King Surrounded In Royal Palace
By Mobs Who Demand A Republic
Copenhagen, April 3—A huge nxob, estitnated at mpre than 40.000, started a great demonstration in front of the royal palace today, shouting:
"Down with the kingF" "Give us a republic," and singing the Marseillaise. Police and soldiers guarding the palace were unable to cope vrith the mob.
The demonstrators were led by radical workmen and socialists, viho have been active in working for a r^ublic since King Christian dismissed the cabinet of Premier Zahle.
Members of the town council joined in the demonstration. Earlier in the day they had memorialized the king, urging for¬ mation of a cabinet satisfactory to the socialists.
King Christian was in conference with his new ministry, headed by Otto Liebe tonight It was admitted the situation vras grave.
The Danish king precipitated the present crisis last Mon¬ day \^en he dismissed the cabinet headed by Premier C. T. Zahle. The action was unprecedented in Danish history. So¬ cialist workmen immediately demanded re-instatement of the Zahle ministry or threatened a general strike on April 6. King Christian refused.
Dismissal of the Zahle ministry was attributed to its fsulure to do its utmost in the recent piebescite in Schleswig, the second zone voting overwhelmingly in favor of Germany.
The socialists have threatened to proclaim a republic ever since the trouble started.

Asked what Miss Pickford's course of action would be, in case her divorce is set a-side. Benson »aid: "We wlli cross that bridge when we come to it. It is up to th.3 court to prove that Miss Pickford a divorce was obtained through fraud. Of course, she would do what any decent woman wouid do under the circumstances."
"Miss Pickford would have to live apart from Douglas Fairbanks, it the decree were set aside, would she not?" he was asked.
"I would hate to think such a question would ever arise. She be¬ lieves she has done the right thing and all she wants is to be happy".
Superior Judge Paul McCormick, former divorce trial judge, declared It was his opinion that tf Mary's di¬ vorce is declared to be void, her marriage to Fairbanks would be illegal.
