(Continued from Preceding Pnge.i
Bryan will confer on tho subject when
the former returns from Wllllamatown,

ing the various suggestions advanced
by their governments.
None of the nations hss gone be

High officials of the American gov

Any arrangement tlial would be
sought would, of course, be dependent
upon the final agreement of the bel

American countrlea have pased tlie

thnt whatever action Is taken will be
of a united and collective character.
Soma of the Mouth American coun
tries feel that as Kurope has dis
rupted the trade of neutrals, the 1.-.t
--ler should more vigorously assert their
rights. The chief trouble with Mouth
American trade Is the lack of ships
to carry cargoes and the Insecurity of
such trade ns Is carried in merchant
vessels flying the flags of belligerents.
Many Idle Ships.
The presence of a German fleet in
Mouth American waters has held back
Rimy British merchantmen while Oar- 1
man steamers by the scores are lying

While none of the remedial propos
als suggest whether some of the big
freighters flying belligerent flags
would be released for coastwise trade
within certain neutral Bones, it is
known that the South American coun
tries would welcome an arrangement
between the belligerents whereby some
of these vessels would be permitted
to engage in coastwise trnde.
Trade Paralyzed.
Not alone, however, with the Idea
of restoring the trade paralysed by the
war but with the purpose of removing
possible causes of friction and neu
trality controversies with European
belligerents have the various sugges
tions for joint action with the United
Mtates been advanced.
The South American countries also
would prefer that the belligerent na
vies fight their battles In another
hemisphere, the tanglea over the use
of the wireless and coaling privileges
having produced complications with
Europe.

Although both Ecuador Hnd Colom

PRES'T WILSON
DECRIES AERIAL
808 ATTACKS
Washington. President Wilson
has communicated unofficially to tlie
diplomatic representatives of the
United Slates In the belligerent coun
tries of Europe his disapproval of at
tacks by bombs from niroraft dropped
on unfortified cities occupied by non
combatants.
Does It Personally.
The president was careful not to
tnko the matter up officially and did
not even make his communication
through the state department, but per
sonally addressed the American am
bassadors abroad. He toyk this course.
It became known today, nearly two
months ago, and the facts came to
light through the publication of a re
port that the president had discussed
the matter with European diplomats
here. This, however, was denied by
some of the prominent diplomats men
tioned In connection with It, including
the German ambassador.
Discussion Declined.
Just bow the American diplomats
abroad were to convey President Wil
son's feeling in the matter to the for
eign governments has not been dis
closed, us White House officials, (n
the absence of the president, declined
to discuss the subject.
It is believed hero, however, that
the president called attention to the
urtlcies In The Hague convention of
1907, to which alt the principal bel
ligerents arc signatory, providing for
notice of 24 hours before bombard
ment or attack in order that non-com
batants may remove thomselvcs from
the danger zone.
Tend to End It.
Whether there have been an unof
ficial response from the belligerents
was not known here today, but Amer
ican diplomats were Instructed by the
president. It is understood, to handle
the matter with such discretion ami
delicacy as would tend to end nertal
attacks without notice and at the same
time preserve the friendship which the
United Mtates feels toward all the bel
ligerents Involved
Aerial Warfare.
It is not Involved that the president
mentioned any specific violation, but
expressed his views on the general
subject of aerial attacks. Through the
unofficial character of ilia communi
cation It was Intended by the presi
dent to bring about a better under
standing about aerial warfare without
actually Involving the American gov
ernment In tlie matter. It Is sup
posed the American diplomats used
their good offices, consequently, In a
personal wav with the belligerent gov
ernments without perhaps even men
tinning the fact that they were doing
so at the request of the president, a*
such methods of obtaining a desired
