DANISH VIEWS.

The Copenhagen Politiken headlines 1.-THE
Collapse of Germany and Bulgaria." and the
leading Danish financial weekly, the Fnan-
stidende, declares that America has turned the
tide of war against Germany and that startled
Europe is amazed at our achievement Ameri-
ca, says this paper, will soon have the greatest
commercial fleet in the world and is gaining
position of indisputable primacy among the ma
tons Of earth The explanation Of this is found
in the fact that our mingled ancestral strains
give us the British world outlook, the German
power of organization, the Gallo logic, the Slav
imagination and the Scandinavian broadmind-
edness, all of which are developing in the finest
natural setting any nation ever had When
the little helpless, terrorized Danish state thus
acclaims America and sees the collapse of Ger
many, it shows the desperate straits to which
the arrogant and imperious miltaristic empire
has been reduced. Danish papers would not
dare to have made SUCH comment in the early
years of the war

THE HUMoR OF IT.

There are some humors in this war and one
of them is suggested by the report that Bull
garia is ready to turn her war-making against
the Turks. Of all the belligerents in this war
Bulgaria has been most openly fighting bust
ness proposition. She has made up her mind
that she picked the wrong crowd to do business
with, and possibly would be glad now to even
up her score by doing some fighting for the
other. Particularly would she be willing to do
this fighting against the Turks, with whom she
has been at swords points over division Of
spoils already. But it would be foregone con
clusion that she would wish to fight for wages,
and she is hardly likely to be employed at her
own terms. But the willingness, if it exists,
is drearily humorous commentary on the sin
cerity of the eloquent proclamations made by
her and for her by Germany, that pure pat
riotism her motive in entering the war
