|ST0RM Of INDIGNATION
| AROUSED N DENMARK
Charge That United States Used CO.
erctvc Measures Believed to Be
Merely q Clumsy Evasion.

Copenhagen, Aug. 12.-Conserva-
tive and intellectual circles in Den
mark are eagerly discussing the ques-
ton whether the United States gov
eminent, in negotiating FOR the Dam
ish West Indies has really seen fit to
use coercive measures or whether the
present Danish government told a
deliberate lie when II sold the islands.
IT Is felt here as a great humiliation
by the intelligent Danish people that
the Danish government should have
been forced by America not only to
negotiate for the sale of the islands
behind the back of the nation. al
though the definite promise had been
given at an earlier date that no new
negotiations shousA be begun without
full publicity. but also to issue off,
cial denials of negotiations at time
when these were practically complete.
The general opinion in Denmark Is
strongly inclined to believe that the
statement made Ia clumsy attempt to
save the government from being swept
to its doom by the strong wave OF
popular indignation against both .he
Cabinet and the spineless lower house
OF the Rigsdag.
Outside of a circle of politicians.
Dound mana ana foot, the publlC does
not think that threats have been
made by Secretary Lansing. and there
is demand that the Cabinet should
come forward with documentary
proofs of what Is generally known
and consid cred as an insulting accu-
satlon against a friendly foreign gov
eminent.
1t also should be understood that
while many patriotic man have al
ways opposed the sale on patriotic
and sentimental grounds. even these
men realize in the present tircum-
stances, and especially in view OF the
fact that Denmark would be unable to
defend the islands, 1t might no wiser
to sell them to the United States.
What Is resented is merely the un-
derhand methods used by the Danish
government. which for many weeks
has deliberately deceived the nation
and established censorship which Is
absolutely unconstitutional and has
lowered the reputation Of the country
In the eyes OF the world BY submit
ting. II the official explanation is cor
rect. to dictation on the part of 4
