BRYAN ADMITS DEFEAT
OF DENMARK treaty
Says Another Pact Will Be Concluded,
Which Will Exclude Disposition of
West Indies from Arbitration.
NEW DRAFT ALREADY PREPARED

Secretary OF State Bryan yesterday &C.
knowledged the defeat OF his favorite
scheme for the establishment Of a modsl
arbitration treaty with the kingdom OF
Denmark whereby every possible ques-
ton of international disagreement, even
including the very delicate one of ma
tional honor and the equally complex one
Of vital interest" were 10 have oeen
submitted to arbitration.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Bryan had pre-
pared such a convention with the Danish
Minister and signed it. but when it was
submitted to the Senate there was a balk
1t was noticed by the Senators that in
formulating such a convention with Den
mark the exceedingly important question
of Denmarks insular possessions in the
West Indies had been entirely forgotten
Here was a question which might cause
Secretary of State that if at any time
Denmark should decide to dispose Of the
Danish West Indies to some European
power and the United States should raise
an objection, arbitration would be called
in to decide the question of whether or
not the Monroe doctrine would stand as
principle of International law. The
Senate refused favorably to consider
such a treaty.
Yesterday Mr.. Bryan announced that
he had concluded treaty with Denmark
along lines similar to those previously
concluded with other nations. nearly sim
liar to that recently signed with the
Netherlands. This treaty Mr.. Bryan said
provided. as does its fellows. for the in
vestigation by an international court OF all
questions arising between the United
States and the other signatories except
such questions as inv olive the national
honor or vital interest" Further. he
said that another treaty Of arbitration
would. doubtless. be concluded with Den
mark shortly which would supplement
yesterdays instrument although it would
have to contain some reference by which
the question of the disposition of the
Danish West Indies should be excluded
from arbitration.

He began by declaring that despite the

no enmity against the Hungarians. as
Russia sees in them only a nation in
Germanys leading strings. Then he con-
tinued:

Count Bobrinsky then spoke of the
treaty with Russia which
will come up for renewal in 1917, and
asserted that during the japanese war
Germany took advantage of Russia's diff

these words:

PARIS SAYS SPEED
EXHAUSTED GERMANS

Paris, Sept. 10.-The German prog.
ress seems To have been too rapid and
too precipitate In its eagerness to get
to the gates of Paris, for they arrived
out of breath and to all appearances
out of ammunition, which may ex-
plain why they did not pursue their
original plan.
All prisoners, of whom 800 or more
have just arrived in Paris. appear
tagged and harassed and the spirit OF
the army seems to be everything that
is different from the conquerors who
pushed back the army OF defense from
the frontier and reached the gates OF
the capital In ten days.
Whether they hoped to gain time
by a tangent movement away from
Paris, or as some military critics sup
posed, aimed to effect junction with
the army OF the crown prince, which
was to come from the direction OF
Longwy, the developments of the last
four days prove that 1t was grave
error.
