The most striking characteristic about
the new Secretary has been his natural
modesty, his absolute simplicity of man

Of any apparent desire to arrogate TO
himself any influence or position not in

Lansing Was Loyal "a Bryan.
Mr. Lansing's loyalty TO Mr. Bryan
when the latter fwas Secretary OF State
was matter OF widespread comment in
Washington. for 1t was known that he
disagreed with Mr.. Bryan on many inn
portant subjects. Yet no criticism of
the departed Secretary of State ever
was known TO escape Mr.. Lans ng's lips.
In fact. he often bespoke for Mr.. Bryan
more favorable consideration than he
received from the public and press.
Only a few In Washington were in
clned to take exception to the Lansing
appointment and they were Democrats
who felt that this important post ought

others, especially those familiar with

was highly commended. The fact that

II happens that Mr.. Lansing is a
Democrat. but no mans political aiiil!-
atoms ever counted for less In connec-

as "A Republican or "A Democrat. and he

The memorandum is devoted chiefly to
British comment on the situation that
has arisen through the assertion by
Great Britain of her right to detain neu-
tral vessels carrying non-contraband
cargocs that are destined to or from
Germany through the ports OF neutral
countries.
This is the feature OF the British
orders in council against which the
United States has protested most Wig
orously. The Administration has con-
tended that Great Britain had no right
under the principles OF International
law to interfere with such neutral nom
contraband cargoes going 10 and coming
from the ports of neutral countries.
The United States has been prepared
TO take 4 strong stand On this question
and decision already has been reached
by President Wilson and the members
OF his Cabinet to send another note 10

servance OF international law In this

Only the desire tn avoid confusing the
