WASHINGTON, June 1S.-A new
turn was given to the war zone sltua-
ton, involving relations between the
United States and Germany and this
country and Great Britain, when 1t be-
came known today that the London
government had indicated that 1t Will
answer the American protest OF March
80 against the British order In council
This report was Of great interest to Of
ficials for 1t was agreed that the Brit
ish reply may have an important bear
ing on the future negotiations for the
freedom Of the seas.
While this government has endeav-
ored to deal independently and sepa-
rately with the British blockade and
the German submarine policy, the
kaiser's government has insisted upon
linxing it's submarine warfare with the
blockade order OF Great Britain and
las argued that the United states
should endeavor to bring about modl-
fication OF the British order In coun-
Gil. The two questions, therefore,
have had a certain connection all
along, despite the efforts Of the United
States to handle them one at time.
II this country now should make
progress In its negotiations with Great
Britain it Is expected here that such
NEGOTIATIONS would have a bearing on
the relations between this government
and Germany and upon the German
reply to the recent note OF President
Wilson.
There were no indications in off,
cial quarters here today that the Ger
man reply will be forthcoming within
the next ten days and prior estimates
that Germany will require at least
three weeks to formulate its reply are
held to be correct. The delay, how
ever, does not cause pessimism among
officials and their hopes are high that
an amicable adjustment may be reach
ed. A settlement of present dhficul.
ties existing between this country and
England and the United States and
Germany practically would wipe the
diplomatic slate clean of trouble ex
cept Mexico -.
In connection with the German sit
uation, Washington still is interested
in the published charges that hoax
was perpetrated on this government
when it aided in the safe return home
of DR.. Meyer Gerhard. the Red Cross
agent. The German ambassador ha:
issued a denial of the story that thu
emissary of the embassy really was
DR.. Meyer, a purchasing agent OF tn
German army, and that this govern
ment was imposed upon. The Germal
ambassador was so indignant over tn
story that he sent word he woul'
come to Washington to enter pei
sonal reputation Of the charge at tn
state department.

U. s. MUST OFFER PEACE
TO NATIONS SAYS BRYAN

WASHINGTON, June 18.-William
Jennings Bryan in his third statement
today pointed the way out of the
"causless war" now raging in Europe.
He declared the war has demonstrated
the futility of attempting to settle
disputes by military means, that it is
the duty of the United States, as
the most powerful neutral nation to
persistently offer to mediate between
the nations. No matter how many
times the offer is declined, this coun-
try should renew 1t until it is finally
accepted, he said.
Arbitration Of the differences be.
tween the nations must follow.
For the future he declared, a vast
educational campaign against war
must be preached by all the Christian
nations. Then peace treaties SINH
lar to those negotiated by the United
States with thirty nations binding
them not to open hostilities until after
a year Of investigation should be en-.
tered into by all the powers.
How to Stop War.
Having considered war as it is and
the injury which it does neutrals, and
then the origin of the war and the
cause which lead up to it we are now
ready to make inquiry as to the way
out, that is, the means by which hos
tilities can be brought to an end and
permanent peace restored. To state
in a sentence the precautions which
/ shall proceed to elaborate:
Mediation is the means, provided by
international agreement, through
which the belligerent nations can b
brought into conference; time for thu
investigation OF all disputes Is tn
means by which future wars can b.
