PARIS HAPPY over
BRYAN RESIGNATION
Pinchon Says Weakened Policy Has
Done Much to Lower United
States in Eyes of World.
'By &. F. BERTELLI.,


Paris, June 9.-Secretary Bryan's resig-
nation was the greatest news feature in
all of today's newspapers. 1t caused a
tremendous sensation everywhere, not
excluding official circles.
stephen Pinchon. former minister OF
foreign affairs. voiced the general senti-
ment in the following statement:
"Frenchmen have a feeling that his
weakened peace theories. ever since
the first Mexican crisis have resulted in
showing up Mr.. Wilson's administration
as cravenly and careful OF a clear-cut
policy toward even smaller foreign ma
tions. They now believe that henceforth
Americas voice will ring clear and strong
across the ocean whenever American in
terests are involved.
81 am not inclind to think the break
ing of diplomatic relations between
America and Germany will lead to war
Germany is most anxious over the pres
ent difference and is not likely to risk
the creation of a new incident which
might further anger the people of the
United States.
II rather expect that Germany will
cease her submarine war in compliance
with the American demand. The moral
effect of Mr.. Bryan's resignation is in
calculably in favor of the allies
La Liberte says: Bryan was a dan
gerous dreamer. The honor of the great
republic demanded Germany's answer of
yes or no Unfortunately. Mr.. Will
son has hitherto been hampered by hav-
ing at his side a pacificist whose own
theories were dearer to his heart than
the dignity of his country

than to thInk-more leader of the
masses than a statesman"

worker for world peace II is almost
ironical that the great world conflict in
which even now his own country may
become involved should have come about
during his tenure of office.
The Globe referred 10 Mr. Bryan's
armchair methods of diplomacy" say
ing:
1T has been evident for some weeks
past that forces have been at work in
the United States government separating
those who possess the will to do from
those who want only to talk. Mr.. Bryan
has evidently found force of circum-
stances too strong for his armchair
methods. His resignation. We trust re-
moves from the Wilson administration
the stumbling block in the way of real
action against Germany"
The Pail Mall Gazette. like most of the
other British papers. sees nothing to la
ment in the retirement of Mr.. BRYAN
from the American Cabinet and highly
praises President Wilson.

LONDON PAPERS DON'T LAMENT
BRYAN'S ACT; PRAISE WILSON
The Globe Laughs at Arm Chair Diplomacy of Commoner
and Says He Possessed Only Desire to Talk and
Would Not Act

London, June 9.-The resignation of
William Jennings Bryan as American
Secretary OF State caused a big sensation
here. All the London papers devoted
much space to the news today and COM
mented upon it and its effect in long
editorials For the first time the Ameri-
can colony is seriously discussing the
possibility of war between the United
States and Germany. Many prominent
Americans called at the American EN-
bassy to inquire at that official source
for news of the latest developments in
the American-German situation.
The Star SAYS it is clear that President
Wilson's rejoinder in the diplomatic ne
gotiations over the Lusitania is entirely
different in tone from the American note
of protest, the indication being that it is
more aggressive in tone.
That the resignation of Mr. Bryan does
not necessarily mean war was the view
taken by the Standard. However,, it does
mean firmer stand and a more decided
American policy. according to this news
paper.
The Star comments as follows: Since
his appointment to office. Secretary Of
State Bryan has been an answering

PRIVATE CITIZEN BRYAN
TO RIDE PEACE HOBBY

Mr. Bryan gave out the follow :
ing statement to the public at the
time of the sending of the German
note. the time designated for his
resignation to take effect:
My reason for resigning is
clearly stated in my letter of resig-
nation. namely. that l may employ.
as a private citizen. the means
which the President does not feel
at liberty to employ. / honor him
for doing what he believes to be
right. and / am sure that he de-
sires. as l do. to find a peaceful So
luton of the problem which has
been created by the action of the
submarines.
Two of the points upon which we
differ. each conscientious in convic-
ton. are. first. as to the suggestion
of investigation by an international
commission. and. second. as to
warning Americans against travel
ing on belligerent vessels or with
cargoes of ammunition. believe
that this nation should frankly state
to Germany that we arc willing to
apply In this case the principle
which we nre bound by treaty to
apply to disputes between the
SutteO StOtcS ana inc tnIFty COune
tries with which VIC have made
OF all disputes Of every character
and nature.
Says Treaties Prevent War.
These treaties. negotiated under
this administration. make war prac-
ticalIy impossible between this
country and these thirty govern
ments. representing nearly three
fourths of all the people of the
world. Among the nations with
which we have these treaties are
Great Britain, France and Russia.
No matter what dispute may arise
between us and these treaty ma
tons. we agree that there shall be
no declaration of war and no COM
mencement of hostilities until the
matters in dispute have been inves-
tigated by an interna tional commits
sion. and years time is allowed
for investigation and report. This
plan was offered to all the nations
without any exception whatever.
and Germany was one of the ma
tions that accepted the principle. be-
ing the twelfth. | think. to accept.
No treaty was actually entered
into with Germany, but l cannot see
that that should stand in the way
when both nations Endorsed the
principle. | do not know whether
Germany would accept the offer. but
our country should. in my judge
ment. make the offer. Such an Of
fer. if accepted. would at once re-
lieve the tension and silence all the
JinSoes who are demanding war.
Germany has always been n friend
ly nation, and a great many OF our
people are of German ancestry; why
should we not deal with Germany
according t. this plan to which the
nation has pledged its support:
Course rs to Travelers.
The second point of difference is
as TO the course which should be
pursued in regard to Americans
travelling on belIigerent ships or
with cargoes of ammunition. Why
should an American citizen be per-
mitted to involve his country in war
by travelling upon a belligerent ship
when he knows that the ship will
pass through a danger zone? The
question is not whether an Ameri-
can citizen has a right. under inter-

in his statement are as falla cious as his

In official circles. where the Bryan

the only fear eXrassed concerns its eff

Secretary of State assuming the role of

As far as Mr. Wilson's political for

Reclamation Is "ReErettable.''

GOtham's Mayor Says Bryan's
Reclamation Is "ReErettnble.''
SPECIAL 10 The Washington Herald.
New York, June Back after his
Western trip of five weeks. Mayor
Mitchell discussed at some length the
national issues growing out of the
resignation of Secretary Bryan.
"In a matter concerning the policy
of the President of the United States
and under circumstances so grave
feel il is very regretable Mr.. Bryan
should have seen fit to resign" said
the mayor. Political considerations
are usually sunk at such times.
Mr.. Bryan's resignation is unfortu-
nate in that it may indicate a division
of public sentiment in this country
which does not exist. The nation is
solidly behind Mr.. Wilson. His first
note to Germany had the peoples COM
pIete support: the people have COM
plete confidence in the note he is now
preparing.
AS to the political aspects of the
situation Mr.. Mitchell said:
Il do not see that Mr.. Bryans act

| national law. to travel on a bellig-
erent ship: the question is whether
he ought not. out of consideration
for his country if not for his own
safety. avoid danger when avoid
ance is possible. 1t is a very one
sided citizenship that compels a
government to go to war over a
citizens rights and yet relieves the
/ citizen of all obligation to consider
his nations welfare.
Il do not know just how far the
President can legally go in actually
preventing Americans from travel
ing on belligerent ships. but be-
lieve the government should go as
far as it can. and that in case Of
doubt it should give the benefit of
the doubt to the governmentA But
even if the government could not
legally prevent citizens from travel
ing on belligerent ships. it could.
and in my judgment should. ear
nestly advise American citizens not
to risk themselves or the peace OF
their country. and I have no doubt
that these warnings would be heed
ed. President Taft advised Ameri-
cans to leave Mexico when insurrec-
ton broke out there. and President
:. ilson has repeated the advice.
This advice. in my judgment. was
eminently wise. and think the
same course should be followed in
regard to warning Americans to
keep off of vessels subject to at
tack.
ANN unitlo. Imperils Lives.
81 think, too. that American pas
senger ships should be prohibited
from carrying ammunition. The
lives of passengers ought not to be
endangered by cargoes of ammuni-
ton. whether that danger comes
from possible explosions from with
in or from possible attacks from
without. Passengers and ammuni-
ton should not travel together. The
attempt to prevent American citizens
from mourning these risks is en-
tirely consistent with the efforts
which our government is making to
prevent attacks from submarines.
The use of one remedy does not ex-
clude the use of the other.
The most familiar illustration is
to be found in action taken by mu-
nicipal authorities during a riot. 1t
is the duty of the mayor to sup
press the mob and to prevent vio-
lence, but he does not hesitate to
warn citizens to keep off the streets
during the riot. He does not ques-
tion their right to use the streets.
but. for their own protection and in
the interest of order. he warns them
not to incur the risks involved in
going upon the streets when men
are shooting at each other.
The President does not feel jus
titled in taking the action above
suggested: that is, he does not feel
justified. first, in suggesting the
of the controversy to in
or. second. in warning
the people not to incur the extra
hazard involved in travelling on bel
ligersnt ships or on ship carrying
ammunition: and he may be right
in thu position he has taken, but as

both of 'hese propositions and to
