rule of the Department of State was
being applied
The ruling, however. was generally In
terpreted as meaning that the United
States does not regard unofficial missions
in efforts to make peace by private per
sons as business of an urgent character.
Few applications have been made for
passports to visit beligerent countries,
the plan of the peace party being to as
semble convention in one of the neu-
trail countries and use a neutral capital
as base for the operation of the im-
fportant plans.
