CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 5—Although
the German government officially has
declared its willingness to pay full
damage when Norwegian boats have
been "accidentally" torpedoed by Ger
man submarines, reports of the sink
ing of Norwegian steamers are be
coming so numerous ns to offer serious
complications.
Many of the leading papers de
nounce the government for nor doing
what ought it ought to in order to
protect Norwegian sailors and citi
zens. No word has been published
from the government regarding what
steps it has taken or how it nas pro
tested.
The Tidens Tegen says that it now
is necessary that the government
break its silence and let the people
know what it has done and Is going
to do in order to stop these continued
encroachments, and “protect our flag,
our sailors and peaceful travelers."
The Morgenbladt says: “While our
sailors are met by insidious death,
while our flag Is offended and Nor
wegian ships are torpedoed without
warning, the government and paria
ment are busy discussing whether the
langugage we are talking is real Nor
! wegian or whether the hymns and
j prayers are to be discontinued in pub
j lie schools. Abouf those events that
j fill everybody with uneasiness and
j wrath they say nothing.”
The Aftenposten, says: “Every
•I thing is all right in Norway! Ger
I many, however, by reasons we do not
j understand is torpedoing our mer
| chant ships, but what does it matter?
In parliament the meetings are more
quiet and undisturbed than ever; no
body seems to be affected or anxious.
At the same time our farmers are tip
against a crop failure; the daily
bread Is dear for the common laborer
and everything seems to be uncer
tain—but with the government every
thing seems to have a rosy hue!
The Shipping Gazette points to the
American note to Germany, “which
contains the same questions and re
quests which Norway, as a neutral
country, must demand from the Ger
man government.”

PRUDENT BUYERS LAY
IN STOCK FOR WINTER
LONDON, Aug. 5*<*The summer
sales in the shops are well attended
this season, as prudent buyers are
laying in stocks for the coming winter.
Blue serges and covert goods, are be
coming scarce, owing to their use by
the navy and lack of dyes. All wool
ens are likely to advance In price, as
the demand for army goods is tre
mendous and labor scarce. Gloves,
for which England depended largely
on the contient, also have an unusual
ly heavy sale among the bargain hun
ters. Cotton stuffs, on the other hand,
are cheaper than in peace times, and
possibly more cotton will be worn than
ordinarily.

ALL UI/OUNDS INFECTED I
SAYS NOTED SURGEON
LONDON, Aug. 5—Clean wounds ap
parently do not exfht, said Dr. H. S.
Souttar, late surgeon in chief of the
Belbian field hospital in a lecture be
fore the Royal Society of Medicine.
Much has been written about the clean
wound left by the modem bullet, but
the doctor never met one in his ex
perience in Flanders, and a colleague
who had treated 10,000 wounds in the
present campaign confirmed this opin
ion. Every wound is Infected, al
though not all the organisms produce
disease.
Dr. Souttar found it was a mistaken
idea a wounded man could apply his
dressing properly. It required clean
hands and non-interference with the
actual wound. His instructions were
that the skin around the wound should
be disinfected with iodine, carbolic or
even soap and water, but the wound j
should not be touched. External ap
pearances of wounds are often decept
ive. Back of a small puncture in the
skin may be a cavity as large as a fist,
perhaps with piece of shell or a bul
let at the bottom.
DISCUSSES DEMISTS
AND THE WAR BABY
LONDON, Aug. 5—“War has sancti
fied the war baby," said Mrs. Cobden
Saunderson before the Women’s
Freedom League at a meeting called
to discuss the subject, “Deminists and
the War Baby." By the term war
war baby Mrs. Saunderson said she
meant all babies horn in wartrme,
whether in or out of wedlock.
As to the baby born out of wedlock,
the speaker declared mat the fact its
father was a soldier gave it some
glorification, but this glorification
caused mothers to blame their illegl
mate offsprin upon soldiers when the;
fathers were in fact civilians. This j
practice hurt the reputation of the j
army and should, she added, be dis-1
couraged.
There ought to be no diflerence in J
the treatment of the two classes of j
illegitimate war babies, soldier and
civilian, by the guardians of the poor,
she went on to say. Special provision
should be made for the livelihood of
such mothers by allowing them to earn
their own money rather than to exist
on charity.
