DENMARK,

Copenhagen, May 14-The commit.
tee having the matter in hand today
presented to King Fredrik report
containing it's recommendations for
the regulation of the future relations
between Denmark and Iceland The
committee is composed of members
of the Danish and Icelandic parlia-
ments and it was appointed at the
time of his majesty's visit to Iceland
last year. The report is accompanied
by a draft of the new law to govern
the relations. The bill to bring this
law into being, which must be ap-
proved by both parliaments, consti.
tutes Iceland "a free, autonomous and
independent country, united to Den
mark by common king and common
interest, and forming with Denmark
a state federation-the United Danish
Empire" If the bill passes, King
Fredrik will be entitled to call himself
King of Denmark and King Of Iceland.
Various concessions have been grant
ed to Iceland giving greater degree
of independence.
The governments of Sweden and
Denmark are negotiating a treaty
which will provide for the arbitration
of all questions arising between the
two countries.
Hans Knudsen, Danish inventor,
has succeeded in operating typeset-
ting machine by wireless electric &C
ton. His plan is to have wireless
kilograms set in type directly and as
fast as they are received.
A pedestrians club in Copenhagen
arranged for a marathon race (21 Eng
lish miles), and the first prize was
won by young sportsman named
Rudi Hansen, who made the distance
in hours, 81 minutes and 16 seconds.
He calls himself "a young socialist
and vegetarian"
The old Kvelstroup farmstead in
Mols was visited by a terrible fire,
only the main building being saved.
The flames spread so rapidly that the
attempts to save the stock proved
fruitless Over one hundred head of
cattle, ten horses and thirty-six hogs
were burnt to death Some of the
houses dated from the time of the
Thirty Years War, and the massive
oak walls looked strong enough to
last for centuries to come.
Anders Jensen is building a large
hotel in Copenhagen. Some time ago
his funds ran out, and he paid his
employees up to date and told them
that he could not keep them any
longer. 1t is claimed that the King
of Denmark promised more funds, and
work was resumed. But he was sur
prised by other troubles. The men
asked for full pay for the period dur
ing which they were idle, and as he
found this impossible they quit work,
and no one can tell when they will
return. This incident has put the
strikes in an unfavorable light. A
great number of men are unable to get
work in the city.

There is no need for me to dwell on

as YOU have beer gettil 2 it lately,

ard you are abe - make out bet
ter in financial way. H. sect you get
most of your support from the town. Is
lit asking too much then. that the stu
dents support this park movement,
which is the first demand. practically,
that has ever been made upon it? We
feel that the out town students
should buy these buttons. If you want the
town to support the college, the COL
lege should be willing to aid the town.
Il mad intended to bring up 500 but
tons for you but since there is an ad-
ditiOn in the population on the cam
