BRYAN NOT .
!. A FACTOR
President Wilson Says Dispatch
%
Has Not Consulted Him on
Lusitania Affair.

Chicago, May ia dispatch TO the
Herald from Washington says:
president Wilson's failure to con.
suit Secretary Bryan regarding the
Lusitania disaster has aroused a great
deal of comment in Washington.
Some of the secretary's friends
fear the country will interpret this
strange conduct as evidence Of Mr..
Wilson's desire to show that he has
no confidence in he premier of his
cabinet. Mr.. Bryan himself processes
to be perfectly satisfied with the atti-
tude Of his chief.
He admitted today that he bad not
seen the President nor communicated
with him. The state department, how
ever, has transmitted to the White
House every official and unofficial dis
patch it has received bearing upon the
Lusi .ania and k~indredscases.
ts''lt is the general Impression here
that Secretary Bryan IS as ignorant as
the rest Of the American people as to
wlat oDilion the President has form
a Of tie killing Of Americans in the
Lusitania and as to what measure the
President regards as necessary to
meet the grave question concerning
the government. Naturally, this stu
alton has brought various suggestions
offered in explanation of the Presi-
dents failure to consult Mr.. Bryan.

There are indications that the

"I regard the possibilities Of the de-
%structiOn Of American lives on the
Lusitania as even more dangerous to
the nation than those involved in ~

SAYS GERMANY R i
IS Confident
London Times Declares There Is
Little Hope From the United
States.

The principal themes Of editorial
discussion in the newspapers continue
to be advocacy of drastic treatment
for Germans in Great Britain and ur-
iosity as to what action the United
States will take in reference to the
Lusitaaia disaster. The idea at first
entertained that the Washington gov
eminent would adopt drastic measures
slowly is vanishing, however. Sir
Valentine Chirol, writing in the Times
attributes the German submarine acti-
witty entirely to Albert BALM, director
general of the Hamburg-American
Steamship line, who for years has
been one of Emperor Williams most
trusted advisers in all questions of mar
thine policy. He believes, therefore,
the sinking of the Lusitania was due
more to Herr Balm than any other
German. Sir Valentine declares Herr
Rallin %dissuaded Germany's ruler from
going to war in 1912 over Agadir be-
cause the German submarine was not
then developed to a point where it
could exact effective reprisals from
the British mercantile marine.
Discussing the attitude of the Unit
ed States toward Germany the Times
says it "does not complain because of
lack of vigorous action at Washing
ton, but says. 1--WE are concerned only
to make the British people understand
they must not look to the United
States, nor any other external factor
but must rely upon themselves and
allies. Whatever prompted the sink.
ing Of the Lusitania it means that the
German nation is so confident of ulti-
mate victory it does not care in the
least what the United States may say
or do" 't
