Washington.—The Norwegian
Information Service reported
that practically all 1,200 Nor-
wegian officers the Nazis ro-
unded up in their arrests dur-
ing August have now been de-
ported to Germany where it is
believed they are in the Schoc
ken concentration camp in Po-
sen. With them is Chaplain As-
le Enger, pastor of the Piper-
viken congregation in Oslo. The
officers were first assembled at
Hvalsmoen where they were
heavily guarded. Some officers
were informed on Septmber 3,
that they would be released if
they pledged under death pen-
alty not to undertake any poli- í

New York.—The Institute of
Jewish Affairs has recently
published a survey entitled
“Hitler’s Ten-Year War on the
Jews.” The statistics embodied
in this volume give in imper-
sonal tones one of the grimmest
pictures of the meaning of naz-
ism to all the world that has
yet appeared. Before the war
it is estimated, there were 8,-
300,000 Jews in Europe. To-
day there are at most 3,300-
000. Over 3,000,000 people of
Jewish blood have been destro
yed by murder, forced labor,
deportation, and planned star-
vation.
From the U. S. and Britain
have come an official warning
that “the instigators and actual
perpetrators” of these crimes
will be punished, that the atro-

The U. S. has shown its det-
ermination to win the war by
spending $46,393,890,525 on
war activities during the first

S. participation in the world
conflict of twenty-five years
ago. Treasury statistics show
that the net cost of American
participation in 1917 and 1918
was $40,583,062,000.

goal was $9,000,000,000, and
it has now been raised to $11,-
