During the first month Of the war
food prices in Denmark have risen on
the whole, though not uniformly. A
loaf of rye bread which on Aug. cost
s pence Q6 cents) today costs a
shilling GA cents). English sugars
which were Is kroner a hundred
weight today are quoted at 80 kroner.
The Germans recently have been try
ing to buy foodstuffs from Copen-
hagen. but apart from butter, bacon
and eggs they have always been met
with the reply. 1--WE have nothing to
SELL" The Danish government has
just taken the unprecedented step of
expropriating all stores of wheat in
Copenhagen-48O,0OO bushels, which
will be taken over by public authority
at about II shillings pence ($4.2S)
per Danish tonde-four bushels.

In spite of the war the DanishGer-
man Baltic route between Gedser and
Geestemunde is still in operation for
all freight vessels. The exporting of
food products to England also is on
in full swing. The Scandinavian
American liners have sailed as Usual
since the war started and thousands
of passengers have availed them
selves of getting to America on one of
these steamers. A great many peo-
pie who were stranded in Copen-
hagen are now gradually getting in
line for their return voyage and the
Scandinavian-American liners are do
ing their share in bringing people
back to the states.

on account Of his experiments to as

food, has been appointed to serve on
the committee which is to report on
the proposition Of prohibiting the
liquor traffic. The Danish medical as
sociation has protested against this
appointment. 1t is claimed in the
protest that DR.. Hindhede is not an
expert in that particular field and that
he will not approach the subjec, i'm
partially. The government has given
the temperance people a large repre-
sentation on the committee.
