SALE OF DANISH WEST INDIES
Would Help Denmark Pay Her In
demnity to Germany.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Amsterdam says:
Denmark has been forced to pay a
secret indemnity to Germany for
failure to maintain strict neutrality.
The indemnity eXacted is understood
to be as much as S0,000,000 kroner
(about $22,4O0,O00)
The offense occurred last winter
when the Baltic Sea was invaded by
British submarines. To enter the
Baltic from the North Sea it is nee
essary to pass through Danish wa
ters, strongly guaTd by forts.
When the U-hoat raids ceased
Germany waited to see whether Den
mark would protest to England
against the violation Of the neutral
ity OF the Sund. There was no pro-
test. A few weeks later an E-boat
flying the British flag came through
the Kattegatt and appeared before
the forts at the entrance to the
Sund. The E-boat commander asked
permission to pass through. Permis-
sion was given. The E-boat passed
through and headed straight for
Kiel. This E-boat was German u
boat in disguise. Its crew consisted
of sailors who spoke good English,
like the crew Of the Deutschland.
Crew and officers wore English uni
forms. At Kiel they dropped their
disguise. Their passage had fur
nished the German government the
evidence of Denmark's willingness to
allow what was supposed to be an
English E-boat to violate neutrality.
Germany thereupon made her de-
mands.
Denmark then pressed the negotia-
tions with the United States for the
sale of the Danish West indies for
$25, 100000.
Denmark, it Is said, takes a grim
satisfaction in selling these islands
for two reasons-first because the
money is very welcome, and second,
because Germany wanted them very
badly few years ago.
1t is understood that German in
f1uence was used n few years ago to
prevent treaty going through for
the sale of the islands to the United
State when the late Fl. H. Rogers, Of
the Standard Oil Company, was
prominent in the negotiations.

STRONG LEADERS
IN MEXICAN ARMY
Long Era Of Warfare Has Pro-
duCed Several Highly Eff
Gent Generals.
ODREGON and ANGELES BEST

Humane, Capable Leader.

San Antonio, Tex.-Were the Mexi-
can army throughout as capable as
some of its generals the United States
would have no easy task In subduing
Its unruly neighbor.
1t must be remembered that Mexico
has had almost uninterrupted war Of
one kind or another for u period long
er than the American Civil war.
While conscientious American army
officers have been puzzling over maps
and working out problems in military
strategy and tactics, the Mexican gen
erals have been actually leading large
forces In the field and giving and re-
eeiving blows In the same territory
where they now clash with Uncle
Sans Napoleons. This is an enor-
nous advantage.
In addition, the Mexican military
academy at Chapultepec, near Mexico
City, which is similar to our West
Point, has a high rating among lnsti-
buttons of this character. In the Mexi-
can war of 1S46-47 the Chapultepec
cadets put up a desperate resistance
to the American invaders on the
grounds of their school. They were
only overcome after nearly all had
been killed or wounded.
So, while the Mexican forces are
badly equipped and lack ammunition
and food supplies, they will In many
cases be as well led as the Americans

Catch the fly" is the slogan Of st.
Louis. The pesky things that carry
millions of germs at the end Of their
fine fuzzylike toes, or whatever you
call 'em, are banned by the st, Louis
authorities, and a price has been
placed on the heads of the flies just
as a price is placed on the heads Of
stray dogs.
While, practically every city, town
and hamlet boasts Of its dog pound,
st. Louis has taken the initiative and
established fly pound. The fly traps
that are located In various parts of
the city proved the center Of attrac-
ton to the Democratic delegates who
were In the Mound City to attend the
national Democratic convention. and
1t Is dollars to doughnuts, that when
they get back home they are going to
follow the example set by ST. Louis
and set fly traps In their own home
towns. The trap Is a huge imitation
of the ordinary fly traps one often
sees in butcher shops. At the bottom
there Is a conical opening, and under
this opening one places a piece Of suet
or a piece Of meat. The flies swarm
by the thousands around the bait and
fly up through the opening In the
cone. into the trap from which there
Is no escape. The st. Louis traps are
three-story affairs with plenty Of
light and air for the flies that like the

Supplied the Brains.

Supplied the Brains.
Angeles remained with villa when
the latter broke with Carranza. He
contributed largely to many of Villas
victories. Some critics say most of
Villas glory should go to Angeles
that he was the man behind the scenes
and supplied the brains, while villa
inspired the enthusiasm.
He was Villas minister of war when
villa had an organized government
and was proposed several times as
provisional president Of Mexico. In
this position he could have counted on
the confidence and support Of the
United States. But villa feared An.
geles' strength and kept him in sub
ordinate position.
Then Angeles quarreled with villa
over the bloodthirsty and unprincipIed
methods Of the northern bandit gener-
al and left him. He did not go over
to the constitutionalists, however, but
sought refuge In the United States.
On March % last he expressed the
opinion at Ell Paso that there would be
war between the United States and
Mexico within 30 days If American
troops remained for that period on
