The Refugee Problem In Denmark

German refugees in the course Of
a few months, but at the end of
July 1915 it was reported that by
reason of the chaotic conditions in
Germany, it was impossible for the
Allies until further notice to re-
ceive the remaining 100000 refu-
gees and Denmark had thus to
reckon on keeping them in any
case through the winter.
The greatest problem has been
that of quartering. In order to
release the schools, etc, for their
original purpose as quickly as pos
sible, great barrack-camps have
been built, chiefly by the removal
and collection af abandoned Ger
man military barracks and fur
thermore by purchasing barracks
in Sweden, thus affording room
for $4,000 refugees. The original
number of 1000 camps has there
by in due course been greatly re-
duced.
Together with the solution of
this problem. the welfare of the
refugees has been fixed according
to established methods of proceed
ure. The administration of the
camps including the provision of
food, fuel and other necessities for
the refugees and also the sanitary
arrangements has been firmly es-
tablished. While the refugees orig
inally had diet corresponding to
1000 calories, they are now re-
ceiving 2270 calories daily,
AS the material side of the well
fare has been gradually built up,
other problems have likewise been
taken in hand. Teaching of h e
children and cultural work on a
democratic basis among the adults
has been commenced. The solu-
ton of these problems is obviously
of great Importance to combat
that apathy and depression which
follows an internment lasting sew
eral years.
Workshops have been estab-
ished in the camps where they
work with straw-plaiting repairs
of various kinds and other suit
able work. New possibilities of oc-
cupation are being sought, par
ticularly for the women for whom
/ it is difficult to obtain sufficient
Teaching is done by German
teachers, appointed after a thor
ough investigation and by means
of books specially printed for the
purpose. Efforts are made for the
cultural influences of the adults
by means of libraries. films, the
aires, lectures and study circles.

Record Invasion
OF Tourists


STOCKHOLM - Never before
has Sweden received as many for
eign tourists as during the season
just past, according to DR.. Gustaf
Munthe, head of the Swedish Tour
list Traffic Association.
Compared with 1888, the last
summer of peace, the number of
Americans was three times as
great, or in all some 10000, while
there were ten times as many
Danish visitors and six times as
many from Norway. British tour
lists numbered between 10000 and
$4,000, which is some 10000 to
$4,000 more than before the war.

President Roosevelt, the father

exceptional Importance of his high
offices and the moderating and
conciliating influence he has to
exercise.

Germans assist in this work. A
newspaper is furthermore pub
lished once weekly. At a very
early date divine services were
arranged and there are clergymen
belonging to all the recognized
faiths in the camps. Families
which had been separated have
been gathered together in the
same camp and by means of the
files of the Refugee Administra-
ton the refugees can make in
quiries concerning their families
outside Denmark.
Although the Refugee Admins
tration has endeavored to organ
ize the camps under such proper
conditions as it has been possible
under the existing circumstances,
and has done all it could to coun-
teract the harmful consequences
which must of necessity arise. by
reason of internment in foreign
country, it must been emphasized
that a continued internment of
these refugees who have now been
living in a closed camp for more
than 2 years is impossible to be
carried out in the long run. Den
mark has not only used a consid-
cradle part of its national income
in the course of this welfare work,
more than 400 million Kroner to
date, but it has not been able
either to avoid that the solution
of such an enormous problem has
delayed the Danish reconstruction
in many directions.
Since the LIST of November 1916,
$4,000 refugees have been repatri-
ated to the British zone, $4,000 to
the French zone and $1,000 to the
American zone. The transport of
$4,000 refugees to the Russian
zone is now taking place. After
the conclusion of the transporta-
ticas already arranged. there will,
however, still remain about $4,000
German refugees In Denmark
II can furthermore be added
that at the capitulation there were
about 24,00O displaced persons of
non-German nationality in Den
mark. of which $4,000 have been
sent away. thus leaving about g.
900 of this class of refugees. These
displaced persons were gathered
into a number of camps which are
administered by the Danish Red
Cross under the direction of the
Refugee Administration. They are
permitted to move about at will.
their rations correspond to those
of Danish citizens. they are en-
titled to cigarette ALLEGATIONS and
pocket-money according to estab-
lished regulations. and those who
have physically recover d
have gradually been absorbed into
Danish business life.

Britain Prints Ads Asking
Little Men, Work Harder

LONDON, ENGLAND. The gov
eminent has started a newspaper
advertising campaign to convince
skeptical Britons that a grave eco
nomic crisis exists and the nation
urgently needs o production.
The advertisements urge Briton's
little men" to work harder and ex-
plain in simple language why "the
national problem is a personal prob
lem for every one of u.s."
A cartoon pictures Britain as a
housewife and the rest of the world
as a grocer. Mrs. Britain" is
shown receiving 10 food packages
and paying for only 6.
cts exactly like a family spend
ing 10 pounds (S40) for every 6
pounds it earns" the ad says, ex-
planning the difference between
what it must import in food and
raw materials for industry.

The U. S. navy recruiting station
at Helena announced this week that
William H. Phillips of PIP Third
avenue, Laurel, had been h~onorably
discharged from the navy at Ala
media, Calf, at expiration of his
enlistment. He held the rating of
chief quartermaster at the time
of his discharge.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. H. Barney and
Mrs. Minnie Richard, mother of
Mrs. Barney, arrived here Wednes-
day afternoon of last week from
Minnesota and Wisconsin where the
Barneys had spent three weeks. On
the trip home they encountered $50
miles of recovered highway, be-
ginning 20 miles west of Fargo and
continuing until 40 miles west of
Mandan. They were all day negoti-
ating the ice, though their a was
equipped with tire chains. Mime
sofa and Wisconsin had good crops
this year, the visitors found. The
corn crop was the best harvested in
80 years. The trend in cities and
large towns, they observed, is to
do away with alleys. Sections of
Appleton and Neenah, Wis, have
abandoned the alleys, and the lawns

Pays to Operate Moderately

Equipment used at moderate
rates Of operation always will last
longer, give less trouble and save in
energy consumption. Operate your
refrigerator more at lower settings
OF the cold control. Do more cook
ing with the lower heats on burn
ers. Don't try to hurry the washing
by overlooking the machine. Turn
of light and heating appliances inn
mediately when through using
them. Fire your furnace moderate
ly and maintain an even tempera-
ture in the house. Be conscious Of
moderation and avoid the dash-and-
tear way of doing things.

source of all life and only God at
its source can redeem life from
futility and fear. So let us draw
nigh unto God during this Advent

vice regularly for this new life, OF

for which it is the preparation,

It's a common fate of the aver
age woman, of average size, to
find bitter disappointment in the
fit of clothes she buys in ready
to-wear departments. Often the
waiStline is too long, the sleeves
too long, the skirt too long. even
though the garment may. fit in
circqmference. If she buys the
dress anyway, alteration costs
make@it more expensive than she
planned. If she tries to wear it as
is, the proportions are wrong for
her figure. - -; :
IT is "a sac, but trues fact that
most Designers plan theft cfeA-
tons for the tall, willowy fash
ion models, while thet average
woman. short and slightly hefty,
is left with only a dream of how
she would like to look.
Since we are not all constructed
like Powers models, who usually
are at least five feet ten, with q
size II waist and hipline, it be-
hooves us to look into the pro
portion of the clothes we buy.
One manufacturer has investi-
gated the measurements of the
average woman and found that q
large percentage of u. S. female
adults are five feet or under in
height, with a little more girth
than is usually provided for ir
the standard size dresses.
The result is a line of dresses
and suits designed especially tc
fit the proportions of the average
American woman. whose height
is five feet five or under. Waist-
lines, hemlines, shoulderlinef
and trimmings are adjusted ac-
cordingly, for correct proper
tionS.
These clothes now are generally
available in department stores
and speciality shops throughout
the country.
