to embark on a war unless a refer-j

Ambassador Wiedfeldt here pre

the United States government The
American government. In effect, ap.
proved the plan, for It 1» known that j in
Seeretary of State Hughes talked the
question over with Ambassador Jus

Only recently M. Juseersnd In. at
formed Hughes that France rejected
t'atlons Which have been clouded in
the deepest secrecy.
The State Department

denied the proposal of Germany or
disclaimed all knowledge ot it.
The proposal of Germany was
follows:

far Secretary Hughes went In ploc- u
ing the support of the United States
behind the German proposition by

that the question was talked over
In Paris and other allied capitals.
