Dear Miss Grey: We are

sought jobs at other mills. MANY of
these. II Is stated, have returned and
asked To be re-employcd, finding that
they were earning as much or more
here than could bc obtained else

The walk-out was the result of u
change of pattern of certain fancy
weaves ut reduction of 3 cents on
the piece, as the operatives contcndcd.
IL develops that the mill had no cs-

Matter.

Washington, April 24.-Secretary
Bryan's plan for international peace
agreements was submitted to the dip
lomatic corps today with practically
every ambassador and minister in
Washington present. The diplomats
had assembled at the state depart
ment upon the secretary's invitation to
hear the proposal explained.
Later in the day President Wilson
made known his views on the plan at
an informal conference with news
paper men at the White House.
The president talked of the subject
in a general way, indicating that the
details would be worked out by ne
gotiation. The general proposal he
has in mind is that the contracting ma
tions should never go to war over any
dispute before there has been an in
vestigatiOn of facts involved. The
plan would be not to bind the nations
to abide by any decision of the inves-
tiSators, but merely to effect a sus-
pension Of judgment until impartial
persons looked into the circumstances
at issue.
AS originally submitted to the SEN
ate foreign relations committee the
draft Of the plan contained sentence
bearing upon the suspension Of war.

investigation, but this was stricken
from the copy distributed formally to
members of the diplomatic corps to-
day. The presidents explanation of
the omission was that it was deemed
advisable to eliminate details at this
point and questions to be determined
by negotiations by each particular ma
ton.

plaf. of limiting armaments is feasible

TELLS OF WINELESS DINNER
BRYAN EXPLAINS WHY DIPLON.
ATTIC RECEPTION WAS \
"DRY" AFFAIR.
cabinet Officer Says He and Prcsi-
dent Have Arrived at Under
standing as to Customs.

Washington, April 24.-Comment
upon the substitution of unfermented
grape juice for wine usually served
on such occasions, at a dinner given
to diplomats Monday night by Sec
retary and Mrs Bryan in honor of
Ambassador Bryce caused the secre-
tary to issue a statement today ex-
planning the incident. In it Mr.. Bry-
an made public for the first time the
fact that the question of how the tee
total customs Of his; house would
received in official circles was
cussed with President Wilson
he accepted his portfolio. g.
The statement follows: -
I'VE did not intend to ma.
mentioning it, the Importance
nOn-use of wine at the dinner gwen
to Ambassador Bryce Monday night,
but as the papers have made some in
accurate reference to the matter the
fact might as well be known.
This was the first dinner which
we have given to members of the
diplomatic corps, and therefore the
hrst time when we came into conflict
with the social customs Of serving
wine at dinner. The seven other am
bassadors then in the city and their
ladies were invited to meet Ambassa-
dor and Mrs. Bryce and as all the gen.
tlemen guests present were from for
eign countries 1 thought it 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 issue should be
met frankly in the beginning, l told
them, when we sat down to the table
that Mrs. Bryan and | had been tee
totalers from our youth, as were our
parents before us, and had never
served liquors at our table; that when
the president was kind enough to ten
der me the portfolio of state asked
him whether our failure to serve wine
would be any embarrassment to the
administration and he generously left
the matter to our discretion.
Il suggested that l thought it un-
lair to assume that those coming to
us from abroad would judge us harsh
ly, as being unwilling to tolerate the
maintenance of a traditional custom.
and expressed the hope that our
friendship would be made so appar-
ent to them and our hospitality SO
cordial that they would overlook this
weakness in us, if they regarded it as
a weakness My remarks were ap-
plauded by the company, and we
never spent a more enjoyable even
ing.
That is all there to to the matter
and we can consider the incident
closed and the custom established so
far as we are concerned"
