GERMANS ENVOY
CALLS ON BRYAN
Talk of Peace Renewed After
Visit to Secretary Won
Bernstorf.

Washington, t.-s6.[-The call = OF
Count Won Bernstroff, the German am
bassador, at the state department yes
terday, where he conferred for half
an hour with Secretary Bryan,
aroused much speculation in diplomat
ic circles here Monday night as to the
possibility that further efforts had
been set in motion by the administra-
tion, indirectly, at least, to bring about
peace in Europe. Neither the secre-
tary nor the ambassador would dis
cuss the purpose of the visit although
it is known that the diplomat made a
special trip from New York in re-
sponse to a telegram sent by Mr..
Bryan.
He left the secretary's room bur
dened with copies of peace convention
treaties negotiated by Mr.. Bryan with
various 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 continued en-
tirely to a discussion OF these various
treaties and that the European war
was mentioned only in passing, if at
all 1t was regarded here as signif-
cant however, that Secretary Bryan
should undertake negotiations looking
TO the inclusion of Germany among
the nations with whom the United
States peace convention at this time,
when that country is engaged in war.
Such a treaty would commit the
German government to a recognition
of the propriety and reasonableness of
dealing with international issues by
peaceful means, it was pointed out and
the suggestion was not lacking that an
motive for the administra-
tion's effort might be the desire to
smooth the way at this moment for
the conference that must in the end
terminate the war in Europe.
Negotiations of a similar nature al
ready have been opened with Japan.
1t was argued here that should both
Japan and Germany sign peace trea |
ties with the United States, joining
the great array of powers already I,
bound by such agreements the way |
would be opened for the next step. an |
invitation to these powers to regard |
peace treaties originally negotiated |
between each of them and the United |
States. as binding upon them, general |
ly with respect to each.

OPERATION CURES
JEANNETTED dunno
Child of Governor Now Able t.
to Romp as Other Children
for First Time.

Chicago. Ill, Oct, 6.-Little Jeanette
from her bed in st. Luke's hospital
Sunday night and romped away from
her invalid days-the only sort of days
she has known in her II years of life.
A taxicab hurried her to the railroad
station (she could have walked there
herself, or run for that matter) and
train carried her away toward Spring
field and the executive mansion, her
fathers home.
Two months ago, when Jeanette was
taken to the hospital, her spine was
crooked and weak. Because of it she
had never been able to join in the play
of other children. Worse than that,
there had been no hope that she would
be different in future.
Governor Dunno heard one day of a
remarkable operation performed by
DR.. John L. Porter of st. Luke's hos
pital. in which a splinter of bone was
taken from the legof child Jeanette's
age and similarly afflicted, and trans
planted into her spine. Whereafter, it
was reported, the child was perman-
emily cured.
Dr. POrler, at lle governor request,
looked at Jeanette. He said her case
was almost identical with that he had
cured. So Jeanette went to st. Luke's
and the operation was performed. That
was six weeks ago. From the mo-
ment she was wheeled out of the op-
Grating room Jeanette has been i'm
proving, and now her spine is as
and strong as that OF any
little girl.
And today at Springfield, Jeanette is
going to start to learn how to play.

Casualties within the town were
confined to the execution of % Yaquis
captured during the night in a sortie-

patrol warned the besiegers and the
besieged against shooting across the

telegram to the president:
we and all American citizens of
this border town respectfully and earn

adequate protection of the lives of our
families and ourselves from the bat
tie between the Mexican factions now
engaged in this vicinity on Mexican
soil.

Constitutionality of Act

Springfield. Ill, Oct. 6.-The su-

OF being paid over in part by the clerks

there is distinct tendency to op-
timism regarding the nature OF the
revelations.
Victory for one side or the other
along the Russian frontier is of i'm
portance and the battle impending
there may mark the climax of the
war. If the Russians win il will COM
pei the Germans to divert some of
their western armies in that direction
and flank movements by the allies
would become crushing attacks which
would crumple up the German lines.
On the other hand, if the Russians are
victims of a reverse some veteran Ger
man corps may be released for service
in the west and the Germans may
pierce the numerically inferior allied
line.
That the allies in France for the
moment possess greater mobility than
their foes seems indicated by news
that they have been able to raid Ger
man lines Of communication. cut rail-
