AMERICAN HIDE BUYERS
ARE BUSY IN ARGENTINA
Closing Contracts for Skins Up to
Middle of June-Antcipate
German Purchases,

.BCENOS AIRES. January (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press)-
American buyers are reported to be
buying Argentine cattle hides on con-
tracts which would include the great
er part of what are known as "freez-
ing house skins up to the middle of
June, 1920. The American buyers, ac-
cording to La Razon. are anticipating
German purchases which are expected
to be facilitated by the resumption
of maritime traffic with German ports
AT present. says La Razon. 1.-The de-
mand for cattle hides is very active
all over the world. The United States
bought during the war the greater
part of Argentina's production, but
now cannot do this for the reason
that the tanning industry has pro-
gressed very much in several coun-
tries. such as Spain. Sweden, Norway
and Holland. and these vountries to-
day are disputing the market AS
Germany is commencing to operate
on a large scale In the international
hide market. the United States will
not find the same facilities that she
had in 1915-1S to impose her prices on
the market.
1T is estimated that Argentina next
year will be able to dispose of more
than 100000 cattle hides

FLENSBURG. Province of Schles-
wig g-Helstein. January 2S.-Schleswig
is now occupied by interallied troops.
In Senterburg, Hadersleben. Asbenras
and Flensburs. where the inhabitants
are mainly pro-Danish. the soldiers
were cordially received. Senderburg
was decorated with Danish and
allied flags in honor of the occasion.
and when the troops of occupation
came they were greeted with bands
playing national hymns and with
speeches of thanks to the allies
An old man, who in 1864 saw the
German troops come in and haul down
the Danish flag. was much affected
when he saw the same white and red
of the 1iberators. He shed tears of
joy.
Forest Of FlagstafFs.
In travelling from the Danish side
of the border through the first and
second zones Of Schleswig. one could
not help being moved by the hap
piness of the Danes, who for fifty-six
years have been oppressed by Prus-
sian militarism. 1t was like travelling
the poorest peasant had the Danne-
breog danish flag) flying from a
STAFF in front of his house.
The pro-Danish people of Schleswig
must have bought thousands upon
thousands of flags to fly on the his
manently reunited to Denmark.
Much agitation preliminary to the
plebiscite Is being carried on by both
sides. but the Germans seem to be
unfair in their tactics. They accuse
the Danes of having established a big
system of bribery and compulsion and
say that the Danish firms in Schles-
wig threaten stheir pro-German en-
ployes with various things until they
promise to vote for adhesion to Dem
mark. Offers of food are made to
influence the election in some places
Saturday by. order of the interna-
tional commission. The Germans in
the city held a mass meeting, at
which protests against the allied oc-
ing a big crowd followed the soldiers
through the streets to the railroad
station. When they boarded the train
that was to take them south the Ger
mans were wearing flowers on their
uniforms and their rifles. Flowers
were showered upon them from the
windows as they marched through
the city.
Elaborate Festivities.
French and British troops arrived
in Flensburg on Sunday and the in
ternational commission later. Prepa-
fatlonS had been made by the Danes
to welcome them with elaborate fes-
tivities Their first feeling is one of
joy that they speak and act freely
after leading more or less slavish
life under the Prussian regime for
more than half a century.
Danes in Flensburg know that in
a great measure they have to thank
President Wilson's humanity and pu-
litical foresight for their liberty. as
he made self-determination by small
nations one of the leading principles
in the peace treaty with Germany
For this reason the Danes in Schles-
wig. as well as the Danes in Den
mark. in these historic days, let their
thoughts and thanks go across the
Atlantic to America and her Presi-
dent because of their work for world
justice.

Of what they desire the news to be.
I wish 1t were possible for every
newspaper to conceive itself a. .
great public utility and to be COM
mitted to the policy Of seeking the
facts and presenting them In the
most impartial manner possible. l
wish also that our people would
tolerate only leaders who have the
ability and inclination to get the
facts. to interpret them honestly,
and courageously to present their
conclusions to the people. know
this standard would put q very
large percentage of present lead
