DENMARK Cannot
AFFORD WAR, ALL
country Agrees
If She Fights at All Though,
II Will Be With

Germany HAS reason
FOR KEEPING Peace
By CHARLES P. STEWART

United Press Stan Correspondent
LONDON. Jan. 26.-War rumblings
may disturb Sweden at present. but
Denmark pretty certainly is going to
keep out Of this war. She wants to
keep out and both Germany and Eng
land want the same thing. This much
is CLEANED from conversations with Of
floials in Copenhagen and well-in-
formed persons here today II Den
mark fights at all. Il must be with the
Allies. She lost Schleswig- -Holstein
to Germany ffty-two years ago and
has hated the Germans ever since. But
Germany could cross the imaginary
line separating the two countries and
over-run Denmark within short
time. Hence Denmark cannot afford
to fight
On the other hand. Germany is not
anxious to invade Denmark. The
Germans receive considerable guam
titles Of supplies through Denmark's
neutral ports. despite the British
blockade. They realize that England
would blockade these ports If occupied
by Germans. Furthermore, Germany
does not want 10 increase her troubles
by conquering Denmark and making
| It necessary to defend Denmark's long
shore line against possible landings
by the Allies.
England gets large stores OF food
stums from the Danes. II Denmark
entered the war and was occupied by
German troops. this source Of supply
for the British Isles would be cut of.
II Is generally understood that a
/ tacit agreement exists by which Dem
mark divides her foodstuffs between
the Germans and the English. with
out objection by either. In evidence
of this fact, it is cited here that no

ENGlANO's RICH WILL &c
GREATEST LOSERS BY WAR

LONDON, June 16.-Somebody is
going to lose financially by the war,
OF course. but authorities are not
agreed as to whether it will be
everybody or not. The answer most
generally given is the affirmative
that all classes will suffer. Certain
cptimists. however, think perhaps
they are not certain--that the masses
will be better off after, than before
the war. Their hope Is that those
who have hitherto been society para
sites will have to foot the bills.
These theorists argue: THE
PARASITES money did the masses no
good when the parasites had it; it
can do the masses no harm to have
to have it taken away from the
parasites" 1t is further argued
that such situation would imply
an economic REIMBURSEMENT which
must make for better conditions ex-
cept for those who have lived in the
past on the production by the actual
workers.
The view is not held by socialists
alone. A number of men who be-
long to the class which must do the
financial suffering, should the fore
cast be borne out by events, think
the same thing, or, rather, are afraid
tho prediction is an accurate one.
1t looks, as they express it, as IL
"the aristocracy will have to go to
work" II. G.. Selfridge. the Ameri-
cen department store proprietor, for
several years now in business in
London, for example, in effect ex-

agent for the interurban at Lisbon,
who was heated and robbed about

Wilson was struck twice over the

ever to who the robber was.
After the attack Mr. Wilson was
able to secure his shotgun and gave

LONDON. June 1s.--The Russian

cially reported TO have fallen. Is
driving westward toward stanisiau In
an effort 10 sever complete Austrian
communication between Lemberg
and all supporting points along the
line. The Austrian garrison at

This would be serious blow 10 the
central powers. in view of the com
ing harvests, for the Russians to oc-
cupy the farming country of the
Plains.
All dispatches from Holland agree
that Germany Is reinforcing her
western lines in preparation for a
Big allied offensive. The French
semi-official communication on We'd
,nesday. which said the German
front at Verdun is maintaining an
attitude OF expectation in view OF u
menace of events which they feel
sure is becoming more aud more
imminent, is causing general discus
sion. e4
A majority of the civilians believe
the big drive is about to start.
1t is thought that the allied COM
pandcrs will pick the time of the
pressure OF the Russian offensive
which will leave the Germans no
choice but to have their lines smash
