DANISH FIRMS LOSE $4,000 BY
ACTION BRITISH PRIZE COURT
n Condemning American Canned
Goods-Amerieans Harder Hit.


Berlin. Sept. 21 CBy wireless to
Tuckerton, n. J.).-The following des-
patch from Copenhagen was given out
by the Overseas News agency today
'"The Norwegian consul-generaI in
Copenhagen, c. NJ. Pay, declares that
the decision of the British prize court
condemning American canned goods
means more than 10000 kroner
($270,000) loss to Danish firms, while
American firms were much harder hit.
The decision of the court was entirely
unjustifiable in the opinion of the con-
sul-general. England. he declares, fails
to understand political and economic
conditions in neutral countries as a
result of the war and-draws the con-
clusion that part of the goods import
ed were destined for Germany from
the fact that Denmark is now imports
ing more goods than in peace times,
but entirely overlooks the fact that
before the war immense shipments
from Hamburg were received at Cop
enhagen.''
