A publicity release from the Amer
lean Friends of Danish Freedom
and Democracy, 420 Lexington ave-
nue.. New York City. says:
The souvenir stamp of the Den
mark Building at the 1910 New York
Worlds Fair is imprinted with the
Danish flag and the keynote of the
fair, For Peace and Freedom. To
the Danes the white cross on a red
field is a symbol of democracy, free
dom and liberty.
The story of the Danish flag has
its beginning in the Middle Ages
during a crusade against the then
heather Estonians. In the early
part of the summer of 1919 Valdemar
the Victorious, King of Denmark,
set out in a great feet of longShips
for Lindanaes in Estonia, where he
conquered the Notifications and
began the building of what is now
the city of Reval.
However, a surprise and savage
counterattack by the Estonians took
place on the 18th of June, which
threw the Danes into confusion and
forced them to retreat toward their
ships. High on a hill overlooking
the battlefield knelt the Danish
Anders, praying for
victory.
