COST OF LIVING
 HIGH IN DENMARK

Copenhagen Denmark, October 20. Special. )-Prices on all kinds of food have enormously advanced in Denmark. and. for some few articles, they are even high CT than in the beligerent countries. The most necessary articles of food have ad- vanced 100 per cent and others 40 to 50 per cent.
 One of the unusual features of the sit nation is the fact that Denmark. which las been known throughout the world as a pork and butter producing country. has lately begun to import large quantities of pork from America.
 The chances for exports were so en- ticing last winter that the government found it i,ecessary to fix maximum prices on pork. all act which made the farmers so indignant that they appear to have retalated by refusing to rear swine. there being little profit in trade at the gov- er:iment's price The result is that Den mark can now scarcely supply it's own market, and is forced to buy American pork, s
 Steps are also being taken to import meat irorn the Argentine Republic.

SWEDEN AROUSED
 ON ISLAND FORTS
Statement Reassures People as to Russian Activity
 on Aland Islands

Stockholm. October 2O-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-A long, semi official statement has just been published here with view to reassuring public sentiment regarding relations between Russia and Sweden over the question of Russia's extensive Notifications in the Aland Islands. The statement merely announces that Russia informed Sweden fully regarding the nature and object of these defenses before beginning them. Pre- sumably the defenses are not to be main tained after the conclusion of peace.
 The Aland Islands are located at the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia and within artillery range of Stockholm. They have always been source of anxiety to Swe- cen, lest Russia should at any time go back on her agreement with England and France not to fortify rhem A rumor that Russia contemplated such fortifica- tons created great excitement in Swe- den few years ago, and the good off, fees of the British government were sought to induce Russia not to take the step. Presumably Russia did not intend 1t; at any rate, it was not done.
 During the past few months the scare has been raised again. this time by small political section known as the ac- twists. The activists urge the continuance of neutrality by Sweden. but urge that it be accompanied by certain pressure on Russia, to obtain as price of neutrality, certain concessions, particularly regard ing the Aland Islands The activists were the first to call public attention to the fact that certain military preparations had been begun by Russia on the islands, and they doubtless influenced corre- spondent of a Christiana newspaper to- write an article, recently published, re- vealing the fact that the Russian min ister had thought 1t wise to assure the Swedish foreign minister that any such measures of defense would not be main- tained after the close of the war.
 What the nature of the Russian de- lenses is has not been stated. but they are understood to be merely sufficient to| prevent the invasion of the islands by German warship crews who might use them as a base for operations in neighbor- ing waters.

PERMANENT HOME
 FOR BLIND HOSPITAL

Paris, October 20.-(Special. )-Miss Win nifred Holt of New York has been prom ised the use of large house in the Etoiie quarter for her small war-blind hospital, now temporarily installed in the Hotel de Crillcn on the Place de la Concorde
 The Crillon institution has only few blinded inmates, but sends out teachers on their errand of instruction and con- sclation to r Paris hospitals When the new premises have been properly fitted they will receive a group of 27 blinded officers and men as a beginning. This number. however. is certain to increase greatly and it is hoped that a second building will be furnished.
 According to Miss Holt and her assist ants, who are all Americans, long resi- dent in Paris, the blinded men at first are Inclined to give way to despair. This is especially the case with blinded of- flcers, the blinded young peasant soldiers taking things more resignedly as rule One of the latter has got 80 well over his misfortune that his laugh Is constant ly heard in the ward, and few days ago he said to one of Miss Holt's helpers that this is the only place in Paris where one Is amused.'' The course of teaching is always preceded by visit or two with gifts of flowers and cons0la- tory words. Some of the patients. too. are not vet in state to receive instruc- tons.

At each street corner are narrow openings to allow passage from one country to the other. sentries of each country standing careful guard on either side It is the main street of busy town, and the ordinary town life flows back and forth, while little Dutch street boys talk to the German street boys through the meshes Down this street at the beginning of the war the Dutch population watched for four days and nights the German army marching south ward into Belgium.
 All the villages on the frontier lead a confusedly bisected existence, belt of barb-wire as it were separating their heads from their feet. In these places the work of the Dutch sentries is main ly to search the people who pass, lest they carry in our out illicit merchandise. The German guards are mostly concerned with keeping a lookout for deserters or able e-bodies Belgians who seek to escape rom German rule. At a few points the German side of the barb wire fence is further protected by wires carrying elec- tric current. and searchlights play up and down the line during the night
 In the towns which are bisected by the boundary line. there are two or three contrasts which strike the observer imme- diately. All the soldiers on one side of the line are in one type of uniform while in the other half of the town there are just as many soldiers, but of course in different type of dress. The sentry boxes on one side are red, white and blue, on the other side they are red, white and black.
 Part of the town of earle-Hertog is Belgian, but it is saved from Germa n occupation owing to the fact that it is entirely surrounded by Dutch territory 8 little Belgian island in the middle of Holland. There is no need of sentries here. and there is no wire to mark the middle of the main streets From here to the real frontier one travels over a well-paved roadway which is Dutch. while the ditch at the side is Belgian.
