ICELAND LAKES
 STATION AMONG
 SELF GOVERNED

COPENHAGEN.-The principles of the peoples right in self-determ- ination found practical expression early in December when the sovc- ereignty of Iceland was proclaimed at Reykjavik, in full agreement with Denmark, who honored her former colony by sending warship to salute the Icelandic national flag with twenty-one guns.
 Acting as representative for Den mark the commander of the fishery cruiser, Islands Falk, said that this salute was the first outward but significant evidence of the desire of the Danish nation to carry into effect the new Act of .Tonfedcra- tion in the most loyal way. The Icelandic Cabinet Minister M. Egg gertz, also spoke in terms of ap- preciation of the fact that Iceland had been granted the right to have it's own flag. Apart from this cere- mony, and the hoisting of the Ice landic flag from the capitol, TO festiities took place on account of the influenza epidemic which has so far claimed 26O victims in Keyk- javik.
 In Copenhagen the Icelandic col ony celebrated the Federation Act at banquet at which the Iceiandic prime minister was present.
 At dinner given here by the King and queen of Denmark, King Christian expressed the hope that the present order of things which had been established would form the basis for the happy development of future intercourse between the two peoples and he concluded by ex- pressing his best wishes for Ice lands future.
