A SECOND HAGUE CONFERENCE.
Germany Had Planned Call When
President Roosevelt Spoke.

A cablegram from London last night says:
Sir Thomas Barclay. who has been prom1-
nently identified with the movement for es-
tablishing amity between nations, informed
the Associated Press today that the Ger
man government had under consideration
the calling of another conference to extend
the scope of The Hague convention prior
to President Roosevett's announcement Of
his desire to take action in 4hsst direction. -
There Is thus little diaiculty,'' Sir Thomas
said, about the adoption of the proposal
of President Roosevelt. Y OH will remember
that Count Won Buelow stated in the reich
stag couple of years ago that it was the
intention of Germany to call a conference,
and recent correspondence We have had
with the German authorities shows the mat
ter is being considered. There is, therefore,
a possibility of either, the American. and
German governments calling a conference
jointly or that one will give way to the
other. If all the nations will accept the
proposal 1t viii be one ofsthe greatest things
America has DONE"
