BRYAN Makes PROTEST
AGAINST ENTERING war
Has Numerous Alternatives in Place
of Belligerent Attitude.

william Jennings Bryan, former pre-
mier OF President wilson's Cabinet, who
was at the Lafayette Hotel last night,
stopping off here on his way to Florida,
suggested the following alternatives to
a representative of The Washington Her
aid from which the United States might
choose in determining the present crisis
I'VE can postpone until the war Is over
the settlement of any dispute which can
not now be settled by peaceful means.
I'VE can keep American citizens off
belligerent ships.
I'VE can refuse clearance to ships of
the United States and other neutral coun-
tries carrying contraband and passengers
on the same ship.
I'VE can withdraw protection from
American citizens who are willing to
jeopardize the nations peace by travel
ing as seamen with contraband on Ameri-
can or neutral vessels
I'VE can keep all American vessels out
OF the danger zone for the present, just
as the mayor of city keeps citizens in
their homes when a mob is in possession
of the street.
Congress, which has exclusive power
to declare war. can submit the declara-
ton to a referendum vote. making ex-
ception in case of actual invasion"

TAKES Quick ACTION
TO MEET SITUATION
Congress Stirred to Activity Following
Presidents Announcement of Break.

Congress, stirred to earnest activity by
President Wilson's announcement Of Q
diplomatic break with Germany, yester-
day took steps to meet at once the critical
domestic situation. Immediately after
the Presidents address the following
steps were taken:
Senator Simmons, chairman Of the SEN
ate Finance Committee. conferred with
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. They
determined that the finances of the gov
ernment were in shape to meet any emer-
gency and discussed plans for additional
financial legislation as it becomes neces-
sary.
Frame Seventeen Bflls.
Sweeping legislation to enable the execu-
tive branch OF the government to deal
with domestic disturbances growing out
of the crisis and to maintain absolute
neutrality while relations are severed was
recommended by a Senate judiciary sub
committee. Seventeen bills embracing
this legislation were framed some time
ago by the Department of Justice. An
effort will be made to secure action on
them in the Senate tomorrow.
House leaders determined to amend the
pending 1851. 10000 naval appropriation bill
to give the President full and complete
authority TO take over private ship-build-
building OF government naval ships and
the manufacture OF naval supplies. An
effort will be made to incorporate this
amendment and put the naval bill
through on Tuesday.
VIII Have Every Resource.
1t was apparent that Congress is pre-
pared to place every resource of the na-
ton behind the President IL II becomes
necessary and that full financial and au-
thorizing legislation will be forthcoming.
Congress leaders said last night that any
means the President might ask for would
be provided without delay.
Senator Thomas, of Colorado, Q Demo
cratic member OF the Finance Commit
tee, submitted an amendment to the reve-
nue. bill providing for a bond issue of
half q billion dollars ''to put the country
In state OF naval and military pre-
paredness."
Gives President Plenary Powers.
The neutrality code" framed by the
administration and recommended by the
Senate judiciary Subcommittee yesterday
would give the President plenary powers.
II would authorize him to use the naval
or land forces to "detain vessels IN or
der to enforce compliance with or to
prevent violations of the obligations of
the United States under the law of ma
tions." 1t would prescribe severe penal
ties for conspira cies to interfere with mu-
nitions manufacture or export 1t would
authorize the President to withhold
clearance from vessels violating interna-
tional law. And 1t would regulate tho
internment Of war-bound aliens, and the
issue Of passports.

BREAK NEARLY ALWAYS
IS FOLLOWED BY war
Expert on International Law Finds Only
One Exception in All History.

The imntnence Of war and the gravity
OF the situation that has brought about a
cessation Of diplomatic relations with
Germany is well expressed by an expert
on international law in an informal opin-
ion given Representative John J. Rogers.
Of the Foreign Affairs Committee OF the
House, and issued last night.
At the request of the Representative,
made some time ago, this counselor made
study Of world history with view to
finding precedents where the recall of
diplomats had not been followed by more
serious results, and only in one instance,
that Of Serbia in 1903, has such action not
been followed by actual declarations OF
war.
The opinion says: Referring to our
conversation on Wednesday last, would
say that the only modern instance In
which.I can hnd a cessation OF diplomatic
Intercourse occurring without resulting
in war was in 1903 in Serbia After the
assassination OF King Alexander in that
year and the installation Of his murderers
in once, the great powers Of Europe
withdrew their ministers In order to mark
their sense OF the gravity of the crime.
Great Britain did not resume diplo-
matte relations until 1906 three years
afterward. BY that time 1t was supposed
II not OF influence, with Serbia No hos
tihttes took place during the interval.
, During the war between Spain and
the South American States. and, think
between France and Mexico, diplomatic
relations were not resumed for q LONG
period after the war had stopped, but
In both cases the war rather faded away
instead Of being brought to a conclu-
sion"
1t was stated further that the sever
ancs Of the diplomatic relations by the
United States with Mexico several years
ago was In effect followed by what could
be called a state OF war, since American
troops crossed the Rio Grande and in
vaded the territory Of villa
In the Venuezela trouble Great Britain
withdrew her representatives although no
war followed.
Representative Rogers commented upon
this to say that he believed Presid emit
Wilson had handled the German crisis
with rare wisdom. He said neither too
little nor too much He was masterful
in his treatment OF a great crisis and
undoubtedly the entire country will be
solidly behind him."
