DENMARK.

Hundreds of Danes are fighting with
the British troops in Gallipoli. accord
ing to Capt. Percy Hansen, Briton OF
Danish parentage, who has just re-
ceived the Victoria Cross for his
bravery and enterprise under fire.
These Danes emigrated to Australia
and New Zealand.
The Danish steamer United States
was brought into the Clyde by Brit
ish warship, being diverted from her
route while on the way from Copenha-
gen to New York. A large number of
Germans and Austrians, with large
sums of money in their possession.
were said to be aboard. The mails
from the ship were put ashore.
British capital gossips are Selling
on the rumors that a Danish princess
is to become the future queen of Eng
land. They make juicy tidbit for the
gossips, for discussions of this kind
are by the nature of events materially
circumscribed. With Great Britain at
war, many of the princesses that might
have been eligible as wives for Albert,
prince of Wales, have become ineligi-
BILE. 1t would never do for the future
king to wed an enemy of his country.
1t is reported on good authority that
Queen Mary and King George have
about decided on Princess Marguerite
of Denmark as daughter-inlaw. The
princess is a niece OF Dowager Queen
Alexandra.
A course of lectures on farming was
given at Agersted, and among the at
tendants were two farmers, Hans Mel

The so-called Ratin society has fin
ished its antirat war in Aalborg, hav-
ing fulfilled its contract to get rid of
the rats in 50 per cent of the houses.
The plan includes arrangements for
preventing the rats from multiplying
where they have been exterminated.
The banks of Copenhagen had a
combined capital of $125, 100000 at the
beginning of this century. Now the
amount is almost $37O,0O0. 900. In other
words, it is three times as large as it
was Is years ago. This growth is
highly respectable even from an Amer
lean point of view.
A stray COW and her calf stayed in
the neighborhood of Borup during the
latter part of the summer. Several at
tempts to capture them were made,
but all in vain, for the animals would
run as fast as wild deer. The people
of the place have kept an eye on them
and If they don't permit themselves to
be caught when the snow gets deep
they must be shot like ordinary game.

the officers of the International Ath-
letic federation, is reported TO ia
vor such a meeting of American and

reliable and irresponsible.

magic and sorcery. and not even the
introduction of Christianity has
wholly succeeded in stamping out su.
