WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9-Among the government officials here it is believed that Bryan's resignation will be a big force in impressing on Germany the fact that the United States intends to insist upon its rights neutral to travel the high seas in unarmed merchant vessels of whatever nationality. High German officials believed that the present Washington administration was committed to the policy of uninterrupted peace, and that it would not make under any circumstances Der lin now realizes that this view was a mistake and that their diplomats have not rightly judged the calibre of Wilson and the members of his cabinet They so misjudged the English attitude when the war broke out owing to the complications in Great Britain over Ireland and it is thought that Germany will not wish to make any further mistakes of that nature.
 Bryan has issued a statement in which he says that he favored the arbitration of the Lusitania matter by an International Commission He thinks the government should take all steps possible to prevent Americans from travelling on the ships of belhgerent country, and that all American passen ger ships should be prohibited from carrying ammunition. Joseph P. Humility, private secretary to President Wilson said that the chief executive would under no circumstances discuss Bryan's state ment. When Wilson and Bryan parted at the White House today, they both shook hands warmly, and each said to the other God bless you'

year normal course to any pupils
who by their advanced work qualify
for the same. All the work in
theory which the pupils submit in
the form Of written lessons, as out

completion of the course under the

of the several large conservatories

which arrangement the pupil may
