ICELAND TO BECOME
INDEPENDENT STATE
Under New Agreement with Denmark
Goes Into Effect on Dec. 1, Iceland
Is to Be Neutral in
the War.

Stockholm, Aug. 30-Ieeland would
become an independent sovereign state
on Dec l, next, under an agreement be-
public here. Heretofore Iceland has been
a dependency of the Danish crown but
the island had its own constitution and
legislature. The head of the Icelandic
administration has been minister ap-
pointed by the king of Denmark.
The new agreement which is intended
to become effective Dec l. provides that
Denmark shall acknowledge Iceland as a
sovereign state but it stipulates also
that the two countries shall continue to
be bound together by common ties of
kingship," indicating that King Christian
X. of Denmark will continue TO be king
also of Iceland.
The lcelandic Parliament had demand
ed separate flag but this is not includ-
ed in the agreement Denmark agrees to
notify the powers that Iceland is neutral
in the war.
Denmark Is to establish a fund of
about 100000 to develop intellectual re-
lations between the two countries and to
encourage exploration and scientific work
in Iceland. The fund is to be divided be-
tween the Copenhagen and Reykiavik
universities and is to be administered by
the king after consultation with the gov
ernments Of the two countries and with
both universities.
1t is provided that the provisions Of
the new agreement may be revised at
the request of either country, after the
year 1910. Whether the agreement has
been ratified by the Danish and Icelandic
Parliaments is not announced here
