The Note to Germany.
The spirit and fixed determination
hack of the note to Germany, and not
its words, must have caused Mr.
Bryan's resignation. The document
strikes and sustains the same high
note that was sounded in the previ
ous communications, which it renews
by reference, but the words used are
even less provocative of resentment
than the words of the note to Ger
many which Mr. Bryan signed.
The rights under international law
of Americans on American ships,
even blockade-runners carrying con
traband to the enemy, are in course
of full recognition by Germany, and
there is every reason to expect that
in the end?the sooner the better?
reparation for the past, in such cases
as those of the Gulflight and Cushing,
and assurances for the future will be
given by Germany. If Germany, rec
ognizing the inevitable end of this
controversy on this point, should,
not grudgingly and in driblets, but
promptly and fully recognize its ob
ligation in this respect and base ap
propriate assurances thereon, its po
sition would be strengthened in the
controversy over the future rights of
Americans on belligerent ships like
the Lusitania and Falaba.
Lnder international law as it ex
isted when the Lusitania was torpe
doed the lives of American passen
gers were safeguarded provided the
Lusitania was an unarmed, unde
fended merchantman. The German
reply alleges in substance that the
Lusitania was an armed auxiliary j
warship, carrying munitions of war. I
If the Lusitania was in fact armed I
Germany's homicidal action is tech
nically defensible. If the Lusitania
was not armed it is immaterial under
existing international law, so far as
the safety of American passengers is
concerned, that she carried as part of
her freight munitions of war.
Today's note makes it clear to Ger
many that the Lusitania was not |
armed, that the charge to this effect '
is an accusation of breach of neutral- !
ity against the United States, and i
that this government renews its sol
emn guarantee of the Lusitania's un
armedness which it gave when after
thorough official inspection it per
mitted the Lusitania to sail.
On the strength of this demonstra
tion and accepting in good faith the
American assurances Germany should
promptly acknowledge the mistake
under which the Lusitania was tor
pedoed, disclaim intent to destroy
without warning American lives on
an unarmed, undefended merchant
man and express regrets for these
homicides in words that ring true
and sincere.
When this manly reparation had
been made Germany might well open
up for three-cornered negotiation the
question of alleged necessary future
modifications of international law
compelled by the development of the
submarine in naval warfare, and es
pecially in relation to submarine at
tacks upon ships of the enemy, armed
or transporting troops or munitions
ot war, which Germany is naturally
Hnwilling to abandon. In such nego
tiations the question whether any
belligerent ship, if instructed to ram
or otherwise resist, is not armed I
against a \ulnerable submarine may
be considered, and tile proposition of
.1 separation of passenger belligerent
h'P" ar"1 belligerent <hips carrying
munitions of war. the first being im
mune from torpedoing, would prop
erly he discussed. If such negotia
l,,|n' should lead to the abandonment
ot the whole barbarous competition
?n savage reprisals to which the
S'rtiggl, '.etween Germany and Great
Brit*,,, !1Jt degenerated a serwee
w ould be rendered to civilization, lo
i- ' principles ,,f humanity and lothe
world.
ynr-nia doc- not wish to war. but
unflinchingly t.. protect the lives and
property rights of its people against
new savageries of war. in the interest
of humanity to reduce to a minimum
those savageries even as between the
belligerents, and finally, as soon as it
is consistent with God's purpose, to
h'lp in ending thr horrors of the
struggle under which the whole
world groan* in anguish
This spirit is breathed in every line
and in every firm, calm word of the
American note to Germany. The
voice speaking through it is t|lat 0f
America, not of any individual or
any faction or any party.
The dove of peace has every hope
of not being compelled to share the
somewhat forlorn situation of the
lame duck.
The "Armed Lusitania" Affidavits.
Important disclosures may follow
? T#c arrest of (*usta\ Slahl, charged
v illi perjury in the making of an affi
davit to the effect that he saw guns
on tliQ? Lusitania just before she
sailed Vni her last voyage. At the
... tjoc yU>ct 4U?4?vju,9?
same general nature were filed at the
State Department, through the Ger
man embassy, amazement was ex
pressed that such palpably flimsy
testimony was offered in support of
the charge that the Lusitania was
armed. Immediately a search was
made for Stahl. who was later
caught, virtually in flight from New
York city. The circumstances sug
gest a plan to bring forward evi
dence in refutation of the American
government's assertion that the ship
was unarmed, at a critical juncture in
the diplomatic exchanges on the sub
ject of her destruction. If it can be
learned from Stall! who inspired or
procured his affidavit light will be
thrown on the question of responsi
bility for the futile effort to embar
rass the United States in its negotia
tions with Germany to obtain re
dress for the sinking of the Lusita
nia, with the destruction of more
than ioo American lives. The De
partment of Justice will doubtless
pursue this inquiry vigorously, to
bring to punishment those who con
cocted the scheme.
Gossip About Mr. Bryan.
For almost twenty years a shining
mark lor political gossip, Mr. Bryan
today is a more brilliant target than
ever. What is his game? What is
he "up to"?
The suggestion as to the Senate
seems trivial. Why should he seek
a seat in that body? He would
be cramped there. As The Star, I
in discussing the matter several
weeks ago expressed it, the analogue I
of Mr. Bryan in the Senate would
be the tying down of a famous evan
gelist to the duties of a local pastor.
He would neither suit nor like the
assignment. An eagle in a cage
would not beat his wings more im
patiently against the bars. The Sen
ate is a great body, and affords a
fine field for usefulness, but not to
men of Mr. Bryan's or Mr. Roose
velt's talents and temperament. They
require more elbow room.
The suggestion as to the presi
dency is more readable. And yet
that is open to much question. As
suming a presidential candidacy next
year for Mr. Bryan assumes a pur
pose' on his part to destroy, or at
least temporarily cripple, the demo
cratic party. It does not appear pos
sible for him or anybody else to
wrest the democratic leadership from
Mr. Wilson. Can it be reasonably in
ferred from anything he has said or
done in this war matter that his real
object is to head an independent
movement for peace on compulsory
arbitration lines, with prohibition
and woman suffrage on the side?
Lntil he himself announces other
wise, he must be considered a demo
crat, working within the party for
what he considers the party's good
for use next year.
And another point. Has Mr.
Bryan's experience during the past
two years left the glamour of the
White House undimmed in his eyes?
He has been very close to that habi
tation, and seen what the life of an
occupant is. Is the lure as strong now
as in 1896. or 1900. or 1908? Can it
be.' Is there another place where
the selfishness of politics and the
insubstantiality of its rewards are
more discouragingly displayed?
The great wonder in Mr. Blaine's
case was that a man who had spent
thirty years in Washington, the
larger part of the time in office bring
ing him into close relations to men
occupying the presidency, should still
have been approachable so late in
life, with the grave almost opening
at his feet, as to burdens so heavy
and pleasures so few.
Mr. Bryan is an agitator, not a ne
gotiator or an executive. With his
heart enlisted in a cause his brain
responds; and as a pleader with
tongue or pen he has gifts in the
exercise of which he finds large per
sonal satisfaction and his friends
much pleasure.
One of the German newspapers at
tributed Bryan's resignation to the
President's refusal to inject sufficient
anti-German bitterness into the re
cent note. This German editor, read
ing tlie note today, will be confirmed
in belief in the soundness of his
theory.
Each of the factional leaders in
Mexico regards intervention by the
United States as something whose
only hope of success lies in co-opera
tion with him.
In the presence of so much distin
guished utterance the June com
mencement essay has not had a fair
cliance.
It i> difficult just now to produce
any kind of a diplomatic note which
may not spoil the harmony.
l ever and cholera are adding their
powerful arguments for a speedy
termination of the war.
Congress and Clerks' Betirement.
The discussion of the departmental
pension system that has been pro
gressing in the columns of The Star
recently, in connection with the vote I
of the clerks on the subject, has de
veloped the fact that the government
employes are well posted on the sub
ject. having studied it from every
possible angle. This suggests that
Congress should be as enterprising on
a matter of vital importance to the
government and undertake a study
of the retirement question in order
to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
The Star lias several times suggested
that the subject should be referred to
.1 joint commission of the two houses
for careful investigation and report
111 order that the government may
proceed on the basis of accurate in
formation to consider the best way
to relief the departmental conges
tion.
, it * **m*4br.m conttaaUud by
legislators that the United States
should continue indefinitely along
the pitesent lines of department or
ganization. Experience has proved
the injustice and the unbusinesslike
character of the indefinite retention
011 a downward sliding scale of pay
of clerical workers. No well managed
business is conducted on this prin
ciple. Commercial success would be
impossibles on such a basis, and yet
the government holds year after year
to the plan that is no plan of virtual
ly pensioning the elder workers by
keeping them in harness at reduced
pay and thus choking the lines of pro
motion for the younger employes, and
eventually dropping the veterans
without compensation when they
reach the age of uselessness.
Department chiefs have repeatedly
urged the consideration of this ques
tion by Congress, pointing out the
unmistakably bad effects of the ex
isting conditions, but owing to a
prejudice against any form of civil
pension the subject has been ignored
and conditions have grown worse.
The only relief the government can
obtain from this ? departmental con
gestion is through the occasional
ruthless dropping of veteran work
ers in a manner that would shame
any private employer.
The new Congress should take up
this matter promptly upon convening
a.nd refer it to a joint commission
for consideration with a view to some
definite action to put the government
on a businesslike basis.
1M ,
Nations of North and South Amer
ica are sufficiently enterprising to
insure a development of foreign com
merce, even should it have to be lim
ited for a time to their own hemi
sphere.
Suggestions that the chautauqua
may be turned into an arena of po
litical debate will scarcely be wel
comed by the average auditor who
desires relaxation in the summer.
? ??. .
When Huerta undertakes to define
the attitude of the people of Mex
ico toward the United States, it must
be remembered thfet he has not been
home for a long time.
The fact that a man resigns be
cause of his devotion to peace does
not necessarily prevent his resigna
tion from stirring up a considerable
rumpus.
The mention of Root and Knox as
possibilities for the secretaryship of
state constitutes a rare compliment
to leaders of a defeated party.
Nothing has been said by Mr.
Bryan so far to indicate that 1916
looks so good to him as to demand
his undivided attention.
The announcement of the retiring
Secretary of State served to case the
suspense while Germany awaited the
official note.
Resignations take place so seldom
in American political life that they
necessarily attract a great deal of at
tention.
Possibly Turkey rejoices that the
gunboat recently sunk was one of its
own and not one of Germany's.
Like the heroine in the melodrama,
Mr. Bryan balked at the demand,
"Sign those papers."
The nation is fortunate that can
limit its active hostilities to a local
war of words.

Blissful Ideal.
"I hope," said the applicant for
summer board, "that you have no
mosquitoes and that there will be
chicken and fresh vegetables always
on the table, and that the nights are
invariably cool?"
"Great Scott, mister 1" exclaimed
Farmer Corntossel, "what place are
you lookin' fur? Heaven?"
Gentle Firmness.
Speak gently. It is better far
To frame your talk that way.
But always choose the words that are
Just what you want to say.
A well defined grievance is more
respectable than a general grouch.
Kind Wishes.
"You missed the train," said Mrs.
Kermoot, reproachfully.
"Yes," replied her husband.
"Well, perhaps it's just as well to
cultivate the habit. I wish I could be
sure you were as likely to miss the
train when your motor car hits a
railway crossing as you are in ordi
nary travel."
Unrest.
"I found a place last summer
where I could rest in perfect quie
tude."
"Did you enjoy it?"
"No. I spent half my time on the
cars getting to a place where they
had moving pictures and a band."
The Halt.
"Wait a little," said the robin,
"For the song I have to sing."
"Wait a little," said (he rosebud,
"For a bit of blossoming."
"I know the world is busy.
But the sunshine and the smile
Shouldn't wholly be forgotten.
Let us wait a little while."
Wait a little on the beauty.
Wait a little on the song.
They will leave you better fitted
For the tasks that need the strong.
Life holds nothing for the laggard;.
But the road is many a mile,
And there'* hope and strength in
