Copenhagen, Apr. 10.
Germans and Danes are about to try to com- pose some of their möre acute differences over the rights of their respective minorities in Schleswig- Holstein, a land of mingled affiliations about which they have been quarrelling for centuries.
The negotiations, which started here at the end of February, are likely to drag through some weeks before any final decision is reached.
The German-Danish quarrel the five per cent clause which over Schleswig-Holstein arose was inserted to prevent small many years ago.

Berlin, Apr. 10.
West Berlin students of military age oppose West German rearmament even though they would be exempt from call-up.
