some measure OF responsibility.
It is believed that the state de

a mere transmission of the COMMIT

Maurice Francis Egan, former
minister to Denmark and distin-
guished American man Of letters,
delighted a large audience Of stu

OF his experiences while in the dip

rare sense OF humor of the etiquette
which pervades court atmosphere,
and referred with admirable delica-
cy TO the visit Of the Ford peace
ship to Copenhagen.
While the general tenor Of hfS re-
marks ran in a humorous vein, the
distinguished speaker dropped many
valuable congratulations Of his ex-
perience, He declared that the war
has failed to regenerate anything
and that with the exception OF the
United States, no great power ever
had a national conscience when the
question was a seizure Of territory.
He reviewed the German grab of
the Schleswig province and the con-
sequent fear of Denmark that the
entire country might be assimilated.
He declared faceteously that
Queen Louise had cleverly fOrestall-
ed that result by intermarrying her
children in such a manner that the
present king Of Denmark is related
to every throned and dethroned
monarch in existence with the ex-
ception Of the sultan, the mikado
and the pope. AS a result of this
royal relationship Denmark became
the whispering gallery Of Europe"
The existence Of constant streams
OF royal visitors formed the back
