Bryan's resignation as an indication
that President Wilson's rejoinder to

Germany may result.

comment on the resignation Of Secre-
+, tary OF State Bryan in New York
papers today was in part as follows:
Times-"Mr. Bryan has done well
in resigning. 1t is perhaps the wisest
act of his career. 1t was out of ques-
ton that he should remain secretary
of state"
Sun-"Tn almost any other circu1n-
stances the country would have ea-
joyed to hear that Mr.. Bryan had CIV
en- up place for which his fantastic
unlitness had long been but too ap-
parent. He deserts the president at
a moment Of grave international COM
plications."
American--''Mr. Bryan has besn
keenly alive to the injustice and the
danger of that sort of neutrality
which consists of asking one thing OF
Germany and another thing of the al
lies. Violation of this policy of even
handed neutrality, Mr.. Bryan thinks
will lead to war;
World-"We are not questioning Mr.,
Bryan's sincerity. What we are I'M
peaching is MIR. Bryan's judgment.
Not strong at best, that Judgment new
er worked to more deplorable pur-
pose than when he broke with Presi
dent Wilson on an issue which in 1ss
present aspects is still academic
