1t is natural to suppose that II the
explanation of Mr.. Bryau's resigna-
ton was inherent in the text of the
note that has now gone to Berlin, he
could not honorably give his true
reasons until the note had been pub
lished. In that view of the matter we
might assume that considerations OF
propriety, nay, even of delicacy, re-
strained him from stating his complete
case in advance of the publication

eminent.
But, on the other hand, it is obu-
GUS that a politician so adroit as air.
Bryan is in every sense personal to

forty-eight hours until the note was

terday fails to allege or remotely to
Indicate any new difference of opinion
between himself and the rest OF the
administration In the first place he ex-
plains in the somewhat tedious phras-
eology of personal pique his sorrow
and modification that his celebrated
idea of preventing all war by the in
terposition of a year between provo
cation and hostility has not been
found applicable I'm the present cir
cumstances. In these days of swift
ly moving events and diminished re-
gard for written treaties particularly
treaties accepted in principle" but
not actually signed, Mr.. Bryan sol
EMMY reafiirms his belief in the eff
cacy of a formal pledge of a years
fOrbearance TO deter two nations at
war-fever heat from really going TO
war. His first grievance against tho
President is simply that the years
delay cure has not been adopted in
treatment of Germany's violations Of
the neutral rights of American citi-
zens on the high seas.
Moreover. we think IL would he
highly interesting 10 learn from Mr.
Bryan whether, as a matter Of fact,
he does not know that the German
government was approached, months
ago by well known personal agent
of the Wilson administration on the
/ subject OF this very treaty which he
says was accepted lin principle" Is
not Mr.. Bryan perfectly aware that
President Wilson's friend was frankly

Germany would never consent to
such a convention?
The second grievance is still fur

PLANTATION of Mr.. Bryan's course; so
much further. in fact. as to be almost
derisible. It concerns the question of
[ the right Of our citizens to travel at

unarmed merchantmen OF the bellig-
erent nations. and the policy Of warn
ing citizens against such adventures,
and actually preventing" them IT, as
/ Mr. Bryan obviously remarks, it can

which Mr.. Bryan might very properly
