spoke falling in some degree upon
him. Had she finished? Was this all?

Mr.. Challoner shuddered. This was
like the reopening of his daughters
grave. But he had entered upon the
scene with full appreciation of the
ordeal awaiting him and he did not
lose his calmness, or the control of
his judgment.

ed, taking chair himself. you have
described the spot and some of the
circumstances of my daughters death
as accurately as if you had been there.
But you have doubtless read full &C

possibly seen pictures which would
make the place quite real to you. The
mind is a strange storehouse. We do
not always know what lies hidden
within it."

get her full attention, he waited till

! tee, democrats and republicans, were
opposed to the idea of the UnitSd
States binding itself by international
agreement not to prepare for war for
a specified time while dispute was in
progress, which is one feature of Mr..
Bryan's plan. The secretary said he
would confer with President Wilson,
and later make public statement.
Briefly, Secretary Bryan's plan, as
he outlined it, is that the United
States should make treaties under
which disputes, even those involving
national honor" or vital interests,
would be submitted to an interna-
tional tribunal for inquiry and that
the disputing countries should agree
to take no steps whatever toward
preparation for war within a specifi-
ed time, six months or year.

position was not fully disclosed to the
committee. Secretary Bryan intimat-
ed, however, that one or two foreign
powers viewed the plan with favor.
The details of Secretary Bryan's
plan were not passed upon and mem
bers of the committee indicated that
the senate would reserve its full au-
thority to pass on every feature of
the international agreements if any
we're perfected by the Wilson admin
istration.
The basis idea of a proposed sys-
tenn of treaties, as Secretary Bryan
outlined it to the committee today,
is that all international disputes be
first submitted to committee of in
quiry and that the report of the COM
mission be made public before the
countries would be at liberty to pro-
ceed to war.
