Germany and Denmark.

Germany Is an expert at picking
auarrels when there is anything to be
gained in the fight that follows. Dur
ing the past fifty years and more the
power centered at Berlin has pursued
a policy of hitting wherever a weak
spot appeared, to the end of accretions
of territory. In 1864 Prussia took adj
Vantage of Z domestic difficulty in Den
mark regarding Schleswig- Holstein and
conducted a short war against King
Christian, who was in no position to
maintain himself against his powerful
neiglbor. Schleswig- II olstein became
Prussia's property and Bismarck thus
gained for his royal and soon 10 be i'm
perial master an outlet TO the North sea.
This was the first definite step toward
the formation of the German empire
through conquest. The war with Aus
tria soon followed based on fiimsy
pretext, and more territory became sub
ject 70 Frussian dominion. Then came
the war with France in 1870, started on
the issue raised by Bismarck's forged
telegram, and Alsace-Lorraine became
German property and the empire was
created.
Denmask's position has ever since the
war of 1864 been preearious. She has
existed almost by Prussian sufferance.
Withheld by treaties for years from
brutaily annexing the little Kingdom,
Germany has never neglected chances
TO demonstrate the possession of the
power Of absorption. When the great
war broke in 1914 Denmark found her
self in 4 dangerous plight. The fate of
Belgium showed clearly what would
happen to her and to Holland as well if
the slightest excuse were given to Ger

After-the-War Trade.

This is a current news story:
"The dcvoting of time and energy now

Department of Commerce in letter

California, who had asked the S cretary
