STRAUS AT OYSTER BAY
DENIES PEACE MISSION
Visit to Colonel Roosevelt Merely
Social, He Saws.

OYSTER BAY, Sept. 1i.-Oscar Straus.
who has been active for the past few days
for peace by mediation, called at oyster
Bay with Mrs. Straus, and had luncheon
with Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt.
While Mr.. Straus Insisted that his visit
was entirely social, the fact that he called
upon the Colonel in the thick of Mr..
Straus' activities for peace, caused COM
ment
My visit to Sycamore Hill Is simply
and purely a social one. Mr.. Straus and
myself are old friends of Colonel and
Mrs. Roosevelt" said Mr.. Straus.
Asked if the call did not have some
relations with Mr.. straus' apparent efforts
within the past few days, and was made
in an effort to enlist the former President
in the cause of peace mediation, he re-
piled:
absolutely not. I am not here for that
purpose"
Mr. Straus when asked If. irrespective of
his visit. it could be assumed he was try
ing TO get Mr.. Roosevelt to enter the peace
movement, he insisted 1t was not fair to
make any such inference. He simply re-
fused to discuss it.
Colonel Roosevelt also refused to dis
cuss the Straus visit
The Kaiser has at various times shown
his friendship for Colonel Roosevelt by
sending him letters. autographed books |
and photos.
