FRAUDS IN SHIP CARGoEs

C0PENHAGEN. Jan. 1.-THE Danish
Government today issued new and strin-
gent measures to prevent trading be-
tween neutral countries and belligerents
through Denmark This action is taken,
u Is believed, to help Britain prevent
the Importation of contraband articles
INTO Germany 1t has been suggested in
some quarters that INSCRIPTIONS masters
o. neutral merchant ships, from America
and other countries, in order to evade
summation of their cargoes tY British
cruisers, have been carrying double sets
Of consignment papers.
fhe Danish Government announces that
u Danish steamship owners, without ex-
eeptlon' must sign declarations that the
eaptains of their ships are not carrying
more than one set of papers. This ac-
uen gives assurance to the British Gov
sfhment that all papers examined by the
saush naval officers are the original and
emily bills of consignment.

Every Indication today was that re-

Another prospect was that Germany

tons to the Allies.
High officials today intimated that the
situation was now more fraught with
Diplomatic quirks than ever. Many eX-

guarantees be given by the neutral coun-
tries that American foodstuffs, copper,
rubber, etc, shall not be re-eXported to
the Allies enemies as a condition upon

CONTESTANTS WILL
RECEIVE PAY FOR
ALL SUBSCRIPTIONS
Evening Ledger and Public
Ledger Contest Offers Re-
muneration to Those Who
Are Not Victorious.

One OF the most important features OF
the subscription contest now being run by
the EVENING LEDGER and PUBLIC LEDGER
to pick out so persons who will be given
free trip to the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition at San Francisco is the fact that
all bona fide subscriptions turned in by
those who do not get into the lucky 80

In other words, even II you are not
one of the so winners, your time will not
have been wasted, for the contest editor"
will see that you get a check covering
the regular newsdealer's commission on
each subscription This will mean tidy
sum of money that will go far toward
providing the expense of the summer va
cation.
Contestants are still entering for the
big trip, the finest trip ever offered by a
newspaper for the comparatively small
amount of work required. All expenses
of the so winners to San Francisco and
to San Diego, where twin exposition
is to be held, will be paid by the news
papers.
''ven such details as looking after train
and hotel accommodations will be attended
to by representatives of the EVENING
LEDGER and PUBLIC LEDGER. The trav-

ing in subscriptions as soon as they get

trants the contest editor points out
that nothing can be gained by holding

in at once. The contest may be entered
by filling out the coupon in the adver-
tisement and sending it to the Contest
