TWO BRYAN PEACE PLAN WOULD TIE HANDS If we Had Such Treaty With Germany, Issue Would he Deferred. The days of tension here since the sinking- of the Lusitunia, says a Washington dispatch to the New York Sun, have been also marked by the culmination of Secretary Mryan's scheme to make it impossible for the United States ever to become involved in a war, for within the last week he has been able to announce the' names of several Americans selected to serve as representatives on the in- i vest^gating- committees provided for! in the Mryan peace treaties. This has served to call attention to the purpose of these treaties and has led to consideration of what would be the situation of the United States had ^\Tv. llrvan SCllCi'PPflofl in imtfino- rlin -- * V ' ? ? ev wuwt, HIV| 0erm&n government to negotiate one I of the peace treaties. Germany is one > of the few of the great Powers which jlul no* take advantage of Mr. Bryan'si invitation. " * ' The cont usion generally reached) her is that it" one of tho^e treaties! WW U fi cp with Germany the po-j sition 01 ti>e United dttilea Vnn rei-, crencr to its demands for a cessation j of the kind of submarine operations! Which Germany lias been conducting would be one of absolute helplessness Germany would bo in a position to dis regard practically the demands ot the United States and to proceed with! impunity to attack as many Lusi-: taias as she pleased. This is because the sole idea in the Bryan peace treaties is to interpose a long period of delay?a year in most | cases?between the occassion of (lis-: pute and its settlement in case it is adjusted diplomatically. The treaties provide that where a dispute is not settled diplomatically it: shall automatically be placed in the ( hands of an impartial joint commission. which shall investigate all the facts of the controversy and render a report to both governments with in a year or other specified time. Then both governments shall be free to do as they please about accepting the commission's report or about making a settlement. The treaties provide that during the process of investigation neither government shall resort to hostilities or declare war and in some cases the governments are bound not to make any change or increase in their armed forces during the period of investigation. It is Mr. Bryan's theory that after a year in which to cool off and after the facts of the dispute have been given to the world neither govcrnement will either wish or dare to in *oko the use of force. It is his belief that if every nation in the world would have such a treaty with every other nation war would be impossible. Were ther now such a treaty with Germany, however, the Kaiser could return an absolute refusal to the demands made by the United States in President Wilson's note of last week. Thp dismif r? wr?ul/l (lion !m vr> to the investigating commission and the German submarines could proceed with their operations without any restriction, for in the Bryan treaties there is absolutely no provision for adjusting a dispute arising out of a contMining offense.

A resolution was atiopieci calling for discontinuance ol' exports from Germany of goods particularly needed in America, such as dyestuffs limitation of imports from America as far as possible until the trade which is declared <>b{jcctionablc is stopped. The Swiss fed em 1 authorities have decided to make suitable representations to Germany on the sinking, May i V, of the Cunard line steamer Lusitania by a German submarine,wis a result of which three Swiss citizens lest last week. Eight thousand Italians in Pittsburgh, Pa., and vicinity are prepared to rturn to their homes to join the colors in the event of the declaration of war between Italy and Austria, *V * - ? While Italy is confidently believed to be making final preparations to enter the war o nthe side o fthe allies, Austria, who would be the direct object of her attack, is with her German ally, attempting to inflict such a defeat j>n Russia that she will be abl<? to divert troops, if necessary, to meet b.ore new foe in the south. - , .? y President Wilson lasi week waited for a reply from Germany to tbc recent American note before making further representations to the allies on alleged violations of international law in their commercial embargo on Germany. A motion to discontinue trial of the government's case against publishers of The Menace, an anti-Catholic weekly, published at Aurora, Missouri, was overruled by Federal Judge Arba S. Van Yalkenburgh last week at Kansas City. Two submarines engaged in theAtlantic fleet's war game of the Atlantic coast, last Thursday were disabled and taken in tow for Newport, R.

Later two sets of heirs, one alleging; that he was a cousin, and another stating that she was :i tnnfHm - ? ?isvr a sister, brother and nieces unci neph- ^ cws, entered claim for tlie estate, which is valued at $50,000 in realty j?nd personal property. The lattei sot ot* alleged heirscippealed for an exhumation of the body, to show ccvteir> ^ marks of identification. This was ai- \ lowed by the circuit court. The sink- '.Jj ing fund commission and the alleged cousin then appealed to tne state supveme court to disallow such exhumation, alleging that the mode of conduct of iho deceased was such that any marks that she might have had on her body v ere public property.
