ENGLISH WELCOME
DENMARK'S RULERS
Welcomed in London by King and
Queen of England—Salute* Fired
by Fort*.
LONDON, May 14.—The king and
queen of Denmark arrived in Lon
don this morning on a four days
state visit to King George. The roy
al visitors, who were accompanied by
Foreign Minister Scanenius, crossed
the North Sea on the Danish royal
yacht Dannebrog, escorted by Danish,
and British warships, and landed at
Queenboro last night amid the thun
der of salutes from the warships and
forts.
After the formal reception by the
British naval and military command
ers, the royal party traveled by spe
cial train to London, where, at Vic
toria station they were welcomed by
King George, Queen Mary, Queen
Alexandria, the Prince of Wales, and
other royalties, the Danish minister
and legation staff, and a host of bril
liantly uniformed officials, cabinet
mniisters, etc.
The. Danish national anthem was
played as the train drew up at the
platform, and a guard of honor of
the Grenadier Guards presented arms.
King George, out of compliment to
his guests, was in the uniform of a
Danish admiral crossed with the rib
bon of a Danish order, and King
Christian wore British naval uniform.
He had no British order but King
George intends remedying this dur
ing the next few days by making
him a knight of the Garter.
iFamily greetings were followed by
a round of presentations, after which
the royal party and court officials
entered the waiting state carriages
and drove, escorted by glittering
troopers of the Life Guards to Buck
ingham Palace, where the Danish
visitors are to stay until tomorrow.
The route from the station was lined
by troops and great crowds gave
them an enthusiastic welcome. King
Christian is first cousin to King
George, and the nephew of Queen
Mother Alexandra, and at the con
clusion of the state visit, the Danish
monarch and his consort will put in
a couple of days incognito at Marl
borough House, as Queen Alexandra’s
guests.
Among the official festivities ar
ranged ia their honor are a gala per
formance at Covent Garden opera
house on Monday night and luncheon
with the Lord Mayor at the Guildhall
on Tuesday, followed by a state ban
quet and ball at the palace.
MERE CHILDREN
ARE DRUG RENDS
ST. PETERSBURG, May 14.--That
whole districts in the Amur terri
tory are morphiamad, and that even
children are dope fiends, was the
statement made by Dr. Starokotlit
sky, lecturing before the medical so
ciety of Blagovostchenck. Children
acquired the dope habit, he said, be
fore reaching their teens, and the
villages were populated by morphia
maniacs. In one jail out of every
1,000 prisoners, 300 were dope fiends,
and the same proportion applied to
the hospitals.
A large number or morphia ciubs
existed in Blagovostchenck, and it
was a common sight to see morphia
maniacs making injections in the
open streets. The use of cocaine
also was declared to be general.
Official statistics also show that
96 per cent of the boys and 95 per
cent of the girls at school in the
province of Veronjsky are in the
hahjt of drinking intoxicants. Chil
dren of seven and eight frequently
become drunk, the boys preferring
spirits and beer, and the girls red
wine and beer. Strong measures are
being made to stamp out alcoholism
among the children.

SENTENCED TO JAIL
MUNICH, May 14—The Bavarian
District court has sentenced the
mayor of Partenkirche, a large town
of the Bavarian Alps, together with
the entire town council, to jail for
libelling a young woman teacher in
the schools there. The mayor was
given three Jdays I in jail (and the
members of the council each two
days. All have appealed. ( If the
higher courts sustain the sentence,
the town, which is an important
summer resort, will be' without gov
ernment 'for several days. The trou
ble arose out of derogatory remarks
made by the mayor and councilmen
in a row with the teacher as to the
house which the town has to fur
nish her while engaged as teacher.
