MAN IN THE STREET COULDN'T SEE
WHAT MADE "BILL" BRYAN so MAD
Wilson's Note Sounded Md He Was Expecting Get Up
This Morning to the Sound of Drums With AN the
Papers Printed IN Red Ink

"BIll' Bryan gave me the shock of my
life" said Conductor rs today, as he
glanced at the newspaper which was
handed to him by a passenger and turned
TO the sporting page. He got me all
keyed up to expect war and then, when Il
all come out. It seems that Wilson Only
wanted to say what everybody else was
saying"
Nothing to It," was the remark passed
by a man who came downtown two hours
ahead of time to read on the LEDGER
bulletin board about the sailing of the
American fleet for the war zone" which
he imagined would be ordered during the
night or early this morning II think
have inside information about this Bryan
reslgning business, He wants to run for
Coroner of Lincoln. Neb, and he thought
it would help his campaign out there to
resign as Secretary of State in a huff.
And think he'll be elected"
Everywhere the opinion of the Man
in the street was asked there was a
curious mixture of relief and disappont-
ment in the replies. Relief that the
Presidents note was not an ultimatum in
the sense of giving the Germans "a or
i6 hours to comply with his demands,
and a perverse disappointment which
showed that there had been lurking de-

sire for the mllltaristic excitement which
Mr.. Bryans course of action seemed to
have inspired.
II can't see why It was so polite" said
Miss Alva Reddlng, stenographer who is
a suffragist, and therefore entitled to
opinion on any question relating to ma
tional, international and interplanetary
affairs; ut was all your Excellency this
and your Excellency that, and how the
Kaiser or whoever it is could be offended
Is more than I can see. 1t seems to me
that every one involved is a perfect gen
teman."
1t was pointed out that even declara-
tons of war were gentlemanly and that
Mcphistopheles himself and other pollti-
clans had perpctuated their vogue by Just
such gentlenlanly habits of speech.
"Bosh," she replied How about the
Raised when he tore off King Georges
badges?" She was unanswerable.
The Curbstone Cabinet met in early ses-
sion and it was soon to appear that its
members disagreed with her
ITS just that dignihed way of acting
as If you expected the Germans to be
the most hish.mlnded people in the uni
verse. That is the best way Of telling II
to them, said man who refused to be
quoted. It's calling on the Kaiser to
put real teeth in his kultur."

SHIP SUPPOSED LOST
REACHES PORT AT LAST
Hoary Sailing Vessel, Weather
beaten, Between Italy and
U. S. 122 Days.

A grmy weather-beat old square.
rlgeer Is at anchor of League Island to-
day after a trip across the Atlantic s.
! days slower than the voyage Of Chris
| topher Columbus in the Santa Maria.
/ There are gaps In the planking Of her
/ deck house; other woodwork above deck
/ not absolutely essential and the cabins,
likewise, have suffered In the l22 days
Of drifting up and down the Atlantic.
| The missing wood went to feed the fire
while the ship was in cold latitudes.
The vessel is the Italian bark Tripoli
Captain Giovanni Valavin. He and the
II members OF his crew have been liv-
ing on few ships biscuits and a little
water for weeks. All are worn and ema-
ciated None Of the crew knew Italy
was at war until the anchor was dropped
and the vessel was stormed by port Of
fcers and maritime men with congratula-
tions.
Two months ago or more the Tripoli
was posted as missing. She had been
given up as lost. Shipping men had
ceased to hope for her Ordinarily the
trip from Savona, italy, her port Of de-
parture, to this city should require 30
days.
But yesterday morning the tug Juno
was scouting around the Breakwater,
waiting for a Job or two, when the cap
tain sighted the bark against the horizon.
The tug crulsed about and waited until
the sailing vessel came nearer AS they
approached, the captain Of the tug pinched
himself and rubbed his eyes. He called
his mates and others aboard, who know
every boat that touches Atlantic ports.
From the Breakwater to League Island
the progress Of the Tripoli was more or
less Of a trlumphal cruise. The rail of
every ship that passed, ocean tramp or
river boat, was lined with men who read
the name on the bow Of the little square,
rigger and stared in astonishment The
rivermen thought It a phantom ship.
Captain Valavin explained through an
interpreter that he didn't run into
single storm, nor even a hard blow. The
trouble was the lack of wind For weeks
the vessel drfted UP and down the At
antic with the tides and currents. And |
when occasionally the breeze did come |
the bark was so fouled with barnacles |
hat her progress was slow.
II Durborow, the bank clerk long dis
ance swimmer, could keep up his regu-
ar pace he would beat the time made by
he Tripoli across the Atlantic Her aver
lgc was about 10 miles In q hours. The
'rlpoli Is carrying dirt ballast She is
he first vessel In years to come in to
his port with that kind of ballast as
learly all vessels now use water. About
OO00 bushels of grain will go to Italy on
he Tripoli, which also will be the first
ailing vessel in a long time TO take a
argo of grain from this port.

U. s. READY TO SERVE
It is recognized here that the United
States at this time can do no more than
offer its services but the acauiescence in
the suggestion Of Germany is expected to
contribute to the hoped-for feeling in Ger
many that the United states is really
desirous Of being friendly in the present
international conflict although she cannot
modify her own demands as to the rights
Of the citizens OF the United States.
Altogether, the note is regarded as eiv-
ing to Germany every opportunity to
maintain good relations with the United
states There is no open threat Of a rup-
ture, and II thore be an iron fist behind
! the note, II is covered for the present by
the softenlng glove Of diplomacy and is
more discernible to the diplomatic than
TO the lay mind.
In both official and diplomatic circles
tho note Is regarded as firm but reason
able and the general impression is that
the tension will not again be SO great un-
less Germany absolutely refuses to give
THIS Government the assurances sought
In such event, It Is regarded In many
quarters as certain that the severance
OF diplomatic relations must follow
Until Berlin answers, the President and
his Cabinet and the officials who are aid
ing him In every way will assume that
the German reply will be friendly and
that she will give the asked-for assur- |

responsible official and no steps taken |
toward a next move by the President It |
Is accepted as a fact that II the German |
reply lis pVasiVn a refusal tbara will |
be nothing left for the President to do
but to withdraw Ambassador Gerard and |
the American consular representatives
from Germany.

ROME, June II.
Ohicial announcement Of the occupation
OF Podassno, in Trentlno. was made today
by the italian War once.
Furious counter attacks are being made
by the Austrlaps in an effort to retake

Along the Isonzo River the battle for
the possession OF the strategic heights on
the eastern bank and for Tolmino contin-
ues The capture Of Monfalcone by the
italians is regarded by military experts
as one Of the most important achieve
ments OF the campaign.
Further progress for tho Italians is re-
ported from various quarters.
GoRITz BATTLE FURIOUS
For the last "a hours the battling near
Goritz has been more furious than at any
other point along the Isonzo. The Italians
at one stage rushed a small force across
the river, but it's ranks we're thlnned by
steady machine gun hre from tbs
Austrian trenches and forced to retire.
italian gunnors gave a heavy lombard
ment on the bridge on the east bank OK
the river and the fight to dislodse the
Austrian batteries Is continuing with
great violence. From 5000 to 10000 have
been lost in the operations In Gorilla.
A tremendous night and day lombard
ment of the Austrian forts of Santa
Lucia and Santa Maria. defending Toll
mino, is being carried on by the Italians.
From Caporetto south of Monfalcone,
the 1sonzo fighting, despite the flooded
condition OF the valley, is resulting sat

Cadorna reported to the War Office to-
day. Since the general advance against |
the river positions began more than 1000 |
Austrian prisoners have been taken.
AUSTRIAN ATTACKS RENEWED.
Though they lost more than 500 in |
killed and wounded in previous attempts
to retake FreIkopel Pass, the Austrians
have renewed the struggle at that point,
bringing up reinforcements. The nature
OF the pass is such that only small bodies
can be engaged at one time, but as quick
ly as one line is slaughtered the Aus
trians rush reserves in to close the gaps.
Heavy artillery has proved useless at
freikopel and in other battle in narrow
mountain passes Light mountain pieces
nave been wheeled up some of the heights,
but machine guns are playing the most
important part.
The tactics in each of these bloody
struggles along high mountain trails are
nearly the same. The defenders barricade
themselves behind defenses erected across
the road at its narrowest point and sweep
the road with deadly fire from machine
guns.
Against this curtain of bullets the at
tacking forces must hurl one body after
another Of troops in an attempt to over
whelm the enemy by a succession of
human avalanches When the Austrians
were finally driven off in their last at
tack at Freikopel, the Italian ramparts
were piled high with Austrian bodies.
