WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-Freedom
OF Schleswig 1Iplstein, wrested from
Denmark by Germany In 1856, will be
one Of the specific demands OF Presi-
dent Wilson at the peace table.
Answering the call OF native Danes,
both in Schleswig and in the United
States. the president has assured
these people that the wrong done
them by Germany In 1866 shall be
rfghted. The presidents position
was outlined in letter made public
today, replying to a petition recently
presented by American citizens from
schleswtg-Holstein and others OF
Danish descent The petition said:
Speak, and speak SOON, In order
that those OF our people who are less
fortunate than we, may be granted the
simple elementary rights of self-de-
termination and of self-government
for the preservation Of which we and
our children are now working at
home and fighting abroad"
The president directed his reply to
Rev. K. C. Bodholdt. Of Racine, Wis,
native Of Schleswig and leader In
the fight of the Danish Americans.
II can but assure you that your ap-
peal to Americas sympathy and pas
sion for justice will not go unheeded.
for it founds itself wisely upon the
rights of men to rule themselves ana
to choose the manner in which that
self-rule shall be exercised" wrote
the president.
Not America alone, but all the
peoples now quickened to a newer
sense Of the values Of Justice, must
join In the relief of grievance whose
continuance would traverse the prin-
ciples for which more than a score of
nations are fighting"
The presidents position on Schles-
wig -Holstein was determined upon by
him with this country's entrance into
the war. About a year ago the Unit
ed Press was authorized to state semi
officially that the president was COM
mitted to four fundamental positions
in the west:

duct during peace times, and the tenn
permental southeastern Europeans
can Withhold their natural feelings only
under great pressure. The allied army
lof occupation has already crossed in
, to Austria and itg presence is having .
deterrent effect upon any inclination
toward anarchy on the part Of the Ger.
mans, who are the dominant Austrian
race.
The arrival Of strong French mill
tary force at Budapest this week has
attracted little attention though the
movement has an important signifi-
canoe.
1t is the policy of the allies not to
occupy the enemy capitals unless un-
der special circumstance the cause OF
lasting -vengefulnesss usually created
by the act OF publicly proclaimed cap
tivity. The seizure of Budapest, there
fore, Is an exceptional measure of pre-
caution. 1t has been done for the pur.
pose OF preventing riotous activity by
the Magyars, who are ambitious to be-
come the dominating power in the new
constellation of little nationalities
that Is destined to be-spangle the map
OF southeastern Europe.
The Hungarian Magyars are des.
tined to be the chief immediate losers
as the result of the war, after the Ger.
mans. The Magyars long desired to
dominate newly formed Hapsburg
empire. Instead Of this, their own prov.
inces are being wrested from them tr
give freedom to oppressed nationals
ties. and Hungary is being reduced to
secondary rank, not superior to a lit
tie Balkan kingdom. The danger of an
uprising among the Magyars because
of the downfall Of their ambitions has
thus forced the French to occupy Bud
apest, and the army of occupation in
its turn is preventing revolutionary
Iexcesses.

G9 Fatal Accidents in State Duriu"
 EaSt Six Months.

Hartford, July 2.--Thc number of fatal accidents reported to the auto mobile department for the first six months of the present wear, January l to June 30 was e and the number of persons killed 69. In the same pcrod for 1917 there were 66 fatal accidents and the number killed was about the same. There were IS children whose age ranged from three to twelve years among the 69 killed. In two instances the accidents occurred outside the state and were reported to the department because the cars were operated under Con nccticut licenses. In two other in stances the operators were Now York people and so far as the control of the license was concerned were within the jurisdiction Of the state of New Y ork. The new law enacted at the session of 1917 was in effect dur ing the entire six months of this year. but during the corresponding period of last year the old law was in oper- atiOn.
 The increase in registered motor vehicles for the six months is about 25,000

delinquency is increasing at a raptaa rate, due to the large numbers of fathers who arc away from home in government service, and the enlist- ment of nearly all of the young men who have been active as scoutmasters and leaders in boys work. The school assumes unusual importance in the social scheme in consequence, and it is earnestly hoped that those who are fitted to teach and can contribute a few hours of their time, will make the fact known. The sessions are held in the morning from 9:30 to 11:30, five days a week, and in general the actual time a teacher is engaged is for an hour in each session.
 The school is strictly non-scctarian. Of the 233 pupils enrolled last year, 145 were Catholics and $8 were Protestants. Only 45 were native born of American parentagc, the balance being of foreign extraction. The school is doing good work in Amcricanization and is keeping the children occupied in. helpful pursuits in the long vacation days and it's growth proves it to have a real mis- sion to perform for the people it reaches.

Sugar Cards for GrOcCrS.


 GrOCerS will be able to secure no more sugar without first getting sugar cards from the local food udmins- trutor. The groccrs about the town will be hard hit by this ruling. as un- der. it they will be allowed to have on hand only five days supply. The fla cilitics for transporting the sugar which they order to their stores are bad in most cases, and the ordering of anything means the lapse of d considerable length Of time before they arc able to have the goods which they order at their store.
 This condition will be overcome somewhat by the new road. |NprcSs- men have in the past refused bl"nkly to carry goods from New Britain to tn" Berlin street grOCcrS because of fear of damage to their autOmObilc due to the rough road.
