mat whom Mr. Bryan substituted in the
Office of third assistant for Dudley Field
Malone. left this week for his vacation,
to be absent until September.
Thus practically. the entire burden
of the present situation, SO far as
knowledge of law. procedure and prece-
dent are concerned. Is thrown upon the
shoulders Of Robert Lansing. Mr..

sellor. Mr.. Lansing has had had long

questions, and lis thoroughly familiar

technicalities involved in the difficult

Mr.. Lansing cannot. however. count up
on much expert assistance from his
associates in the department In the
present state of affairs in Mr. Bryan's
bailiwick.
The rights and protection of Amerl-
cans abroad liz expected to prove one Of
the vexing questions for the state de-
partment to look after.
The interests of Americans In Eu-
rope and elsewhere. which will be ef-
fected by general war, are multitu-
dinoust and enormous In value.
