PEACE PRIZE FOR ROOSEVELT
Bryan May Be Next In Line. Owing -
Recent Attitude.

Recent Attitude.
1t is stated unofhcially that Presi.
dent Roosevelt is to receive the Nobel
prize in recognition of his services in
ending the Russian war. Tho
formal announcement of the reward
will be made by the king Of Sweden
on December 10.
Swedish papers are also discussing
the possibilities of Col. William Jen-
nings Bryan receiving an award Of the
Nobel prize In the future because of
his efforts and speeches in favor Of
peace at the Interparllmeatary con-
gress In London. 1t is admitted that
the amendments which he offered
have gone farther toward doing away
with the possibilities Of war between
the great nations than any effort In
recent years. Some Of the publica-
tions which take an interest In the
prize say that Mr.. Byran's amend.
ments in favor of peace will have q
greater direct effect upon the future
OF nations than Mr.. Roosevelt's
gracious actions leading up to the
Russo-Japanese settlement at Ports.
