Cedar Falls, Aug. 16.-That condi-
tons are better in Denmark right now
than before the gigantic European con-
fict started, is the opinion expressed
by Jack Hansen, a former well known
Cedar Falls business man, just back
from fve-year stay in his native
Denmark.
Denmark, Hansen AYERS. Many people
who were pennileSs at the wars open
ing are now millionaires, hessays. At
the beginning of the war the people OF
Denmark were much alarmed accord
ing to Hansen, and those having gold
or silver would not exchange 1t for pa
per money for fear the war would rem
der the currency worthless. But their
fears gradually subsidized and they be-
gan to profit from the war. German
agents went into Denmark and bought
great quantities of foodstuffs and other
articles, paving enormous, prices for
them. But Denmark's fear passed
slowly. A great number of fortifica-
tons We're built, millions of crowns
being thus expended during the first
year OF the war. However, all the ma
tive sons of military age are in the
army and kept in good training for any
emergency that might arise.
Wars Effect on Ocean Travel.
There are only a few German ships
interned in Danish harbors compared
to the number in New York harbor, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hansen.
The war time conditions are most
noticeable on the sea, Hansen says. The
journey across the Atlantic takes much
longer now. Mr. Hansen went to Den
mark in the now historic Lusitania five
years ago. the trip taking only FIVE
days; on his return trip on the Oscar
land he was more than two weeks on
the water, the trip being made in a
most roundabout way. Leaving the
Danish coast the Oscarland steamed TO
a. point a mile off the English coast,
where II stopRed until all its mail was
taken Ashore While here the Oscar
land encountered fleet ofsEritish war
ships preparing for al sdash out TO sea.
There were many Submarines ,i16vering
about off thes Eng tsh coast, Hansen,
declared, and the Hsearland also passed
"a German U-hoat In mid ocean, but
was nnm0lested when the ships Off
GERS shoisted the Danish Nag.
Mr.. Hansen has decided ITO remain
in America and expects to locate in
business again in Cedar Falls. 81
