ambassador. at the State Department.
to-day, where he conferred for half
an hour with Secretary Bryan. aroused
here tc-night as to the possibility that
fui thcr efforts had been set lin motion
by the administration. indirectly. at
least, to bring about peace In Europe
Neither the secretary nor the ambas-
sador would discuss the purpose OF the
visit, although it is known that the
diplomat made special "trip from New
YORK in response to a egraphic2r re-
quest sent by Mr.. Bryan. He left the
secretary's room burdened with copies
OF peace commission treaties negotiated
by Mr.. Bryan byvarious countries, and
. Is understood to have been asked to
forward these promptly to Berlin
The treaties are typical Of all the
peace conventions upon which Mr..
Bryan has been at work, although
they differ somewhat in: detail There
was every reason to believe that the
conference was confined entirely to
discussion of these various treaties,
and that the European war was men
toned only In passing. II at all.
1t was regarded here as Significant,
however. that Secretary Bryan should
undertake negotiations looking to the
iiiciuSion OF Germany among the ma
tions with whom the United States has
made peace conventions at this time
when that country is engaged in war
Such treaty would commit the Ger
man government to. recognition of
the propriety and reasonableness Of
dealing with international issues by
peaceful means. it was pointed out, and
the suggestion was not lacking to-
night that an underlying motive for
the administrations effort might be
the desire to smooth the way at this
moment for the conference that must
in the end terminate, the war in Eu-
rope.
Negotiations of similar nature al
ready have been opened with Japan.
1t was argued here that, should both
Japan and Germany sign peace treat
les with the United States, the way
would be opened for the next step, an
invitation to these powers to regard
peace treaties originally negotiated be-
tween each of them and the United
States az binding upon them generally
with respect to each other.
Although this project can be regarded
as scarcely having passed the stage of
speculation, negotiations with Ger
many and Japan will; be watched by
officials here with sclosest interest,
because of their possible bearing upon
the broader questions of the restoration
of peace in Europe.
