Will Belgium Be Reneated2

EUROPEAN dispatches announce Germanys
IL determination to seize Denmark, over
run 1t and possibly swallow it up in order to
counter the allies reported move in estab-
fishing naval base on the Norwegian coast.
This story comes straight from Copenhagen,
recting the alarm of the Danes and an ap-
peal from them to the entente to prevent their
sacrifice to German ruthlessness
The truth is, Norway has granted no con-
cessions whatever TO the allies; 40 naval base
is about tn be occupied by them on Norwe-
gian soil, and no occasion exists for German
aggression against Denmark Both Norway
and Denmark have maintained their neu-
trality from the beginning of the war. not
Withstanding the outrages which Germany
has perpetrated against these small nations
But 1T is evident that Germany anticipates a
concerted naval drive once the American
battle fleet takes its station in European
waters. and In order to fortify itself against
this, it is seeking some pretext upon which
Denmark may be Belgianized Once that
country is invaded by Germany, the Danes
know that the Germans would only quit it
at the point OF the sword.
For half a century Germany has had its
greedy eyes fixed upon Denmark, Belgium
and Holland. 1t has coveted an opportunity
to wipe these small states from the map
absorbing them as Bavaria. Alsace and Lor-
raine were absorbed. but no peaceable means
has ever offered Itself for the execution OF
German designs upon its neighbours No
sooner was war declared against France, how
ever. than belgium was overrun and all of
1t occupied except strip of territory in
FLANDERS. Holland has saved itself by al
lowing Germany to use It as a channel
through which neutral markets beyond were
reached. Denmark was left alone for time
out there seems no doubt that It was marked
for slaughter when military necessity
should arise.
whether or not Germany now concludes
that that necessity exists probably will be
determined within a short time. Nor will
it matter whether or not Norway reu.ins
neutral. Belgium was neutral, but that did
not save it, and Norway's neutrality will not
save Denmark If Germany feels that the time
has arrived for another conquest.

that when the deer shooting easo
opens in November ii will be found
that deer are unusually numerous,
due largely to the fact that during
the last deer shooting seaso COM
paratively few of these animals were
killed because weather conditions
during the season were against the
hunters and in favor of the deer.
