-From Tle Tribune Bure,u

Washington, Nov. 26 Hope is be
ing expressed I'm unofficial quarters
here that renewed efforts by Pres dent
Wilson to bring about peace in the

visit TO be made 10 the White House
next week by Henry van Dyke, Amer
ican Minister TO the Netherlands. Mr.
van Dyke will confer with the Presi-
dent on Monday, and although the
things that he will lay before Mr.. Will
son have not been revealed there is
reason for believing that he will pre-
sent concrete suggestions for the
bringing about of European peace.
According 10 reports here, Mr.. van
Dyke will deliver personal communl-
cation from Queen Wiihelmina of Hol-
land 10 President Wilson suggesting
a plan whereby all neutral powers who
have taken part in the Hague confer
ence may get together on joint pro-
posal for peace.
Considerable weight is also placed
here on the arrival in New York Of
p. A. Ostberg. who, it is said, has come
10 this country as the personal envoy
of King Gustav with substantive sug-
gestions for a joint peace proposal by
the neutral nations.
Whether President Wilson will con
tinue 20 hold aloof from any further
peace proposals depends, it IS under
stood. on the information that will be
supplied by Mr.. van Dyke.
Secretary Bryan declares he knows
nothing about any contemplated fresh
tender Of friendly Offices by the United
States. He says nothing has devel-
oped." lie is known, however, to be
hopeful that the United States will play
an important part in a settlement Of
