London I'm the western war zone
artillery engagements are in progress
from the sea to the Woevre, and even
beyond that district, with here and
there infantry fighting. The French
have attempted to force the Germans
at some points out of their strongly
entrenched positions, and the Ger
mans have been endeavoring to re-
cover lost ground. A big German Of
fensive was predicted several days
ago, but so far 1t has not materialized,
although It is still expected.
With Monfalcone and Gradisca in
their hands, the Italians have begun
an attack on Gorilla (Gorz), further
up the Isonzo river, and one Of the
Austrians' most strongly fortified po-
sltions. The Italians already have
cut the communications to the north
and south Of the town, so that II now

prepared to the German reply to the
Lusitania note. Acting Secretary Rob
ert Lansing will sign the document
and It viii be cabled to Berlin.
Secretary Bryan returned to private
life June 9, when his resignation took
effect. It was learned that he intends
to continue his political support Of the
president.
Rather than sign the document he
believed might possibly draw the
United States into war, Mr.. Bryan sub
mitted his resignation in letter de-
claring that "the issue involved is Of
such moment that to remain a mem
Der of the cabinet would be as unfair
to you as it would be to the cause
which is nearest my heart, namely,
the prevention Of war"
The president accepted the resig-
nation In a letter of regret, tinged
with deep personal feeling of affec.
tion.
Dramatically the official relation Of
Mr.. Bryan with the administration, of
the man whose nomination he assist
ed so materially in bringing about at
the Baltimore convention of 1912 came
to an end. It caused a sensation in
the national capital scarcely parallel,
ed in recent years. Ambassadors,
ministers and diplomatists from for
eign lands. officials Of every rank and
station, heard the news as it was
flashed by newspaper extras. They
interpreted variously its effect on the
delicate situation that had arisen be-
tween Germany and the United States.
The resignation Of the stanchest ad-
vocate Of peace in the presidents of
ficial family spread broadcast the be-
lief that the policy Of the United
States as definitely determined upon
would assert and defend the rights Of
the United States in any eventuality
that might arise.
That there had been friction be-
tween the president and Mr.. Bryan
has been the undercurrent Of com
ment for several weeks, but as the
president heretofore had always been
able to secure the acquiescence Of the
secretary in his point of view, talk Of
was discounted generally.
Robert Lansing, successor to John
Bassett Moore as counsellor Of the
state department, became secretary
Of state ad interim June 8, when Sec
retary Bryan's resignation took ef-
feet. He is a sol-in-law Of John W.
Foster, secretary Of state under Pres
ident Harrison, a lifelong Democrat,
and has been an international lawyer
for many years.

into Italian hands, but the fighting in
this neighborhood and about Monte

troops are showing great qualities Of
courage and enterprise in the face OF
obstinate opposition. The severity Of
these encounters may be judged from
the fact that this ground is one Of
the strongest fortified points where
the Austrians can bring their heavy

Nevertheless. the Italians pushed
