much thought to housing. Kngland
faces a shortage of alto,linn houses in
addition to her normal requirements i
of loo.imp new ones annually
Thousands in the building trades
have gone into other work, as all
building operations ceased when the
war started. Materials are at ex
orbitant figures or unobtainable. It
is much more difficult for a prospec
tive small house- owner t<- linanec cop.
strip tlon than it was four and a half'
years ago l -
One of the Ilians suggested is that
the government pay the householder
the (inference between what his house
"ill cost to construct inn.Imt.-lv

mated value five yean- hciic*.

money ohtalned front abroad daring $j

’o her allies, either by subscribing to 1

■basing their bonds says an official j iji*
' n ■' of the deperimeut of finance
I"h" total amount invested in all these g

diould lie added $110,000,000 repre
tenting Japanese foreign loan bonds
md company debentures redeemed in 77
'ensign markets.
Japan's sea borne trade was greatly
iffected at the beginning of the war,
■ays the report, but her export trade
ifterwtird became very brisk There
vas a pronounced increase of Japan's
hipments to near by markets and to
lie South seas to take the place or
'omti.'i litie. that had censed to be
hipped from Kurope. This was es
iccially conspicuous as regards
hina, where there was a large tic j
Hand for Japanese goods. I.arger ■
hipments of munitions and food sent
o the allies increased the volume of
’*Ports. In 1917 these amounted to
N01,50(1.(100, an increase of $237,780,
'00 over 1910. Japan's exports for
917 were $517,900,000 $139,000,000
11ore than in 1910
The excess of exports over imports
n 1917 was $2X3,500,000, an increase
if 52 per cent over this balance of
rade in 1910. This apparently has
laved the way for an expansion of
span's industries and trade in the
uture, said the report.
