DENMARK.

The Notifications of Copenhagen are
being extended to the west, in addition
to the northern defenses. At a point
about six miles along the railway to
kersoer, extensive barbed-wire entan-
clements have been laid alongside the
tracks and field artillery placed be-
mind recently thrown-up earthworks.
trenches and bombproof shelters, too,
have been prepared. All the railway
stations are picketed by troops carry
ing fixed bayonets on their rifles day
and night. Civilians are brusquely or
iered away from the vicinity of signal
boxes and wires. Though on the Ger
man side Of the frontier an almost
continuous line of intrenchments
stretches across from the Baltic to the
North sea, the Danes have made no
attempt to fortify their side. An Off
cial at Vamdrup, the little frontier
town OF the train traffic between Ger
many and Denmark, declared that
Danish troops were being kept away
from the border line in view of the
possibility that the strained relations
between the frontier Danes and the
German soldiery having dominion over
the Danes of Schleswig-H olstein might
lead to fray. Every yard of the Ger
man side of the frontier is watched.
and all carriers driving out of Ger
many wagons in which anyone might
find concealment have to unload and

Examination of passes permitting
Danes on the Danish side to visit
Danes on the German side is very
searching.
A Danish lady who lives near the
German boundary line wished to make
a call on her mother who lives on the
German side of the line She took
two of her children, who are two
years and six months old, respective
ly, put them into a baby carriage and
started Off When she came to the
customs house at the boundary lire
she was told that she might cross
but the children would not be allowed
to pass unless each of them was fur
nished with pass.
There are many German warships
near Langeland Sometimes the men
come ashore to buy bread and other
necessaries. On one occasion an of
ficer met an old woman who had
Danish newspaper in her hand. He
promptly offered her $3.50 for the
copy. and she was almost beside her
self with Joy when he handed her the
money. 1t is supposed that the Off
Ger was anxious to see what nom
German paper had to say about the

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Bethlehem steel.

An extreme decline of 69A points in
Bethlehein Steel naturally attracted a
good deal of attention. Stock has been
pressed for sale ever since Charles NJ.
Schwab squelched The Goldschmidt plan
of ~popularizsng the stock by reducing
the par value from 500 to 80 a share.
Apparently therefore Mr.. Schwab's At
titude was a severe disappointment TO
the holders Of the stock. who expected
TO sell out on "A big public market. It
IL entirely possible that from 400
up there may have been some specu-
lative buying OF the stock based or
this expectation. And yet. in a broad
sense, the decision of Mr.. Schwab must
be considered bullish on the stock rather
thar otherwise. Mr.. Schwab and his
friends undoubtedly hold a good deal OF
the common stock. II they wanted to
get rid of this stock at the present level
or a higher level the simplest method
would be to adopt the Goldschmidt plan,
following the lead of the people behind
Electric Boat. For there is no doubt
that n change OF This kind would newt
ably lead to a big public speculation In
the stock. Hence II seems logical uha:
the insiders are perfectly satisfied with
their position or that they have a plan
OF their WI which will be revealed
later. For the insiders to continue the
present condition of affairs Ia a plain
hint that their stock IS not for sale
at present.

any price for II. 1t was pointed out that
previous to the war France was paying
her own manufacturers as high as $50
