Thinks America Should by All

Order to Lead Warning Ma
tons Back to Normal

Washington, June 12.--william j.
Bryan tonight issued his sixth state
ment to the American people IN ex-
PLANTATION of his opposition to the
Presidents last note to Germany. and
withdrawal from the Cabinet
His address tonight Ia devoted
mainly to detailed reply TO the
question why he refused to sign the
last note to Germany. after having
signed the two preceding notes on
the same subject. 1t appears that his
chief reason was the fear that the
note might provoke Germany into
breaking or diplomatic relations with
the United States and he was not
willing to incur any of the respon-
ability for such an occurrence OF -tA
consequences. He again implies that
President Wilson's course has greater
Possibilities Of war than the course
urged by him.
Mr.. Bryan also makes the statement
tonight that an important change was
made in the note between the time of
his resignation and the dispatch of the
note on its way to Germany. This as
sertion aroused the keenest interest
here. inasnuch as at the state De-
partment the impression has been
given that such changes as were made
In the note during this brief period
were Of little importance. The State
Department has pointed out. toos that
tho note was shown to Mr.. Bryan In
it, final form before II was sent. and
that the alterations appeared TO make
no change In his attitude.
Here is Mr.. Bryan's statement:
Tells OF Different Conditions.
My attention has been called to o
number of newspaper editorials and
articles. which. In varying language.
ask the question: Why did Mr.. Bryan
sign the first note to Germany and
then refuse 10 sign the second7' The
argument presented in this question
IL based upon the suposition THAI the
two notes were substantially the same.
and that the second note simply re-
iterates the demands contained in the
first. They then declare II incon-
ststcnt TO sign one and refuse to sign
the other. The difference between the
two cases would seem, obvious enough.
TO make an answer unnecessary. bat
lest silence on the subject be taken
a. an admission of inconsistency. the
following explanation Is given:
THE notes must be considered IN
connection with the conditions under
which they were sent. The first note
