pedestrian traffic lead you into shops
and business establishments of every
description. In the residence portion,
| one rings a large bell before being ad-
mitted into one Of these courts, and
having gained admission, there is a
regular settlement or village within
the gates. In the case of residence
quarters, which might be described as
a substitute for our apartments in
American cities, We found entrances
from off these courts into stairways.
The courts vary in dimensions, but the
best of these are perhaps two hundred
feet wide in the middle, affording suf-
hricnt openings for people to congre-
gate or children to play in warm yea
Their. The result of these many courts
and the great squares that have been
mentioned above, relieves the feeling
OF congestion o~ccasioned by the mar
row streets; and on the whole, | am
inclined to think that there is more
breathing space in these European
crn America. The shops are small and
the department store idea does not
seem to have gained any Particular
Roadway in the Scandinavian coun-
tries.
The street car system of Copenhagen
is well perfected, and even foreigners
are able to find their way about with
little difficulty. Your instructor will
tell you when leaving on a trip about
the city the number of the route you
are TO take, and the cars are plainly
marked with the numerals, in much the
same way as | have seen them in Ph.la-
delphia and some of our American
western cities. The street car fare
equals about three cents, and you can
ride in an omnibus for about the same
amount. Although the conveyances
are much smaller than in American
cities, there is not the congestion that
one finds in a place like Boston, which
is about the same size as Copenhagen.
This is n of the results of "decen-
tralization;" a problem Denmark has
tried to meet. Another factor in cheap
transportation are the taxicabs, which
are most generally patronized by
strangers, for the reason hat a kroner,
equal to about twenty-five cents, will
usually pay the chauffeur, no matter
how many people you have in your
party. Cheap taxicab service is the
delight of travellers on the continent,
since your responsibility as to the
point you wish to go, ceases when you
give your instructions to the driver
| have also been very much impressed
by the number of bicycles in common
use in Copenhagen. They seem to be
pressed into service for every practi-
cal use. The results, therefore, of the
various transportation facilities indi-
Gated above have obviated the need Of
subways or elevated lines, which are
so essential to American cities of more
than a half million people. And the
condition is certainly more congenial
to travellers than that which we Ameri-
cans undergo in our mad rush to get
somewhere in our own large cities.

ADVERTISING RAISED BRITISH
ARMY

In the March American Magazine is
an account of Hedley Francis LIE Bias
who was employed by the British Gov
eminent to raise an army by advertis-
ing. He did it-at 81 per cent Of the
former cost of getting recruits. He
also conducted the advertising can
paign by which a $4,000, 0O0, 900 loan
was placed.
Mr.. LIE Bas made his ads for soldiers
interesting, just as he would have done
for purchasers Of tea, soap or tobacco.
He formed a committee of the leading
ad writer's in the country and their
posters have filled the gaps on the
fighting line for over a year. When
the loan of 5 5000, 900, 900 was required
by the government Mr.. LIE Bias was
once more pressed into service and the
three billion was oversubscribed at the
end of two weeks.
Through these revolutionary sue.
cesses of Mr.. LIE Bias the British Gov.
eminent has had good to endorse
the business of advertising.
"Hedley Francis LIE Bias is a genial
gentleman of about fifty-five, an old
army man himself, and the son of Cap.
tain LIE Bas of Jersey. He is the foun'
der and head of the Caxton Publishing
Company. He is also a director of
George Newnes, Ltd. and C. Arthu.
Pearson, Ltd, two of the largest maya.
zine publishers in Great Britain.
Last, but by no can least, Mr.. lie
Bias is the honored possessor of a
medal awarded him by the Royal HUI
name Society for saving the lives OF
two women two years ago."

Copenhagen, Denmark.
1t was a nights ride from Stockholm
to Malmo, on the southern peninsula
of Sweden, and then an hour and a
half by water to Copenhagen. There
were quite as many evidences of the
war between these two points as we
had seen while in the wal zone. Den
mark is making as little show as pos
sible, but as a matter of fact she is
armed to the teeth. AS we neared her
coast, cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers
and other ships of war were always in
sight. The harbor of Copenhagen is
thoroughly mined, and our little craft
picked it's way very carefully between
the sign posts" which marked the
passage Of safety. By referring to the
map, it will be found that Denmark is
next to Germany and in close proxim-
ity to Russia, the British Isles, and
continental Europe.
Denmark is officially and outwardly
the most neutral of nations, but have
met a number of Americans who evil
IDENTIFY are here for a purpose, and
am convinced that they are not string
ing me in the confidential informa-
ton" | have received from them to the
| effect that Copenhagen is the clearing
house for war supplies to Germany and
the other powers. 1t does not mean
that Denmark is in favor of the cause
of the countries that are buying goods
through her; but the Danes are re-
markedly good merchants, and though
l am not at all sure as to the details,
yet it seems reasonably certain that
the mililonaires will increase here i n
about the same proportion as in the
United States, as a result of the war.
Copenhagen has nearly seven hun
dred thousand people, and as there
are less than three million people in
the country, its population would
seem to be out of proportion. But it
is the outlet for southern Sweden.
which fact helps to adjust the seem
ing desperation. One is naturally i'm
pressed by the difference between this
and all other cities. All over the city
there are great squares, and triangles,
through which car lines diverge from
every point. In the centre of these
squares is usually some statute, or
possibly a public building. In the par
ticular square in which our headquar-
tiers have been maintained sits the
great town hall of Copenhagen. 1t is
a model public building, roomy and
elegant. and it cost but a half million
dollars. It will compare favorably
with the municipal or public buildings
of the United States that have cost
many times as much. The streets are
narrow and at irregular intervals there
are openings about the size of an Amer.
lean alley. These are crowded and
lead into large courts. which are open
in the middle, but the passage way ex-
tends through to the other streets. In

y Washington, Dec. 6.-President Will
son today began study Of cost-of-
living reports submitted by government
departments and from them is expected
to decide what steps to recommend to
congress. United States Attorney An
derson, Of Boston, in charge of the ma
tional-wide inquiry, arrived here today
and after a conference with judiciary
officials conferred with federal trade
commission members.
The plan suggested by Mr.. Anderson
of summoning giand jury in New
York or Chicago, or both, to investigate
the question thoroughly is believed to
be generally favored in administration
circles.
Attorney General Gregory has re-
ported to the president the result Of
preliminary investigations by depart
ment OF justice agents. Mr.. Anderson
will consult with representatives of the
interstate commerce commission in ad-
oition to other government officials and
probably will see the president per-
sonally.
Has Not Approved Bills.
Altho several bills to meet the high
cost of living situation have been laid
before the president, he has given his
approval to none Of them and will con-
tinue to withhold comment until he IS
prepared to present his views in the
form Of a recommendation for legisla-
ton. He has not yet decided when he
will go before congress.
The visit Of Mr.. Anderson to the
trade commission was said to be pri-
marily for the purpose Of devising an
effective method OF conducting the In
vestigation, which may take in fuel and
clothing as well as food.
Department of justice officials are
understood tohave under consideration
as part Of the investtgstion-an inquiry
into the methods adopted by various
boards of trade, produce and other as
sociatfons, where the market value Of
foodstuffs is largely determined. 1t IS
said that Mr. Anderson probably will
remain in conference with officials here
for several days.
Congress Down to Business.
Congress today turned its attention
to the legislative workSahead of it. IT
both house and senate the presidents
recommendations, particularly railroad
legislation, We're being scrutiniZed.
A bill embodying the presidents sug-
gestions for railroad legislation had
been prepared by Chairman Adamson,
of the house commerce committee, for
submission as soon as the attorney
general passes on its constitutionality,
and Chairman Newlands, of the senate
committee, has promised to take up the
proposed legislation at committee
meeting Friday
Chairman Henry, Of the house rules
committee, has an engagement to con-
fer with the president tonight in re-
gard to rules to expedite legislation.
