The industrial situation in France is reported satisfactory. A campaign has been launched in Holland for the promotion of many new industries, the manufacture of which is necessitated by the wat. King Constantine's condition I re ported to be alarming. Many ave abandoned hope for his recovern Mexican advices state Qeneral Qbre gon defeated General Villa and his army at Leon and that the outlaw's forces are now in hasty retreat north Ward. Washington The greatest feeling of optimism now prevails over the outcome of the German situation since the drafting of the first note. Several statements regarding Pres ident Wilson's attitude toward the German situation have been issued by former Secretary Bryan. Many of the newspapers of the country have editorially stated their refusal to print Mr. Bryan's comments further, on the ground that they are unfit for publi cation in a time of national peril. It is reported the members of the cabi net Are considerably displeased with Mr. Bryan's actions since his retire ment from public office. Secretary Daniels has announced that Capt. Joseph W. Oman, now in command of the North Carolina will be transferred to the captaincy of the battleship Georgia.

Both clasped hands and uttered a fervent "God Bless You." The statement of former Secretary Bryan that his intention in private life was to sound public opinion regarding President Wilson's attitude regarding Americans sailing on belligerent yes Bela, has amazed official Washington. While no comment came from the White House, it was understood Pres ident Wilson was astonished at Mr. Bryan's announcement. Officially President Wilson has an nounced Coipnselor Lansing will be temporar-y Aecretary of state. He says he is in no hurry to announce Mr. Bryan's Dermanent successor, but it is more definitely known the pres ident i favors Mr. Lansing. Rumors that a coalition cabinet would be form ed, as in the present case in Eng land, have been in circulation and that either former Secretaries Knox or Root were being considered for the portfolio. The entire interest of official cir cles and the nation centers in the sudden resignation of Wil iam Jen nings Bryan as secretary of ht ate, who r-esigned because he did not agree with Pr-esident Wilson's attitude to wardl Germany regarding the Lusita nia incident. The resignation was deeply deplored by President Wilson. Domestic Vice President Marshall, arriving at his indianapolis home from the San Francisco exposition, publicly endors ed Pr-esident Wilson's attitude toward Germany and approved the note sent to the imperial government.
