SIDES WITH WILSON.
Roosevelt Pledges President His Hearth
est Support.

New Orleans, June l2.--Applauding
President Wilson for his stands in the
disagreement with Secretary Bryan over
the issue between the United States and
Germany, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, in

night from Breton Island, La, pledged his
support to the president in all steps he
may take to uphold the honor aud the in
terests of the United States.
According to Mr.. Bryan's statement =
Colonel Roosevelt says, "he has left the
cabinet because President Wilson, as re-
CARDS the matters at issue with Ger
many, refuses to follow the precedent
set in the 80 all-nclusive arbitration
commission treaties recently negotiated,
and declines to suspend action for a year
while a neutral commission investigates
the admitted murder of Americen men,
women and children on the high seas, aud
further declines to forbid American citi-
zens to travel on neutral ships in accord
ance with the conditions guaranteed TO
US by Germany herself in solemn treaty
"0f course, / heartily applaud the de-
csion of the president and in common
with all other Americans who are loyal
to the traditions handed down by the
men who served under Washington, and
by the others who followed Grant mad
Lee in the days OF Lincoln, ] pledge him
my heartiest support in all the steps he
takes to uphold the honor and the inter
ests of this great republic which sre
bound up with the maintenance of demo- |
ratio liberty and of wise spirit OF hui
nanity among all the nations of man

CONCERNING FEELING
AS TO ACQUIESCENCE
Washington Officials Con-
tinue to Maintain Optimis-
tic Feeling That a Way
Would Be Found for the
Peaceful Settlement Of the
Difficulty

Washington, D. c., June 12.--Oficia
Washington to-day looked to Ambassa
dor Gerard in Berlin for some indication
of how the German government view.
the American note concerning the sub
marine warfare.
Unofficial advices said the officials OF
the German foreign Office are familiariz-
ing themselves with its contents, and
it was expected that as soon as they
had done so Ambassador Gerard would
send some definite information concern
ing the German attitude. Dispatches
coming direct from Berlin said thar ~,
some quarters in Berlin it was regard
ed that the note was more conciliatory
than dispatches had indicated it would
be.
On the other hand, dispatches received
via London said that German opinion
was unanimously against granting the
American demands for assurance that
American ships and lives would not be
endangered by submarine warfare.
Word from Gerard, it was hoped would
establish the facts as between these CON
flicting views. Feeling in official circles
in Washington continues optimistic that
a way would be found for the peaceful
settlement of the issue between Germany
and the United States. This confidence
is also shared by the diplomatists.

GLASS SHOWERS ON PASSENGERS.
Large Branch of Tree Scraped Whole
Length of the Coach.

Escaping the notice of the engineer, A
branch OF tree broken by the heavy
wind and rain Of last night, brushed
across the coaches of the branch passen-
ger train on the Central Vermont railroad
this morning on its trip to Montpelier
from Barre near the Tabor crossing and
smashed l2 windows in the front coach
of the train, treating the occupants of
the coach to shower of broken glass.
That someone was not seriously injured
by the flying glass is to be considered
miraculous, but such was found to be the
case when the train was brought to a
stop and an examination made of the
passengers. Several, however, suffered
minor cuts, including Goddard students
who were on ts,eir way to their homes
after graduation.
The heavy tree limb scraped along the
side of the coach, damaging the paint
somewhat and also cracked one window
pane in the smoking car.
The train. when it pulled into Montpe-
lier, excited the waiting passengers to
much comment, and wild coniectures were
made as to the reason for the smashed
windows until the explanation was forth
coming. The interior of the car looked
as if it had been struck by cyclone,
every seat being literally covered by the
glass and the coach win probably have
to be sent to St. Albans for repairs. The
train was several minutes late because OF
the accident.

BRYAN RESTS HIS CASE.
After Urging German-Aneriean TO Use
Influence Against War.

Washington, ID. c., June l2.-William
Jennings Bryan last night issued an ap.
peal addressed to "The German Ameri,
cans" urging them 10 aid in maintain.
| ing peace between the United States
and the fatherland, by exerting their
influence with the German government
TO persuade it not TO take any steps
that would lead in the direction Of war.
With this statement, Mr.. Bryan ex.
poets to end for the present his efforts
TO lay before the public the situation
which caused him TO resign the port
folio of secretary of state. On Wednes-
day, he gave out an explanation Of why
he left the cabinet rather than sign the
last American note to Germany regard
ing submarine warfare; Thursday, he
issued an appeal 10 -the American peo-
ple' TO stand for persuasion rather than
for force in asserting rights under inter.
national law, and yesterday he made a
brief statement expressing qualification
at what be termed q change Of tone on
the part Of the "jingo editors" regarding
the note 20 Germany.
After referring 90 German. Americans
a. "felloweitizens in whose patriotism
have entire confidence" Mr.. Bryan, be.
sides asking them 30 use their influence
with the German government, urged:
That they forget, never to be recalled
any suspicion Of lack Of neutrality or
friendship toward the German people on
the part Of the president Of the United
States.
That they should not attempt 10 ron.
meet negotiations between the United
States and Germany with those between
the United States and Great Britain,
because "the eases are different"
