Down out of those legendary days of Vikings and sea corsairs, comes a story told aroundevery Norse fireside, a story that is probably remembered in the hills where the Norwegian men of today are rallying to defend their olden land. Olaf was king of Norway by the right by which men first became kings he was the strongest and ablest. He was so dextrous and skillful that he could walk along the oars outside his ship as the rowers worked them; or he could juggle three sharp swords, catching each in turn by the hilt. So rugged was he that he climbed the Smalsor Horn, and hung his shining shield atop the jteak no man had climbed before. red-beard- -- i Born of an exiled mother and a murdered father, Olaf in the grew up in Russia, and at 19 became a Baltic. All the coasts of Scotland, England, Ireland, the Hebrides and Wales knew the terror of his forays. He even entered the Thames and attacked London, but was fought and bought off. In the Scilly Islands he was converted to Christianity. Returning to his own land he found it in a state of rebellion, and quickly won election as king. His first task was to Christianize the country. His deeds as king formed the subject for the skalds, or heroic poets, whose works persist today. There came war with Denmark, and Olaf was tricked into a bad position with only part of his fleet He scorned to flee. High on the quarterdeck of the Long Serpent, with a gilt shield, golden helmet, and bright red coat, he was a mark for all eyes, all weapons. After a long and bloody day of battle, the Serpent was finally surrounded and boarded, and her defenders hewn down. Olaf Tryggvason leaped into the sea and was never seen again in Norway. There were legends that he escap'd, that he would return sea-rov- ! I fc ... ... , - - . The resolute defense of the utterly unprepared Norwegians shows that the spirit, at least, of their national hero Olaf Tryggvason did not die. As the English soldiers saw the angels at Mons, as the flaming spirit of Jeanne dArc appeared in the clouds to Frenchmen standing in the shambles of Verdun, so it is likely that to some of the Norse rallying in the mountains to defend their ancient land, the spirit of Olaf with his defiant golden shield and helmet may be as good as visible.

Dark as the situation is, Mr. Libby feels there Is still some hope for peace. "Its got to be proved to the British people that they cant win a decisive victory, he says. Then it's got to be shown that the United States isn't coming in. When those two things are clearly demonstrated, I think there will be a chance to end the war by mediation.
