TAKEN BY DENMARK
Little Kingdom Counts 100000 Inhab-
itants, an Increase of 10000 Over
Figures of Five Years Ago.

Very few European countries have
been in a position to proceed, since
August 1, 1914, with their normal quin-
quennial census. Denmark is one Of
the exceptions. On February 1, 1915,
the little kingdom counted 100000
inhabitants, i. e., an increase of 10000
souls I'VE the ensus of 1911.
The distribution ratio is 70 inhabit-
ants to the square Kilometer. The
Copenhagen Fredericksburg county con-
tains 605,O00 inhabitants i. e., more
than one-f1fth of the total population.
The "a other cities number 100000 peo-
pie, Rustic population, 1,711,OO0.
, The three principal cities, besides
Copenhagen, are: Aarhus, $4,000;
.Odepse, $4,000, and AaIborg, $4,000.
The present war increased the import
,ance of the seaport town Of Esbjerg
$4,000 inhabitants), which hardly ex-
listed so years ago.

southern Republics to be Of Little Aid.

Rio De Janerio, Sept.-Despite re-
cent indications from the principal
South American republics that n or
more of them might be expected to
enter the war actively on the side of
the Allies, the belief is gaining ground
that there is no likelihood of either
Argentine or Brazil entering the con-
1ict. For local patrol work their
navies may be expected to prove of
some use and aid to the United States
units operating in the South Atlantic,
but beyond this they will prove to be
more of a drag than an actual aid. The
sentiment of the two countries is even
ly divided between the Allies and Ger
man causes. The great numbers of
German nations n actual colonials
within these republics guide public
opinion to a considerable extent. As
to the armies, German sympathies are
openly preached. This is due to the
fact that the officers have been train
ed by Germans.
The food situation is becoming
acute. In Argentine it is actually
dangerous, and embargoes and sus-
pended embargoes, are constantly in
the air. She has to vacillate between
home grown wheat and English coal.
Meat has gone over a hundred per cent
advance yer pre-war prices. In ante
,bellum days bread sold at six cents
the pound, but now sells at twelve
cents the pound and constantly rising.
Other prices for the barest necessities
are in direct proportion.

The HWhy" of the swasqer Stick.

The "Why" of the Swagqer Stick.
These cute little "SVagger sticksS
that officers in uniform are carrying ON
the street are the reverse of military
in their appearance, says the Boston
Transcript. Odd little affairs, some
times not more than a foot and a nalf
long and more suggestive of efemi-
macy than of masculine sUagger. The
swagger stick. as nearly as its origin
can be traced, came from England,
where, in days of piping peace, the
soldiers very tight dress uniform
made it almost impossible for him to
dispose of his hands when walking
about off duty, and it apparently be.
came necessary for him to have some
thing to carry andttw1rL In England
the private soldier carries a swagger
stick as wen as the officer. They are
Incongruo1s with khaki But put a
tight, red tunic D man and a gay
little pill-box on the side of his head
and the stick becomes Logical enough
However, swagger' sticks are not CIR
ried in the trenches.

LETTER SENT TO WRONG NAN
One OF Least Familiar OF GIadQton0,
! StoFaes L. Recalled BY Death o.
Irish Lord.

The death OF Lord Clonbrock recalls
one Of the best and perhaps n OF
the least familiar OF Gladstone stories,
says the New York Herald. The late
peer was a remarkably venerable per-
sen and much more sympathetic to.the
tenants cause than most Irish tories.
When the agrarian question Yves at Its
fercest, he made q pacific and 'moder-
ate speech In Ireland partly approving
Gladstone's land bill. Gladstone saw.
the speech and, always eager toegatn
a recruit, wrote a civil letter, begin
ming my Dean Lord" expressing his
qualification at this uRlooked-for sup
port and begging his correspondent to
waive the ceremony of an introduction
and to dine with him in Downing
street to discuss. some knotty point in
the bill
He handed the letter, as vas his
custom, to a private secretary to d.
rect and post. The private secretary
misdirected tito Lord Clon-, an alb
sentee landlord and an Irish Tory Of
the hottest type, who was sober only
at unprecedented intervals.
The peer came to dine in due course.
As soon as the gWUmen had left the
table the G.. O. NJ. drew up his chair
and opened the subject, in the most
iearnest tones.
ST was glad to see that your lord
ship took a more sympathetic view Of
the subject than the bulk of your Or
der. You have unequaled knowledge
of the Irish tenant farmers. Would
you favor me with your opinion OF
them and of the condition of Ireland
igenerally?"

ing. The men are right behind the

Several extremely funny things
have happened since we landed. Bill
Smith has had his head shaved, and
also wears a misplaced eyebrow.
From behind, his head resembles .
billiard ball. Private Neal was sent
to every officer on the post, yester-
day, trying to locate the key to the
parade grounds and a bucket of
Reveille. He took the joke well, and
his education has begun. Several
thought when we crossed the bay
that they were on the ocean, and
when on the beach, n man actually
gazed toward the horizon in hopes
of seeing smoke rise from the battle
fields of Europe. These are camp
jokes, except Bills head. The result
of that will possibly be that so per
cent of the company will follow suit.
He says it is a fine feeling.
Most Of the company work is fall
ing to Lieutenant Griffith, as Capt.
Laid is acting major and I have been
detailed as assistant quartermaster.
I am very well pleased with the tenn
porary arrangement as, having to dis
tribute lumber over the camp, my
position requires a nice bay saddle

splendid shape, and they make a cred

1t is next to impossible to get fresh

considering sending two men

ceive donations that the good people

the vast majority of the sane and

H~0LLOWEELsS RECORD of
SERVICE IN BREVARD.
(BreVard News

IN severing his connections with the
News. of which he has been editor for
nearly two years, Mr.. HolloweH can
certainly have that deepest OF all sat
isfactfons-the consciousness Of work
well done. The success he has attain
ed has been the result OF native ability
united with hard work and faithful
attention to business. No detail of
the business was too small for him to
look after, while in the larger field of
public affairs his mind was always on
the alert for what he deemed the best
for the people Of town and county.
There may have been those who differ
ed with him in his opinions, but there
were none who failed to respect him
for having convictions or-for having
the courage to express them.
Those who know MI. Hollowell best
will regret much his departure from
the community. His presence will be
missed by his friends, who were at
tracted to him by his kindness and
courtesy, and by his church. where
he has done valuable services. The
News joins heartily in the good wishes
extended to him for success trans
ferred to his new field of labors.
MrIHollowell arrived in Henderson
Friday and will be here for a few
days before taking a~~vacation at his
home in Eastern Carolina. After TAX
ing a vacation he will return to Hen
Jacksonville and will be associated with
Mr.. Darlington in the printing and
publishing business as they were two
years ago before Mr.. Hollowell went
to Brevard.
