and leave woman suffrage alone until

civilization in South Carolina that
would protect a woman armed with
the ballot in using it."

Bryan Issues Statement.
By United Press.

Washington, June 16.-A statement
issued by Former Secretary Bryan to-
day, the first of series of three
promised, calls attention to the losses
suffered by women as well as men in
war and the injuries to neutral nations
that may be embroiled without any
fault of their own.
Bryan refers to how the commerce
of the United States was hit by its de-
pendence on foreign merchant ma
rine. He says as long as the nations
must war they should bear the burden
themselves as far as possible and not
shift it to innocent nations.
Bryan says President Wilson has a
great opportunity ahead of him.
