DANES APPEAR ANGRY.
lndignanb at German Violation OF
Neutrality.

London, Aug. 21.-Reuters Copen-
hagen correspondent sends the fol-
lowing:
Destruction of the British subma-
rine E-13 in Danish territory by Ger
man destroyers, under circumstances
which placed the shipwrecked craft
under Danish protection. has aroused
widespread indignation. Danish news
papers urge that there can be no ex-
PLANTATION or plausible excuse for the
deliberate violation OF Danish terri
tory, as a German torpedo boat had
thoroughly Investigated the locality
before returning with the others to at
tack the defenseless crew. The Voert-
land says:
There can be no question that
the German commander was aware
he was violating Danish neutrality
THE Journal Hovesd etaven pub
fishes a rumor that one Danish tor
pedo boat had man wounded and its
wireless damaged by German shells.
The entire press commends the
governments action in promptly pro-
testing to Berlin. and assures the gov
ernment 1t will receive the support of
the whole nation In whatever action
Is taken.
The admiralty has ordered that the
patrol ships around Copenhagen be
Increased. A Zeppelin this morning
reconnoitred over the waters south
east Of Copenhagen and photographed
the wreck of the E-13."

JTTNEY VICTIM DIES.
No Criminal Responsibility, Accord
 ing to Testimony of Witnesses.

Eight-year-old John Hovanessian, son of kaspas Hovanessian of 17 Oak street, died at the New Britain gen. eral hospital at SEQ o'clock last eve ming of cerebral hemorrhage, as the result of an accident yesterday af- ternoon when he was run down on Hartford avenue by a "jitney" driven by Elton Hyde of Berlin.
 According to Prosecutor Kiett therc does not seem to be any crim- inal responsibility on the part of Hyde. All the witnesses say the car was go- ing very slowly when two children ran in front of it. One of them was the victim. The car was stopped within few feet of the accident.
 It is not likely that there will be any prosecution.

 That there is no reason why our stores cannot equal those of any city in the matter of taking and filling special orders.
 That there is no reason why our stores cannot be as we'll lighted. goods as we'll displayed, and our windows as we'll dressed as in the stores in any city anywhere.
 Tn fact, we believe of all the criticisms advanced, there are none which cannot be entirely changed at the will of the merchants, except pos- sibly the one of a large assortment. and in that present conditions can be improved and this in view of the fact that New Britain may be handicapped to some extent by its geographical situation, with regard to other trade centers, and the class of it's popula- tion.
 We are aware that some merchants think that it is up to the Chamber of Commerce to create feeling In New Britain which will make the people trade at home, but we believe that it is first up to the merchants individually and collectively to try to make it desirable for people to trade here. We are confident that the sem timent can be greatly changed in re- gard to our New Britain stores, and that the Chamber of Commerce, Of which this bureau is a part, Is anxious to work. this condition out with each other for their common good and the Chamber of Commerce and it's mer- chants but the first thing must be CO., operations on the part of the mer- chants with each other for their common good, and then with the Chamber of Commerce for the com mon good of the community"
