OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ON THE RESIGNATION
Some Say Berlin Will Look on
Note Now as Not Backed
by All Of U. s.

MILWAUKEE. Wis. June s.-Milwaukee
Germans Of prominence, with few ex-
ccptions. refused to ommen tonight on
the Bryan resignation. but the under
wing tone Is of satisfaction, for they
believe that the notes severity OF tenor
will be discounted In Berlin by the Bryan
refusal to sponsor II and that Bryan's
attitude will lead Germany to leila
making any sharp, decisive response.
Not ono or n dozen leading Germans
would say what effect the Bryan action
will have on future elections. Germans
here are strongly. almost solidly Re
publican, but Bryan's attitude appears
such as to command their support and
approval.
August ]. fAndemann, president OF the
Neutrality League OF Wisconsin. said:
"Bryan's resignation will almost GER
tainly cause Berlin 10 discount n tone
~ ~terseness In the Wilson note. II
would he probably correct II Berlin were
to regard a severe tone In this note as
lacking solid national backing. for
Berlin knows az we'll as We do here
that Bryan has a strong personal fol-
lowing.
Berlin will not believe that II the
Wilson note implied warlike cv%cntuali-
ties II can be meant seriously. This
e course might mean a defiant response.
but ! am sure Germany II the United
States have a common aim. the freedom
ot the sea. and that Germany will take
advantage Of this situation TO strive for
an agreement rather n n "a rupture with
tho United States. Personally I believe
the American people are with Bryan
against war"
Emil Won Schleinits, editor Of the
Germanid Horold. who has declared his
loyalty 10 the United States In any
