DANISH WRITER FOR GERMANY
Karin Michaelis, the eminent Danish novelist, recently wrote
to the Zcit of Vienna a letter condemning the hatred of every-
thing German with which the Danes have been innoculated and
in which the younger generation has been reared to manhood.
She calls attention to the widespread welcome which Germany
and Austria have always extended to the intellectual contribu-
tions of Denmark, and how Germany has always received the
Danes with open arms. She declares that she has never, during
many and protracted visits to Germany and Austria, discovered
the slightest tendency of barbarism in the German nation. On
the contrary, there is no nation on earth which is at bottom so
tender and sympathetic.
“I wish," writes Karin Micliaelis, “that these lines might reach
the eyes of all for whom they possess an interest as a sincere
tribute from one who, while Germany is called a nation of bar-
barians, would be proiid of the title."
