Taporrlly Wlta Statement
" to Oerman-Ajnerloaii.
Wahinton, June ' 11. U. P.
Former Secretary ef 8tate Bryan to
day declared be would "rest bis case
with a statement to be addressed to
German-Americans until a special oc
casion arises.
This la understood to mean tbat
Bryan will wait until Germany replies
to President Wilson's rejoinder before
taking- further steps in bis peace cam
paign and explaining- tbe reasons for
ius resignation to tbe people. If Ger
nany should reject the demands made
ty this government, the former secre
tary jwill, then endeavor to nave. arbi
tration substituted for the. drastic
steps "President .Wilson may' consider
necessary.
- In a statement last night Bryan
atked that . judgment be suspended
uioa his action of withdrawing from
the cabinet at such a time until bis
full case could be stated. , He declared
lie was advocating a "new system" of
diplomatic standards that tbe, world
might be led into an area of univer
sal peace. .
The i former secretary prepared for
publication the following statement,
Which he called "The Real Issued
-. Says MotlTes Honorable. '
"To the American People: Tou now
have before you the text of the note
to Germany the note which It would
have been my official duty to sign
fead I remained secretary of state. I
ask you to sit in Judgment upon my
responsibility for it. I am sure you
will credit me with honorable motives,
but that is not enough. Good inten
tions could not atone for a mistake
at sucil a time, on such a subject and
under -such circumstances. If your ver
dict Is against roe, I ask -no- mercy; I
-desire none if I have acted unwisely.
"A man In public life must act ac
cording to his conscience, but, how
ever conscientiously Jie" acts, he must
be prepared to accept without com-
1 ilaint any condemnation which his
own errors may bring upon him; he
must be willing to bear any deserved
punishment from ostracism to execu
tion. 'But hear me before you pass
. sentence, .
- t . Prays for Peace,
"The president and I agree in pur
pose: we desire a peaceful Solution of
the. dispute which has arisen between
' the United States and Germany. "We
not only desire U, but with equal fer
vor, we pray for it, but we differ ir
reconcilably iu to the means of secur
ing it. If it were- merely, a personal
. difference it would be a matter of lit-
: tie moment, for all the presumptions
are on his side tbe presumptions that
.go with power ajid authority. He U
your president, I am a pri vate clti-
frn without of fice or title but one
of the hundred million of inhabitants.
But the real issue isnot between
, persons; it Is between systems and I

rely for vindication -wholly tipon . the
strength of the position taken. ,
, Among- the influences which ' gov
ernments employ it dealing with each
other there are two which ar pre
eminent and antagonistic force and
persuasion. Force 'speaks' with firm
ness and acts through the ultimatum;
persuasion employs argument, ' courts
investigation and . depends upon nego
tiation. : , . ,
Says Pores SCast Pass.-
Force represents the old system
the system that must pas away; the
persuation represents the new system
the system - that has been growing,
all too- slowly, it is true, but growing
for 1900 years. In the. old system
war "la the chief cornirstone war
which at its best is little better , than
war at its worst; the new system con
templates an universal, brotherbcod es
tablished through the uplifting power
of example. :, - ' '
If I, correctly Interpret the note to
Germany, It conforms to tbe standards
of tbe old system rather than to the
rules of the new, and I cheerfully ad
mit that it is abundantly supported by
precedents precedents - written - in
characters of blood upon almost every
page of human history. .Austria fur
nishes the most precedent; It was Aus
tria's firmness that dictated the ulti
matum against Serbia, which set "the
world at -war.-"? ,--.: .
.r.--i,-Uss4 Old System,'
Every v ruler? now participating In
this unparalleled conflict has pro
claimed his desire for peace and 'de
nied responsibility for the war, and it
is only charitable that we shoul-t credit
all of them with good faith. They de
sired peaee, but they souttht it accord
ing to the rules of the old system.
They believed that firmness would
give the best assurance of the main
tenance of peace and, faithfully fol
lowing precedent, they went so near
the fire that they were, one after an
other, sucked into the contest. Never
before have the frightful follies of
this fatal system been so clearly re
vealed as now.
"The most civilized and enlightened
aye, the most Christian, of the ' na-,
tions of .Europe, are grappling with
each other as if in a death struggle.
They are sacrificing the best and brav
est of their sons on the battlefield;
they are converting their gardens into
cemeteries and their homes into houses
of mourning; they are taxing the
wealth of today and laying a burden
of debt on the- toil of. the future; they
have filled the air with, thunderbolts
more deadly than those of Jove and
they have multiplied the perils of the
deep. Adding fresh fuel to the flame
of hate, they have daily devised new
horrors, until one side is endeavoring
to drown non-combatant - men and
women and children at sea; while the
other side seeks to starve ! non-combatant
men, women and children on
land.
' Jingoes Catch Babies.
"And they are so absorbed in alter
nate retaliations and in competitive
cruelties that they seem, for the time
being, blind to the right of neutrals
and deaf to the appeals of humanity.
A tree is known by its fruit. The war
in Europe is the ripened fruit of the
old system.
"This is what firmness," supported
by force, has done in the old world.
Shall we Invite it to cross the Atlan
tic? Already the jingoes of our own
country have caught the rabies from
the dogs of war; shall the opponents
of organized slaughter be silent while
the disease spreads?
"As an humble follower of the prince
of peace; as a devoted believer in the
prophecy, that they . that take the
sword shall perish by the sword,' I beg
to be counted among, those who ear
nestly urge the adoption of a course
in this matter which will leave no
doubt of our government's willingness
to continue negotiations with Germany
until an amicable understanding is
reached, or at least until the stress
of the war is over, we can appeal from
Philip drunk with carnage to Philip
sobered by the memories of an historic
friendship and by a recollection of the
innumerable ties of kinship that bind
the fatherland to the United States."

for the last time, president Wilson
made some changes In the wording of
the note. But the modifications were
not sufficient to cause Bryan to with

MR. R. A. OEARY,
V DeariSir Your inquiry regarding the concrete pave
ments here received, and in reply T will say that they are
giving splendid service and show practically no signs of
wear after having been subjected to a fairly heavy traffic
for -two years.- A
With concrete, " as with any other paving material, a
great deal depends upon the methods employed in laying
and the workmanship and materials used, but by the use
of a proper mixture, by making due provision for expan
sion and by a careful attention to details, a concrete pave
ment can be laid which will stand up under heavy traffic
with a minimum of maintenance cost.
A comparison of our pavements here in regard to initial
costs, maintenance costs, and serviceability under all kincls
Df weather conditions, has proven to me conclusively that
for the money invested, a concrete pavement gives the best
returns. ' Very truly yours,
C W. ANDERSON, City Engineer.

While the president's new note holds
out no' alternative to Germany, ;.the
sharp phraseology of former communi
catibns is lacking. A spirit of friend
ship is evident and though Germany
is told that, she has been misin
formed7: as to ; the Lusltanla having

liner was carrying munitions and re
servists, the-note adds 'that if the Im

It la made plain,- however, that this
Question is not to be permitted to in
terfere with the leading principle at
issue. Germany is- told that, what
ever the contentions may be as to the
Lusltanla carrying contraband, or the
explosion of these munitions by the
submarine's torpedo, this , government
holds such contentions Irrelevant to
the "question of the legality of the
