AS to the correspondence originating in
one country and destined for the other, no
account shall take place, and thus the post
office Of the United States shall retain the
whole amount of postage collected in the
United States upon international paid cor
respOndence forwarded to Denmark, and
upon international unpaid or insufficiently
paid correspondence received from Den
mark; and IN like manner the Danish post
office shall retain the whole amount Mt
age collected in Denmark upon interna-
tiOnal paid correspondence forwarded to the
United States, anu upon international IN
paid or insutficiently paid correspondence
received from the United States.
However, each OF the two depal tments
shall be at liberty to claim accounts to be
settled when 1t appears that in one country
for one year there is levied twenty per cent
more than in the other. If an account is
claimed, it shall be regulated on the follow
ing basis:
From the total amount of hostages and
register fees collected by each office on let
ters, added to the total amount of prepaid
hostages and register fees on other CORES
pOndence which it dispatches, the dispatch
ing office shall deduct the amount required
for the conveyance of the mails between
the two countries, and the amount of the
two net sums shall be equally divided be- !
tween the two Offices.
The deficient and additional hostages
mentioned in article six shall not be in
Guided in the account between the two
Offices, but, unshared, shall belong to the
office by which they are collected.

arrangements in force at the time, the CON
ditiOns upon which the TWO offices may re
spectiyely exchange in open mails the cor

other foreign countries to which they may
reciprOCally serve as Intermediates. 1t is
always understood, however, that such cor
respondence shall only be charged with the
American-Danish rate, augmented by the
postage due to foreign countries, or for
other exterior service.
1t is agreed that the account OF this CORE
sp0ndence shall as to the international
hostages chargeable on the same, be regu-
lated on the basis mentioned in the preced-
ing article, but that the amount of the ex-
transitional postage, or other tax for exte-
rior service, shall be reciprocally accounted
for at full rates. Such charges for paid cor
resp0ndence to and for unpaid correspond

which the same is forwarded.
