The Danish elections _ were held on Thursda December 2nd,
when the Socialists, who have 11;1 office for two years, were defeated. They are now a minority of eight. In the Chamber before the solution they had, with the help of the Radicals, majority of four. It is a strange fact that the Social' vote has nevertheless slightly increased. The syste of Proportional Representation in force, in Denm has apparently made the difficulties of fair representatio worse than before. It will be remembered that t defeated Prime Minister, M. Stauning, proposed heroic scheme of Danish disarnament. He came the conclusion that Denmark would in any case be t weak to defend herself . against powerful neighbo and that therefore she had better abandon all attem to arm against outside enemies. The Times corresponde says that none of the proposed party combinations f, forming a new Government seems to be practieab and that the only solution may prove to be a non-pa Administration.
