Denmark

An observer OF European politics,
writing from Berlin. declares that half
q century Of effort TO Prussianixe, the
Danish population Of Schleswig- -Hol-
stein is generally regarded a. a fail
ure. Indeed. In his opinion. the Dan
ish people OF northern Schleswig are
today more unreconciled and more
anti-Prussian than ever. Although
the younger generation knows nothing
at first hand Of the days when the
province was Danish. thousands OF
Danes have declined to participate in
the celebrations which are being held.
BY the treaty of Prague. which termi-
mated the Prusso-Austrian war. Aus
tria renounced all claim to Schleswig-
Holstein. but insisted that there
should be plebiscite in northern
Schleswig. and that II the Inhabitants
of any defined district should vote in
favor of remaining Danish subjects
such territory was to be ceded back
to Denmark. Twelve years later, at
the Vienna conference, this paragraph
was secretly revoked. Not until Feb
ruary, 1879, was the fact made known,
as the result of which over $4,000
Danes left the province. But northern
Schleswig, from the borders of Den
mark as far south as Flensburg, Is
still occupied by over 100000 Danes.
Practically the only German-speaking
persons in the district are the Prus-
sian officials. Efforts Of the authori-
ties to prevent the Danes from coming
together in associations or other gath
erings. manifested particularly In
threats of governmental displeasure
to the owners of suitable halls, have
been met by the Danes through the
erection of some fifty assembly halls
In various towns. They still refer to
themselves as must Prussians," Prus-
SLAMS by compulsion.
Much of the same state of affairs ex-
lists in East Prussia and Posen among
the Poles. Despite the fact that, un-
like the Danes, they do not occupy any
considerable territory exclusively, they
have firmly resisted the Prussian ef-
fort to wean them from their mother
tongue and their own customs. Prus-
sia has expended nearly $250,000, 900
In expropriating Polish land owners
and settling Germans on the land thus
acquired, but the Polish land holders
are probably larger today than ever
before. There are manifold indica-
tions that Prussia's treatment of alien
races subject to her is to be much
severer In the future. The Prussian
authorities Of small Danish town
have just refused to permit the presi-
dent of Danish university to make
a public address in the Danish tongue
on methods of combating the housefly.
Permission to give concert has been
refused on the ground that Danish
songs appeared on the program be-
sides songs from German composers.
It Is but few weeks since Roald
Amundsen was forbidden to lecture in
Norwegian, prohibition later re-
scinded in face Of public sentiment.
A series of six addresses in Alsace by
prominent French public men was to
have been completed by an address by
the editor of a Paris paper. This ad-
dress has just been prohibited, un-
doubtedly in compliance to instruc-
tions from Berlin.

Road Question TO Attorney General.
A phase Of the good roads question
which has never before come up In
Michigan. and which has been up to
Attorney General Fellows for legal
decision, has been brought to light In
the bitter fight now being made In
Washtenaw county between those who
are advocating the resembling of the
county road system. adopted only last
spring. and as yet untried. and those
who are trying to prevent this rescind-
ing.
Certain business men and farmers
OF the county are determined that the
$4,000 appropriation shall not be lost
for road building purposes even II the
county system is rescinded, and 1t is
this determination that has brought
up the new phase of the question. Ac-
cording to the state law, the $4,000
already voted for road building pur
poses will revert to the county contin-
gent fund II the system Is rescinded
and will no longer be available for
the purpose intended: but the state
law further provided that II any con-
tracts are in force when the system
is rescinded. the county shall remain
under the county system until all con-
tracts are fulfilled. With this provi-
ion in consideration, business men and
farmers will organize a contracting
company to make bid on all roads
not yet contracted for and with the
acceptance of the bid thereby save
the $4,000 for road building purposes.
According to the system laid out by
the country road commissioner enough
road will be built the first year to
bring $4,000 In state reward into the
county. II the county system is re-
scinded this $4,000 will be lost TO
Washtenaw county, as well as about
$4,000 paid into the state highway
fund in the last few years. Only $1,000
has come back to Washtenaw county
so far in state reward.
