Indorses The Ameri-
can Note

Indianapolis, Ind, June H.
Il have read with a very great
deal OF pleasure and satisfaction
the official communication to
the German government, said
Vice President Marshall today.
Il shall be~greatlv surprised if
there shall be found any large
number of men i'll America who
do not fully approve of its tone
and contents. The president is
meeting conditions and no diff
ference how much we may all
desire arbitration and universal
peace, peace conditions are not
changed by such desires. He
speaks the voice of our common
humanity, and l shall be greatly
disappointed if the German
government does not coincide
with his views.
1--WE are a peace loving and
peace seeking people and we
will meet the powers of the
world on that basis whenever it
may be possible to devise a
workable plan. But until that
time comes there are few of us
who will not insist upon our
rights. {
"The president could not con-
sent to a principle which would
not put the government behind
an American wherever he may
lawfully be. This is the ira
ditlonal course insisted upon
properly by the American
people,"

Bryan to German-Americans

Washington, June l1.-Wil-
liam J. Bryan tonight issued an
appeal addressed to "The Ger
man-Americans" urging them to
aid in maintaining peace be-
tween the United States and the
fatherlanJ-b by eyerting their in
fluence with the German
government topersuade it not to
take any steps that would lead
in the direction of war.
With this statement Mr.. Bryan
expects to end for the present
bis efforts to lay before the
public the situation which
caused him to resign the port
folio of secretary of state. On
Wednesday he gave out an ex-
planation of why he left the
cabinet rather than sign the last
American note to Germany re-
garding submarine warefare;
yesterday he issued an appeal to
the American people" to stand
for persuasion rather than for
force in asserting rights under
international law, and today he
made a brief statement express
ing qualification at what he
termed change of tone on the
part of the lingo editors" re-
garding the note to Germany.

There's a Reason.

Young Adolphus de Milyuns
was out driving his own car. He
was scorcher, and believed in
going straight ahead. 1t was in
the heart of Yorkshire, says The
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Suddenly a terrified c1ucking
under the wheels told him some
accident had happened. He
pulled up and glanced back.
Two fowls lay dead IN his track,
while another two were fleeing,
screeching, back to home and
safety.
"That'll be ii shillings,
please" remarked a burly man in
cordurovs, who appeared on the
scene promptly; that's three and
six apiece for the four"
-Four" gasped Adolphus.
But | only killed two"
THAT'S right" agreed the
fowls owner: "but them other
two will never lay a blessed egg
after this"
'I'm sorry" said the motorist,
as lie handed over the money
"Due to the fright, supposer'
The countryman shook his
head as he slammed the silver
into his pocket.
Partly fright" he agreed
slowly; "but mainly | reckon it's
because they amt hens!"

Fire at McBee

a fire at McBee last night des
troyed the building of the MeBee
Supply company. The fire was
discovered about l o'clock IN the
interior of the building and had
gained such headway until ii was
impossible to control the flames.
The bank building next door did
not burn as it was protected by a
thick brick wall. 1t is under
stood that the loss is partly COW

Political Effect of Bryan's Act.

1t might appear unseemly to
be discussing the mere political
aspect of the recent Cabinet
change, but Colonel Bryan's in.
sistance on making statements
and explanations has made such
discussion proper and legiti-
mate. II would have been bet
ter for his political aspirations if
he had sealed his lips with the
signing of his name to his letter
OF retirement. for the country
will take his action as an effort
to turn the affair TO his personal
advantage. 1t would seem to be
"a case of seeking "vindication,' -
such as we recently had in
North Carolina. There is no
evidence whatever that Colonel
Bryan expects to turn against
the Administration now or al
any future time, but his agita.
ton for public endorsement is
not in the interest of harmony
for the National Democracy.

Champions New System of Love
And not Force

Washington, June l0.-Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, in an ap-
peal addressed "To the Amcri-
can People" tonight, asks them
to hear him before they pass
sentence on his laying down the
portfolio Of secretary in the
midst of International stress.
Confident that the public will
credit him with honorable in
tentions. Mr.. BRYAN frankly
says that good intentions are not
enough and that if the public
verdict is against him he asks
no mercy, asserting that men in
public life must be willing 10
bear any deserved punishment
from ostracism to execution"
Interpreting the American
note to Germany on submarine
warfare, which he refused to
sign, as conforming to the ''old
system" of diplomatic stand
ards, precedents for which "are
written in characters of blood
upon almost every page OF
human history" and character
izing himself as a champion OF
the new system-persuasion in
stead of force-and as "an
humble follower of the Prince
of Peace" the former secretary
of state pleads for the United
States to lead the world "ou1
of the black night of war into
the light of that day when
swords shall be beaten into
plowshares.' "
Tomorrow Mr.. Bryan will is
sue another statement, an appeal
he says, to German American. -
The nature of this appeal he
would not discuss. But with
the issuance of the third state.

Lusitania Was Not Armed

Washington, June TO- The
United States in its latest note to
Germany, made public tonight,
formally asks the Imperial Gov.
ernment for assurance lhat
measures hereafter will b.
adopted TO safeguard "American
lives and American ships" on
the high seas. The alternative
in case of refusal is not stated.
1t was this note to which
William Jennings Bryan refused
to attach his signature, resigning
instead his portfolio of state,
thereby precipitating a dramatic
Cabinet crisis. Robert Lansing,
Secretary of State ad interim,
signed the communication which
went forth with the approval of
President Wilson and his entire
Cabinet.
Friendly terms characterize
the document, which renews
representations made in the
American note of May Is after
the Lusitania was torpedoed and
sunk. The German Govern
ment, 1t is declared must have
been miSinformed,' when il
assumed that the LuSitania car.
ried guns, as official information
is at hand to corroborate the
original contention of the
Washington Government-that
the Lusitan1a was an unarmed
passenger ship which, since it
did not resist capture could not
be sunk without transferring
passengers and crew to a place
of safety.
The communication informs
Germany that it is ION the
principle of humanity as we'll as
upon the law founded upon this
principle that the United States
must stand" Opportunity is
given 10 Germany to submit any
4eXldence that American officials
Ibid not execute their tasks
thoroughly in inspecting the
Lusitania before she sailed, but
the cardinal fact-that the liner
was given no warning and made
no resistances and was primarily
a passenger ship-the American
Government declares, throws in
to the background any special
circumstances of detail, land
lifts the case" out of the cless of
ordinary subjects of diplomatic
discussions or of an international
controversy.
The issuance of another state
ment by tormer Secretary Bryan
colncldent with the publication
OF the note tonight added to the
surprise in official quarters at
the character of MIR. Bryan's
argument. High officials said
the note employed the very pro,
cesS-perSuaSIon-Which Mr..
Bryan advocated and did not
necessarily lead to war.
A copy of the note was de
llvered to Count BernstorH, the
German Ambassador, who de.
clined 10 comment.

No matter what Mr.. BTY

above all others the Presid
should have been able TO IeAj

deserted his chief and his Gov
eminent in the midst Of an inter
national crisis the gravity of,
which cannot be overstated,
and he has done this, moreover.
with full understanding of the.
consequences which his action:
may precipitate.
That these may be serious
will have to be admitted. If
they do not prove so in the
event The virtue of such for
tunate escape cannot be accred-
tied to MIR. Bryan. True, he has
parted company with President
Wilson with mutual expires
slons of esteem, and this may be
all well, enough. But the world
will conStrue the situation
broadly; and so constituting it,
the enemies of the United States
will long extract comfort from
the fact that at the critical mo-
ment the policy OF the Ameri-
can government was able to
command the approval of its
own Secretary of State. 1t is
not simply that Mr. Bryan has
repudiated Woodrow Wilson.
He has repudiated also the
President of the United States,
the spokesman of the American
people, repudiated him, not on q
matter of internal policy, bui
before the world on a matter ia,
drssas sissais S,lss - = stttsssss
maintained between this country
and other civilized nations.
The import OF such conduct is
not to be disguised by soft
phrases. 1t is impossible that
any excuses which Mr. Bryan
may have to offer will cover his
offence. But it is uncomfortable
that his course succeed in rob
bing President Wilson of that
public confidence and support
which he SO vitality needs. And
if Germany still retained any
doubts as to Mr. Wilson's abso-
Lutte firmness, his determination
to stand to the position which
the American Government has
taken regardless of consequences
those doubts should now be
dissolved once and for all. The
fact that rather than weaken in
this matter the President has
been ready TO part company
with his chief Cabinet officer,
the man who had more to do
than any other with his nomi-
nation for the Presidency, is
conclusive.
