BRYAN URGES MEDIATION.
Asks Congress to Assure President OF
Readiness to Aid in Peace Move.

Washington In statement issued
here Sunday night, former Secretary
Of State Bryan suggests that congress
assure the president of its readiness
to support him in any effort which he
may see fit to make TO hasten the res

AN offer of mediation" he says, is
not only amply justified on the ground
Of humanity, but 1t is demanded.
There is abundant reason to believe
that the president either alone or in
conjunction with the executives OF the
other neutral nations, can secure from
the nations at war statement OF the
terms upon which peace Is possible
and such statement would be the
beginning of an exchange of views
which would lead to treaty"

 fsIt was curious a watch his instinct to hide things manifest itself in a hundred odd ways, to the human mind not in the least related to a food supply. Any small object which was bright and shining particularly attracted him, and he would spend hours attempting to hide bits Of broken crockery or glass in the dogs fur or in his ear. Don's ear was a fa.- vorite hiding place. Jim would get a bit of crockery in his beak, hop up on the dogs head. drop it nearly into his ear, and then carefully fold the eaF-fIap down over the aperture. If Don objected and raised his ear again, Jim would once more grab it and fold it down, scolding meanwhile. H Don were wide-awaIke he did not seem to
 mind this performance in the least, but if he chanced to be sleepy he would get up with a bored air, shake out the crockery from his ear, and with the look of one who says, For me in peace!' walk away to some oth- CT place. Nothing discouraged, Jim would slowly follow along behind him keeping an eye cooked meanwhile for a fresh bit of shiny stuff (even a bright pebble would do,1 and. when Don once more lay down, the entire operation would be repeated.
 "One could never be certain at at these times how far Jim's actions were purely teIeologica1-the exercise in captivity Of instincts upon which the endurance of the wold species de- pendsEand how far there was
 mingled with them an almost human love Of teasing. For Jim unques- tfopabIy loved to tease. Of that there could be no doubt. He knew, too, just as a dog knows, who could be leased and who couIdn' l.
