Reprisals Of all the countries under German occupation, it is generally agreed that Norway is giving her captors most trouble and is most strongly pervaded by a spirit of defiant in dependence that will not down, say: the "New York Times." The spin even extends to the school children, who beat up other children induced y their parents to join the youth organization formed by Vidkun Quisling, the Norwegian Nazi leader who played a leading part in delivering his country to the invaders.
Major Quisling himself has to go about under escort of a large and well-armed bodyguard. A bomb ex ploded within a few feet of him in Fredrikstad, Southern Norway, recently and on the same day only his bodyguard enabled him to escape from a riot started against him in the neighbouring town of Sarpsborg. The skating champion Michael Staksrud, who-became a member of the Quisling party, mysteriously disappeared a few weeks ago. His body has since been found in a lake near Oslo. There is no trace of how it got there.
German reprisals have been immediate and severe whenever any thing of this kind has occurred. When a German soldier was shot in a street brawl in Oslo, the Gestapo immediately gathered in fifteen bystanders, took them to the nearest barracks and shot every other man Directors of Norwegian schools have been ordered io expel immediately all pupils showing a "provocative attitude" toward the new regime. Norwegisns have been forbidden to whistle in the streets, because it was suspected that they whistled de-very whenever Germans passed biden "impolite words at meetings by. Another recent order has for-
addressed by Quisling speakers. Meetings in the street are broken up by the Gestapo.
