Shortage Of Houses Adds
to Danish Cities Woes;
Flat Auctions in Order
Correspondence of Associated Press.

Correspondence of Associated Press.
London, July 20.-A shortage OF
homes is adding to the woes OF resi-
dents of Danish cities. Many brick
wards. according to a Dane who has
lust returned here from Copenhagen,
have had to close. with the result that
building virtually has ceased and hat
hunting has developed into What
might be called fiat auctions.
II fiat was advertised for rent IN
the papers, probably 100 persons
would assemble that day outside the
building. No one was admitted to the
fiat, but the caretaker, when he
thought a large enough crowd had
collected, would throw open his WIN
dow and say something like this:
"The rent Of this fiat, ladies and
gentlemen, is so much a year. Which
Of you will pay me most for arranging
matters!"
Then a kind of auction would be
held. and whoever made the largest
bid for the services of the caretaker
would secure the fiat.
Now the fiat famine has developed
to such an extent that the diligent
fat seeker studies the death announce
ments, proceeds Immediately to the
residence and assails the mourners
with questions about their plans with
regard to the fiat.

friends in Bloomfield consider
that the fact he is on the front line

added:
"We have had one long stay OF
about $50 days since we first landed
here. | believe this is the longest
stay on the front that any American
division has yet had"
And Frank says this Immediately
after he apologies for the lack OF
news" Then he added:
Il understand that many Americans
are arriving now. 1t has been so long
since we were in the rear that I do
not have any idea just what we have
back there now. But from what we
get from the newspapers it would APP
pear that large numbers are over here.
You get just as much news about such
things as we do and probably more.
Two friends of mine who canre
over on the boat when did were
killed last week. They were second
lieutenants in the engineers. Another
was seriously injured.
II was supposed to leave for the
states today, to return and train

Fortunes Made in
Iceland By Secret
Trade With German,

Correspondence Of Associated Press.
London, July l5.-A great deal of
trade was done between Iceland and
Germany and Austria, earlier in the
war, in the opinion of the attorney
general, expressed during the hear
ing OF a case in the prize court. This
contraband trade was upon an enor-
nous scale and very difficult to de-
tect, he declared. He gave one il
Observation-Disclosures October and De-
cember, 1914. the entire output of
100000 woolskins was exported to
Germany and Austria via Denmark.
Although the British government
knew this was going on it had not
been possible to detect it owing to
the territorial natufe of the voyage
till they had been able to get evi-
dence by means of intercepted mes
sages. Fortunes had been made in
Iceland. Voyages were usually secret
and by unusual courses, designed to
avoid the British navy, while docu-
ments were made out to conceal
the true nature Of the transaction.

Armours Play U. S.
Navy Boys and Defeat I
Them by Odd Score

The Armours defeated the Navy
team, to 7, Sunday. They spotted
the Navy six runs in the first inning,
that is, after the side should have
been retired the Navy got to Andy
Graves for six hits and scored six
runs, after that he held them safe
except in the fourth. when a two
bagger and single netted them an
other run.
The Armours took a brace and
timely hits coupled with their op-
ponents' errors and the wildness of
Freynick allowed the Arm6urs to win
a great uphill game. Daring base
running by M. Collins brought in the
winning run for Armours, he going
to third on ball muffed in the out
field. Williams caught great bali.
Nye, Lawler, Lyck, Riddle and Stew
ems led with the stick for the Navy.

excellent play for her. There are we'll

of light comedy.

Carlyle Blackwell, the star, is pretty

Getting a permit TO take d Ger

the time R. A. Walsh had in secur-
ing Indians for his mammoth VIII
liam Fox Standard Picture. THE
Conuueror." For months before the
actual filming Of the masterpiece
was begun, Mr.. Walsh was in con-
slant communication with govern
ment officials on the Reservation
and in Washington, going through
the proper "red tape" for the au-
thority to take the Red Skins to
Los Angeles.
When permission was finally
granted $50 unmarried Sioux were
brought by train from the Pine
Ridge Agency, in South Dakota, to
southern California. The rulings Of
the Department of the Interior for
bid the transportation of married
Indians. They also require that the
employer put up bond Of $4,000,
guaranteeing that no harm will come
to their charges. The borrower
must also cover in this bond that
the borrowed will be safely return
ed to the Reservation, within a stip-
ulated time, and that, in the in
terval no drop of whiskey will be
given to them. Return tickets had
to be shown to government officials
before single Indian was allowed to
leave the agency.
Many famous Sioux were in the
group which Director Walsh got fol
! his production. Among them was
| Little Bear, a medicine man who
