BERLIN, July 27.-Representative Bar
tholdt of ST. Louis, who has run over from
The Hague to have talk with the Berlin
authorities. is highly pleased with the dis
position of Germany's official representa-

discussion. From the way Mr.. Bartho.dt
speaks one would almost think that the
kaiser is willing to join the nations in a
pledge not to go to war with any one
whomsoever for period of thousand
years.
Mr Bartholdt speaks gratefully Of the en-
courage ment given by President Roosevelt
