PHILADELPHIA, June 2s.-Frankford
Arsenal 10 facing a labor crisis that is
taxing Government officials for a solu-
ton.
The loss OF skilled workmen TO private

OF the disturbing factors. Another and

To these two problems Is added the
dissatisfaction throughout the arsenal

BRYAN WORD WARRIOR
Critic says lie R~signed when lie
Saw Presid~nt Meant Action.

LONDON, June ls-Hlla,re Reiloc. writ
ing in Land ond Voter. says:
President Wilson's final note brings
war between America and Germany
nearer. jus; because II IL final. The
wording OF the note disappointed many
who gathered from Mr.. Bryan's resig-
nation that II must contain some very
p~eremptory sort OF threat. Indeed since
the text was published the resignation
has been represented as inexplicable.
for the note contains nothing that was
not In the previous communication.
But there Is rally no mystery In
the matter. Mr.. Bryan has been u
ished on words and phrases-the flap
doodle OF the immortal O'Brien. In
the mouth of the mob orator II is not
the meaning OF words but their COM
forting sound that makes merit. But In
the mouth of a statesman speaking for
a great country words mean action.
This Is tire unpleasant truth that Mr..
Bryan has discovered.
so long as the submarine campaign
could be kept in the region OF talk the
late Secretary OF state was in his ele-
ment. II was only when he discovered
that Mr.. Wilson meant what he said
that he resigned.
Berlin may be pardoned for not TAX
ing America seriously. when Americas
own spokesman was so little serious
himself. Berlin is probably as aston
.shed as Mr.. Bryan at finding that the
comedy Is over
1t Is not surprising that Herr Dern-
burg should he on his way to Berlin
under a British safe conductor that
the Chancellor Is delaying his reply until
that active soul has arrived safely.
The decision to be taken is a homer
tous one. The answer must be explicit.
as explicit as the note itself. Germany
must surrender or face a new bellig-
erent."
