SUGGESTS PLAN FOR INSURlN0 PERMANENT PEACE THROUGH OUT THE WORLD BY SUBMIT THE GRIEVANCE TO BOARD.

Lincoln. Neb September 14.-A letter J. Bryan, in which plan for permanent peace is suggested. was made public here this evening. Mir Bryan congratulates the President on his success in bringing Rus sia and Japan together, and says:
 "Why not ask Congress for authority to submit all international questions (when agreement cannot be reached by parties interested) to an impartial board for investigation and report Investigation will in nearly every case remove the cause of complaint and reconcile the parties Questions which nation might be unwill- ing to submit to arbitration in advance could be settled by investigation in an im- partial board
 Tt was a glorious thing to end the war between the Russians and Japanese. but 1t would have been more glorious to have prevented the war, and saved the fright ful loss of life. The moral prestige which our nation now enjoys would in all prob ability enable it to lead a successful peace movement The congratulations which y7u have received from the hands of Euro pean government strengthen the chances of success. If the leading nations of the world would enter into an agreement to join in the creation of such a board and pledge themselves to submit all disputes to the board for investigation before de- claring war, danger of war would be re- duced to minimum. Few men have had 1t in their power to do so much for hu- manity Will you improve the opportun- Iity? WILLIAM J. BRYAN"
