DANES WE'RE ALSO HERE /
They Played an Important Part in
Early Discoveries and Colonization.

Very few people realize that Den:
mark had an important part in the
early explorations sof America. AS
early as 1919, Christian ~. of Den
mark sent out two vessels under the
leadership of Jens Munk to discover
the northwest passage to india Cap
tain Munk, by the way was a Nor
wegian. The vessels entered Hud-
son bay and the land was taken in
possession for the Danish crown and
named Nova Dania. Accompanying
the expedition was the Rev. Rasmus
Jensen Aarlus, the first Lutheran
clergyman to hold services in America.
The expedition came to grief in Hud-
son bay and Munk was forced to re-
turn with only two members of his
crew.
There was a Danish colony in New
Amsterdam as early as 1924, but the
most successful of the Danish colonies
were those planted in the West Indies
in 1850, and which still are part of
the kingdom.

The Secret of American Success.

s AmeriCanS are often inclined to
think that they have been successful
regardless of circumstances, but as a
matter of fact it is result of large
number of causes, many of them aris-
ing in foreign countries. Our strong
point has been in always being ready
to seize every opportunity. That is
our strong point both as individuals
and as a nation. The way to keen
ready is to use golden grain belt beer
and thus keep our physical condition
perfect and our minds active and
fresh. You will enjoy a case Of this

Discussing Charles D. Kellogg's aston

well as marvellous. From his throat came
notes that no bird could equal in sweetness

who can initiate the birds, but this young

the formation OF his throat, which is moth

BASEBALL PEACE
 MAY FALL THROUGH Considerable Dissatisfaction in Some of National Clubs MAY NOT RATlFY TREATY August Hermann, President of the Gin cinnati Club, Says If Peace Is Not
 Effected He Will Quit the
 National League.
MAY NOT RATIFY TREATY

Cincinnati. January 13.-When the con ferees of the National and American Baseball leagues adjourned here last Sat urday night, nothing was heard but de- clarations of peace The National con- ferees were as confident as the Ameri- can, although the former did not have plenipotentiary power The spell was un- broken until midnight when John T. Bush, at Indianapolis. was heard from regarding the dissatisfaction of the New York club. On Sunday there were ru- mors from the Brooklyn club, on Monday from the Boston club and today from the Philadelphia club, the two latter not being regarded as serious.
 If the four eastern clubs should hold out next Monday against the Pittsburg Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis clubs the result would be a tie. which is held to be the same as a negative vote
 Barney Dreyfus Not Authorized.
 When it was announced on Saturday night that the agreement, then reached was practically final, it was thought that Barney Dreyfus was here representing Philadelphia as well as Pttsburg, but Colonel Rogers and other Philadelphia in- terests are reported now as saying Drey- fus had no power to bind them. It was thought that the vote ratification next Monday would never be less than five to three and most probably six to two. as no opposition was expected from Bos- ton. What is taken now to be a most significant declaration is that made by Hanlon. who says:
 "The peace agreement cannot be ratified by majority vote of National league club owners under the National leagues constitution"
 Notwithstanding the adverse reports that are current. Hermann and Robin son say they are still confident that the National league next Monday will ratify the agreement.
 Soden of Boston is counted on as for ratification

league he would get out of the Ma tional.
 J. E. Bruce, attorney for President Ban Johnson of the American league. and partner of Hedges and others in the St. Louis American team, said if the National league did not ratify the peace compact that the Cincinnati club would be taken care of.
 If New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston should refuse to enter Into the agreement. it is said there will be a split in the National league, which will result in the owners desiring peace with the American league on the basis agreed upon of Joining hands with the American, and completelys severing all connection with that branch of the National repre- sented by the objectng faction. The plan suggested by President Johnson of a ten-club circuit might be carried out by having the western circuit made up of Cincinnati.

deficient in the graces of speech His voice was harsh and his articulation was halting. And yet whr1 Le addressed the cortes or a political meeting he car rled all before him by the impression of absolute sincerity, by his logic, by his unvarnished truths, and by he flow of gentle sarcasm or biting irony with which he punctuated his periods. By his own partisans, as well as his opponents, Senor Sagasta was looked upon as a tricky politician. He was turned out of office by King Amadeo for using public funds for election purposes and none but skilled politician could have manipulated political groups so as to obtain and retain office so often. He showed political courage more than once notably in 1895, in refusing to yield to the demands of a mob of army officers, and in the last days of Queen Cristina's s regency he ordered the suppression of religious orders that were not authorized by law. At the end, owing to this long public service, he had come to be looked upon as the one man who could still do something for Spain. and his aims since the war certainly were not political but directed to the almost hopeless task or holding the nation together.
 When the news of the victory of Ad- miral Dewey reached him he said:
 'The fortune of war went against us We must reserve all our strength, all our energy, for the morrow"
 When the war was over he struggled hard to retain any possible advantage for Spain, and yielded reluctantly and under protest
 When he knew that the loss of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines was in- evitable the old man said, with high courage and a wisdom that showed his full realization of what it is on which a nations strength is based:
 Spain will again become an important factor among the great powers. We shall work energetically to reconquer our po- sition by means of good administration, which is the basis of wealth. Internal reform will, be the basis of my pro- gramme and of every leader true to Spain.
 His enemies, as we'll as his friends, al- ways credited him with subtlety, ener- getic resourcefulness and tact. Besides these qualities, he stood almost alone in Spanish political life as of strict per sonal honesty. While other men of the Weyler type were plundering the gov ernment, Sagasta though in office near ly all his life, remained a poor man.
