very correct, is the mourning hat

The hat is of dull black silk and crepe,

smartly arranged on the hat. Black

of chic which helps to raise this

Boston, Mass, June 1G.-Despite the
efforts Of a party Of American pas
seners. the British steamer Coleman OF

Stars and Stripes for 40 hours while
passing through the war zone as pro-
lection against German submarines

1t was on May 30, Capt Mcdonald
said, that he was hailed by a British
patrol boat two days out OF Avon

sent the Stars and Stripes up the staff
Immediately, he said He said he used
the American flag in preference to any
other because he could back up his
bluff If hailed by speaking the Eng
lish language, while if he used that
of any other neutral nation he would
be unable to use the language OF the

As it developed, no submarines were
sighted
This is said to be the first instance
in which the American flag has been
used by a transatlantic steamer Of

1ect, which was provoked by the Lusi-
tania's use Of the flag last February.

LONDON PAPERS
PRAISE WILSON
Think Bryan's Withdrawal
Strengthens Position of
the United States.

London, Eng, June 1O-London
newspapers, commenting on the resig-
nation Of W. J. Bryan as secretary Of
state, uniformly express the sentiment
that president Wilson's position is
made stronger, rather than weaker, by
Bryan's withdrawal Some comment on
the power of the United States as a
possible antagonist Of Germany. All
ascribe the highest motives Of patriot
ism to president Wilson's acts.
Not a Great Political Event.
The Times in an editorial this morn
ing says:
Mr.. Bryan's resignation is a much
more personal than political event 1t
Is dramatic incident in a highly dra-
matte career, but 1t is not the turning
point or even milestone in the ma
tional policy.
1T would argue, indeed. a profound
misunderstanding Of current American
conditions to ascribe to 1t one 1.-THE the
Importance the world would naturally
attach to the resignation of, say, Sir
Edward Grey. It is not to be regarded
as a break in the solid mass Of popular
opinion which is steadfastly arrayed
behind president Wilson and is pre-
pared to support him in whatever
course he decides to pursue
Without knowing the contents OF
the latest note, or how II differs from
the previous note which Mr.. Bryan
signed, IL may be assumed, since Mr..
Bryan cites it as the occasion Of his
resignation, that II contains no aban-
donment or whiting down OF the de-
mands made two weeks ago and con-
temptuously ignored or evaded by VII

Peoples support OF President.
In its general comment on the cor
respondence between president Wilson
and Mr.. Bryan. the Times assumes that
IN every important transaction the
president has been IN fact his own sec
rotary OF state and that Mr.. Bryan's de-
parture implies no change in the opin-
ions which have shaped American pol
icy under president Wilson, who. the
Times says, commands at this diff
cult moment the confidence OF his
countrymen in a measure rarely vOuch-
safed to any president" The Times
