DIPLOMACY FIRST
 SAYS W. J. BRYAN
Should That Fail We Can Resort
 to Treaty Plan, He Declares

Chlcago' Aug. 23.-William J. Bryan. former secretary of state last night gave out the following signed statement:
 have read the editorial opinions concerning the sinking of the Arabic as those opinions were reproduced in saturday mornings papers but they seem to me to avoid the most impor- tant question. The real question is not whether American citizens have, under international law, a right to ships of belligerent nations. That is admitted. The question just now is whether an American citizen should put his convenience or even his rights above his nations welfare. If Amer ican citizens refuse to consider their own safety or the safety of the na- tion, then a second question arises, namely, whether the government should permit a few persons to drag the country into this unparalleled war.
 Recourse to Treaty Plan.
 Our government has made its pro- test and there is no doubt that the position taken is abundantly support ed by precedent, but that does not necessarily mean that we are going to war. Diplomacy has not yet con- cluded it's work, and even if diplo- matic efforts fail, we have recourse to the treaty plan, which must be re- sorted to in case of disputes with Great Britain, France, Italy and Rus sia, and should be resorted to before going to war with any other belliger- ent nation.
 If the treaty plan fails, we still have a choice between entering this war and the postponment of final settlement until peace is restored. In the meantime it will be well to think of the thousands who would be sacrificed if we enter this war; these brave men are certainly entitled to consideration as well as the few who by deliberately incurring unnecessary risks, bring harm upon themselves and danger to their country
 Lay Aside Bias.
 'It is time for the unneutral por- tion of the press of the United States to lay aside its bias and unite in help l ing the president to keep the country out of war.
 The pro-ally papers are insisting upon war with Germany for the ben l eft of the Allies and the pro-German l papers are insisting upon an embargo f on arms and ammunition, for the | benefit of Germany If these two groups of papers would join together and urge measures to restrain Ameri i can citizens from going into the dan ger zone on bellgerent ships and pro- hibiting American passenger ships 1 from carrying arms and ammunition if they would do this, they would 1 aid in preventing war and in reserv- ing for our nation the priceless Oppor- tunity to act as peaCe-maker when the time for peace arriVcS.' !

BIG SCHOOL EXPECTED.
Entering Class at Normal May Be
 Largest in History


 Largest in History.
 On September the local public schools will open after the long sum- mer recess for the fall term and all the schools are expected to be crowd cd to their capacity.
 The Normal school does not open until September 8, but Principal Marcus White says he has not the re- no otest idea how large the entering class will be. At this school the prospective students are admitted by diploma and do not have to enroll their names in advance, so until school has really opened the principal does not have any idea how many Iupils there will be-
 It is expected however, that this years entering class will be even larger than the one a year ago when the pupils mum bered in the neighbor- hood of 115.

Announcement Confirmed.

London, Aug 23. 2:55 a. IA despatch to the Times from Petro- grad confirms the announcement of M. Rodzianko, the president of the Du1ra. of a Russian victory in the Gulf of Riga and the sinking of the German battle cruiser Moltke.
 The correspondent appended to his dispatch the following official communication:
 "Confirmation of the naval vic- tory in the Gulf of Riga was con- veyed to the Duma committee today by M Rodzianko, president of the Duma. The members of the com mittee requested M. Rodzianko to congratulate the navy on it's splen- did achievement and to convey to the minister of war their compli- ments on the defeat of the Ger man invaders at Pernau by local levies.
 Battle Cruiser Moltl1e.
 Among the German warships sunk is tn battle cruiser Moltke. Four huge barges filled with SOL diers were captured and the invad CTS surrounded and taken prison CTS.
 "Petrograd indulged in pardon able rejoicings this afternoon. The desperate efforts of the Germans ID upset our military plans by creating a diversion on the Esthonian coast have signally failed. According to the news rceived today, they su>- tained heavy losses during the or- erations connected with the forcing of the Gulf of Riga.
 Driven Out of Gulf.
 Aided by British submarines, we were able, from the shelter of tho great and little towns, to harass and cripple and finally to drive the en- emy out of the gulf.
 The losses of the gallant Baltic fleet were extremely small, in nc way impairing it's efficiency, and so long as this i, preserved no serious danger can immediately threaten petrOgrad.'
