DANISH SENATE FAILS
TO RATIFY U.S.. TREATY
Bryan Learns of Final Blow Struck
Arbitration Agreement in Its
Present Form.
PROVISIONS ARE TOO SWEEPING

Unofficial advices received here yester-
day to the effect that the Danish senate
had refused to ratify the arbitration
treaty negotiated with that government
by Secretary Bryan were taken here as
constituting the final blow to the agree
ment in its present form. Members Of
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions this week informally notified Secre-
tary Bryan that he could not hope for
ratification OF the treaty in the United
States Senate.
Mr.. Bryan has received no Official dis
patches regarding the rejection OF the
treaty by the Danish upper house. and
learned of this action through newspa-
per correspondents.
The treaty with Denmark is unique,
and is a result of a combination of the
Bryan peace treaty with certain pro-
visions for arbitration. The effect is to
pledge the two governments to the arbi-
tration OF any dispute whatsoever. with
out any restrictions as TO vital interest.

known. He rented the big place called

Mr.. Wanamaker was mentioned at one

will grant him signal honor some day.

and ten years later President Fallieres
named him an officer in this distinguished
body.
Mr.. Wanamaker is now a resident OF
New York. but he is much interested in
Philadelphia. Recently he gave $4,000 to
that city for the benefit OF municipal en-
pIoyes who were injured in the discharge
of their duty. In New York he recently
gave 4 fine trophy to the New York
Public School Athletic League. His in
terest in aeroplanes dates back at least
to 1909. when he purchased Bleriot. In
1911 he gave an endurance trophy to an
air meet held at Nassau Boulevard, Long

intelligent tribe which had never seen

members of the expedition had to argue
long with the Indians before persuading
them that the white men we're no longer
