and to this must be added the export
of Danish manufactures which is not
at all an insignificant item. The ex-
port of Danish home products are
further augmented by a large reg
ular re-export of foreign goods.
From olden times the Danish Gus
toms regulations have been framed
with view to the encouragement Of
the transit trade.
Through the large and fully
equipped Free Harbor the merchant
is able to import and export goods
from and to all parts Of the globe,
without being in any way hampered
by duty or other customs regulations.
In his efforts to expand the transit
trade the merchant is extensively sup
ported by the Danish banks, whose
business is conducted on thoroughly
modern lines, and whose trustworthi-
ness is well known and generally rec
ognized. Copenhagen is the largest
bank center in Northern Europe.
'In the year 1913 there arrived in
the harbor of Copenhagen (includ-
ing the Free Harbor) 1901 steam
ers with total of 4,382,000 registered
tons and 1927 sailing ships with q
total of $4,000 tons.
''The harbor is supplied with al
appliances. A special quay is the
landing place for the traffic with
! America.
From the foregoing facts I am Of
! the belief that American merchant;
should fully investigate the question
of locating agents or representative
at Copenhagen. No disagreeable gov
ernmental restrictions are in force
and foreign merchants are welcomd.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Copenhagen, June 27.-Denmark is

sibiities for American trade with

Edward D. Winslow, the American
consul general here.
ut is a very significant fact" he
said to the Associated Press CORE

Goods can be trans-shipped from
here to all ports of the world, as
cheaply and as expeditiously as from

"There are no hindrances to the es-

Grated in the Free Port, in which
stock can be carried. An authorized
agent is recommended to handle the
American trade.
| Denmark has in its geographical
position and in its land formation
unique qualifications for the develop
ment of important export and transit
trades. Owing to climatic conditions
Denmark must import from countries
of milder climates rice, coffee, tobac-
co and colonial goods in general, also
cotton, jute and other materials for
its textile manufactures, and from
countries nearer home wool, fax and
hemp. The country possesses no for
ests, nor does it produce either coal,
iron or other minerals; it is, there

EXPO TATION OF SUPPLIES
AFFECTS MEXICAN ARMY

San Antonio, Tex, June 27.-The
embargo on expectation of supplies
into Mexico from the United States
already has affected the Mexican
army, according to news here. 1t
become known today that the reason
that the Mexican force recently left
Nuevo Laredo was because they were
unable to obtain forage for their
horses from this side of the border.
The situation oppose Naco, Ariz.,
where / 500 Mexican troops are being
held on trains, aroused wide specu-
lation here. General Funston has an
nounced that American officers were
sure they had fathomed the design
of this Mexican troop movement and
reinforcements were sent to the
American force at Naco and entrench-
ments have been thrown up there. The
stress placed on the fact, however,
that the Mexican troops were not al
lowed to leave the cars on which they
were loaded is taken by some officers
here to indicaet a passible move
against some other portion of the
West Mexican border.

how the child could kill herself and

a bare possibility that she may have
fired the gun by tripping the trigger
with her toes, but the shot, which
pierced her heart, went as true as an
