prepared to the German reply to the
Lusitania note. Acting Secretary Rob
ert Lansing will sign the document
and it will be cabled to Berlin.
Secretary Bryan returned to private
life June 8, when his resignation took
effect 1t was learned that he intends
to continue his political support of the
president.
Rather than sign the document he
believed might possibly draw the
United States into war, Mr.. Bryan sub
mitted his resignation in letter de-
claring that "the issue involved is OF
such moment that to remain mem
Der of the cabinet would be as unfair
to you as it would be to the cause
which is nearest my heart namely,
the prevention of war;
The president accepted the resig-
nation in a letter of regret, tinged
with deep personal feeling of affec-
ton.
Dramatically the official relation of
Mr.. Bryan with the administration OF
the man whose nomination he assist
ed SO materially in bringing about at
the Baltimore convention of 1912 came
to an end. 1t caused sensation in
the national capital scarcely parallel
ed in recent years Ambassadors,
ministers and diplomatists from for
eign lands, officials of every rank and
station, heard the news as it was
flashed by newspaper extras. They
interpreted variously it's effect on the
delicate situation that had arisen be-
tween Germany and the United States.
The resignation of the stanchest adj
vocate of peace in the presidents Of
fetal family spread broadcast the be-
lief that the policy of the United
States as definitely determined upon
would assert and defend the rights OF
the United States in any eventuality
that might arise.
That there had been friction be-
tween the president and MI. Bryan
has been the undercurrent of COM
ment for several weeks, but as the
president heretofore had always been
able to secure the acquiescence of the
secretary in his point of view, talk of
resignation was discounted generally.
Robert Lansing, successor to John
Bassett Moore as counsellor of the
state department, became secretary
of state ad interim June 8, when Sec
rotary Bryan's resignation took eff
feet. He is son-in-law of John w.
Foster, secretary of state under Pres
ident Harrison, lifelong Democrat,
and has been an international lawyer
for many years.

Three boas are shown here, one in
white, one in the natural tan and
white color of the feathers, and the
third in black tipped with white. In
the last the white fiue is tied or pasted
on to the colored flue, and there Is
an endless variety in combinations to
choose from in boas made in this way.
But the boa may be had now in any
color, even the most unusual new tints
and shades.
It is to be remembered that bit of
rich and fluffy neckwear presupposes
a hat to correspond. In the group
pictures here white fabric hat is
shown trimmed with pattern applied
in small black beads about the brim
edge. It has collar of white ribbon
with small squares of embroidery in
black, and white rose is mounted
near the edge of the front brim. The
second bead-trimmed hat shows a re-
versal of color; white beads are APP
piled to a black hemp shape with fac
ing of white Grape.

The weavers of cotton cloths have
become expert in making fabrics much
like the heavier weaves of wool in ap-
pearance, as well as some novelties
that appear only in cotton. These
heavy weaves, including cotton cordu-

shown in basket weaves. They are
all used for the popular sport skirts
and summer coats that are featured

One of the best models for a coat
of cotton corduroy, corded cloth, or
fancy weaves in cotton, is shown in
the picture given here. Like a few of
the heavy linen weaves, it is unmus-

upon machine stitching and buttons
made by covering button molds with
the fabric. It is cut along the same
lines as popular sport coats of wool,

The ostrich boa has met with an
unanticipated but enthusiastic revival
of popularity, and seems destined to
outdistance other kinds of fluffy and
airy neckwear. The unusually cool
weather Of spring has made some sort
of protection almost necessity, and
there is no denying the becomingness
of soft feathers about the throat.
White fox. red fox and light gray or
tan fur neckpieces one sees with the
most summary of white turbans and
fiower-trimmed hats. This vogue is
probably reflection from the west
ern coast, for visitors to the Panama
exposition have found the weather
cool and everyone indulging in the
San Francisco privilege of wearing
furs with summer gowns.
The feather boa of today is short
as to length, long as to fiber, and liked
best in white, natural color or two
toned combinations. Occasionally a
boa more than long enough to lie
loosely about the throat is seen. but
not often. They all fasten with bows
of soft messaline ribbon, apparently,
or the exception is so rare as to
prove the rule.
Very smart sets consisting of boa
and ostrich-trimmed hats are shown,
and there are great numbers of cock
AIDES, fans, and other fanciful orna-
ments made Of ostrich to be used on
midsummer hats.

One of the many duties undertaken
by the United States coast and geo.
detic survey, which furnishes official
information about our sea coast and
harbors for the use of mariners plying
these waters, is that of predicting the
tides at any given station at any time
In the future. To gain this informa-
ton a new machine of a very cOmpli-
Gated nature has just been constructed
by the bureau and placed in operation
in the headquarters at Washington.
The tide levels for a year can be OBJ
tanned in from ten to fifteen hours for
any station. To the layman the ma
chine appears to be mass of little
wheels, knobs, cranks, chains and
glittering brass indicators, but the
new superintendent of the bureau, DR..
e. Lester Jones, explains the functions
of each part and finally arrives at the
roll of paper on one end on which two
fountain pens are drawing lines. One
of these draws line about the middle
of the roll which represents the mean
sea level while the the other draws a
varying line which represents the
tide. From this graphic record.

inches wide, representing the tides for

Shooting Civilians.

According to the laws Of war, any
civilian who is found with arms In
his possession is liable to be shot
without mercy. Although this seems
a very severe rule, it Is absolutely nee
essary for the safeguarding of the
whole civil population.
The rules of war say that no men
will be recognized as combatants IN
less they wear a distinguishing badge,
which can be easily recognized. Il It
were not for this, any number Of men
could at any time band themselves
together, and say they were belliger-
onts. If this were allowed, therefore.
invading troops would safeguard them
selves against surprises by killing
every man in villages through which
they marched
This particular rule is SO stringent
that even noncombatant who took
ub arms to defend his wife against
some drunken soldier would be liable
to be shot.
