The Nopoe Vremvo prints the story OF
an eyewitness OF the fighting at Eydt-

"The fighting here proves that the
German armys military qualities in no.
wise Justify their reputation. which was
evidently based on their splendid de-
pertinent on parade field. In skirmish-
ing lines the men are huddled together
like sheep and make an excellent target.
The German cavalry avoid meeting ours
and turn when the Russians charge with
infantry. They do the same thing when
our men come with fixed bayonets. In
the fighting at Eydtkuhnen they re-
treated firing and did not walt for a
hand to hand fight"

SAY DANES ARE PRo.GERMAN.
Nationals In Paris Say Sentiment Of
Country Is Changing.
snecial CabIe Desnntch to Tnr SrN.

PARIS, Aug. 20.-Well informed Danes
in Paris say the attitude OF Denmark
has suddenly turned to one favorable to
Germany. The army Is massed around
Copenhagen and the frontiers are left
uncovered. They add that the people OF
Denmark are subject to rapid variations
of opinion.
An emnity existed for more than 100
years between Germany and Denmark
over the possession OF the duchies Of
Scheswig. Holstein and Lauenburg,
which are now part Of the German EN-
pirc and comprise the province of
Scheswig Holstein. This province was
constituted In 1865, after a general Eu-
ropean war was threatened because of
the action Of the German Confederation,
aided by Austria, in sending in an army
TO seize the territory.
In 1854 the King OF Denmark signed
a treaty reslgning all rights in the
duchles. An interminglng of Danes and
Germans in the citizenry of the province
has always been responsible for strong
feelings and dangerous situations. While
Denmark possessed the duchies for
many years. there were always claims
that the territory naturally and by
heredity belonged to Germany.
Danish residents, under two treaties
had the right to remove to Denmark
while keeping their landed property in
the duchies. These "optants," as they
were known. believed the province would
be ceded back to Denmark, but II never
was and many of them returned to the
province where they we're citizens OF nc
country. This question was allayed

PARIS, Aug Life under military law
at least for the FIRST few days proves to
be much the same as life in ordinary
times. We eat. drink and move about
much as usual. paying the usual tariff
for each action.
But for those who live in restaurants
dinner must be over by $3.50. after which
the chances OF getting a bite are less than
nothing. All places that sell anything to
drink are closed at S. the dining rooms
only being allowed to keep open TIL $40.
Tobacco, cigars and cigarettes are gem
orally sold only In a shop that also sells
wines and spirits. Those that have an
iron barred door in addition to the
wooden one leave the latter open and pass
out smoking materials through the iron
bars to belated customers.
Autobuses disappeared from the streets
last Saturday and were soon forgotten.
In fact the most striking effect OF the
declaration OF mobilization and OF war on
the writer has been that IL has thrown
everything that happened Just before into
dim. hazy background. where time does
not exist For instance. only eleven days
have passed since the verdict in the Call
laux case was delivered. Those who had
to endure the discomfort OF trying TO re-
port the case felt at the end OF IL that
IL was an experience they would not for
get for many a year. Now II seems many
