Dennark's Recent Plebiscite
Farce to Better Educated Ones;
Germany Trying to Dominate

coming exodus of Danes, for many
thousands of these thrifty and hard
working farmers will cross the At
Iantic to join their countrymen there
who migrated before the war to es-
cape Prussian tyranny, and the dis
grace Of serving in the army of the
Kaiser.
Americans will shortly have the
chance to greet a real royal princess
of the most upto-date kind, for it
lis said that Princess Margrethe.
cousin of the kings of Denmark and
England, possibly accompanied by
one of her brothers, will in the near
future pay a prolonged visit to the
United States for the purpose of see
ing the many Danish settlements
there between the Atlantic and the
Pacific.
The young princess, who is barely
out of her teens, is an unusually
beautiful girl, and during the first
part of the war she served as
nurse in England until on the verge
of a nervous breakdown which COM
PEELED her to return to Denmark
Since then she has devoted herself
to works of charity in Copenhagen
Like her mother before her. she is
the idol of the Danish people and
particularly of the working classes

ity that the Dowager Empress of
Russia, who is as energetic as ever.
and takes a keen interest in poll
tics, has given her nephew, ex-king
/ TinO, of Greece, very strong piece
OF her mind in connection with his
scheme Of returning to Greece.
The old Empress has never for
given Constantin that he married
{ the Kaiser's sister and even less
! that from the very first he allowed
himself to become absolutely dom
! mated by his new German relations.
/ She has, in fact, always looked upon
! Tino as the black sheep of the
Danish royal family, and this opIn-
ion was shared by Tino's own faith
er, the late King George, who was
assassinated by a Turkish madman
at Salonica before the outbreak of
! the war.
She has more than once expressed
: herself as utterly unable to under
stand how a man in whose veins
: flows the nOblest Danish and Rus-
! sian blood could possibly have be-
come tainted with Germanism.
It has been a very great disap-
! pOintment to the Empress that her
sister, Queen Alexandra. has been
nable to join her at their little
country home at "Hvidoere," just
outside Of Copenhagen.
It is understood here that, in spite
of the reassurinE reports published
| in the British press. Queen Alex
andra's state of health is giving rise
to considerable uneasiness and that
this is the reason why King Chris
! tian, who is a great favorite of his
English aunt, intends to visit Eng
land as soon as the festivities con-
/ nected with the restoration Of the
! rorthern part of S1esvig are over.
