BRYAN Undecided on Next
Move In His Effort For Peace
By rhe United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-Former
Secretary Of State william Jennings
Bryan was mapping out his future
course today He was in quiet touch
With his closest friends and advisors,
rom bis home here, endeavoring to
iecide on the best method by which
ie can promote peace. His successor
n the office of premier of the govern
nent. Robert Lansing. was admins
.eriug the affairs OF state with a
snootbness that gave promise Of
weeping success for the man who
nay finally he named as secretary.
Discussion OF permanent success
So 70 Seer retary Bryan was confined
generally, ~ inside administration
circles, to Lansing and Secretary
Lane Many Of the friends Of John
sassett Moore former counsellor,
we're urging HE appointment but
there war one obstacle in his way that
seeme6 insurmountable---he retired
from the department after friction
with Secretary Bryan. The latter is
uill an immense power in national
Affairs and Democratic politics He
and his friends could be depended on
10 resent any action that would seem
10 be slight upon him.
Counsellor and Acting Secretary
Lansing was believed by many to be
the Presidents real choice. He is
nominally a Democrat, but has never
worked very hard at politics. He is a
wonderful student of international
law. however, has the Presidents
complete confidence, and is of the
type already selected by the execu-
tive to aid him in the administration.
The chief objection, of course, is that
he. is not politician. The secretar-
les of state usually are politicians,
and the Democratic leaders would
ike very much to have a man named
who understands the necessity of pa
.ronage to a party that wants to stay
n power.
Suggestions that Republican
might be named brought many pro-
tests to the White House. II was
smphatically stated there. that the
President would keep his party in
mind when he finally selects the
permanent official, which he is re
tuired under the law to do within
hirty days.
Meanwhile the political effect Of
Secretary Bryan's withdrawal was
the chief topic of conversation in
political circles. He will remain
; in Washington for a couple Of weeks
at least, although he said this morn
ing that he might make a Weekend
trip either to New York or Philadel-
phia. His plans are stilf incomplete,

FOx-HUNTERS IN THE WAR
Thousands of Men Who Enjoyed That
Sport In Britain Are Now at
the Front.

Waterloo. according to the duke Of
Wellington, was won on the playing
fields of Elton. Should Britain emerge
triumphant from the present conflict
we may find someone rising to claim
that the campaign in Flanders was
won in the English shires. The shires
are the headquarters of fox-hunting,
which most humanitarians denounce.
George Bernard Shaw, for example,
has no words strong enough to con-
denim it with. Mr.. Jorrocks, the hero
of a sporting novel, describing fox
hunting as war without its guilt and
only 25 per cent of its danger" 1t has
to be admitted, however, that they
who follow the hounds have answered
magnificently to their ceuntrys call.
There are, it proves, $50 masters
of hounds with the British colors, 5000
members of hunts and 1900 hunt serv-
ants. To them must be added the Of
ficers of the regular army who are &C.
customed to ride to hounds, likewise
numbering some thousands. The total
is an impressive one. 1t suggests that
the real attraction of this sport may
be that it is, as Jorrocks said, "a sort
OF war"
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1915-07-02
July d.

The United States of America is
1873 years old. These be ripe years,
yet the most captious critic must
grant that the nation is well grown,
even for it's age.
1t is well grown in more than mere
size and material wealth. This ami
versary of its birth finds the great
republic Jealous for the right at home,
and earnestly trying to serve man
kind" abroad. 1t presents the most
unusual spectacle of a giant nation
using its strength, not as giant, but
as a friend; generously, unselfshly
helping weak and wrangllng neighbors
to better ideals and happier conditions.
The glory OF this unselfish service
will last far longer than the glamor
of any war of conquest.
