The suggestion comes from one of the most prominent railroad men, who proliably has the largest railroad dealings with Russia of any American. During a recent visit h'ue he called at the American embassy and other official quarters. In the course of bis visit he strongly urged that France and the I'ulted States, by reason of the international friendship toward the two belligerent, were specially qualified to Initiate a peace movement. The suggestion was entirely unofficial and formal, but none the less it was said that it would prove a germ for official action.
