w. J. BRYAN AGAINST TEST.
Has No Law Behind It, Says Demo
cratic Leader.

MIAMI, Fla, July 3o.-William Jen-
nings Bryan last night took issue
with President Coolidge's plan for
setting aside September II as Ma
tional Defense day. While declining
to comment on the position taken by
his brother, Gov. Charles w. Bryan of
Nebraska the ComInoner declared
that he did not see any reason" for
a defense day" 1T has never been
done. so far as l know" Mr. Bryan
said in a dictated statement, land
see no reason why new custom of
this kind should be inaugurated just
at the time when the world needs our
assistance in the abolition of war in
stead of an ostentatious exhibition of
our preparedness for war"
Mr.. Bryan said that he was "unin-
formed on his brothers position in
refusing to cooperate in the mobiliz-
ing of Industrial resources in con-
junction with the military forces, but
stated his own position as follows:
The Democratic platform pledges
the Democratic party to employ all
its energy to the outlawing of the
whole system of war. The Repubii-
declaration. and it is therefore nat
ural that the Republican administra-
tion and the Democratic leaders
should differ as to the proposed mo-
bilization.
Whatever Congress asks the
done, but l do not understand that
the proposed plan has back of it any
more than the expressed wish OF the
President, based upon the suggestion
OF Gen. Pershing.
THE proposed scheme does not pre-
pare the Nation for war: 1t simply
gives an exhibition of whatever pre-
paredness we have. Unless the effect
is to frighten other nations, it may
be accepted as a suggestion that they
show us their military toys. If the
practice is desirable to us, why not
for other nations? Should a uniform
day be adopted, or shall the days be
different so that the newspapers can
give us continuous reports of mill
tary maneuvers?
THE world has more important
work than to engage in rivalry in
showing on preparedness for war.

Darrow Talks to Boys.
AS the State continued to cite au-
thorities, Mr.. Darrow sat with Leo
pold and Loeb and the three were
IN deep conversation. 1t ended with
Loeb breaking into one of his ex-
pansive smiles and Darow turning
his attention to- the group OF arguing
attorneys before the bar.
The reading Of decisions from other
States. which Mr.. Marshall offered as
IN point, settled into a drone.
Jacob Franks, father OF the boy
came into court late.
Attitude Of Relatives.
Jacob Loeb, uncle OF the defendant,
appeared to follow the argument with
interest, but Allan Loeb, brother of
Dick, and LeopoId's father and brother
kept their eyes on the prisoners rathsr
than the group before the bench. Spec
tators, lost in the maze Of legal lore,
spent their time gossiping in low tones
and watching the newspaper photogra-
pliers take snapshots of the court scene.
A Encouragement Of seats which
brought the defense attorneys nearer the
witness stand, operated also to place
States Attorney Grove within few
inches Of Loeb's elbow. Mr.. Grove and
Mr. Darrow gossiped a bit in an under
tone. but Loeb and Leopold gave no in
dlcation OF the near presence Of their
prosecutor.
Dr. White sat patiently on the stand,
waiting for the court to decide finally
whether he could testify. ,
