Resignation Proper Course.
ne Philadelphia Inquire

From the Philadelphia inquirer.
There is no doubt whatever that the
President sincerely desires peace and
that he not only hopes for it. but ex-
poets il. We do not know what the
new note contains, but it can readily
be assumed that it stands by the for
mer one. Doubtless it sweeps away
the German evasions and pins the

currence of what has already taken
place: That is the main question to
be asked. we understand the situa :
ton, and certainly this government
can do no less than put ii to Berlin
in the expectation of a fsvors BILE reply.
If Mr.. Bryan cannot indorse such a
question ne has no right to bold a
seat in the cabinet of the President of
the United States. The shadow of a
non progressive if not a baneful in
1uence has passed from the White
House.

Germany Will Misinterpret.

From toe New York World.
Mr.. Bryan's resignation at this time
and in these circumstances is a sorry
service to his country. Americans un-
derstand Mr.. Bryan's passionate and
often ouixotic devotion to his ideals,
but this is not how his resignation
will impress the German government.
Germany does not know him Amer
ics knows him
II knows him only as Secretary of
State. an office corresponding TO that
held by Herr Won Jagow in Berlin and
Sir Edward Grey in London. 1t will
see in his resignation = divided gov
ernmeut. and its equivalent, divided
people. which is the one thing for
which German diplomacy has been
striving in the United States siGce the
beginning of the war. What we are
impeaching is Mir. Eryau's judgment
Not strong at best. that judgment
never worked to more GcpiorabIe pur
pose than when he broke with Presi-
dent Wilson on an issue which, In its
present aspects. is still academic.
Mr.. Bryans resignation, however un-
fortunate. cannot change the attitude
% the country toward the President.
Rather II will solidify public senti
ment still more strongly behind Mr.
Wilson. realizing, as every citizen
must realize, that the President in this
Crisis has greater need than ever of
emphatic popular support.

Bryan's Course Approved.

From The New York American
Many who have been little in ac-
cord with Mr. Bryan Will ap-
plaud the devotion to principle
that has led him to cut clear
from a policy which he justly appre-
hends may end in war. He has taken
the only course open to him, and is to
be commended for his strict adherence
to duty and the public welfare. as he
sees them. The nation may we'll hope
that the breakup of the Wilson cabi-
net may be the only serious result Of
the stubborn determination of the
President to force upon Germany un-
reasonable and impossible conditions
OF warfare. But if the note approved
by the cabinet yesterday is indeed of
such d character as to justify Mr..
Bryan's revolt it is to be feared that
the United States is opening new
and undesirable chapter in its history.

Exit Bryan.

From the Philadcphia Ledger.
Nothing in Mr.. Bryan's tenure OF the
office of Secretary of State becomes
him like the leaving Of it,
II would be at once unkind and
superfluous to dwell upon his failure
in his high Office. No one but himself
Is to blame for it. He cannot say
that the President has not supported
him Loyalty. as. indeed, he himself
has supported the President. He has
kept his followers in line for the ad-
ministration, often. no doubt. when the
temptation to let them revolt was hard
to resist. Whether his resignation
means a complete break with the ad-
ministration, whether he proposes to
rally those who agree with his views
regarding the issue with Germany to
an open fight for public approval. re-
mains to be seen. II Mr.. Bryan is
well advised he will hesitate long be-
fore he commits himself to such a
course. On that issue the nation as
whole will support the President to
the very end. whatever it may be.

MILITARY

One of the live issues now is ma
tional defense. Those closer to the
Atlantic seaboard have got the fever
worse than their brothers west OF
the Ohio, but apprehension over the
condition Of the army and navy is
gradually spreading to all portions OF
the nation, reducing the paci6st
movement to the rank Of a secondary
issue.
In New York, 1900 business mel
are taking voluntary military train
ing. The United States army officials
have detailed an instructor. SO popu'
lar is the movement that Governor
Whitman enrolled himself as a pri
vate in the rear rank for a two
weeks course. y Z
This spirit could be we'll emulatei
in other portions OF the nation. Tot
little attention has been given to mi
itary affairs by the rank and file oI
the citizens. This is one of the great
reasons that the national guard is no
as efficient as it might be.
Compulsory military instruction il
the eighth grade of Il public schools
and throughout the entire high schoo
course would be beneficial and give
the nation a nucleus of a valuable
military reserve.
What is good for 1000 business mel
in New York would be good for mil
lions of men and boys throughout thu
nation, who may be called some da!
to shoulder the musket in defense o
the natiel.
