The events of the past two month* have clearly Indicated that It in ihjssI' ble and practicable to conduct such MUbmarliie o|>crattons as have charac terized the activity of* the Imperial Ueruan Navy within the so-called war zone in substantial accord with the ac cepted practices of regulated warfare. The wl)o|e world has looked with In terest and increasing satisfaction at the demonstration of that i>ossiblllty by German naval commamlers. It Is man ifestly poss I ble, therefore, to lift the whole practice' of submarine attack above the criticism which It has arous tul and iciuoye the chief cause of of fcnsc. In view of the admission *?f illegal lty made by the Imperial < Jovernment when li pleaded the right of retalia tion i" defense of Its acts, and in view of the manifest possibility of conform ing to the established rules of naval warfare, the Government of the United States cannot believe that the imperial German Government will longer re frain from disavowing the wanton act of its naval commander In sinking the iMisltaula or from offering reparation for the American lives lost, ho far an reparation can be made for a needless destruction of human Jlfe by an Ille gal act. The Government of the United states while not Indifferent to the friendly spirit In which It la made, cannot accept the suggestion of the Imperial German Government that cer tain vessela be designated and agreed upon which aliall bo free on the seas now Illegally prescrll>od. "? The very agreement would, by Implication, sub ject other vessela to illegal uttack and would be a curtailment and, therefore, an abandonment of the principles for whl?h this Government contends., and ?hlcli in timea of calmer counsels ev ery Nation would concede aa of course. The Government ; of the United States and the Imperial German Gov nment are contending for the same great object, have long stood togeth er tn urging the very principles upt.u which the Government of the United States now aolmenly insists. They are lH?th intending for the freedom of lie seas. The Government of the Uni ted si at cs will continue to contend for that freedom from whatever quar ter violated, without compromise and at any cost. It ihvitea the practical co-operation of the imperial German Government at this time when co-op- 1 eration may accomplish moat and this great object, he most strikingly and effectively achieved. The Imperial German Government expresses the hope that . thla object may be in Home measure accomplished even before the present war. ends. It can be. The Govertametilof ftietJnited States feels obliged to insist upon it, by whomsover violated or ignored, in the protection nof its own citteans, but it lg also deeply interested in seeing it made practicable between the bellig erents themselves, and holds itself rea dy at any time to act as the common friend who may be privileged to sug gest a way. In the meantime the very value which this Government sets upon the long and unbroken friendship between the people and Government of the United States and the people and Gov ernment of the German Nation impels it to press very solemnly upon the Im l>erlal German Government the neces sity for "a scrupulous observance of neutral rights in this critical matterr Friendship itself prompts it to say to the Imperial Government that repeti tion by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in contravention of those rights must be regarded by the Government of the United States when they^-affeet- American citizens, as deliberately unfriendly.

He Hold this country had to put an end to the war Hltuation. f told him that thin country had to do no such tiling, that I had been In England six months during the early stages of the war and that I knew the situation there. "You can take It from me, I told lilm, that, those Allies will never In the world let uj? until the last man of them Is dead or until the war party In Europe is disarmed or brought to ! Its knee*. "We had words. He flew Into a rage and said I belonged to the blood thirsty war party and that I had turn ed my back on the Bible* and Chris tianity. I told htm I had been too long in the business to be talked to by him in that manner. Dr. Broughton said he would not say that other clergymen in this coun-, try were turning against Bryan, as he could only stfeak of his own ease and his own conversation with him?a con versation which took place shortly be fore Mr. Bryan resigned as secretary of state. It was whispered by other churchmen yesterday, however, u that Bryan no longer possesses the friend ship of many preachers with whom he used to be intimate. Dr. J.

"I was in the very heart of the Eng lish strife and shoek for six month? and I know some inside facts," said Dr. Broughton. "Some of the leaders in "the British Government were mem bers of my church. From them I learn ed something of the strain of those months, in some respects worse than the strafti of today, when the worst is beginning to be realized.

"This war will not end until democ racy la taken care of. If i$ were to do ko in England and France - the United States would have to come to the rescue of democracy. "I look to see , great questions set tled by this war. They include an end to the Prussian Imperialism and to all unchristian culture, such as the Ger mans have put forth.
