the Danish cause. After most
persistent resistance the small
remnant Of the Danish army was
forced to defeat--with the re-
suit that one-third of the entire
area of the country was coded
to the victors. THAT portion Of
the country is now about to be
restored.)
Spirit Of Dependency.
Denmark was defeated; Danish
soil was taken by foreign robbers
and for a time it looked as
though a mood of dependency
would settle upon the Danes.
What's the use Of doing any
thing?' was a question which
was asked a thousand times dur
ing the period Immediately fol-
lowing the war. 1t was typical
Of the age, for the Danes saw no
hope anywhere, and even the
great powers who had promised
that Denmark would not be left
alone in her hour of disaster,
found it inconvenient to make
good their promises.
Thousands of men had been
killed, the fields were untitled,
industry was paralyzed, trade
with foreign countries was prac-
tically non-existent. the country
was heavily indebted. and, to
make matters worse. very large
number of farmers and labores
who had lost hope altogether,
went away to America and
Australia.
1t was no wonder that pessi-
mism reigned supreme, and that
the generation of "a grew up
with the sting of defeat pene-
trating their very hearts.
The viii to Win.
But no nation can for any
length of time bury itself in the
consciousness that it has been un-
deservedly Inundated, and it had
not yet been written in history
that Denmark's destiny had been
fulfilled. The Danes emerged
from the war and the period fol-
lowing it, priding themselves
upon the fact that during their
more than two thousand years
of existence. their old flag had
never yet been hauled down in
disgrace, and that never yet had
the country for one moment lost
its sovereignty.
There was an inspiration in
this thought~-and out of it grew
a will to win within what was
lost without"
This will has asserted itself in
such a manner as to make other
nations wonder what is the real
handspring Of it, and the results
have been nothing. less than
marvellous. =
One peculiar feature Of the ad-
vance made by the Danish nation
within the last half century is
that economic and political pro-
gress was preceded by great
strides in the educational field.
In Denmark it is not believed
that great movements can be
carried on without a good deal of
solid education. and for this
reason attention was first of all
concentrated upon the task of
popularizing the schools in a
manner unprecedented.
Reasons for Success.
In introducing short series
Of articles on economic progress
f, in Denmark. it is pertinent to
summarize what are the most d.
rect causes of it. Observers
foreigners as we'll as Danes
agree that one outstanding cause
is the high standard of popular
education, an intense national
spirit, and a highly developed
social morality. Another is the
evolution Of the cooperative
movement comprising produc-
ton, purchase and marketing:

tional.
(By G. S. Strandvold in Grand
Forks Herald. Thursday. April
II. 1919
During the period Of political
agitation in North Dakota it has
become a habit to point to
Danish social conditions in an eff.
fort to show that the principle
Of Socialistic cooperation has
produced q most phenomenal
success. and that the population
generally has derived unparral-
led benefits from the application
Of that principle.
The claim is a fallacy, for
while cooperation has been more
consistently taken advantage of
in Denmark than in any other
country. it has nothing to do
with Socialism, nor with any
form of state paternalism.
A very small minority Of
Danish farmers are Socialists,
and their economic movements
have been almost entirely
separated from political develop
ment. Indeed, at the time when
the present cooperative system
had it's inception among the
peasants of Denmark, they knew
practically nothing of Socialism.
They had a vague idea that it
was some abhorrently revQlu-
tionary movement which aimed
at upsetting the government and
creating strife between labor
and capital.
They know more about Socia-
lism now-and for that very
reason have not changed their
views.
No Political Background.
Denmark's amazing develop
.ment during the last half CEN
fury or so was. first of all, in
spired by an intense national
feeling which found its concrete
expression in the famous slogan.
What we lost without. we must
win Within" coined almost i'm
mediately after the defeat adj
ministered to the small Danish
army by the combined legions Of
Prussia and Austria in 1864.
In the effort to rehabilitate the
nation everyone joined---aristo-
cracy and bureaucracy. business
and labor, large estate owners
and small freeholders. Glass di-
stinctions were perhaps not en-
tirely ignored. but no attempt
was made to emphasize them.
and no strife was engendercd be-
tween the various social strata
Of the country except that of
friendly and spirited rivalry.
It was the idea of national
unity which bore fruit in the re-
markable system now every
where recognized ms peculiarly
Danish. Political differences,
factional fights played an almost
infinitesimal part in the work of
making Denmark greater--and
Socialism played no part what
s0ever. except in, the sense that
some Of the methods applied by
the Danes were afterward ampli-
fed and Incorporated in Socia-
listic programs.
In other words: Patriotism. not
politics created a modern Den
mark.
Country Had Suffered Much.
Fifty years ago Denmark was
handicapped in a number OF
ways: During the early part OF
the nineteenth century she had
been involved in the Napoleonic
wars, had her navy and her great
merchant marine captured or de-
stroyed by British men-of-war
was separated from Norway

Everything On Wheels To
BeUsed At Toledo, Friday
Toledo Rail and Light Co. to Run Cars Every Half Min
ute From Heart of City to the Willard-Dempsey
Championship Arena; Autos and Motor Boats Will
Be Used

tat,on problem by several thous-
ands.
The gates Of the huge arena will
be thrown open at 9 o'clock on the
morning of the contest, but Willard
and Dempsey will not climb into the
ring until 3 o'clock that afternoon.
II ic safe to say that approximately
half the crowd will be seated as the
first preliminaries will be started at
10 o'clock and the more eager of
the fans will demand to be in the
monster wooden structure to see the
first gloves fly.
Toledo itself doubtless will send
from 10000 to 10000 citizens to the
arena, and if the day is not too hot,
these will cover the distance on foot,
provided they have no automobiles.
In the light of past experiences. it is
probable that the crowds will start
to assemble outside the four grand
entrances to the arena in the cool of
the morning but the rush and crush
is expected to occur near noon.
Another method of getting to
Bayview park, which is more novel
than practical, is a feet of small
motor boats which will ply between
the downtown section and the park.
The stadium is within few hundred
feet of the Maunee River and Maui
NEE Bay and these boats could be
made a factor in the transportation
provided enough of them operate.
The throngs, however, will choose
street cars and automobiles with the
inevitable crush, rush and jam in
c:dent to such an occasion.

Bv WILLIAM o. BLOZIES.

Today's local amateur baseball
league contests in practically all of
the leagues, affiliated with the NUM-
cipal Amateur Baseball association
will be of great interest and the many
thousands of followers of the ma
tional pastime will no doubt witness
plenty of fast and snappy playing.
During the past week the teams
have all had considerable practice,
as twilight games were played by
the majority of the class c teams,
and the leaders all announce that
their aggregations are in the best OF
condition and will furnish the spec
tators with plenty of excitement.
Although the Nebraska Power
Co.-Holmes White Sox battle in the
Greater Omaha league this after
noon has been called off because
both teams have out-of-town games,
no contests will be staged in the
Class A organization. The Holmes
will journey to Missouri Valley,
while the Power lads will play at
Plattsmouth.
From present indications the fea-
ture contest this afternoon will be
between the Paxton-Vierlings and
the Sample-Harts, members of the
American league. Said battle will
be staged at Riverview park,
promptly at $3.50 o'clock Both
teams are tied for second honors in
said league and considerable rival
ry exists between these clubs so a
hard fought game is anticipated.
Followers of the motor crew and
ironworkers are banking their cash
hard on these two crack slab-artists,
Jack Krejic of Motors and Ralph
Beers of the iron workers.
Another game of interest in the
same loop will be that between the
]. B. Roots and the Universal Mo-
tors. Both of these crack aggrega-
tons having been staging greaS
games thus far, losing by few tai
lies. However, they have strength
ened their lineup and the moguls
announce that they will make en-
all ramble some from now on. This
contest holds forth at Elmwood
park, east diamond, $50 o'clock.
The Riggs Optical company, lead
ers of the American league should
have an easy time winning over the
American Railway exchange, as the
latter club has failed to cop a single
game this season. But from i'll
formation given out by the follow
ers of the tail-enders a surprise is in
store for the Optical boys today.
Although the McCaffrey Motor
team, withdrew from the city league
last week, following a decision by
the managers of that organization
when they ordered the game with
the Bowen Furniture company o
be replayed. T. S. McCaffrey, back
er of the team announced positively
yesterday, following a conference
with Secretary Isaacson of the Mu-
nicipal Amateur Base Ball associa
ton and Frank Jacobs, president If
the City league, that the Mccall
rey's will be in the field this after
noon playing their regularly SEIZED
uled game with the Mickle Victro-
las.
This battle will be fought out at
Thirty-second and Dewey avenue,
and the fans will see an exciting at
fair, as considerable rivalry exists
between the two clubs. The mo-
ltor crew, are in second place with

was a no-decision contest, but Mo-

occasion that there was no question
as to Wizards having won decisive

action almost constantly will be in
much better condition.

but one game ahead of the Mickles
and should they lose these teams
will be tied. Manager Billy Harris,
announced last night that he is un-
certain who he would send to the
firing line in an effort to make the
race a tie. Ray Maxwell or Pinault
will do the twirling for the Nc
Caffreys.
Should the McCaffreys fail to ap-
pear, they will be barred from play
ing in the association for two years.
Under the management of AL.
Vernon, who recently returned from
France, the Bowen Furniture team
will be seen in action against the
Omaha Printing company aggrega-
ton at Elmwood park, west dia-
monds at $3.50 o'clock. The Bowens
started the season In great shape
and for a time it looked as though
they would make a clean sweep.
but luck turned and now they are in
fourth place in the City league race.
Vernon, who is considered the best
shortstop in local amateur base ball
circles succeeded Art Moran as
manager last week. The reason for
Moran's resigning is unknown, but
it was rumored that he quit
on his own account. He was
always friendly with his play
ers. Vernon announced that he
will strengthen his lineup and will
finish in first place.
Miller park will be the battle
grounds where the Union Quitting
Co. and the Willard Storage Battery,
also of the City loop, will cross bats
at $50 o'clock. Manager Parcal of
the Outfitters announced that Nufer
will be his choice in today's game
and is confident his aggregation will
add another game to their long
strings of victories.
Probably the most exciting
game in class C circles will be
staged at Riverview park, when the
Harley-Davidsons and the Highland
Park Pharmacy's of the Inter-City
league will fight it out. These two
teams have been running a neck-to-
neck race and are evenly matched
Other games in this circuit should

Benny Leonard received over $1,000

two weeks ago. Benny fought for

Toledo, O., June 29.-To carry
$1,000 impatient fight fans from the
heart Of Toledo to Tex Richards

five hours is the problem which will
face traction officials and taxicab
companies when Jess Willard and
Jack Dempsey meet in their cham

solve it, everything on wheels will be
pressed into service.
The chief medium of transporta-
ten to Bay View Park, the site of
the arena. will be street cars. For
tuna,ely the city has double track
from the heart of the city to the
park, and, by running cars out on
one track and returning on the other,
can move approximately $4,000 per-
sons an hour. To accomplish this,
it will be necessary to tap other
