DANES ARE ANXIOUS
FOR ALLIES TO WIN
They Fear Their Country Will
Be Absorbed by Germany
: If Latter Is Victorious

Copenhagen, Sept. l6.-(By mail to
New York. )-Danes are not only pray.
ing for victory for the allies in the
present war, but they are exceedingly
anxious to see strong British fleet in
the Baltic.
This does not mean, however, that
they do not look forward with trem.
bling to the time when the British ships
undertake to enter it.
1t was when this attempt is made
that they look to see the Germans in
wade their country in an effort to gain
control of the straits and sounds con.
Meeting the Baltic and North seas, so
as to keep their enemies out.
1t is taken for granted that the Danes
will resist such an invasion, but no one
supposes they can do so effectively, and
tney look forward with anything but
relish to such an experience as Belgium
has gone through, even though the Ger
mans should be beaten IN the end and
expelled from the country.
If the British fleet could enter the
Baltic on wings, however, its very pres
ence there would remove an important
reason why the kaiser should want CON
troll of Danish territory, at least i'm
mediately.
Danes are thoroughly convinced, how.
ever, that final German victory would
mean their country S absorption by the
fatherland at no great distant time. On
the other hand, if the allies win, they
look forward hopefully to the recovery
of Schlesswig- HOlstein.

GUNBOAT SMITH IS
BACK FROM EUROPE
Sports Take Him Seriously
and Look Upon Him As the
Coming Heavy Champion
lBY Hal Sheridan.l

New York, Sept. 2S.-Gunboat Smith
came back from Europe with the deter.
mination to establish himself as the
heavyweight world s champion. Many
sports here are inclined to take the
gunners claims seriously, believing
that in second meeting with Georges
Carpenter he would stow away the
Frenchman within ten rounds. The flat
refusal of Jack Johnson to meet Smith
while the latter was in Europe is ia.
ken here as an admission that the Gun.
boat is his master.
Starting with six.rolWd bout In

Thompson, Smith plans a general clean.

EXPERT SIZES UP THE
SITUATION AT FRONT
Force Having Failed to Win
for Either War Is BeCOm-
ing One Of Strategy
(By j. w. T, Mason, former London
correspondent of the United Press.)

New York, Sept 2S.-The report that
Mons is burning may prove the fore.
runner Of news of important develop.
ments in the battle of the Aisne.
At Mons the German battle line, ex.
tending northward from the Aisne, be.
gins to swing to the nOrtheastward, and
between Mons and Antwerp is the
German square.
AT the southwest corner the kaiser s
troops have so successfully resisted the
allied attack that there seems no i'm.
mediate prospect of their dislodgement
by direct assault.
1t has been suggesting that on ac.
count of the British. Franco failure TO
produce an impression on the Invaders
front at the angle of the Disc and Aisne,
an attempt might be made to break
through the northwest corner Of the
square.
If it is true that Mons is in flames
it probably means that this northwest.
ern attack is beginning to develop.
The German line here is very close Ia
the main railroad line used in supoly.
ing troops to the southern front, and
a serious threat against it would call for
an immediate Strengthening of the Ger.
man army in Belgium.
If these reinforcements are available
from Germany the present battle line
naturally will not be weakened. Other.
wise there must be a hasty re.distribu.
tion Of the kaiser s troops in the south
with the possibility of weakening their
battle front.
The German attack ON the Meuse
Notifications has been moderately sue.
cesstully, more so than the allies attack
on the German angle at the junction
of the Disc and Aisne
A gap has been made through which
the Meuse has been crossed. but the
great entrenched camps Of Verdun and
Toul, the termini of the fortified line
have withstood all assaults.
Should Verdun and Toul be taken the
French would have to increase the
strength of their resistance to escape
being turned. They have had the pro.
lection of the Meuse Notifications ON
their right since the battle Of the Aisne
began. If deprived of the assistance
Of this steel aud concrete wall. they
must either risk being flanked or re.
dispose their troops so as to get n
stronger force to the southeast corner
of the German front.
The higher strategy on both sides
therefore, now seems developing at op.
posite angles of the battle square.
The allies appear to be preparing to
assume a new offensive In the north.
westi the Germans are increasing their
exertions in the southeast.
An unskillful redisposition Of troops
at either of these opposite aims might
quickly decide the fate Of the battle.
