It was Monk Ilodore, who was excom-

American merchants find the free har-
Dor of Copenhagen an excellent distrib-
uting point. 1t is interesting to note,
says Mr.. Winslow, that there Is no pref
udice against American goods. On the
contrary, they are preferred. Denmark
is now buying from the United States
in large amounts corn, machinery, OILS,
boots and shoes, cotton garments. hour,
canned fruits, apples and ready made

hides. cordials, flint pebbles. dried fish,

year the Danish exports to the United
States have increased by $1,O0O.OOO.
The tourist trade is also growing. Hard

Americans are made very welcome.
Prince to Tour United States.
There is good reason to believe that
Prince Erick,. cousin of King George of
England and King Christian of Denmark.
will complete his farming education by
tour of the agricultural districts of the
United States. For several years the
prince has been at work on his farm on
Ffonia Island, with intervals spent at
agricultural colleges. Next summer he
will go to England to study agricultural
conditions there, and afterward he will
sail for America.
If this young prince considers that he
should go to the United States to learn
agriculture, it is also apparent that the
American authorities are convinced that

The American minister to Denmark,

He does not deny that certain promi-

should exchange Greenland for Mtnda-
mao, with the privilege of trading the lat
ter to Germany for Slesvic, but he does
deny that such a proposition was made
to him by the German government.

Authorities Making Efforts to In
crease Output of Mines.
eign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
ODESSA, March II. 1919.
The coal famine at present existing in
Russia has had the effect of arousing the
attention of the state administration 10
the possibility of vastly increasing the
present insufficient output of Russian
coal. At the instance of the minister of
trade and industry, an expert commits
sion of mining engineers and specialists
has been appointed to study and report
upon the whole question.
The Dombrovo (Poland) coal fields are,
1t is believed. capable OF increasing their
output by % per cent with an improved
system OF exploitation, and the Donetz
Basin collieries are capable OF a similar
development. 1t Is primarily urged, how
ever that a very considerable reduction
must be made in the state railway coal
tariff to permit of the native product
competing successfully with imported
British coal. The state railways import
British coal duty free. while private con-
sumers must pay duty of 81 per ton on
such imports.
Roughly speaking, the present aggre-
gate output of Russian coal might be
easily Quintupled, but as an incentive
thereto primary necessity Is a very
considerable reduction in the cost OF rail
way distribution.

BELIEVE NEW DiRIGIBLES
COULD INVADE ENGLAND
Calculations Support Theory Of Mys-
terious Lights Being Due to
German Airships.
Foreign CORRESPONDENTS Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON, March IA. 1918.
The military expert Of the Standard
says: The theory generally put forward
that the mysterious airships which have
been soaring the British are German is
being disputed on the ground that 1t
would be impossible for any dirigible to
cross from Germany unobserved II it ar
rived over the English coast as early as
9 or 10 pm. To get there at that hour
the vessel would have to start in the
daylight. and it is contended that some
body would be certain to see and report
it's flight.
Suppose that the vessel in question is
a new Zeppelin, and that 1t starts from
Helgoland. The distance between that
island and Grimsby is just over SOP
miles. 1t is known that the ship can
make sixty miles an hour under favor
able conditions, and with the east winds
that have prevailed OF late they would
be very favorable. 1t would be possible,
then, for the vessel to make G1msby In
five hours. Starting at 4 pm, It would
be over the English coast at 8, and the
first hour or hour and a quarter Of the
journey would be made in daylight. But
1t would be the gray, fog-impregnated
daylight of a winters day. The vessel
quickly, and in a moment or two would
merge it's ow ngray shape into its gray
surroundings and become invisible to any
one on earth.
Germany Keeping Her Secrets.
Regarding the question of ability to
keep the air: That is a simple matter
for Zeppelin. A nonstop fight of
more than thirteen hours and more than
1000 miles has been officially recorded.
but that is certainly not the best that the
Zeppelins have done: the German gov
eminent does not tell its secrets to the
world. 1t would be well within the mark
to say that a Zeppelin could remain in
the air, at a pinch. for four days and
nights, but it is unlikely that she would
be able to maneuver during the whole Of
that time.
II We took the case of Zeppelin
starting from Cologne. say for Dover, 1t
would be still easier to account for it's
movements being unobserved The dis
lance between the places mentioned is
$40 miles, or a matter Of four hours
sailing At this time of the year the
whole Of the journey could be made be-
tween nightfall and $50 pm To reach
Portsmouth from Cologne another two
hours would be necessary.
