DENMARK CONSIDERS FREE TRADE POLICY. aiORKKIMOCOLONY

COPENHAGEN, April 22. The

, agree whether the Eskimos of that : far northern land shall be allowed to have free trade -with all nations. I j . King Christian is to visit Greenland in June, the first time a Danish king lias ever visited that colony, and the , commission hopes to reach an agree- ; ment in time to enable him to anpounce the new plan of government when he is greeted by the Eskimos. I , Condemns Monopoly, s" A well-known Greenland explorer, who is not a member of ithe commission, told the correspondent that one section of the commission was holding ' out for free trade between the Greeri- ' land Eskimos and the nationals of all

INSIDE STORIES (Continued from Page One) police lorry containing a district inspector and nine constables at Glenwood Belvoir, killing all but four who escaped. Twenty of the attackers, it is stated, were armed with rifles and ten with double-barrelled shottruns.

They were concealed on one side of a road near a stream. , "As in a previous ambush," the commander reports, "the main body was divided into three parties. The position which , was occupied at 7 a. m., was not very favorable, but we counted on the element of surprise and . the concentrated fire of 15 of the rifles and the, ten shotguns in the first volley to

make up for shortcomings and in this we were successful.'

They,, waited, it appears, until four o'clock in the afternoon before the lorry came in . sight. . "When the car came into the center position," the report continues, "It was raked with the fire of the 24 guns, most of the polico were shot off and the car came to a dead stop. Some of 'the police when they got on the road made an attempt to put up a fight, but the secocnd vol ley, which included all the rifles, wiped them out. Risky Operation

"What is termed "an exceedingly risky operation as we were half the enemy strength" was the attack in County Donegal on a military train from Derry. According to the brigade commander's report the attacking party numbered 26. Information was leceived at 9:30 at night, the report says, that the special train was to leave Derry at 3 a. m., the next morn

ing. "Little time was left, to choose a position and get settled, but the train was late, giving us three-quarters of an hour to eet ready.. We chose a cut

ting, one side of which was on a level with the carriage windows. At the ends of each side we placed bombers and riflemen and between were placed the remaining riflemen and the others differently armed. Two

large boulders were placed on the rails and the wire fences at each side were pulled up to afford a safe exit. The station building a short distance . away was taken possession of and a green light displayed. "There were seven carriages on the train and it was travelling at a great speed when it struck the stones. Hurl Bombs "Fire was opened up from both sides and bombs were hurled through the windows. The ' fire was returned from the cab of the engine, where a

Lewis gun was m position. Our riflemen at the rear end of the train got down on the line for enfilading fire,

but after about ten minutes, I ' was

forced to order a retreat to effect the safe escape of our men. Eight bombs were thrown, two of which we are cer

tain landed in carriages.

In the retreat one of our two

parties was surrounded twice but fought its way through on each occasion. One of our men is missing and we believe he has fallen into the

hands of the enemy. No other casualties were suffered on our side and, despite their denial, we have every rea

son to believe tnat at least ten men

were either killed or wounded on the!

enemy side." m
