ROOSEVELT PLEDGES
SUPPORT TO WILSON
Colonel Says President Course
Is Right and That of
Bryan Wrong.

New Orleans, June IA. -~Applauding
President Wilson for his stand
IN the disagreement with Secretary
Bryan over the issue between the
United States INC Germany, Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt. in a signed state
ment received here from Breton Island.
La. pledged his support to the presi-
dent in all steps he may take to uphold
the honor and the interests Of the
United States.
According to Mr.. Bryan's state
ment," Colonel Roosevelt says" he has
left the cabinet because President Will
son., as regards the matter at issue with
Germany, refuses to follow the prece-
dent set in the 30-all-inclusive arbitra-
ton commission treaties recently ne
gotiated, and declines 70 suspend action
FOR a year while a neutral commission
investigates the admitted murder of
American men, women and children on
the high seas, and further declines to
forbid American citizens to travel on
neutra! ships in accordance with the
conditions granted to us by GERMANY
herself by solemn treaty.
"Of course. l heartily applaud the de-
cision of the president, and in ommon
with all cher Americans who are loyal
to the traditions handed down by the
men who served under Washington and
by the others who followed Grant and
Lee in the days of Lincoln, / pledge
him my heartiest support In all the
steps he takes to uphold the honor and
the Interests OF this great republic who
are bound UP with the maintenan nee of
democratic liberty and Of a wise spirit
OF humanity among all the nations of
mankind"

OF BRYAN
PUZZLES BRITAIN
London Press Cannot Under.
stand Why He Refused to
Sign Note, Regarding 1t
as Fine Document.

London. June 14.-The London morn
ing newspapers in their editorials on
the latest American note TO Germany,
while remarking on It's extreme
courtesy, combined with nrmness, all
seize upon It's essential point that there
can be no further negotiations until as
~surances are forthcoming that Ameri-
can lives and American ships will be
s~afeguarded.
Notice is taken by the newspapers of
the opportunity of'Germany as some of
them Express it, ito save her face" and
some surprise is expected why Mr..
Bryan should have considered 1t neces-
sary to resign as secretary of state aft
er signing the first note.
The Daily Telegraph says:
The spirit of the second note is ex-
actly that of the first, and it leaves us
to wonder even more than we did be-
fore why Mr.. Bryan thought it neces-
sary to resign. There Is nothing in the
note that the most fervid imagination
could construe into a challenge or ulti-
matum. The note throughout is not
only diplomatic but friendly. The
phrases are those of appeal and warn
ing rather than of stern denunciation.
Maintain Self Respect.
TO have been content with anything
less than the assurances demanded
would hardly have been consistent with
the self respect of the American ma
ton. We are certain that a great ma
jority of the Americans will give whole
hearted support to their president in
the dignitied position he now has as
sulned."
The note gives Germany every OPP
portunity of saving her face, if she so
Desires says the Daily Chronicle in
it's editorial. 1t not only is phrased
in most friendly terms, but by inviting
the submission OF further evidence
concerning the Lusitania and the re-
sumption through an American inter-
mediary. opens a vista for negotia-
tions which might keep the diplomats
Of Berlin and Washington employed
until the war is ended, only that the
outrages must stop during the negotia-
lions. And it is this point which gives
significance to the note.
Bryan's Arbitration Plan.
OBVIOUSLY, without it the note
would be nothing but an a%bdication on
the part OF the United States. We
don't question the sincerity Of Mr..
Bryan'e attachment to the cause of
arbitration, but 1t is strange that he
fails TO see what disservice he does
to arbitration by accepting and
preaching a ~travesty Of 1t. Between.
nations, as between individuals, the
first condition Of arbitration is that
wrong dolngs shall cease in the in
term. Otherwise, arbitration simply
means license to the wrong doer to
continue wrong doings as long as he
can make arbitration last. which,
where time Is important, will be all
he wants. To accept such doctrine as
Mr.. Bryan apparently does is simply
to put a premium on wrong doing and
a very heavy discount on arbitration"
