Papers From Consul; Shipping
Men Suspect Hunt for Bremen.

ships were on the lookout for the Bre-

WEST INDIES CLASH TO
FORCE DANISH ELECTION
Two Houses Of Rigsdag Unlikely to
Agree on Ratification Of Sale
to the United States.

COPENHAGEN, August IL. via Lon
don.-The Danish landsthing or senate,
on motion of its president. today de-
cided to resolve itself into committee to
consider the bill for ratification of the
cession of the Danish West Indies to
the United States.
There are apparently the best grounds
for the prediction that the folkething.
which today resumes its deliberations
on the bill. will approve the sale. The
landsthing. however. seems to have a
safe majority against the proceeding.
The result. according to the best opinion
dissolved and a general election held
under the new constitution. which.
while its going into effect was to have
been postponed until after the war.
will in the event of need be put into
force Immediately.
Radicals Would Confirm.
The radicals and socialists. who are
in the majority in the lower house. IA
vor confirmation. In the landsthing.
however, the conservative and left op-
position appears certain to prevail.
Much of the opposition to conflrma-
ton of the sale is not based on economic
or broader grounds, but is purely politi-
cal. 1t is due mainly to feeling of re-
sentiment at the attitude of the gov.
ernment, which the objectors accuse of
conducting negotiations with the
United States in secrecy and of deny
ing that such negotiations were under
way until the very moment the an
nouncement was made that a bargain
had been struck.
Favored by Former Premier.
]. C. Christensen, former prime min
lister and leader of the left in the folke-
thing, has declared his belief that the
existing rigsdag is not competent to
decide the West Indies question. In the
event of new elections. however, he
would support confirmation. The for
mer premier was member OF the gov
ernment of 1902 which laid the pro-
posal to sell the islands before the
rigsdag. Then, as now, the upper house
opposed the government proposal and
defeated confirmation.
The new constitution confers the Suf-
frage upon women and domestic Serv-
ants, and also reduces the age of eligi-
bility from twenty-one to twenty for
the first general election. The total
number of voters will therefore be
more than doubled. Hence nobody is
brave enough to attempt to forecast the
probable complexion of the new rigs
dag if one has to be chosen.
May Be Postponed Month.
The final decision on the sale of the
islands to the United States may be
postponed nearly a month if the pro-
posal of radical and socialist members

U. S. Agent Says Established
Corporations Retain Right
to Claim Foreign Aid.
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
TO POSTPONE PROTEST
No Urgent Necessity for Immediate
Action, But Precedent Opposed
Both Here and in Europe.

Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico
City. yesterday advised the State De-
partment that the recent decree of the
Carranza government requiring Ameri-
can and other foreign stockholders In
Mexican corporations to waive their
rights to appeal to their own govern
ments for protection of their interests
applied only to shareholders In new
corporations, and did not. as had been
reported, affect foreigners interested
In established concerns.
Will Oppose Enforcement.
The, department officials see no urg-
ent necessity for immediate protest.
They indicated, however. that the
United States government is by no
means prepared to submit quietly TO
the creation of any such precedent as
is involved in the new decree. An at
tempt to enforce 1t probably VIII pc
met by formidable protests not ohiy
from the United States. but from All
the European powers interested.
1t is known that Carranza paved the
way for the decree by extensive nego-
tiation with nearly all OF the govern
ments of South and Central America.
what were the tangible results has not
developed but 1t is well known that
for many years past public opinion IN
Latin America has inclined strongly
in favor of the old Drago doctrine,
which denies the right of an alien to
appeal to his own government for the
protection of his life or property m
terests against the government OF the
country where his concessions are To-
Gated.
Cropped Out Several Times.
In each one of the several Pan-Amer-
lean congresses held since 1883 this
doctrine cropped out in one form or
another. and in each case It was only
through the energetic opposition Of
the United States representatives that
it was forced into the background. 1t
was pointed out that an attempt py
the American republics to employ sucn
a doctrine as against foreigners prob
abIy would seriously strain the Monroe
doctrine.
1t is possible that the subject may
come before the joint Mexican-Ameri-
can commission now In process OF or
ganization when that body has dis
posed of the preliminary questions con.
cerning the troops on the border and
in Mexico and turns its attention TO
Mexican financial and political anafrs.
Although Carranza authorities prom
ised several days ago to release H A.
Dunn, an American imprisoned for hav-
| ing sold dynamite to Zapata forces, he
