A New York newspaper says that
col. Bryan has been a failure in the
national service, so he has gone back
to the field of politics in his own state"
This is unfair. 1t was not Col. Bryan's
fault that his regiment was not ordered
to the front, SO far as the public is in
formed, no one who is authorized to
speak has charged the colonel with
failure in the performance of his mill
tary duty The war for which he en-
listed being over, he had a perfect right
to resign.

dishonored those who trusted him

it was all true. Marsh may not have
contemplated any act of positive wrong

sometimes closely allied to criminality
and it seems to have been so connected

months and were frequently seen together.
They were on good terms until few days
ago, when their friendship was terminated
By Disagreement. The severance of their
friendly relations caused the young lover to
brood over Lis troubles and eventually to
-hoot himself. His wound is likely to prove
