Ii the Germans succeed in obtaining
control of the firms mentioned, the plan
is, according to the reports, to shut down
the works, and thus prevent them from
continuing the manufacture of arms and
ammunitions, and other war material con-
tracted for by the Allies. The only re-
course Of the Allies would be to the courts.
Undoubtedly, the courts would compel the
companies to pay damages, but Germany
could afford to pay them if she obtained
victory in the war. She would merely
add the damages to the bill for indemnity.
It is recognized in banking and business
circles that the matter is one Of the highest
Importance to the Allies, and to Germany

all the munitions they require. Any lack
of munitions on the part of the Allies
would give their enemies decisive advan-

''The president does not feel justified
in taking the action above stated. That
is, he does not feel justified, first, in
suggesting the submission Of the contro-
versy to investigation, or, second, in warn
ing the people not to incur the extra
hazards in travelling on belligerent ships
or on ships carrying ammunition And
he may be right in the position he has
taken, but as a private citizen I am free
to urge both of these propositions and
to call public attention to these remedies
IN the hope Of securing such an expression
OF public sentiment as will support the
president in employing these remedies if
in the future he finds it consistent with
his sense Of duty to favor them
Different View Points
AS the result of his action, Mr.. Bryan is
alternately denounced as traitor to his
country and man who obeyed the die
tates of his conscience rather than yield
to political influences. Beyond doubt,
the secretary Of state has split the Demo
cratic party wide open, and, in all proba-
bility, is solidifying the sentiment in this
country, existing since the beginning of
the European war, Of two parties; peace
party and war party.
While this government has taken pains
to impress upon Germany and the other
nations engaged in the war that America
presented an undivided front at home, a
mere touch Of the public pulse has shown

With the capture of Przemysl, which
occurred June 3, the Austro-G German army
achieved the main object Of the great
thrust which they commenced against the
Russian lines in Western Galacia month
ago. They have yet to drive the Russians
farther back and establish themselves in
easily defended positions which will en-
able them to detach forces for operations
against Italy and the Allies in the west.
Whether or not they accomplish this, the
TeutOnic Allies have won great victory,
and with suddenness which overshadows
all past operations of the war.
1t was only ten weeks ago that Przemysl
fell to the Russians after a six-months'
investment, which was interrupted for a
short time in November by an Austrian
advance.
With the surrender of the fortress,
there fell into the Russians hands, accord
ing to official reports, 100000 Austrians
and 600 guns, and an immense amount of
war material. Most of the forts, however,
had been completely destroyed by the
Austrians before they surrendered, and
this is considered in military circles to
account for the fact that the fortress sue
combed so quickly to the Austro- German
attack
Many rumors are afoat to the effect
that Germany is endeavoring to use the
Lusitania tragedy as means to establish
European peace.

MIR. Bryan Elaborates

No clearer statement of the reasons for
the split between the president and his
secretary of state can be given than IN
Mr.. Bryan's own statement, issued the day
after his severance from the cabinet:
"My reason for resigning is clearly
stated in my letter Of resignation-namely
that I may employ as private citizen
the means which the president does not
feel at liberty to employ. [ honor him for
doing what he believes to be right, and
am sure that he desires, as [ do, to find a
peaceful solution of the problem which
has been created by the action OF the sub
marines.
|'Two of the points on which we differ,
each conscientious in his CONVICTION, are
''First, as to the suggestion OF 1nvestl-
CATION by any international commission,
and,
I "Second, as to warning Americans
against travelling on belligerent vessels or
with cargoes Of ammunition.

forecasted in a manner unmistakable.
On the eve Of the sending Of this note,

he could not join in the president s note
to Germany without violating what I
deem to be an obligation to my country. "

tration has been generous and loyal be-
yond praise your eagerness to take ad-
vantage of every great opportunity for

we seek it.

MIR. Bryan Says:

obedience to your sense of duty and
actuated by the highest motives you have
prepared for transmission to the German
government note in which | cannot join
without violating what | deem to be an
obligation to my country, and the issue
involved is of such moment that to re-
main a member of the cabinet would be as
unfair to you as it would be to the cause
which is nearest my heart, namely, the
prevention of war.
~, therefore, respectfully tender my
resignation, to take effect when the note
is sent, unless you prefer an earlier hour.
Alike desirous of reaching peaceful solu-
tion of the problems arising out Of the
use Of submarines against merchantmen,
we find ourselves differing irreconcilably
as to the methods which should be en-
ployed.

for the nation [ consider it to be none the
less my duty to endeavor, as private
citizen, to promote the end which you
have in view by means which you do not
feel at liberty to use

''I think. too, that American passenger
ships should be prohibited from carrying
ammunition. The lives of passengers
ought not to be endangered by cargoes
of ammunition whether that danger comes
from possible explosions within or from
possible attacks from without Passen-
gers and ammunition should not travel
together The attempt to prevent Amer
lean citizens from incurring these risks
is entirely consistent with the effort which
our government is making to prevent at
tacks from submarines.

clude the use Of the other The most ia

This plan was offered to all the ma

accepted the principle, being the twelfth,
[ think, to accept. No treaty was actual
ly entered into with Germany, but [ can
not see that that should stand in the way

"Why should an American citizen be
permitted to involve his country in war
by travelling upon belligerent ship when
he knows that the ship will pass through
danger zone? The question is not
whether an American citizen has a right
under international law to travel on a
belligerent ship; the question is whether
he ought not, out of consideration for his
country, if not for his own safety, avoid
danger when avoidance is possible.

far the president can legally 60 in actual
| ly preventing Americans from travelling
on belligerent ships, but believe the gov
ernment should 60 as far as it can, and
that in case Of doubt it should give the
benefit Of the doubt to the government.
"But, even if the government could not
legally prevent citizens from travelling on
belligerent ships, it could, and in my
Judgment should, earnestly advise Amer
lean citizens not to risk themselves or
the peace of their country, and | have
no doubt that these warnings would be
needed.

leave Mexico when insurrection broke out
there and President Wilson has repeated
