CANADIAN FLOUR MAY BE

American Scandinavian Lines Business Increases Ten
fold Since War-Copenhagen Said To Be
Clogged with Food Cargoes

That Canadian mills may be supply
ing Germany and her allies with -four,
which England has been trying had to
prevent, was disclosed yesterday when
II became known that large portion
of the cargoes of steamers of the scan
dinavian American Line plying between
New York and Copenhagen consist Of
Canadian flour shipped to the Scandi-
navian peninsula by large mills in Al
berta and Saskatchewan. The large
American mills in Minnesota are also
shipping large quantities of -four to
Copenhagen.
Before the war Denmark raised
enough grain TO supply Sweden and
N.rway with -four. Some grain was i'm
ported from Russia, but this was Usual
ly reshipped to England.
Since the beginning of the war the

in the export business between America
and Scandinavian countries.
II was also admitted that large ship
ments of -four had been received from
Canada and were consigned to firms in
Christiania and Copenhagen. Officials
of the steamship company said. how
ever, that as far as they knew the -four
shipments were for Scandinavian n)me
consumption only. and were not in
tended for reshipment to other ooun-
tries.
Nobody could be found, however, who
could say what had become of the flour
which Denmark furnishes every year
for home consumption.
Since war began the route of the
steamships of the Scandinavia Amer
lean Line has been changed. Instead
of taking the regular course through
the channel or past the Scottish and
Irish coasts, hey no. stop at kirkwall,
on the Orkney Islands. where their
cargoes are inspected by British gov
eminent officials.
Local officials OF the Scandinavian
American Line admitted also that the
exports from Copenhagen to the United
States had almost doubled since the
outbreak of the war. That Germany is
still exporting large quantities of her
home products is evidenced by the fact
that 1000 barrels of German beer ar
rived last week in Hoboken from CO.
penhagen via the Scandinavian Line.
In addition TO having chartered a
number Of steamships. two Of which
are OF American registry. the company

an official OF the Scandilavian-Ar,eri-
can Line. "No matter how the war
will end it will take years before they
will be able TO regain even a part OF
the commerce Germany has lost
through the war"
in the meantime at least three boats
OF the Scandinavian American Line
leave port each week. loaded deep with
American products. which scandinavian
countries did not need before the war,
but which now seem indispensable to
them.

DERNBURC DOUBTS
ITALIAN WAR TALK
Kaiser's Representative
Thinks RumOr Is With
out Foundation.

A rumor received late last night that
Italy had declared war on Germany
was discussed early this morning by
DR.. Bernhard Dernburg, personal rep
resentative and spokesman in this
country of Emperor William. He said
he had not received any such news
from his government.
an my own mind" said DR.. Dern-
burg, 81 am satisfied that the rumor
is absolutely without foundation in
fact. There have not been any indi-
cations lately Of any serious change
in the political attitude which the two
countries have maintained for the last
thirty years. Germany does not want
war with Italy, any more than Italy
wants TO risk everything and start
war against Germany. The two gov
ernments are in perfect harmony with
one another, and the fact that some
Of the unthinking masses decry Aus
tria and want Italy to take up arms
against the Austrans does not alter
the fact that the Italian government
is resolved 70 remain neutral-fOr the
present, at least.

Austro- Bayarian and Italian troops be-
ing concentrated within ten miles OF

der. near Trieste, is not alarming.
When the war broke out the border
lines were at once fortified, and ltJ-
ian as we'll as Austrian border troops

sarv, the boundary lines between the
two countries. just as during the Mex
lean crisis American troops were sent
to the Mexican border to guard It:
"The fact is that the soldiers OF the
two countries. which have been re-
ported so frequently of late as being
on the verge of war, are not ten miles
apart. but less than half a mile apart.
"And it is gratifying to know that
although they have been in plain view
of one another, and have had in many
instances close communication with
one another during the last few
months. not the slightest friction has
occurred to give rise to rumors oil Ill

Blessed With Special Training For His

tant Department Of Institution Says
Hs 10 Only Humble Worker Holding
Up Principals Hands.
Tuskegee, Ala.-One Of the most i'm
portant departments at Tuskegee in
stitute and Of which DR.. Booker T.
Washington is proud is the depart
ment of agriculture, which, like the
other departments, has an expert at
the head, a man with experience, train
ing and ability. These qualities are
possessed by Professor George R.
Bridgeforth, whose early life was spent
In Athens, in the northern part Of the
state and in Limestone county.
He is yet q young man. His first
graduation was from Trinity school in
1894, then at Talladega college, where
he graduated in 1897, but he felt that
he was not yet prepared for his chosen
line, so he took a course at the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural college, finishing
In 1901.
Having finished his training, the next
thing was to work. He accepted po-
sition with the late William 81. Coun-
ell at Normal, Ala, where he remain
ed one year, after which he accepted
a position with DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington in the agricultural department.
OF course he was not at the head, but
one of the instructors and workers.
This was thirteen years ago. He con-
