follows upon the story recently pub
Iished of a proposed sale Of the West

marks agreement to sell the Danish
West Indies to the United States may
not inaptly be described as stretching
a hand Of friendship to this country.
1t Is an act the more appreciated be-
cause OF knowledge that 1t Is against
the known desires Of very great Eu-
ropean power-desires which In the
past were able to thwart such an ar
rangement. This is by no means the
first time that Denmark has stretched
a hand of friendship to the United
States. Harry Cramer OF Chicago
sends the Herald clipping from Har.
per's Weekly OF May rs. 1854. which
tells how Denmark, at that time en-
gagged in the war over Schleswig-Ho
stein with Prussia and Austria, gave
a most striking sign OF friendly regard.
Though then controlling the North sea
against Prussia, Denmark granted the
request of the United States that the
Bremen and Hamburg steamers, en-.
envy merchant vessels plying to New
York, pass free of seizure by her cruis-
ers. The article In Harper's Weekly
rightly characterizes this as a most
unusual act of amity,' and says 1T is
done by Denmark, as its government
expressly states from her friendly feel
ing for this country Nor is it likely
to be soon forgotten

ROME, Dec. 11.-Italy no less than
her allies. is preparing to make 1917
a year Of its most vigorous prosecution
of the war
Two events today so indicated the
,ev determination Of the nation.
One was the calling to the colors or
the class of 1898, one year in advance
of the time at which men of that age
ordinarily would be called upon for
military service.
The other was the vote Of confidence
accorded the present government by
parliament. The session was seeret.
THO vote was 376 to As. Details of the
division on this vote were not made
public, but it is supposed those who
opposed the governments plans were
