Bryan Rejoices Over
Change in Press Tone

Washington, June 11.-Ex-Secretary
Bryan issued a statement to-day ex-
pressing his qualification over what he
termed change in the tone of the
press regarding the American note to
Germany.
81 am glad to note the change in the
tone of the press in regard to the note
to Germany" said Mr.. Bryan. From
the time the papers began to publish
forecasts down to yesterday the lingo
editors have been predicting that the
matter would be dealt with with great
firmness'; that Germany would be told
that there must be no more delay in
the acceptance of this country's de-
mands. etc.
Instead of waiting until the note
was issued, they put their own con-
struction upon it in advance and colored
it to suit their own purposes. It is
relief 20 find the papers now emphasize
ing the friendly tone Of the note and
pointing out that it does not neces-
sarily mean war.
Something has been gained II the
warrior journalists at last realize that
the country does not want war, but
that, on the contrary, il will support
the President in his efforts to find a
peaceful solution Of the difficult problem
raised by the use of the submarine
against merchantmen"
Mr.. Bryan was reminded of the sug-
gestion of some of his friends that in
case of war he would be one of the
first TO enlist.
81 do not want to talk about war, but
on one occasion | enlisted to defend
my country on the first day war was
declared" he replied.

In statement issued by Ernest
Bohm, corresponding secretary OF the
Central Federated Union, Mr.. Bryan
was eulogized as the one man who could
work effectively among the laoorlng
classes for peace.
The members of the unions national

Bohm, believed that Mr.. Bryan should

Strength Behind His Soft
Spoken Words.
BRYAN MANIFESTO
COSTS POPULARITY
London Turns Against the EX-
Secretary as a Fanatic of
Dangerous Type.
nv Cable TO The Trbuusl

London. June ll.-Probably because
William J. Bryan's sudden resignation
as Secretary Of State led them to ex-
pect something very drastic, President
Wilson's reply to Germany's note is a
disappointment 10 the people IN gen
eral here. Their hopes had run high
that this note would be much stronger
than the first one and bring on definite
crisis between the two nations, forcing
Germany either TO climb down or
definitely fout America.
In official circles, however strength
is discerned behind Mr.. Wilson's soft
snoken words. The Presidents at
tributes of obstinacy and obduracy in
gaining his ends when once he decides
inst what he wants and the fruitless
efforts Of Europe TO swerve him from
the course follow ed in Mexico are re-
called. Discerning officials consider
that as President Wilson is definitely
Sc: on obtaining satisfaction from Ger
many and assurances concerning her
submarine warfare. he will obtain what
he wants.
A deeper meaning is read into Mr..
Bryan's retirement than mere dis
agreement with :he terms Of the note.
II is believed B-yc@ aid not retire so
much on account f what was actually
contained in che note as because of
what he knew the President was pre-
pared to do il Germany failed to give
sat sfaction. probably being convinced
at the same time that Germany would
not make concessions.
No Result Expected.
Wilson'S ready offer to act as inter
mediarv between Germany and England
will not il is believed here, bring ma
terisl results. As often officially
pointed out here. the British did not
initiate the methods which resulted in
the German submarine methods. They
applied blockade measures only after
Germany instituted her submarine war
fare on merchant ships. Great Britain
never has admitted and never will ad-
nit the German contention that the
submarine warfare was IN response 70

many
Germany has never made a definite
proposition to England to abandon the
submarine warfare if England lets up
on the blockade, although there has
been a good deal of loose talk about IT.
II the proposition is ever made, it is ex-
tremely doubtful that Great Britain
would accept it. The time has long
since passed when England would be
willing 10 accept German guarantees Of
any character. 1t is now held that If
the British should abandon the block

vigorously object, while in the same
breath declaring them futile. there is

Can This War Make
You Stop, Look and

The impossible is happening. A few years
ago we were confident that there never could
be another great war. We felt that the people
of the worlds great nations were too civilized
too far advanced Yet, look at Europe to-
dav. Even in this country, facing the situa-
ton squarey, we are far from secure We
are neutral-but more than one incident has
aroused us to the verge Of plunging into the
turmoil. We are neutral, but shall we main
tain the postionp The world seems to have
gone mad.
1t is madden than it was a thousand years ago
or a thousand years before that. That state
ment may sound exaggerated-but stop to
think moment.
1t is simply that behind all our masks of adj
vancement and enlightenment we are merely
human. as our ancestors were-with the
same fundamental feeling and lusts as our
predecessors since the beginning of time.
But here lies the difference. Our ancestors
thousand years ago went to church-beeved
in church, were tremendously influenced by
the church. Practically every churchman was
warrior. The church not only believed in
war, but often caused it, Because of this ire
mendous sway, if the church had thrown its
influence on the side of peace, in great many
instances war would have been avoided
