Fadrelandet of to-day believes itself able to state
that Denmark consented to the prolongation of the
armistice for another fortnight solely upnn the
express condition that England maintain her
proposal for the division of Schleswig; and, should
it be rejected by the Germans, not to make as
hitherto any fresh proposal on the subject of the
division.

tion of the suspension of hostilities or to the conclu-
sion of a definitive armistice only upon the follow-
ing terms :--Denmark to consent to the cession of
that portion of North Schleswig bounded by the
Flensburg Sonder line, or at least to enter into
negotiations based upon that line of demarcation."
