DEN MARK.
Copenhagen

A recent cablegram from st. Peters
burg speaks as follows of the German
Danish alliance: 1T is asserted on
good authority that an agreement has
been entered into between Germany
and Denmark whereby, in the event Of
England being drawn into the war
with Japan against Russia, Germany
should Immediately make friendly
occupation of Copenhagen with pow
erful force, thus effectively closing the
Baltic and preventing the Russians go-S
ing out or the English coming in.
What ARA ngenent Germany has madGV
with Denmark is easily imagined upon
the basis of Schleswig- Holstein and
also the Cumberland family arrange
ment while every one knows Kaiser
Wilhelm's ambitions and the terrible
avidity with which, in view of Ger
manyS meager sea line and harbor ac-g
commodation, he views the already
GermaniZed Russian harbors of Riga
and Reval One or the other or both,
might be called or demanded from the
exhausted Russia in return for vital-F
ly useful protection at critical period
In the inevitable partition of China
which must take place in case of war;
Germany assigns herself the PekinlS
provinces. The Germans have raceAtb
ly advised the building of another fort
to better protect Copenhagen, and thisl
is to be done under their supervision. 4
Says a Danish correspondent: IN
is evident that the German kaiseM is
Systematically counting Denmark ia

try would be of immense value t6i

any war complications arise. Still
it is likely that the Danish govern

cup Of the circuit court Vat Chicago
spoke of 1.-The repeopleizing of our coun-

great step in American politics. This, he
said, could be accomplished only by a

was wanted rather than publicity.

The Problem of Drunkenness.
The New York state commission of

there was a total of 32,134 commit
ments for the single offense of drunken
ness out of total number for other
offenses of 102,5S1. The commission
takes the ground that this offense
should not be treated as crime, as
there is not an element of malice,
while sending -drunkards to prison
tends to make criminals of them by
assOcia ton.
