BRYAN UNDECIDED ON
WAR ZONE PROPOSAL
South American Countries Would Have
1t Exclude Western Hemisphere
from Future Operations.

Secretary Bryan said yesterday just be-
fore leaving for a brief speaking trip
in the West. that no decision has yet
been made on the proposals Of several
South American governments that the
United States lead a joint movement
seeking to bring about a delimitatIon of
the zone OF war operations in the West
ern Hemisphere.
1t is not expected any decision will be
communicated to the South American
governments until next week. after the
return of President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan TO Washington.
Though several propositions were sub
mitted to the United States government
by the southernmost South American
countries, that one relating to the estab-
lishIRent Of a neutral zone about the
Western Hemisphere is regarded as the
most important It is regarded as the
one most difficult to carry into efect,
involving. as 1t does. the bringing OF Ger
many, France, England, and Japan into
an agreement to discontinue all opera
tions in the vicinity of North. South, and
Central America
The other suggestions that the Pan
American Union name a commission to
investigate means OF protecting the trade
Of the Western Hemisphere now dis
turbed by the war. and calling confer
ence to discuss the same subject, are re-
garded as simple matters compared with
the task of getting the belligerents to
agree to such a vast Limitation upon
their operations.

SAYS GERMANS ONCE
HATED THEIR CUSTOMS
Dr.. Usher Thinks One Must Go There
to See How Devoted They
Are to Kaiser.

The Germans OF the eighteenth century
were not admired by the outside world.
and they did not admire themselves, their
customs, their clothes, their manners, or
their furniture" said DR.. Roland G.
Usher. professor OF history at Washing
ton University, st. Louis, in the course
Of his lectures yesterday afternoon and
evening before the National Geographic
Society, at the new Masonic Temple.
1T Is q strange fact" he continued,
that the first book to bring Germany to
the attention OF the outside world and
to itself was written by a woman-a
French woman, who married q Swede-
Nine. de Stael. And it was written in
French, too, for II 1t had been written in
German no one would have read it She
wrote that after crossing into Germany
an indescribable silence came over nature
and over the people themselves, that time
seemed TO move more slowly, and that
the progress of vegetation seemed to be
as slow as the progress Of ideas in the
German mind"
The railroad, bridging the rivers and
tunneling the mountains united all Ger
many in commerce, united 1t in purpose
and destiny. The natural barriers to in
tercourse were broken down and modern
Germany began to grow.
DR.. Usher paid high tribute to Emperor
William, saying that no man who had
not studied Germany on the ground could
understand the devotion Of the German
people TO him-not as a war lord but as
IMPLYING all that was best in Germany.
the faith of the people in their future
the purpose to make Germany a nation
first and foremost among those OF the
worId-to make II a Germany in which
they delighted to live and for which they
would cheerfuIly die.

II is evident that the Jason will not
