The press supporting President Wilson in this international crisis Is flaying Mr. Bryan for deserting the ship of state In time of peril, seeing In his retirement an Inconsistency In that he had signed the first Lusitrnla note to Germany, but refused to sign another of like tenor. But the Greens boro News points out that Mr. Bryan signed the first note under some misapprehension, understanding that a supplementary document was to be pent. The Gazette-News has taken the position that Mr. Bryan's retirement was forced by circumstances over which he apparently had no control. The Greensboro News goes deeper than that; and finds in Mr. Bryan an "exemplification of a fairly well understood philosophy of life." The News also thinks the act of Mr. Bry an may portend great things In an international sense and that "as the head of an American peace party Mr. Bryan would become a factor In every development." .Says The News: The retirement of Mr. Bryan from his post had to be. The student of modern history will have a realizing sense of this. Speculation at this mo- Bryan understood that a successful Administration meant another terra for the President, without reference to his interpretion of the one term plank In the Baltimore platform. Mr. Wilson may now be able to go it alone the Baltimore convention be ins a thing of the past nowr-but Just aa likely aa not the retirement of Mr. Bryan may mean a loss. The late Secretary of State was a tower of strength at times when the outlook for the legislative program of the Ad ministration looked anything but promising. Right now there Is talk of a great peace movement among the labor interests, to be led by several members of congress who believe that the United States should avoid the European sea of blood, and who doubt whether Americans ought to be protected in the right to travel in belligerent ships, loaded with war supplies, In naval war xones. These men have already been in touch with Mr. Bryan, and there can be little doubt where Mr. Bryan will stand when his moral support Is sought by the advocates of peace. AVe are by no means satisfied, therefore, that the fates were at all kind to the peo ple of this country when Mr. Bryan finally concluded that ho would have to return to private life, with his conscience. Tt seems that some con cession might have bee made which would have kept him at his post If he had erred at all It would have been on the side of peace. No doubt Mr. Bryan found his posi tion personally distasteful. His posi tion had come to be purely clerical In character. Men of outstanding In tellect and force have held the pfe- mlershlp In the American cabinet, and heretofore it has been the custom to hold them largely, if not chiefly, responsible, for the successful admin istration of our foreign affairs. In practice, at least, Mr. Wilson has not proceeded upon the assumption that there Is wisdom In a multiplicity of counsel. At critical stages, we have been assured, Mr. Wilson invariably communes with himself, withdraws even from the society of his inti mates, personally concludes what our foreign policy Is to be, records that policy on his personal typewriter and then, with the draft of notes virtual ly In shape for the cables, carries the notes to the cabinet for ratification, and more especially for the signature of Mr. Bryan. We doubt whether state papers, Involving matters of great delicacy and nearer conse quence, were prepared in advance for the signature of men like Olney and Hay and P.oot. Mr. Bryan Is a man of convictions, which are ft part of his life. Many people have not liked those convictions, but we venture the opinion that in point of Intellectual equipment Mr. Bryan will compare favorably with any of v.he admittedly great men who have held the position of Secretary of State. Mr. Bryan was asked to sign state papers whose contents could not be harmonized with hi ideas of Inter national morality. This, of course, was uite enouKh to render impera tive his removal from Mr. Wilson's council chamber. But that was not all. Mr. Bryan was not Invited to perform the customary functions of his office, with its high and mani fold responsibilities, m nM . One can not imagine Mr, Bryan occupying that wholly nlmlcsH and automatous posi tion very long. Tt may be that r.n harm will bp- Bed Time Tales Clara Ingram Jndson. Tommy Tittle-Mouse Has a Visitor, r Tommy Tittle-Mouse and his little mate were so busy getting settled that they had no time to look around and get acquainted with their new home or to see their new neighbors. They cleared out the crack In the log that the garden toad had pointed out to them, till It was broad and deep. And they found to their delight, that a tiny little streak of a crack ran clear through the log. "I believe we had better gnaw that out Into a passage way for use when danger threatens from In front," said Tommy to his mate. - "That's well enough to plan for." she replied wisely, "but we must first finish this front part." She very well knew how hard it was to get Tommy to finish a Job he liked to begin bet ter than to finish. So Tommy, like the good little Tittle-mouse that he was, worked faith fully and together they finished the front of the new home. Never was there such a wide smooth floor! Never was there such a safe sheltered en trance! Tommy and Mrs, Tommy were so proud and happy they wanted to sit down and look at it all and talk about It all the time. But there was no time! Just as they were through and settled down to admire It nil, Mrs. Tommy happened to look up! Right there In the door way was a strange, queer-looking shell! "Now how In the world!" exclaimed Tommy Tittle-Mouse, "did that get there? Pidn't I Just finish clearing up our muss? And anyway, there was no such thing there to clear up! I'm sure of that! How did that get there? Mrs. Tommy didn't answer; she had run back deep into the new home for safety. "Tommy! Come here!" she called softly. "Tommy! Come here! You'll be killed! I saw that shell move and I'm sure It's some strange new enemy that we know nothing about!" An awful shiver of fear ran down Tommy's spine; As fast as he could scamper, he ran back into the cave to where Mrs. Tommy lay shaking and trembling. "Saw it move?" he whis pered to her when he got his breath, ."isn't It a shell? Shells don't move. I've seen them In the house many a time, and they don't move they're dead things." "Then this Isn't a shell," whispered back Mrs. Tommy fearfully," because I surely saw It move. Wait, now, and watch." "If only we had made that othar entrance!" cried Tommy under his breath, "theft we would have a way out" . "Well, we didn't," said Mrs. Tommy, "so let's stay right here and see what that thing is maybe it will go away without seeing us." a The little creature in the shell laughed softly. The two frightened little creatures crouched back into the farthest corner and waited. And while they watched, two hair-like prongs peeped out of the shell, two tiny bright eyes looked around, and a tiny soft voice said, "don't be afraid, it's only me and I won't hurt you." Tommy Tittle-Mouse could hardly believe his ears! He looked at Mrs. Tommy and she looked nt him and then together they said, "who's me?" The" little creature In the shell laughed softly and replied, "I'm a snail, and, if you don't object, I may often pass your doorway, as ym live so close to my home. But I'll never hurt you, I am your friend." So poor frightened Tommy and his little mate crawled out of the dark corner and got acquainted with their strange new guest.

There is the stance, of course, that two circum- i f the man who has for years done not explain the conduct of .Mr. lirjun, in its larger and more significant as pects. In Mr. Hryan one finds an exempli fication of a fairly well understood philosophy of life. At this moment there are English statesmen wePl and favorably known in America, who have since this world war began dedicated themselves to this same Ideal broadly speaking, the ideal i f universal peace. There are English statesmen who ore today demanding the democratization of the forelun policies of their government, who demand that there shall be no more secret alliances which lead inevit ably to war, and to the shedding of the blood of people who have no voloe in thse conspiracies against neighboring nations. Mr. Bryan was not alone In the belief that the course being pursued by the President would lead to war. Those most aotlve in the support of the Administration freoly admit that the policy may so eventuate, Mr. Lry an signed the first note to Uurmtuiy with reluctance, and under some misapprehension; he had been led to believe that the President would send a supplementary note to Berlin which would lessen the chances of a misunderstanding. To hjtve signed thfi second note would have meant self-atultiflcalion to Mr. Bryan. He found the government, of which he waa an Important part, leading In one direction, and his convictions and his conscience leading In the opposite direction. Mr. Bryan haa views aa to how the Uvea of Individuals, and of nations, should be ordered. He had been instrumental In negotiating 30 peace treaties with that number of foreign governments; and even Ger many had accepted the treaty in prin ciple. The principle upon which all those treaties rest provides for con sideration of all disputes by an inves tigating com mis on, and for ample time for consideration before there hall be any resort to force. The United States Initiated those treaties. Mr. Bryan 'of course harbors the hop that the United States will not take the Intatlve In rendering the treaties, or the principle upon which they have been bottomed, nugatory. That Is why we think students of mAtm hUtrtrv will ,.n ,1 1 1 v .,! m stand how utterly Impossible It would have been for Mr. Bryan to remain In the cabinet. Mr. Bryan did a great deal for Mr. Wilson In the solvate line at Balti more.
