King Frederick Of Denmark and Of the
queen mother. Alexandra. Of England,
died from pneumonia. He was born
In 1928.
Copenhagen, May 29.-The navy de-
partment yesterday entertained 400
petty officers of the American squad
ron on motor trips and at luncheon
ut the Tivon Garden. Each of the
guests was presented with q cigar case
emblasoned with the Danish and Amer
lean arms. The officers of the squad
ron attended race meeting and
dtned at the American legation. The
American warships were open to the
public and $4,000 persons inspected
the vessels. The king has ordered
that no festivities be cancelled on &C.
count Of the death Of his uncle, Prince
John.
King Friedrich paid visit to the
ships Of the American squadron. His
majesty accompanied by Crown
Prince Christian, Prince Waldemar
and Prince George Of Greece, encircled
the Louisiana, Kansas, New Hamp-
shire and South Carolina and then
boarded the flagship Of Rear Admiral
Badger. The warships and excursion
steamers were dressed with flags from
stem to stern in honor Of the occasion.
The shore was black with cheering
crowds Of humanity. King friedrich
and the prince spent two hours among
the fleet visiting all vessels. The king
especially asked to see the seamen Of
Danish birth, with whom he conversed
Tor some time.
A Copenhagen cable says: Copen-
hagen turned out to greet the second
division Of the United States Atlantic
fleet uEder command Of Rear Admiral
Badger, which arrived for q weeks
visit. A gun salute was exchanged by
the American squadron and the land
batteries. Thousands Of excursionists
cheered as the Kansas, New Hamp-
shire and South Carolina, headed by
the flagship Louisiana, moved up the
sound to Helsingfor. American and
Danish flags are lavishly displayed In
the capital where the Danes have pre-
pared to give the American sailors Z
warm reception. During the visit
Kind friedrich will receive in audience
Admiral Badger and the captains Of
the American warships and will give
grand official dinner where the fleet
officers will meet the most prominent
people of Copenhagen. A naval ball
will be given by the minister Of the
navy for the officers and midshipmen
to meet Danish officers.
This 10 the way q great American
daily sized up the performances of
the Danish male chorus, visiting some
o: the larger American cities: They
are sturdy. stalwart group conspio-
uous among other things for their so
lidity and gravity. If the atmosphere
Of dignity robbed the chorus work Of
something Of grateful boyishness, it
added an unusual poise and sympathy
with the directors lightest wish. There
was no overtaxing of voices, no pre-
dominance Of one section over another,
but well constructed whole made up
Of excellent material. The Danish stu
dents are admirable on attacks and ev-
en- more to be admired for their artful
releases. Not through the whole pro-
gram was there any intimation of
slothfulness. They sang, actually, az a
many-voiced entity, and some of their
attacks were like blows, SO sharp they
were, so sudden, SO remarkably def
mite, the visitors managed. to do one
thing that is rare-sing their fortes
and fortissimos with the same good
quality that characterized the softer
passages. ... .-
