as Result of
Placed By
United States..
Chrlstfania, Dec. 3.—Tho food sit- Washington, Dec. 3.—The official
^^uation in Norway has grown from Serbian press bureau has made pub
^bad to worse, especially since me
^American embargo was imposed. So
l'i|j?jlong as the commercial relations
«if$|could t)e maintained between Nor
r^w,ay and the United States, the im
^•gfpwrt of food was about big enough to
Ixriee^. the consumers' demand. Ex-
scept for the steadily increasing
,-prices of all articles of food, every
tHlng could be bought as before, the
only form of rationing being sugar
which could only be bought from uie
^government stores two pounds at a
time
Were T.x Optimistic.
AJB a matter of fact, the govern
ment and especially the food Min
ister had been too optimistic. When
-cablegrams from Washington stated
that the American government was
going to place an embargo on differ
ent articles the answer from the
Norwegian, government to the press,
asking how this would affect Nor
way, was that it only meant that
Norway should guarantee that noth
ing would be re-exported to Oer
many, and then Norway would get
all it needed.
At last, during the last two months
it' has dawned on the government
that Uncle Sam means business and
that Norway cannot expect special
favors as a favorite friend.
Established Grain Monopoly.
After the importation of gram and
flour stopped the government estab
lished a grain monopoly taking
charge of all grain imported and pro
educed here. The farmers are not al
lowed to sell their crops .to anyone
but the government and ,at a fixed
•price.' The. nation will be put on
flour or bread rations, every person!
adult or child, being allowed 25
.pounds of. bread monthly, or 1.6
pounds of unsifted flour. The people,
however, are instructed' to mix po
tatoes in the bread dough. With
-this jrear's crop and the imported
-grain.' in storage, Norway has enough
flour till February or March.. It is
hoped here that the United States
will grant export licenses for some
of the grain bought there by Nor
wegian importers and the Norwegian
government which now is ready for
shipment.
Norway is dependent on imported
-.Btigar as no sugar js produced here.
The consumption of sugar is i-till un
limited. Candy factories turn out as
much candy as before and no sugar
jcard is in use here, as in Sweden.
Last summer an ordinance was
passed putting motor vehicles and
motor craft on rations of gasoline.
The result was that automobiles .were
used more freely than ever. The
American embargo again forced the
'authorities to action and the sale of
gasoline for use in private cars was
.entirely stopped beginning October 1.
Taxicabs were only permitted to op
erate .from 6 a. m. to 8 p. m. and the
streets in the city are now as quiet
andi free from noise as they were
years ago.
Kerosene Supply IjOW.
The supply of kerosene is becoming
very low with no prospect of re
placement. For Ushers this is dis
astrous as all along the coast they
areC,: using kerosene-driven motor
boats. The country population and
the' poor people in the cities using
kerosene for light and cooking are
hard hit, as every family is only al
lowed two gallons a month.
The scarcity of fat is felt more and
more every day. The majority of
the ,population have been using mar
garine instead of butter, buLnow that
the: raw stuffs for this product are
not allowed to be expo-ted from the
United States the margarine produc
tion, is reduced every week. Grocers
have been forced to put. their cus
tomers on allowance, nobody recelv
ing more than a pound at once. Nor
waif, is facing a fat shortage and the
nation will have to be rationed.
As for fuel, the people are put on
rattans, except those who can take
care of themselves and afford to pay
the^'prices for coal and coke import'
ed from Great Britain.
Everybody asks: "Why does not the
government entirely stop exports if
thereby more favorable importing
conditions can be established with
the',Allies?" But no official answer
is given.

52,951 War "Captives Perish
from Overwork and Under
feeding, Official Report.
I lie a startling report on the fate of
Serbian prisoners of war arid deported
civilians, prepared by a French jour
nalist at Zurich, Switzerland Forty
thousand old men, wftmin-and'chil
dren have been deported by'the Cul
gars from Serbia to Turkey. Interned
Serbians and prisoners of war are
treated' iwith appalling barbarity in
Germany, Austria-Hungary and Bul
garia. The Serbian race is menaced
by the measures practiced against it
by its enemies.
At the beginning of 1916, 754 Ser
bian prisoners were taken to the pris
oners' qamp at Saltau, Hanover. They
were in the last stage of exhaustion
and could scarcely drag themselves
along.
A prisoner who could speak Ger
man makes the following report:
M.obbed in Austrian Towns.
"We are dying-of hunger. During
our passage through Serbia, the pVas
ant Women often .came and brought
us bread, cheese and bacon, but. the
Magyar soldiers who formed pur es
cort kept it. all for themselves. In
several Austrian towns .we were mob
bed. People spat in.our faces and
struck us over the head with'sticks.
About 30 of my comrades were .ser
iously injured in this way.
"For three months in Bohemia "we
were employed in field .work- -and'the
construction of railway lines. The
food was horrible,' soup which made
you sick, a few potatoes and a piece
of bread in such insufficient quantity
that by the end ~oT six' weeks, 32 of
my comrades' had died of hunger.
There were terrible punishments for
those who failed to accomplish their
allotted tasks, floggings, cells, with
only one piece of bread in four days,
the prisoner would be- suspended
from a tree by his feet and kept in
this position until death appeared
in
Shot for Eating Potato.
In the country punishments were
more summary. A soldier who pick
ed up and ate a raw potato was shot
on the spot. This happened in several
cases. Besides this, 40 of my com
rades were taken back to Serbia un
der the pretext that they were to in
dicate where our guns were buried.
We never heard of them since.
"There were about 40,000 Serbs at
the prisoners' camp at Koenigsburg,
Saxony. They were mere skin and
bones, they were clothed in rags.
'They were housed in a field by
themselves, divided from those of the
prisoners of other allied nations by a
high barbed wire fence. No one was
allowed to .communicate' "With them.
The food that was given them was
disgraceful.
Many Perished of Hunger.
'In Austria-Hungary, the Serbian
prisoners are distributed in several
camps. Everywhere the same suffer
ing and the same tyranny as in Ger
many. But the fate' of the Serbian
prisoners at Mauthauson was the
most terrible of all. Worn out by fa
tigue, hunger and cold, prisoners
BUC-
cumbed every day. According to an
escaped prisoner, one could often see
Serbian prisoners digging up 'bones
which had been thrown on the refuse
heap Others ^pulled up grass and
herbs and ate the roots, ''or
defying
the blows of their guards, they threw
themselves on the carts containing
mangels for cattle and devoured
them.
Serbians Employed at Front.
'It must not be forgotten that the
Austrians employ Serbian prisoners
on the Italian and Russian fronts for
trench digging, laying barb wire and
transporting munitions and wounded
in the fire zone. There were more
than 400 Serbian prisoners in the
camp at Brauriau who had been
wounded on the Isonzo front.

GRANnFORKS
the Austrian and Germaii authorities
prove that this information li' cor
rect. The total number: of Serbian
prisoners in theae two countries' is at
present not, supposed to exceed *70,
000. If we compare this figure with
that given by the Fraftkfurter Zei
tung—viz., .122,831—-ve ^e driven to
the cftncluston that 68,Ml Serbs have,
already died in Germany and Austria
Hungary that is to say, almost 50
per cent ,.
Children Are, Tlcattid OnteOy.
"As regards the deported (Interned)
Seros in Austria^Hungary who* al
ready number more than 30,000,' they
are likewise in a wretched plight/ Tn
their camps you may see children
of from 10 to 16 years whom the au«
thoritles dare to call 'comitadjis' and
who wear badges of shame on their
caps and jackets.' In these campp.
too, mortality is very high.
"The problem is most serious. It
is a case of saving what is left of the
pick of the male population of an al
lied country which has during the
course of this terrible war lost, a
quarter of its population.
"Steps already have been taken ic
the United, trates, in France anl in.
I'jngland to .obtain the neccss^c
quantities of flour, rice and macarqni
etc:, which would permit the sending
of. at least one parcel .per week,, t^j
each Serbian prisoner. This is the
only means whereby our friends may
be saved from certain death."'
The ex-csar Is looked upon rather
pleasantly in Siberia as the great orig
inal colonizer 'of the country.
