London, July 21. Norway's attitude regarding the blockade disgusts the Cologne Gazette, which says:— "If it were not so immensely sad' we might laugh at the idea that thd Norwegians, after all the excesses of the British sea- tyrants, are still regarding England as the champion of the independence of small nations. This proves that Germany, when fighting for the freedom of the seas, cannot reckon upon the northern nations, although they are blood relations."
