 In view of the fact that the immense resources of these institutions were chiefly derived from the profits of in- dustrial enterprises and that they were employing them in many way af- fecting the conditions of wage carners, 1t was desire of the commission, 1t was explained, to determine whether their policies were in every respect consistent with the public welfare. It was pointed out that the institutions were under no legal obligation to work their operations public and that it was pertinent question to determine whether such immense resources were potentially dangerous, when not sub jeet ot governmental supervision.

Mr. Br,an to Appe,I te.ths Reople.

| The formal statemeut issued by M Bryan yes
terday, simplifying the reasons for 5biss retirement
from the Cabinet set forth in his letter Of resgna-
tion shows plainly how hopeless was the disagree
ment between the President and his Secretary of
State as to the method Of upholding the nations
rights and honor in the face of Germanys disre-
gard of them. 1t proves, too, beyond further
question, the absolute sincerity of the motives
which impelled Mr.. Bryan and sets at rest much
OF the speculation to his of action in
the immediate future, which inspired by what
was regarded the most significant sentence in
his letter of resignation, viz: at falls to your
lot to speak officially for the nation. | consider
it to be none the less my duty to endeavor as
private citizen to promote the end which you
have in view by means which you do not feel at
liberty to use
Mr.. Bryan makes no concealment of his ear
nest belief in a policy of peace at any price of
his firm faith in the efficacy OF the treaties which
he has negotiated of his desire that all dis
putes should be arbitrated, even those involv-
ing the gravest questions of national honor
Finding himself thus opposed to President Will
sons views he adopted the one cause open to
him to avoid embarrassing the administration
even at the risk of mourning public ccnsure for
proclaiming a breach in the Cabinet in the
midst of national crisis. Credit for his courage
and for his faith in his convictions therefore
cannot be withheld from him.
There is just trace OF inconsistency, however
in Mr.. Bryan's formal statement of yesterday
After arguing the correctness of his own views as
against those of the President he announces that
private citizen he is free to call public atten-
ton to these remedies in the hope of securing such
an expression of public sentiment will support
the President in employing these remedies if in the
future he finds it consistent with his of duty
to favor them" Admitting that these remedies"
have been rejected by the President, as being in
conflict with his ideas of what is right and what
should be done, Mr.. Bryan declares his intention
of attempting as private citizen to influence the
people to accept his remedies in preference
TO those methods which the President has deemed
ii wise to adopt. His language indicates that he
regards this as endeavor on his part to aid the
President, but the average mind will probably
find difficulty in thus constituting it. By many it
will be regarded tending to greater cmbarrass-
mcnt than the presence in the Cabinet OF Sec
rotary OF State silently opposed TO the Presidents
policies.
Mr.. Bryan rather emphasizes the fact that
President Wilson is pursuing that course which |
he deems just and wise, and in this there can be |
no shadow of doubt he has the united and stead |
fast support OF his countrvmcn With all respect |
for Mr.. Bryan's sincerity and for his devotion to
the cause OF peace. is it not possible that he is mis-
guided in his determination to attempt 10 alter tho

by the time the French war came there
vas no mistaking the fact that the Eng.
fish colonies had grown to be miniature
states. proud. hard-fibred, Independent In
temper. practised in aftairs They had,
as Edmund Burke sad. formed within
themselves. either by royal instruction
, or royal charter. assemblies SO exceed
ingly resembling a parliament. In ai
their forms. functions. and powers. that
1t was impossible they should not i'm.
bibe some opinion OF a similar author
ity.
AT first. no doubt, their assemblies had
been intended to be little more than the
managing bodies of corporations
But nothing in progression can rest
on its original plan. We may as well
think Of rocking a grown man In the
cradle Of an infant Therefore. as the
colonies prospered and increased to q
numerous and mighty people. spreading
ever very great tract of the globe, II
was natural that they should attribute
to assemblies SO respectable in their for
NAL constitution some part of the dignity
of the great nations which they rep
resented
They made acts of all sorts and In
all cases whatsoever. They levied money
upon regular grants to the crown, fol-
lowing all the rules and principles Of a
parliament. to which they approached
every day more and more nearly"
And Burke saw how inevitable, as well
as how natural. the whole growth had
been.
Things could not he otherwise" he
said: English colonies must be had on
these terms. or not had at ALL"
They had used their governments Tor
their own purposes. and rather like in
dependent states than like dependent
communities.

HE men who governed IN England
contented themselves with general
q restrictions and did not go on to
manage the very lives of the colonists IN
the colonies themselves.
That was what the French did They
built their colonies up by royal order,
sent emigrants out as they sent troops
at the Kings expense and by the Kings
direction; could get only men to go,
therefore. for the most part, and very
few women or families.
For the English there was nothing of
the sort. after the first. Rich men OF
great mercantile companies might help
emigrants with money or supplies or free
gifts Of land in order to all up the
colonies which the crown had given
them the right to establish and govern:
but only those went out who volunteered
Emigrants went, moreover, in families
after the first years were passed and the
colonies fairly started. il not at the very
outset of the enterprise-in associated
groups, congregations. and small vol
untecr communities.
When they reached the appointed plac.
of settlement they were left to shift
for themselves, as they had expected,
exactly as they would have been at
home: and they insisted upon having the
same rights and freedom they would
have had there.
They were making homes, without as
sistance or favor. and for their own
use and benefit.
1t was inevitable in the circumstances
that their colonial governments should
be like themselves. homemade and free
from control in the management of what
chiefly concerned their own lives.
The were just as hard to supervise and
regulate when the settlements were small
as when they grew large and popuious-
a little harder. indeed. because the colon
lists were the more anxious then about
how the new life they were beginning

Germany's Military Shensth.

How many fresh troops has Germany left? The
most lucid estimate is one given by the Temps.
Based on the official census for December l. 1910,
the number of German males aged from 10 to 50
at the present moment is computed at I5785,377.
Probably IS per cent were not taken for military
service. The figure thus obtained, viz, 1896
must be further reduced. Deaths since Decem-
Der l, 1910. bring it down roughly to 1900, 600.
Two million men are employed in civilian labor.
Finally, the casualties since the war may amount
to 100000 prisoners or missing 100000 killed,
100000 wounded and permanently incapacitated,
10000 wounded who can return to the front.
Total loss. I.55o,ooo men. Thus at the present
moment Germany probably possesses a total
strength OF 7,4So,ooo men, leaving reserve Of
about 100000 to draw upon, supposing about
4 100000 are now at the fronts.-London Tele-
