. Christiana, Norway, Feb. 26.-Ger-.
man Socialists have failed in an ef-
fort to negotiate a deal with the Nor-
wegian Socialists to supply them with
40,000 tons oPd German coal as pay-
ment for distribution of German prop-
aganda in Norway. The Germans de-
manded also that the Socialistic fac-
tion of the Storthing, seek to modify
the agreement for exporting of Nor-
wegian fish to Great 'Britain so as to
increase the amount of fish sent to
Germany.
A plan similar to this was success-
fully negotiated by the German So-
cialists in Denmark and, it is claimed,
that the Germans induced in that way
they Danish Socialists, their press and
representative in the Danish cabinet
to take a pro-German attitude. ;
Wilhelm Jansson, leader of a So-,
cialistic press bureau in Berlin was
sent to Norway to put the deal
through here. The Norwegian Social-
istia leaders rejected the proposition
although the German agent made re-
peated efforts to bring them to his
terms. It is claimed that Jansson rep-
resented the Imperial German author-
ities in attempting to .obtain social-
istic support for Germany in Norway.

L E. William St.
"Love 0' Mike," which might be
described as a musical comedy of
youth, comes to the Whitney for two
performances only, Saturday matinee
and night, March 2, after 39 weeks in-
New York and a recent engagement in
the Studebaker theater in' -Chicago.
The cast is headed by George Hassell.
In this play he appears as a movie-
struck butler who simply must give
vent to his passion for excitement,
even to the extent of robbing the
house in which he works. The scenes
occur in the country home of Mrs.
Marvin who is holding a week-end
house party.
The music is by Jerome B. Kern,
who wrote "Very Good, Eddie," "No-
body Home," and "Oh, Boy." He
has contributed 15 tunds to "Love 0'
Mike." Thomas Sydney is the author
of the book, and Harry B. Smith wrote
the lyrics. Miss Marbury is the lead-
woman and the remainder of the cast
is made up of some well known and
attractive young actors.
The women's war relief committee
of the University of Illinois, is plan-
ning a large vaudeville show to be

ey for our soldiers in France.
