BRYAN'S TREATY WITH
DENMARK WILL FAIL
National Honor Might Be Sub.
mitted to Arbitration by
IL, Says Committee.

WASHINGTON. March 25.-Secretary OF
Relations Committee to-day, was told In
effect that he could not hope to have the
committee report favorabiy the Danish
arbitration treaty unless II was materially
modified This was bitter news for Mr.
Bryan. who had regarded his treaty with
Denmark as the highest achievement of
his peace programme.
Secretary Bryan defended the treaty
against assault. but found an overwheim-
Ing sentiment among the members that
in their judgment the treaty goes much
further than should be permitted In a
policy OF international arbitration. II
practically requires the submission to ar
oitration OF any international dispute that
may arise with Denmark after a year has
elapsed. following a report by an interna-
tional commission. As the Senators on
the Foreign Relations Committee have
construed 1t II would require the submits
sion to arbitration OF issues OF vital inter-
est or OF national honor.
Senator Lodge called attention sorne
time ago to the fact that a serious cues.
ton might arise under the treaty II Den
mark should ever attempt to sci, the Dan.
lsh West Indies to any European Power In
violation Of our conception OF the Monroe
Doctrine AZ the treaty In drawn II would
oblige the United States to arbitrate such
a question.
me Secretary went away from the COM
niltt-e meeting feeling far from hopeful
as to the outlook The treaty with Den.
mark differed from others negotiated bv
Mr.. Bryan in that Il practically provides
Tor the arbitration OF all disputes. while
the other treaties contemplate merely n,
investigation and report on controversies.

WAsHfHoroN. March 25.-Ambassador
Pages own version of a speech he deliv-
cred at dinner in London two weeks ago,
for which he was sharply criticised by
members OF Congress- was transmitted to
the Senate and made public to-day by
Secretary of State Bryan. The Secre-
tary had been instructed by the terms Of
the Chamberlain resolution To obtain the
full text of the speech for the Senate.
Ambassador Page was most sharply
criticised for references made to the Pan
anna Canal construction and the Monroe
Doctrine. He was quoted as saying that
the United States was the more pleased
to have built the canal because the British
would profit most by IL and that the
United States preferred" that the Euro
pean Governments do not acquire any
more land in the Western Hemisphere.
While the full text of the Anbassado
speech shows that he was quoted with fair
accuracy by the newspaper reports and
did make approximately the statements
attributed to him. the context throws u
slightly different light upon his remarks
The speech bears throughout, however.

don't do that sort of thing any more.
They don't believe in repairing any
thing. They are all statesmen, and they
make 1t their business to convince YOU
that everything You own should go to
the junk yard, to make room for new
goods.
For years we had a trusty old
wooden pump in the cistern. I never
saw more respectable or conscien-
UOus pump Year after year it bore
the heat and burden of the day, always
ready for duty; but at last something
went wrong with its diaphragm, and
You called up the pump dealer, and he
sent one of his professors out here
ostenslbly to repair the old pump, but
really TO sell a new one. He glanced
contemptuously at that grand old pump
and said it was a relic of the dark
ages, and no man with any sense
would consent TO break his back and
dlslOcate his ribs working the handle
Of such a contrivance
Instead of half sOling the pump,
Mrs. Jamesworthy, he stood there with
an illustrated catalog in his hand, eX-
planned that his modern rotary pump
was the grandest and nOblest product
or human ingenuity. With such a
pump ali you needed to do when Won
wanted water was to turn the handle
few times and imagine you were
cranking your ten thousand dollar
touring car, and the water would gush
from the spout in a sparkling stream.
You gave me no rest, Mrs. James,
worth, until 1 had drawn my meagre
savings from the building and loan
and had bought the patent rotary
pump. 1 gave the old wooden pump to
