‘VITAL BEARING

ON SEA TRADE

Between German Attack and U. S. Withdrawal British Lose Big Tonnage.

By JOHN W. LOVE Times Special Writer CLEVELAND, April 15 —Germany’s take-over in Scandinavia is a shock of world commerce paralleling that of the opening of war in September. The merchant fleet of Norway is the largest on the Continent. Its

_ size, the great range of its opera-

tions and Britain’s own cOnsiderable dependence on it, plus the ties of Norway with other countries, are such that the German attack sets in motion a new series of concussions. i From the naval, point of view it is a gigantic | flank attack. From the economic, a new rent in the international fabric of trade. According S. Maritime

figures from the TU. ommission, the Nor-

_wegian cargo | fleet. had a capacity

of just under 4,000,000 tons a year ago.. This Wak © almost ‘equal to half the American-owned tonnage and about equal fo one-quarter of the British Empire's. J 700 Ocean-Going Craft ‘The freight ‘ships of Denmark have a capacity of 684,000. Norway's [00 ocean-going ships

- have ranged as widely as the Brit-

ish. They compose, by a small margin of age, the most modern of all the major fleets on the giobe. The prospective withdrawal of American-owned vessels from Norwegian commerce will be a secondary loss both to the Norse and the British, inasmuch as our ships were capable of filling in, to some de-

. gree, for the ships Norway was em-

ploying in the recently very profitable trade with England. Between the German attack and the American commercial retreat, the British and Norwegians, not to mention the Danes, lose the services of a very large tonnage. U. S. Policy Now Significant The American policy now becomes a factor. of significance in the outcome of the war. If to its weight were added a considerably more effective submarine campaign, a scarcity of shipping might become the Seeing factor in a German victory. Nofwegian ships, however, have always been |widely distributed ever the globe. Those not at their ports in Norway probably will continue trading, as many of them have long been doing, | far from home. The

=British will see to that.

About half the Norwegian vessels are tankers, Norway's tank fleet, engaged in hauling oil and gasoline for all the northern countries, including Germany, equals in capacity that of all [the rest of the nations on the European continent put together. y are motor ships in large part, [and in this particular type the Norwegians lead the world in tonnage. | American e exports to the ‘Scandinavian countries, mostly carried in Norwegian ships, have been chiefly automobiles, /gasoline, copper and machinery. Scandina ian business now is interrupted, to be resumed under nobody kno what conditions, and British business may be greatly re-

England’s sea routes to conserve her shipping, and by the probably increased violence of submarine warfare from new German bases.

Kalamazoo Wiggler Search” | Starts—It's All for Science

John Gottschalk, stperinendont of fish hatcheries, is looking for a winter fisherman with a spare Kalamazoo Wiggler. He needs ‘it in

a bit of research he has intended for a couple of years to carry on with Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist. The idea is to find out what a Kalamazoo Wiggler really is, snd the research has been at a complete standstill because of the. lack of one of them. “This much is known of the Kalamazoo Wiggler: It is the larva of some bug. It wraps itself in a little leaf overcoat and settles down for the winter in damp ledves along sluggish streams. . . This much is known, of the fishermen: They will spend a lot of time and energy collecting Kalamazoo Wigglers for use in winter ice fishing. They are excellent bait. Fish like them. But, Kalamazoo Wiggler, as a name, appears no place in the extensive literature about bugs. It is believed that it is a slang term, probably originating near Kalamazoo, Mich., possibly because its value as bait was first discovered by fishermen there. Anyway, it is believed to be the larva of some one of the May flies. Which one is the puzzle Mr. Gott-

schalk and Mr. Wallace hope to|M solve. They have gotten this far in the matter. They have established as a

scientific fact that you can’t get tol

first’ base in rearing a Kalamazoo Wiggler to see what happens and

what he turns out to be unless you|

have a Kalamazoo Wiggler, which they haven't got. Is there a volunteer?
