BRYAN MAKES CHANGE
IN HIS PEACE SCHEME
Submits His Proposal to Diplo-
matte Corps Without the Pro-
vision for Military Inactivity.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, April pa material
change In the Secretary of States pro-
gramme for negotiating his proposed
peace treaties with other powers was
made to-day, when Secretary Bryan pre-
scented his plan to the diplomatic corps
with view to having the subject SUD-
mitted to the foreign offices for consider
alton.
In the text outlining the plan 10 the
Foreign Relations Committee OF the SEN
ate was the provision that neither parry
shall utilize the period CT investigation 10
change its military or naval programme
but this feature, which was vigorously
criticised. was eliminated in the draft
presented to the foreign diplomats to-
day.
Secretary Bryan explained the elimina-
ton of the provision for military and
naval inactivity by saying he believed
such an arrangement would prove to be
a detail of the broad plan which could
be handled by the respective powers. He
intimated. however. that military and
naval inactivity of two disputants in any
controversy was contemplated by the gem
eral plan TOT universal pedce-t"e oDJSN'
Of the proposed treaties.
IL was announced by Secretary Bryan
that several Of the diplomats, whose
names he declined TO give, heartily
favored the general principle of the
scheme.
At an informal conference with news
paper men at the White House President
Wilson talked OF the subject in a general
way, indicating that the details would be
worked out by negotiation. The general
proposal he has in mind is that the con-
tracing nations should never go to war
over any dispute before there has been
an investigation of the facts involved.
The plan would not be TO bind the ma
tons TO abide by any decision OF the in
vestigation commission, but merely to eff
feet suspension Of judgment until inn
partial persons have looked into the cir
