their pockets had been emptied ; their buttons and marks of
ranks had been cut off; their boots had vanished. These
are facts which among others can be substantiated by the
various foreigners staying here."

The correspondent of the Berlingske Mende says :
" All the corpses of officers which we received from the
Duppel side had been, according to Prussian usage, tho-
roughly plundered. Watches, rings, gold shoulder-straps,
boots, stockings, all had been taken. Major Rosen was
brought in covered only by his shirt."

The two unknown officers mentioned in the foregoing
report of the commander in chief were unrecognised, for
these reasons—viz., their heads had been shot off in tlie
action, and it was impossible to recognise them by the few
scraps of clothing which were still left upon their persons.

PROCLAMATION OF KING CHRISTIAN TO
THE DANISH ARMY.

COPENHAGEN, April 21.
The following proclamation has been issued by King
Christian to the army :
" Brave soldiers I undaunted and heroic comrades

" The army occupying the Duppel position has been
forced to retreat to Alsen after a defence which will be
memorable to remotest posterity, nut only on account of
the inequality of the contest, but also for the heroism with
which it was fought.

" Heavy indeed have been the sufferings the development
of the contest has entailed upon you ; nor will the great
and painful losses of the last few days ever be forgotten.
But by God's help neither the sufferings nor the losses will
have been in vain, for they will bear fruits in the war we
are now waging against might and injustice—a war whose
aim is the existence and independence of our beloved
couatry.

" I return you the fervent thanks of myself and my peo-
ple for the perseverance and self- sac. ificing heroism you
have displayed, and I are convinced that you will still be
inspired by the same spirit.

" God preserve my brave Danish army I May it receive
the reward of its persevering bravery, and may He confer
everlasting peace upon our fallen heroes.

" CHRISTIAN R."
