sentiments to President Roosevelt The

Denmark has concluded a treaty OF
arbitration with Italy. Both powers
pledge themselves to submit possible
controversies to the Hague tribunal
The treaty is important because it has

try and great power.
The American Brewing Institute OF
New York has asked Prof. n. Hjalmar
Nilsson of Svalof to come to America

The city council Of Randers has

Dor and increasing its depth to IS feet.
Natural gas has been struck at Hor-
netorp, Hirtshals. At one place gas

Georg Brandes, the great internal
tional literary critic and apostle of fair
play, was asked in an open letter why
he never espoused the cause of the
Jews, his countryman, Mr.. Brandes,
being of Jewish descent. To this he
made lengthy reply which contains
many interesting points. He makes the
preliminary remark that he is asked
so many questions that it takes three
months of the year to answer them.
In the different countries of Europe
he M
bureau of information on general af-
fairs. Besides a host Of people who
have their own personal axes to grind
there are many who try to make out
that it is his duty to champion some
cause which they have at heart, and
they are generally much surprised
when it takes some time before they
receive an answer. In one instance
prominent lady asked him to write.
an essay on international peace to be
read at a peace congress in Rome.
When he suggested that she better
get Kaiser Wilhelm to write such an
essay the lady was greatly offended
During the conflict between Sweden
and Norway the Norwegian repub-
1icans made a passionate appeal to
him to wage newspaper war in favor
u q 4<Ol NcSldI ItpuUllC, anu from
Sweden he was entreated to plead the
just cause of Sweden before Europe.
The Italians and the Polanders want
him to secure Nobel prizes for some
of their worthy countrymen. AS to
the Jews, he says, he has found it
difficult to strike hard blows for their
cause because the great Jewish news
papers will not publish his express
sions on that subject. Brandes says
that he is strongly opposed to the
plan of making Palestine the future
home of the Jewish race, and he thinks
the Jews made a mistake in declining
the offer Of England to permit them
to settle in Uganda, Africa. He looks
upon Max Nordan, the present leader
of the Zionist movement, as an incom-
petent person. Brandes finally speaks
favorably about the movement among
the Russian Jews and about revolu-
tionary tactics, which, he says, in a
few years will be the means of giving
the Russian Jews the same rights as
other Inhabitants of Russia.

Gossip From
Scandinavia.
Principal Events That Have Oc-
Cured in the Old Countries
Within a Week or So.
o~VHH~HHAAHAAAAAAA,

The st. PauT Pioneer Press paid the
following tribute to the natives of the
Scandinavian peninsula in it's New
Years edition: Outside of Russia and
Japan the event of the year was the
separation of Norway and Sweden, an
episode important, not only because 1t
meant the creation of a new and in
dependent nation in Europe but be-
cause of the manner in which it was
effected. That an event of the kind
should have taken place without the
shedding Of single drop of blood,
without recourse to force on either
side, was an object lesson for the
world from which it ought to profit.
Both Sweden and Norway won by their
self-restraint and patience, and by
their refusal to regard false notions of
national honor, the respect of the
world in measure that the longest
war and the most brilliant demonstra-
ton of military skill would not nave
Won for them.

The executive committee Of the
Danish peace society has resolved to
send an address of thanks to King Os-
car for his conciliatory and chivalrous
conduct during the Union conflict. It
will be stated in the address that a
similar conflict between other nations
would not have been apt to terminate
SO peacefully. The hope is finally ex-
pressed, that the three Scandinavian
Kingdoms will cooperate in the inter-
est of peace and justice. The address
will be handed to the Swedish ambass-
ador in Copenhagen.

Did Not Know Santa.

Minneapolis. "A bu!lterrior who did
not like the looks of Santa Claus came
near spelling a Christmas celebration
at the home Of E. r Cambell AS it
was he. chased the jolly saint out of
doors, seized him by the seat of the
trousers and was only persuaded to let
go when the old fellow through off his
false whiskers and called the dog by
name.
There is little Miss at the Cambell
residence and it is the Gus: ON to. have
a celebration for her every New Years
eve. This year one of the big brothers
in-law consented to act the part of Sam
ia and dress up in the most approved
fashion with whislxers, gorgeous pad
ded clothes, fur, bells and big sack of
toys.
But Mr.. Bull TERROR had never
heard of Santa Claus. To him the
weird stranger looked more like
burglar than anything else and with a
bound and a growl he rushed at the
supposed intruder. Santa turned and
fled, but not before the dog had fast
enetl his teeth in the padded trousers.

A VISIT TO
M|LLBR00K
OLD RESIDENT OF SAN LUIS VAL
LEY IN COLORADO TAKES
TRIP TO BELL RANCH.
J. L. Hurt Of Center Believes There Is
Great Future From New Industry
on Laramie Plain and Predicts Sue
cess for the Bell Eforts-His Val
ley Like This.

]. l.. Hurt of Center, Colo, in the
very center of the famed San Luis val
ley, was taken to the Millbrook ranch
last night by Mr.. Bell, the party max
ing the trip in Elmer L~oyejoy's auto
mobile. MI. Hurt is interested in the
growing of field peas in the San Luis
valley, where he has resided for the
past twenty-five years, and came to see
what success had attended Mr.. Bells
efforts in that direction on the Lar
annie plains.
Plain Is Productive.
"You have a beautiful spot of earth
here" he said to a reporter for The
Republican this morning, and | be-
lieve it can be made to produce great
crops. This will apply to field peas
as well as other crops, in my estima-
ton. l found the conditions on Mr..
Bells ranch very satisfactory, although
| doubt If the seed were sown early
enough in the spring to come to full
fruition by this time. The oats crop is
something remarkable"
Same Altitude and Rainfall.
Mr.. Hurt says the Laramie plain has
about the same altitude, the same eli
mate and nearly the same rainfall as
the San Luis valley, the conditions be-
ing very similar, and he believes the
cultivation of peas for forage on the
lines undertaken by Mr.. Bell will result
in just as great success here as at Cen
ter. He declares the commission mer-
chants at the markets are paying atten-
ton to field pea-fed stock now that
was not dreamed of years ago, and in
his opinion the crop will prove of great
benefit to the plain.
Plenty of Irrigation Water.
Mr.. Hurt says the San Luis valley is
quite well watered, and Mr.. Bell de-
clares his ranch has all the water need
ed to make it equal in that of the San
Luis valley.

trenchments they will break through.
The danger of clashes is serious.
Taft Warns Combatants.
Taft has given notice that if a battle
occurs the result will be serious. 1t
would undoubtedly mean immediate
occupancy by American troops. Taft
is almost ready to ignore both factions
and appoint a commission of natives
to devise a solution of the troubles.
The plan agreed upon would be en-.
forced by the Americans and it is de-
batable whether any plan generally &C
ceptable may be originated.
Intervention Seems Certain.
There is no longer any question
about Intervention. The conditions
have now reached the stage as to what
form the intervention shall take. State
ments from the factions indicate to
Taft that no agreement a be reached
that will leave the island completely
in Cuban hands.
Great Need of Action.
American officials now firmly be-
lieve that only the good offices of
America car save the island from con-
tinued turmoil and an uncertain politi-
cal future.
