Ear- j m lier in the day the former secretary of j $ state had gr. en out a statement de- j ? daring money for increa-:ed military j J expenditures would de difficult to se cure, and adding: j "I do not see that there is anv rea- !

In his reply to the editors' commit- J tee Mr. Bryan said: "1 neei not assure you that I share J your desire for peace and am willing ? to do anything in my power to hasten $ it. The service that any one person $ can render in such a matter is of course small, but each one is in duty m bound to do what he can and I am willing to do my part. Whether it is wise for me to undertake a trip to Europe is a question which I am not new- prepared to decide and I am sure you will -allow me to take the matter ' under advisement. 'Even if it is impossible to exert any influence toward the hastening of peace a trip to the neutral countries might give me in- J fz-v-rmo tirin tViot I r>ni) 1 I'CO in tVio Wnrt i 2 1 Vi iUiHIVii WUUl A WUiU U<JV 111 til V, ??

I 4 ies with Great Britain, France and 4 Russia, he declared, "enabled us to ( carry on our diplomatic disputes with % them without any of the sensationalism j I that has attended our correspondence^ with Germany," and the acceptance ofjt such treaties by Germany, Austria and jl Belgium "would silence the jingo press I* and to a large extent remove the ex-jl cuse which has been used for the prop-j' agation of the doctrine of greater pre- j J paredness."' "Having great faith in the plan and . having negotiated the other treaties," he added, "I might be able to present g the case more strongly in personal in- ^ terview than I was able to do by dip- g lomatic correspondence and now that a the advantage of these treaties has i been made more apparent, it is pos- 4 sible that Germany, Austria and Bel- ^ gium might be williag to enter into | ruch treaties." 4 Mr. Bryan said that if he decided ( to make the trip he would go not as j 4 a spokesman of any special group, but jf as "a representative of the peace sen- j 4 timents of the United States, which in- [ ( it _ i '? i A entires txitf'vasL majuiu; ui vux pcupic. ^ How ..re They to Be Fe4f Geneva, .Switzerland, Sept. 16 (via Paris).?The number of Russians taken prisoners since May 1 by the Germans and Austrians is reckoned by Ali Sussi at 2,721,570.

It adds: Official Austrian and German figures 1 given out prior to May 1 showed a total ^ of 1.395,000 Russian prisoners, not in- | eluding civilians or the dead and ^ wounded.
