SECRETARY BRYAN'S
WARLIKE PRIVATE SEAL

THE diplomatic corps at Washington
has been smiling over Secretary
Bryan's choice Of a private seal: the Sec
rotary has been smiling with IT, al
though somewhat ruefully.
Every Secretary OF State, in addition
to the great seal of state. has private
seal which he affixes to documents when
desiring TO impress a personal ohara cter
to them, apart from their offici | nature,
much as one might write a presentation
In a book given to friend. Now. about
ten years ago. when Mr.. Bryan was in
Palestine. an ardent aduirer. sojoumng
there, presented him with "A coin dug
from Cavalry hill. which was authenti-
cally of the time Of Alexander the Great
On one side was the profile of a kng;
on the other was bird VIII ch Mr.. Il an
took to be a dove. On his return he
had the coin carefully cut in twain and
a pair of cum buttons made from the two
parts.
The day that he entered upon his du les
as Secretary of State he was informe a.
to the custom of the private seal Be
ing prominent advocate If peace it
occurred to him as being singularly ap-
propriate for him to have his coin cuH
button with the dove mounted as a seal,
which was accordingly done.
A short time ago most pacific treaty
WAS conciuueo between the United states
and San Domingo Ia accordance with
custom, Secretary Bryan sent copies OF
the treaty TO each of the foreign diplo-
mats In Washington. affixing his private
seal thereto and ing the att ion OF
the various ambassado and ministers To
the peaceful emblem of the dove, assur-
ing them that the emblem expressed his
most earnest sentiments.
Next day back came a note from the
British ambassador. Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, who is personally an intimate
friend OF Secretary Bryan. This is what
the note. after acknowledging the receipt
of the copy, said
II note, my dear Mr.. Secretary. what
you say about the dove. the emblem Of
peace. on your private seal. An at
tache OF mine, who Is an expert assures
me that this bird. which is authent cally
from a coin of the reign of Philip or
Alexander of Macedon, Is not only not a
dove and an emblem of peace. but g gray
eagle. hercest Of the breed, and was used
as a design by the fiery Macedoh an to
typify the warlike spirit that animated
that country.
