'ollowing discussion on the safe
of art works in loca galleries
which ,sresulted from the theft of
Mona Lisa, reporter on local
PAPER distracted a valuable Dutch
painting from the Danish National
Sallery The picture was taken to
he office of the paper, and although
he manager of the gallery was in
formed over the telephone that a
painting had been stolen from his
collection, he reported that the
guardians assured him that none was
missing.
Four hours later the reporter re-
urned the painting to the manager.
The affair has caused much comment
md the Ministry, which has charge
IF the gallery, has instituted an en-
luiry which is expected to lead to a
,lan for the better safeguarding of
art treasures.
According to all reports the har-
vest of 1911 in Denmark will sur
pass all records since 1868. Not in
forty-three years has weather, labor
and other conditions proven so aus
oicious to the farmer, and hereafter
when the agricuturist wishes to
POINT to an ideal harvest he will refer
% 1911. There is only one discord-
INT note, that of the turnip and grass
yrowers who have suffered on ac-
tount of the long drought.
1t was feared that labor would be
'carce, but the employment agencies
lid their work so we'll that no short
lge was felt, and with the excep-
ion of the large farms, harvest was
completed within three weeks.
King George of Grace, known as
he business monarch, has beSn maxi
ing his annual visit to Denmark,
where he spent some time in looking
lfter his extensive interests. King
George did not make his usual visit
asst year on account of troubles at
home which demanded his attention
The Grecian king displayed his
ine business acumen by investing in
zeal estate holdings which promise,
IN account of their location, to in
crease enormously in value. His
here have already brought
hime nice profit The king is also
interested in vineyard here. and he
'ells his wine tolocal dealers and
continental exporters.
1t Is reported that Constantin
Brun, Danish envoy to Great Britain,
may again be sent to Washington
where he served hes government, for
years 1t was much against
his will that Brun was transferred to
London, and 1t is said that he will
welcome the chance to return to
the United States.
That some of the Danish cabinet
officers take their well-earned vaca-
tons seriously is evident from re-
ports received from their summer
homes Minister of the Interior Jen-
sen-Sonderup is resting" at his
farm by arising at five O'Clock each
morning and following the pillow for
the remainder OF the day. Anfers
Nielsen, Minister of Agriculture, is
getting valuable experience by TAX
ing active part in the harvest at his
home.
1t is hoped here that the decline
in the population of the Danish West
Indies, which has continued since
1870, may be ended by the opening
of the Panama Canal. In 1910 there
were $1,000 people on the island, and
by 1870 the number was reduced to
$4,000 Ten years ago the Danish
West hides reported population OF
$4,000 and the number today Is CIV
en- at 27100. OF this number. st.
Croix has 10,700 and st. John a
little over 500.
That the feeling here that the
opening of the canal will increase
the population is shared abroad, isl
indicated by the efforts of the Royal
Mail Packet Company of London tol
secure from the Danish government
an extension of the dock privileges
which II enjoys In st. Thomas. To
the representative or the company
now here, the government has given
only a vague answer saying that no
decision would be made within al
year or eighteen months. II isl
that the government
wishes i much larger dock than the,
Royal N III landing to ac-
