REMAINS OF PAGANIsM.

THE DANISH WEST INDIES.

A contributor to the current number
Of the National Geographic Magazine
offers new explanation Of the reason
why the treaty with Denmark concern
ing the West Indian Islands was de-
feated by the Danish legislature. He
sees in this the influence Of Germany.
His idea IS that Germany looks for
ward to the day when Denmark win be-
come % state In the German federation.
For that reason he suggests, Germany
would not like TO see the Danish West
Indian islands transferred to the United
States Foo II Denmark ever should join
the German empire the West Indian
islands would 90 with It, and not even
the Monroe doctrine could prevent that.
That Is an ingenious explanation.
But is Il probable that German inllu-
ence counts for very much In Danish
government circles? Is 1t not rather
probable that patriotism prompted the
refusal to sell any part Of the little
kingdom?
