NO PLACE FOR WINE
ON BRYAN'S TABLE
Secretary Explains Failure tc
Follow Custom at Dinner to
Ambassador Bryce.

Washington. April 24-Comment
upon the substitution OF unfermcnted
grape juice for wine usually served
on such occasions, at n dinner given
TO diplomats Monday night by Secre-
tary and Mrs. Bryan in honor of Am
hassador Bryce. caused the secretary
TO issue statement to-day explain
ing the incident. In il Mr.. Bryan made
public for the first time the fact that
the question of how the 'teetotaler"
customs Of his house would be received
President Wilson before he accepted
his portfolio
The statement follows:
we did not intend to magnify by
mentioning il the Importance OF the
nonuse Of wine at the dinner given
tc Ambassador Bryce Monday night.
but as the papers have made some in
accurate references to the matter. the
facts might as well be known.
This was the first dinner which we
have given to members Of the diplo-
matte corps. and therefore the FIRST
time we came into conflict with the
social custom of serving wine at din
ner. The seven other amba ssadors
then in the city and their ladies were
invited TO meet Ambassador and Mrs
Bryce. and as all the gentlemen guests
present were from foreign countries
' thought IL proper TO explain to them
the reason for our failure to conform
to what seems to have been CUSTOMARY
in this matter. Believing that the is
sue should be met frankly In the he
ginning. ] told them when We sat down
30 the table that Mrs. Bryan and I had
been teetotalers from our youth. as were
our parents before us. and had nover
served liquor at our table: that when
the President was kind enough to ten
