You just imagine the feelings of
those who are forced to fight under
Prussian cclors, for instance, against
France, country with which Den
mark never was at war. Words can
hardly express how these men suffer
IN their own peculiar quiet way.
Those who read the reports of the
Prussian Landtag will remember how
the Danish representatives, Mis- MIS-
sen, Klopperborg, Skrumsager, are
complaining about the intolerable vex-
ations of the Prussian authorities.
just as H. P. Hansen is always doing
in such a splendid way in the Reichs-
tag.
The Germans even went so far as to
prohibit the Danes in Schleswie from
having meetings in the same localities
where the Germans had just had their
meetings, giving as an excuse that the
buildings were suddenly threatening to
fall in.
The local authorities took suddenly
such great interest in the welfare
OF the Danes. And after this the
Danes had to travel around and held

n TUCH has been written of the
lVa sufferings of Alsace- Lorraine
under German rule, but little
attention has been paid to the similar
miseries Of the Danes living in the

troll over half dozen of the small ma

stein is lesson to the whole world in
her methods.
King Frederick VII of Denmark, the
last Wing of the House Of Oldenburg,
died in 1868 and left TO heirs. This
circumstance made it possible for
Prussia and Austria to attack little
Denmark in roundabout way, so Pc
culiar to German diplomacy, pretending
that King Christian was not the lawful
heir to the Danish throne.
The Duke of Augustenburg was put
up by Prussia to make pretensions to
the Danish crown. Even Prince Bis
marck, Prussias illusirious Chancellor,
himself declared afterward that he had
never even for q moment believed in the
pretentions of this Duke of Augusten-
burg, whereas, on the news of the
Danish Kings death, he exclaimed the
afterward so well-known words, "Das
mussea wir habbem" Chat must we
have). At this time new kind of guns.

to try those guns by letting the Duke
OF Augustenburg with German troops

King Of Denmark.
In this way the duchies were con-
auered. but when afterward the right

r% HE WAR has brought such in
\ tense suffering to the weak ma
Il tions of Europe, neutral and
belligerent alike, that the sense of pro-
portion in measuring suffering has be-
come dulled. Belgium and Serbia have
almost ceased to hurt the world con-
science. Their tragedies are SUBJ
merged in bigger issues. We know
that Sweden and Norway are hungry,
that war and famine ere ravishing Fin
land, that Poland, Ramania, Armenia,
Montenegro, Syria and host of tribes
in Asia Minor are simply dying from
hunger and by the sword, that for the
time being nothing can be done to
alleviate their woe, and that is prac~
tically the end of the matter.
In such times one could hardly stop
to look for q struggle with a happy
ending on the part Of any small nation
scorched by the flame of war
1t may be premature to speak of the
fight little Iceland is waging- against
that by-product of war, famine, as sue
cessfully won. Rather it is progressing
successfully. The end is not vet. This
the Icelanders fully realize. They real
lied their danger early in the war.
They know we'll the history of their lit
tie country, and that. through a thou
sand years past, wars engaging, the
attention of Northern Europe have
brought famines and pestilence to the
barren shores of their island.
Fortunately before the European war
began Iceland had established the be-
ginnings of a merchant fleet. The first
two years of the struggle brought enor-
nous gains to the country through sale
of fish, meat and dairy products to Eng
land and Scandinavia. Trade with
Scandinavia was, of course, the more
profitable, as the Scandinavians had a
star customer in Germany. But this
was stopped nearly two years ago.
However, the Icelanders met this situa-
tion without a grumble and took the
wisest precautions possible. Thew ac-
cepted lesser prices for their products
and increased their merchant feet.
Then, without making any noise about
it, they proceeded to adopt guard
ian, picking the likeliest and most
prosperous one in sight, Uncle Sam.
The population of Iceland at present
is little less than 100000. These hun
dred thousand owe their lives for two
years past to the United States. the

whose markets the Icelanders could

the Germans, was educated in Den

twenty-seven years of age. Afterward
he got permission from King Frederick
vi futher to educate himself in a
foreign country, and from there he
wrote to the King of Denmark to thank
him for all he was indebted to Den
mark. At the same time he expressed
the hope that all he would learn in
these foreign countries would be great
ly to the benefit of Denmark. And this

authorities have the impudence to pre-

place, and that all citizens are treated
the same.
Whenever, for instance, ships of the
German navy entered Schleswig ports,
commissariat officers were furnished by
their department with lists of names of
people from whom alone they were per-
mitted to purchase supplies, ETC., etc. 1t
need not be said that Danish tradesmen
were always excluded from these lists;

Effort Toward Sound
And Lasting Good
"The significant thing about the

this summer at Vassar," says DR.. c. F.
A. Winslow, of Yale, who will direct

during the first six weeks, "is that it

particularly in the field Of public health
nursing, there is urgent need for pro-

Bernhardi' s Way
ried Out There

AS soon as this was realized by those
in power the detestable theories of
men such as Reimer. Hasse. Daniel
Frymann,. Won Bernhard and others
were to be put into practice also in
ochleswlg--that is to say, the Danes
were to be evicted as much as possible
and as fast as possible from their own
SOIL and land, to be supplanted by ad
herents of the Prussian regime. This
was done as follows:
Whenever a Danish farmer died and
his family were unable or unwilling to
carry on the farm the government
simply stepped in and took possession
OF the estate. large or small. The
Pfussian Regierungsbauern"-
ment farmers-so called because they
were placed in possession of such es-
tates by the government, were put

In the meantime, this latest diaboli-
cal measure is not without danger to
the Danish population in the long run.
And that is the way Germany, the
alleged protector of the small nations.
treated the Danish districts in Schles-
wig.
