ONE GERMAN
SOLDIER KILLED
in DANISH DRIVE
Continued From Page One)

My first impression of Denmark
as l arrived here was one of per-
feet peace.
At the airdrome there were a few
German soldiers. Six military cars,
and half a dozen motorcycles passed
my taxi on the way into the city.
But I saw no other uniforms until
I reached the Hotel Angleterre,
where there were guards about the
army headquarters.
General Kaupisch boosted that
Germany's plans fol occupation of
the country were kept in such great
secrecy that 'the Danish government
and people were completely surpris-
ed. We simply overran the country
before there was time to 90 any
thing.
"Such few deaths as occurred re-
suited from the fact that frontier
guards quickly telephoned to several
points near the frontier where Off
GERS alarmed their men before the
non-resistance order from the CAPT.
tai could reach them"
We are SO convinced of the abso.
lutte loyalty of the Danish govern
ment and people that we have left
all arms, even the heaviest, in the
hands of the Danish armed forces"
he continued.
The Danish army is demobilizing
| some reservists who had been called
to the colors, but this Was done with
out pressure on our part. Evidently
these reservists are important for
the economic life Of the nation. We
welcome their discharge, for addition
al barracks now become available"
The man who henceforth under
German rule will be responsible Tor
law, order and security in Denmark,
said he just had come from an in
terview with King Christian. who,
he said, ''saw eye to eye" with him
regarding the relations that should
exist between the German authori-
ties and the Danish government and
people.
The king took his daily horseback
ride through the heart of the capt.
tai yesterday.

after the war began, those able
to pay for their transportation will
be expected to do so. Funds will
be advanced on promissory notes

comes from a special fund created

All Americans will be required
