today.
At the French line Offices nothing
had been heard from Captain Juham
since his message Of yesterday after
noon reporting a fire In the reserve

Rochambeau's commander stated his

heard from again until he reached
Halifax, providing he put back to that
port.
The exact position Of the Rochan

however, that the Rochambeau might
reach Halifax today.

The so-called Bryan peace treaty

v. ]. BRYAN IS OUT
FOR PRESIDENT

Straws show which way the wind
blows. The comments of w. J.. BRYAN
on the German reply to President VIII
sons second note leaves no doubt that
William Jennings Bryan will be a can
didate for the democratic nomination
for president next year.
Bryan's statement is exceedingly
adroit. He adheres Loyalty to Presi-
dent Wilson. Thus he aims to hold
together the democratic party.
At the same time Bryan virtually
advises acquiescence in the German
proposal for the licensing of Ameri-
a ships to travel the open high
seas. This would be a surrender of
the position taken by President VIII
son.
Bryan's statement is most 'siSnin-
cant. 1t is bound to please the Ger
mans. Thus 1t will hold the Ger
man-American vote.
Bryan says, 1T is not a sacrifice OF
rights to avoid unnecessary risks"
This means that he takes the German
view that Americans should keep out
Of the war zone.
The Reno Journal, strongly indorses
the attitude OF Bryan. 1t says, THE
sanity Of his comment will make Mr..
Bryan's strong hold on the people yet
stronger"
We no longer need mince matters.
The lines are being clearly drawn for
next years campaign. 1t will be Bry-
an against Wilson for the democratic
nomination for president.
Bryan may deny that he is after
the nomination. But he is a receptive
candidate. He has up his lightning
rod.
