DENMARK NOTED
FOR HOSPITALITY
But This Virtue Is Being Over
taxed by Great Influx of
Poor Foreigners.

Copenhagen, Denmark, January IS
Denmark is noted for its hospitality to
foreigners. but there is some evidence
that this virtue is being overtaxed by a
great influx of poor foreigners.
Owing to the lax immigration laws OF
Denmark many criminals also have
gotten into the country Several dis
tricts in Copenhagen have been taken
over by the newcomers. The police
maintain a close watch over the foreign
quarter. a watch which is shared by the
Russian legation and the leaders of the
Danish Jewish communion which fears
that its high reputation may be in
jured by undesirable arrivals.
The greatest trouble in the new dis
trict is caused by the meetings and
pu blications of the Russian political
exiles. The matter printed in the
paper published by their union is such
at times that Il is a reflection on a
friendly country
Besides the political refugees the
district shelters pronounced criminals
gang of counterfeiters recently oper-
ating here were Russians. and when
the police arrested few of them. be-
tween 100 and $50 tried through Russian
relief committees TO get enough money
to leave the country. 1t IL also feared
that white slavers" are making the
colony their headquarters.
The authorities are becoming so
alarmed over the conditions that they
are contemplating measures to check
the Influx OF undesirable aliens. and in
this connection several citizens have
suggested an act modelled on the emisrs-
ton laws of the United States.
