AS to Mr.. Bryan's resignation |
think IL was disloyal TO the Democratic
party and disloyal 10 the nation, but the
American people know Mr.. Bryan. He
is essentially a politician and is ready
TO adopt any ism which he thinks nay
benefit himself politically, That was
demonstrated when he came on here the
las, time he ran for President with the
proposition OF the guarantee Of bank
deposits.
There was nothing In the Presidents
note that should have warranted Mr.
Rryan's resignation at this time, esNc-
cially as he had signed and approved
the preceding note. which was much
more forcible. The only conclusion
therefore. that can he arrived AT from
Nj. Bryan's action is that he thought
he SAW a splendid opportunity TO put
himself at the head Of the so-call'd pro-
Gerran or German American element
and to enlist the religious sentiment OF
the country. thus making himself a die
tator to the Democratic party.
.1~'ndoubtcdly he believes he can place
himself in such a position that Mr.. VII

American Missionary At Van Re-

BOSTON,. June 1.-THE American
Board OF Commissioners for Foreign
Missions received the following despatch
from DR.. Clarence u. Usher. "A medical
missionary at Van, Turkish Armenia,
to-day:
General assistance Urgent. Moham-
medans starving, We have about 1000
in American buildings TO whom We can
give assistance. Americans safe"
The fact that the message was sent
by way Of the American Embassy In
Petrograd and the State Department at
Washington was taken to confirm the
reports that the Russians are In con-
troll OF Van and that the danger OF mas
sacres by Turkish tribesmen has been
averted.

The note Of u Government to Ger
many has surprised everybody in a very
pleasant manner. The Presidents note
Is written in a most surprisingly
friendly tone, so much so as TO entirely
minimize the ~antagonistic tenor OF the
first note TO Germany.
This second note will lead to an un-
~dersianding with Germany. Then the
German Government must fnd out that
America was and is entirely right In
her demand OF satisfaction for the loss
Of the lives OF American citizens.
We now can give to our Government
the fulles, support in their jus,inabls
demand which we could not heretofors
offer on account OF It's unjustiaahle and
unncutral action toward Germany.

personal document. Just ~ is the ex-

nobody would consider a note of the

The Lusitania carried $500 cases OF
ammunition and Germany had the right
to prevent the delivery OF such a cargo.

EXPORTS Of Ammun milton.

The fact that the Administration
has received more criticism from Ger
man Americans than from those in SYM
pathy with the Allies is due to the
fact that while both sizes are at lib
erty under international law to pur-
chase ammunition in the United states
the Allies, because OF their control OF
the seas, have the advantage or being
able to export II.
1T is unfortunate that partisan sup
porters of Germany should have over
looked the legal requirements or the
situation and have thus misunderstood
the position Of the Administration. The
Administrations position has not only
been perfectly neutral but II could not
ave been otherwise without a palpable
and international violation or the rules
governing neutrality.
This Government is not at liberty to
materially change the rules Of interna-
tional law during the war, because every
change suggested is discussed, not upon
rs merits as an abstrac, proposition but
according TO the effect ii will have upon
the contest.
Those who wanted to lay an embargo
upon the shipments Of arms defended

would hasten peace. hut IT Is strange
that they could have overlooked the fact
that the only way in which such action
on our part could hasten peace would
have been by helping one side to over
come the other.

German Government and the German

adopted the methods which he thinks
most likely to contribute toward peace,
