DENMARK.


Danish farm property has increased
In value as a result of the European
war until farms are now being sold
almost daily at price so per cent
higher than what they would have
brought min to twelve months ago.
The appreciation Of the farm property
is due, Of course, to the unprecedent-
ed profits on agricultural products. In
the matter of horses, the scarcity is
so serious that the government during
the last six months has prohibited the
expectation of them. and the farmers
have been getting on in many In
stances with the small. but vigorous
Iceland horses. when they have been
able to get them.
American phys are coming into such
favor in Denmark that the manager
Of one of the Copenhagen theaters has
announced his intention of devoting
a whole season to American drama,
with the exception of a few English
plays. The popularity of the Ameri-
can plays is attested by a number OF
other theaters, and as for the Ameri-
can moving picture productions, these
are being shown in hundreds OF Dam
ISL amusement houses.
Prices on all kinds of food have adj
vanced enormously in Denmark and,
for some few articles, they are even
higher than in the belligerent coun-
tries. The most necessary articles
Of food have advanced 100 per cent
and others 40 to so per cent. One of
the most unusual features Of the sit
uation is the fact that Denmark, which
has been known throughout the world
as a pork and butter producing coun-
try. has lately begun to import large
quantities of pork from America.
A dispatch from Copenhagen given
out by the Overseas News agency,
says that Lieutenant Commander Lay
ton of the British submarine E-13 has
fed from that city, breaking his par
ole.
Lieutenant Commander Layton was
commanding officer of the E-13, which
grounded on the Danish island OF Sal
tholm in August. The British admiral
ty reported the ELS had been attacked
while helpless by two German torpedo
boats, resulting In the death Of Ia
men. The remaining members Of the
crew were interned in Denmark.
Germany apologized to Denmark for
the attack on the E-13 in Danish wa
ters.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-In a message

William Ridsdale describes the new
weapon with which the members OF

1t is a new pattern dart, not dis
similar in appearance from that in

But IL has a singular virtue of its own.
In its head is fixed a highly inflam-
mable material which Immediately ig-
mites when the dart passes through

The value of such weapon in coun-
tering Zeppelin attacks can as yet

velope Of an airship would cause i,

These darts are to be dropped auto

spread over a considerable area in
their downward flight. The cost OF
them is approximately 81 each.
