Scandinavian Countries in Con- troversy Over Title to Greenland v Copenhagen, Aug. 24.-—Denmark thought its title to Greenland was without blemish after the United Btates agreed to walve all claims to the Arctic island as part of the con- sideration in the purchase of the Dan- ish West Indies. But the interest of Norway in the land which “Eric the Red"” discovered has suddenly reviv- ed after centuries of inactivity. The controversy between the two Scan- dinavian countries over the ownership of the east coast of Greenland has be- come so acute that Denmark now has @& commission headed by former Min- ister Th. Zahle, traveling over the Arctic island for the purpose of mak- ing a report upon which negotiations with Norway miay be based. Many Danes think Norway is op- posing Denmark merely for the pur- pose of holding its claims upon Green- land as a club which can be used in forcing better terms out of Denmark in a new commercial treaty which is to be megotiated in the near future, The chief argument used by Norway is that its fisheries might be affected adversely by recognizing Danish sover- eignty over the eastern coast of Green- land. There are only about 12,000 inhabi- tants in Greenland, and of these only about 300 are Kuropeans, mostly Danes. The island is chiefly famous| as-a leaping off place for explorers in | search of the North Pole and as the | source of jcebergs which imperil ship- | pocinility Seen of Air Line Stretch: ping on the North Atlantic courses.| Its trade is & monopoly of the Danish ing Far state, which enforces prohibition.

Civic Leaders in Little s Town See Possibility of Having Roadway Parallel to Railway. Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 24.—An “Overseas Highway" paralleling the “Overseas Raflway” from Key West to the Florida mainland, a distance of approximately 125 miles, is a pos- sibility of the not distant future if plans of Key West civic leaders are carried out. They seek to supple- ment means of travel to and from the little eity which was entirely cut off from the mother state until the Florida East Coast railroad was com- pleted in 1912, ‘“ Plans already have progressed to the point of investigating the feasi- bility of the road, the committee that made the survey pronouncing the matter largely one of finances. A practical highway can be constructed over the distance, except for bridges, the committee reported, for approxi- mately $1,500,000 Recommendation that ferries be used over the stretches of open water until funds are avail- able for bridge building was made. Unless outside aid is rendered, however, construction of the road may be completed only in sections, owing to Monroe county's inability to bond itself above $500,000, A date early in September is being discussed as the time to vote on a bond issue to begin the work. The state highway department, at its last quarterly meeting, voted to give the prdject its assistance to the extent. of engineering advice. AROUND WORLD BY AR From India to the Fast.
