BRYAN IS
READY TO
DO: PART

IECo1
WASHINGTON, April
liam Jennings Bryan today per-
sonally told President Wilson he
lis for anything the government
wants in pushing the war to a
quick and successful end"
During conference with the
president at the White House,
lasting over half an hour, Bryan
told the chief executive he was
willing to serve on the firing line
or anywhere else the president
wants him to serve.
He said he had but one specific
thing to urge-war-time prohibi-
ton.
If the government thinks there
ought to be universal military
service or conscription, or any
other way of raising an army,
Bryan will get right behind what
ever plan the government sug-
gests.
Bryan will begin at once as a
recruiting officer" among the
civilian population of the country
called upon to offer their services
in furnishing supplies of every
kind.
He will set out tonight speak
ing before meetings In various
parts of the country outlining the
part the citizen can play In sup
port of the government.
