Brandes to Clemenceau

The old French politician and states man, Georges Clemenceau, whose pas sions are running as high as ever in spite of his white hair, has repeatedly succeeded in hurting the feelings of neutral nations, who did not agree with his idea that it is their duty to join hands with France against Germany
 In a recent article in Lhomme En- chaine he says the German blockade of England would arouse the indig- nation fevery nation in the world with the exception, perhaps, of a na- tion like the Danish, that has lost all pride and sense of honor"
 Replying to this accusation, Prof. Georg Brandes of Copenhagen, the fa- nous savant who last year visited the United States, has written the follow ing open letter to M. Clemenceau, who is his personal friend:
 q who at least cannot be accused of any desire to enrich myself by the war, would consider Denmark's participa- tion in the war as an act of sheer in- sanity.
 "As l read your paper I am well aware that you consider it to be the duty of Denmark to declare war against Germany. As long as the Dan ish government has a grain of com mon sense left this will not happen.
 Certainly, no Dane, who lived through the year of 1864, has forgotten that his country was robbed of two- fifths of its territory, or that Prussia and Austria then took away from us not only what they had a national though not legal claim to. but also in north 'Schleswig annexed a prov ince. which was purely Danish in lam guage, character, culture and senti- ment. Neither has any of us Danes forgotten that the promise of 1866 was never kept, which gave the people of north Schleswig the right to become Danes again. We have also with feel ings of greater interest and deeper sympathy than the French seen how Germany's rule in north Schleswfg be- came a continuous and gradually more hateful persecution of Danish Ian guage and Danish sentiments Nevertheless those among us who have any idea of politics look upon a declaration of war against Germany as an insane act. In 1864 we accept ed a war which we certainly did not declare because we were foolish enough to have faith in the promise ot England and France that we should not have to fight alone.
 "It is the fault of England and France that Denmark now has neither army nor navy for offensive purposes. nor even a frontier which it is possible to defend. Denmark will, of course, de- fend herself if she is attacked, but she is unable to take the offensive.
 "The few Danes who shamelessly have taken advantage of the war ro enrich themselves regardless of the fact that in doing so they hurt their country's reputation in the eyes of the world, have been severely punished by the authorities as well as by public opinion.i No foreigner has any right to blame Denmark because of their acts

 sweden has, sometimes under great provocaton, complied with the strictest demands of neutrality, and its relations with both sides are excellent" the King said, and nothing would please me more than if at the end of the war our coun- try were called to play more important part It is too early to talk of peace yet, of course, as long as the passions of the nations have not yet subsded, but sooner or later present conditions must come to an end and Stockholm will be- come the great road from east to west and north to south. More than any other capital of Europe, Stockholm has claims to be considered the ideal city for peace conference"
 | The Tageblatt's correspondent heartily l indorses the Kings words and adds that
 neither side could find a better states
 man to preside at the peace conference than the present Swedish premier Ham, arslSoeld, whose love of peace and ob- jective views are widely known. His work

 Great parts of the country have suf- fered enormous damage from floods and many thousands acres of fertile land have been under water The damage done is very considerable.
 The kingdoms revenues have de- creased by more than 100000 fires, and 1t does not improve matters that the pro- vinces devastated by earthquake and flood have been exempted from paying
 taxes lhis year. At the same time the army of 100000 men, which Italy is forced to keep under arms, costs the treasury an enormous amount, and besides the recent loan of 10000O,00O fires it will be soon nec- essary to issue a new loan of triple that amount. The price of government bonds is rapidly going down.
 So far as the price of living in Italy
 had not gone up very much, except bread, hut this has been enough to cause fam inc like conditions in southern Italy and Sicily. The grain in the country is bare ly sufficient to last to the end of this month.

MUST CUT DOWN EXPENSE
Payroll Of Industrial School at St
Anthony is Large.

The board of examiners, which has
had cause to investigate into the con-
ditions of some of the state institu-
tons, passed resolution to the effect
that the expense of operating the state
industrial school at St. Anthony must
be reduced and that the expense of
operation is entirely unreasonable.
The action of the board is said to be
unprecedented in the history of the
state and the policy adopted will be
followed throughout and result in a
material reduction in cost of opera
tion
The resolution adopted follows:
Resolved, that it is the sense of the
state board of examiners that the pay
roll presented by the Idaho Industrial
Training School at ST. Anthony for
the months of January February and
March, totaling 1855 per month, is
an excessive amount, and that the
same, in the opinion of the board,
shows a system too involved and intri-
cate and expensive for the state to
bear under the present high rate of
taxation, and the state board of edu-
cation is hereby advised that unless a
material reduction is shown in bills
hereafter presented from said institu-
ton, that said bills will be materially
reduced by the said board of exam
