STATE OF EMERGENCY
Six Danish Cities LONDON. August 24. Four thousand German soldiers, with tanks and armoured vehicles, completely occupied Copenhagen, says a message from Stockholm. The Germans have also proclaimed a state of emergency in six Danish cities as a result of sabotage strikes and riots between Danes and German soldiers, in which at least 50 deaths have occurred before the occupation. The Danish radio announced that an explosion which was heard throughout the city wrecked the Forum Hall in Copenhagen. The glass roof and most of the circular walls collapsed. The Forum Hall is the largest in Copenhagen and has a capacity for 16.000 persons.
