DANES FREE PRISONERS
LONDON, Sept. 2. Danish guards at the Horseroed internment camp, north of Copenhagen allowed '412 Danish Communist prisoners, including several members of Parliament and prominent intellectuals, to escape. The Government, under German pressure, had interned the Communists since the outbreak of the Russian-German war. The Germans yesterday notified the Danes that they intended taking over. By nightfall all the prisoners had disappeared. The Danish Legation in Stockholm has broken off relations with Denmark "because constitutional government has ceased to exist there with the advent of the German military dictatorship."
