WASHINGTON. April 24. —To an
audience composed of the diplomatic!
representatives of the nations of the
earth, Secretary of State Bryan, with
the approval of President Wilson,
to-day submitted his proposal for in
ternational agreements to delay war.
Regarding his proposal, Mr. Bryan
said:
“The following statement embodies
the principal points of an agreement,
which the President of the United
States is willing to enter into, with
the consent ot the Senate, with all
other nations. It does not attempt to
go Into details, but is only intended
to set forth the main proposition
namely, that the President desires to
enter into an agreement with §acb
nation severally for the investigation
of all questions whatever.
“This agreement is intended tc
supplement any arbitration treaty
now in existence or any made here
after. Arbitration treaties always
except seme question from arbitra
tion. The proposal by the President
is intended to close the gap and leave
no dispute that can become a cause
of war.
“The form in which the report is
to be made Is left to be'agreed upon
and it may be that the time will diffei
In different cases, but any time, how
ever short, furnishes an opportunity
to investigate and deliberate, and it
is hoped * the time for investigation
and delibrration will be sufficient to
secure a settlement without a resort
to war.
“It will be noticed that each party
retains the right to act independ
ently after the report is submitted
1 t it is not likely a nation will de
clare war after it has had oppor
tunity during investigation to confer
with the opposing nation. But
whether this proposed agreement ac
complished as much as it is hoped for
it is at least a step in the direction
of universal peace.”

“Then the judge asked me if I
would stay with Smith during illness,
and I yelled ‘no’ again, and told the
judge 1 didn't want to marry that
