The government felt bound to submit to the desire of a great state; the government regretted that the col ors had to be lowered, but when a hurricane was blowing one had to run before it. He concluded by warning the house that responsibility for fore ing elections and the consequences q postponement might involve would fall upon the rigsdag. It would be a seri- ous matter, Foreign Minister de Scha- vinus declared if the sale was post poned and he emphasized that with re- gard to foreign affairs the rigsdag as at present constituted was fully com petent to make a decision.

WEST INDIES
 MATTER BEFORE RIcSDAG
Radical and SooiaIistio Parties Favor
 the Sale.

the Sale.
 Copenhagen, via London, 10.36 ?. n. The first reading of the bill prOvid- ing for the sale of the Danish West Tn dies to the United States was talk up in the FOlkething, the lower house of the Rigsdag, today and will be con tinued tomorrow. It is believed that the Folkething will adopt the measure owing to the fact that the radical and sOciaIistic parties, which have Q ma jOrity-, favor the sale.
 On the other hand the Landsthing, or upper house, is thought to be Op posed to the measure. the left party having joined the conservatives, who tried to postpone consideration of the matter. The discussion today there was much exciting in the house and some women among the spectators shouted we will not sell"
 Several of the ministers took part in the debate and the statement was made in behalf of the government that neither domestic nor economic con- alterations, but the international sit uatiOn which had brought the question to a head and that if the sale was re- jected the government would dissolve the rigsdaG and appeal to the country.
 The finance minister. Edward Bran deis. intimated that the government had no alternative but to accede to the desire of the United States.
 The foreign minister, Erie de Schan- mus, in opening the debate, recOn- mended ratification of the sale He denied that the government W2s forced to sell and added that the government had not favored the sale of the isl- ands because of the favorable pur- chase price, but because retention of the islands might possibly involve Denmark in international complica- tions- It was for the rigsdag now to make final decision.
 Christ m leader of the left party, was unable to believe, as rumored that Denmark was forced to sell or that there was any international danger, as such belief would be imperiIous to the United States.
 Proposal to sell the islands, he de- cIared, was not only a surprise but had come as a coup de main and in the opinion of his party nothing should be decided during the war or even af- ter the elections.
 The leaders of the radical and so- cialist parties said that their parties favored the sale, but the socialist lead CT advocated the taking of 8 plebiscite of the people of the islands if that were possible.
 The conservative leader stronly op- posed the sale, declaring that a ma jority of his party was against 1t. The ternational considerations had precipi- tated the matter, the decision of the rigsdad would follow, perhaps in it's rejection. Tn 1914 the government had received an offer of a purchase for the islands but declined to sell Those who opposed the sale, he continued, had aq seyes task zbecauses the govern

 There has been much talk of late, 9 the ambassador said, about the in crease of the Japanese in the United States and elsewhere and this is par ticularIy so with reference to Cali fOrnia.

AUTO CRASH NEAR WESTERLY
Big Truck and New York Touring Car Came Together Curve Near Pleasant View-Nine Year Old Cornetst- Eks Picnic at Brightman's Pond-Peasant View Chapel to be Dedicated Sunday.

At the recent meeting of the Rhode Island State Firemen's League, held in Westerly, it was urged that the an nuaI muster of the state league ought not to be omitted in 1916, simply be- cause the New England States Vet eral F'ireman's League was to be held in Providence, in connection with the big convention of fire chiefs, Aug. 31. After considerable debate the matter was referred to a committee composed of John H. Sullivan, John Towers and Peter Murney, the committee to con fer with the management of the Wash ington County Agricultural society, with the view of holding the muster at the Kingston fair. This committee made tacit agreement with the fair managers, subject to endorsement by the state league. A special meeting of the league was held in Providence, on Wednesday night, to take definite ac- tion in regard to a muster for the present year. It was voted to hold the muster on Friday, Sept. IS, at the Kingston fair.
 The Peace Dale fire department ex- tended the invitation for the muster and it was announced that the agri- cultural society had renewed it's offer of 1915, and award prizes amounting Ot S325. In addition the league will give a trophy of American flags and standards for the best engine play and fastest hose reel run. A proposition to make the muster at Kingston an annual event by a five years con- tract, was discussed, but no action was taken.
