Neither England Nor Germany
Anxious for Little Nation to
Join War.-
By CHARLES P. STEWART.
LONDON, Jan. 27. AVar rumblings
nay disturb Sweden at pres.ent. but
Denmark pretty cortaljiV I Kolng to
lecp out of this war. She wants l
l:cop out, and both Germany and.Enp
land want the same thing. This much
is gleaned from conversations with
official In Copenhagen and well In
formed personu here today.
If Denmark lights at all. It must
be with the allies. She lost SchleswlR
Holstein tp Germany nftytwo veara
ago, and has hated tho Germans ever
flnce. But Germany could cross the
Imaginary line separating the two
countries and overrun Donmaj-k with
in a short time. Hence Denmark can
not aToid to fight.
On the other hand, Germany has not
beon anxious -to Invade Denmark. Tho
Germans receive considerable quantities
of supplies through Denmark's neutral
ports, despite tho British blockade. They
realise that England would blockade
these ports If occupied by Germans.
Furthermore, Germany does not want to
Increase her troubles by conquering
Denmark and making it necessary to
defend Denmark's long . ahoro lino
against posslblo landings by the allies,
England gets large stores of food
Muffs from the Danes. If Denmark en
tered the war and was ocupled by Ger
man troops this source if supply for
tho British Isles would be cut off.
It is understood that a tacit agree
ment exists by which Denmark divides
her foodstuffs between the Germans and
the English, without objection by
either. In evidence of this fact. It is
cited here that no Danish ship carrying!
food supplies to England nas ever been
torpedoed. Swedish and Norwegian
ships have been blown up and so have
Danish ships with cargoes other than
food.
