President is Giving European
Peace Question Serious
Consideration.


WASHINGTON, May 26.-President
Wilson Is giving more serious con-
sideration to the possibility Of restor-
ing peace in Europe than at any time
since the outbreak of the war. From
an authoritative source 1t was learned
Friday that the president is prepar-
Ing to do everything possible in an in
formal way to bring about the dis
cussion Of peace between warning ma
tons although he has not indicated In
tentions Immediately to offer his SER
vices formally as mediator. His ad-
dress Saturday night before the Lea
que to Enforce Peace is expected to
be in the nature Of a preliminary over
ture.
The president is convinced the war
is deadlocked and that continuance
merely means the killing Of more peo-
pie and the further impoverishment Of
belligerent nations.

speech was closely confined to the
technical, legal questions involved en-

that such action would curtail the pow
er OF either the president or Congress-
by limiting the constitutional discre-
ton OF the latter body to declare war.
Mr. Taft explained that the leagues
platform proposes compulsory sub
mission to the world court Of an In
ternational dispute not settled by dip,
lomatic negotiations and which are
"justiciable' questions.
Referring to the so-called Bryan
peace treaties with England and
France Mr.. Taft said II was argued
that the arbitration stipulation In them
was delegation OF the authority OF
the president and Senate over our for
cign relations.
"But upon reason and authority this
objection Is untenable," said Mr.. Taft.

a nation belonging to the world court
to use Its army and navy in forcing its
decree upon other members that should
go to war In defiance OF the court 8 de- I,
crees. Mr.. Taft took issue with former
Secretary Of State Bryan regarding
Mr.. Bryan's contention that consti-

"Mr. Bryan declared that IN order
to carry out the provision we must
have a Joint council OF the powers to

Taft. land that this would substitute
the action Of the council for the dis

that this view Is wholly without foun-
