Doctor Moller. who was at one time
the spokesman OF the Right party In
Folketinget (the popular branch OF the
rigsdag) on foreign affairs, has pub
lished an article in Nationaltidende In
which he calls upon the Danish govern
ment to declare its attitude toward
the efforts OF the Danes of North
Schleswig to preserve their language
and traditions. There have been COM
plants from Germany that the people
and government OF Denmark are en-
couraging the Danish residents of
Schleswig to resist the "Germanizing"
influences. but Count Ahlefeldt, the
minister for foreign affairs, declared
in speech to the folketing in 1912
that the matter In question was out
side the province of the Danish gov
eminent and that its course ought to-
be one Of non-interference. This has
continued to be the policy of the Dam
ish government till now. but recently
one of the prominent officials of Dem
mark assured the German parliament
that 1t has changed its attitude toward
the Schleswig colony OF Danes.

were charged with the preservation Of
order in the country and with the col
lection of the land taxes. Their
sphere OF activity was gradually en-
larged and gradually the force came
to embrace all three branches OF an
army. infantry. artillery and cavalry.

organizing the gendarmes from po-
lice force of 5000 men, under the COM
