March 19—The NORW AY CELEBRATES IBSEN’S SKIEN, Norway, March 19—All Norway is honoring its great lyric and dramatic poet, Henrik Ihser, whose centenary occurs tomorrow. Many from the United States and the continent of Europe are visiting the place here where Ib- sen was born, the son of a mer- chant of Danish, German and Scottish extraction, who soon went bankrupt and left Henrik to struggle through a youth of pov- erty. g The famous Natdonal theatre at Oslo arranged a special Ibsen sea- son from March 14 to 23 for over- seas visitors. Ibsen began to write poetry in 1847, when le was 19 years old. He made a gloomy, sinister im- pression on the persons who knew him at that time. Later at Ber- gen, which shares with Skien and Oslo the honor of being the center of the centenary celebrations, he got a place as “stage poet” in a little theatre. ~Previously e Rad| earned a precarious living at 0| CENTENARY Bergen has arranged an exposi tion of Ibsen literature, souvenirs and pictures.

Aunnoyances which Ibsen suffer. ed and the backward, ignorant conditions which he observed about him developed the ironie ‘qualities of his genius. He pub- lished the drama, “Love's Com- edy,” in 1862 as a protest against the conventionality .whieh dead- ened relations between men and women. In “Brand” he denounced weak- nessés which he observed in the Norwegian character. These and other faults, which he thought he saw, are personmificd in the hero of “Peer Gynt.” Passing through the political spectacle of Germany at war with Denmark, and then with France, he nfoduwd ‘his “Pillars of So- ciety,” in which he drew a picture of social egotfsm in a prosperons In his play, “A first developed &flffl?lhi(ff | WASHINGTON, March 19—In- crease of funds and personnel of the Alaska communication sys- tem maintained by the Army, the United States 8ignal Corps, is not justified under present eondi- tions, Sfcreury of War Davis be- lieves.
