William Jennings Bryan must be Eiven credit for the judgment which she has used in resigning from thé ‘cabinet. The situation had been pcched ‘where he was not in accord Jwith the president and the remainder fof his offiial family and it was the logical course for him to pursue when fhe decided that it was time for him to remove whatever obstruction he iwas causing. Had the action been taken some ‘time ago it would have caused less Jurprise, since it has been realized ‘that his conduct of the office of sec- Tetary of state has been the cause of fnuch unfavorable criticism of the ad- sninistration. Imbued with the idea of peace at any cost, as is_indicated ®y his desire to suggest to Germany, As an accompanying statement with the first note, that the situation might be adjusted by a commission of in- vestigation instead of holding Ger- many to a “strict accountability,” Mr. Bryan was for trying the watchful waiting policy again. It was a sit- uation where his convictions were in conflict with the demands of the coun- try, and his resignation is therefore timely. By his action Mr. Bryan makes it plain ghat he was the only member of the cabinet who did not stand back of the attitude which Wil be mani- fested in the reply which is about to be sent to Germany. He was favor- able to a prolongation, through invess tigation delays, of the injustice which this country insists must be stopped. ‘His policy lacked firmness at a time when the president and cabinet un- derstood that there could be no back- ing down, and his resignation, fol- lowed by its acceptance, can leave no doubt here or abroad just where the administration stands. There will be no rioting because of his withdrawal. A STEP FORWARD. Some time ago President Eiliott of the New Haven road asked for leg- islation from the states in which the system does business which would aid the road in regaining its feet. This ‘was based upon the fact that the road and the territory through which it operates are of vital importance to each other and as a result it was for the interests of the several common- wealths as well as the railroad cor- poration that it should be placed upon a firm foundation as quickly as pos- sible. While all may not have been secured that was desired from the three south- ern New England states the wisdom of the request made its appeal and the appreciation of thd head of the road is indicated when he calls the legis- lation which has resulted a long step forward through placing the road in a position to reestablish its credit. Ever since coming to his position as the head of the New Haven road, Mr. Elliott has faced an uphill task. He has nevertheless faced it with deter- May 29, - Ry tions they have dissipated all claims which American citizens could expect. There are rights which every cit- izen of this country has and they in- clude the freedom of thought and speech, but when they display such an attitude abroad on an occasion like the present it is time that they cast aside all protection which they are recelving or are likely to receive from the country of which they are ashamed, but failing to do 5o, nothing remains except such @ course as has been fol- lowed. 5 They are no credit to any nation. Their citizenship and their allegiance to the United States have been ig- nored. They are a poor example of loyal subjects of any government. Their obligations have been utterly disregarded, especially so when car- rying American passports they go tg another country and hold up to siéfn and derislon the acts of thelr L6vern- ment for the effect it will %ave while matters of serious cons; are involved. They desgive more than they have recelived,- ’ CAN THEY MAZET THE DEMANDS? President A¥ilson’s note to the Mex- W ‘Was for the purpose of bringizg them to a realization of the conZdtion into which they have plunged thair sountry, with a view to ‘dringing fraer out of chaos. Thus far the manmer in which it has been received by ‘at least two of them leaves no ground for dissatistaction. Villa and ‘Carransza have both given evidence of having appreciated the spirit in which it was written and having rec- oEnized the wisdom of the suggestions that were made. There Is, perhaps, less surprise for the part which Vil la has taken in this respect than there is for what Carranza has done, but fn both instances it is to be real- ized that there is evidence of the value Which is attached to having the ap- proval and backing of this country. Villa has been disposed to seek and follow this more attentively than Car- ranza, whose stubbornness in this re- spect has been manifested on many occasions, The proposal which has now been made that there be a conference be- tween the leaders for thé purpose of getting together lends some encour- agement to the hope that this may be accomplished. Villa has always main- tained that selfishness did not gulde him_and that he had no ambition to rule.” Not so, however, with Carranza and even now each maintains that his cause is about to succeed. If the conference for an adjustment of the difficulties succeeds it must be dominated by patriotism and self sac- rifice. It must be the good of the country which must get full consider- ation, and in view of the futility of the factional conflicts it is time that it prevailed. The leaders of the revolu- tio in Mexico have a service to per- form if they can only rise to the oc- casion. NEW BAGGAGE LAW. Another bit of evidence showing the result of ill considered legislation is the new baggage Insurance require- ment which has just gone Into effect. Under the bill which was advocated in congress and which later became law it was not intended that it should ap- Ply to baggage, but the legislation which followed was such that under it it was impossible for the interstate commerce commission to decide other- wise. It was another instance where the bill was put through without giv- ing the proper amount of thought to Wwhat would be included thereunder, a fact which characterizes too much of the present day lawmaking, The new baggage regulation places an added burden upon every person who travels from one state to another with baggage. It was nothing that was called for under the conditions Which previously existed. It requires new and unnecessary trouble at the baggage rooms and it places additfonal responsibilities upon the passenger and from the manner in which it con- cerns the traveling salesmen who car- ry_with them valuable lots of sam- Dles there is excellent ground for the protests which are being made. The average traveler will experience no great difficulties, but until the new wrinkle is thoroughly understood and it is realized that there are formal statements which must be made con- cerning the value in checking bag- sage it is bound to cause incon- venience, confusion and uncompli- mentary expressions. It is to be re- membered, however, that it is the price, of careless legislation, EDITORIAL NOTES, The pronunciation of Przemysl as impregnable has now become obsolete.

The Bavarian Soldiers. For generations the Bavarian sol- dier has sustained the reputation of being one of the best fighting units in the world. He has always been, in the eyes of his opponents, a very ter- rible man to be pitted against. His name has been synonymous, with mil- itary efficiency, and, especially during the present war, his enemies have whispered more than that about him. Many do not know or will not be- lieve that the Bavarian has any other side than a flerce desire to fight and to win, at any price. He is at the same. time singularly devout and re- ligious and in this lies one explanation for the present relative content of the civil population of that part of con- quered France which lies to the north- ward. German system, in taking scrupulous care of the people, has played a large part, but the religious nature of the Bavarian soldier has had a share in the result. An Associated Press correspondent who toured Northern France recently listened with some little degree of in- credulousness as German officials in- sisted that the population of the oc- cupied country and of the cities were quiet and submissive, fairly happy, and bore few traces of bitterness to- ‘ward the invaders. The people, to be sure, showed no outward signs of resentment. Nor would those with whom the corre- spondent talked admit of harboring ill feelings against the Germans. Nevertheless it seemed impossible that they could be reconciled to_their position—stronger probably in North- ern France than anywhere else where fighting is gping on. Through . the wonderful stained glass windows of the cathedral of St. Quentin there streamed the afternoon sun of an early May Sunday—illumi- nating the strangest congregation that probably ever gathered in beautiful old Notre Dame. In the nave there knelt fully a thousand women from all classes of the population. ‘Three quarters at least wore mourning— mute evidence that they had lost sons and husbands, brothers and lovers. The strains of a wonderful organ car- ried far into the streets about the cathedral, attracting more and more from outside. At first glance one saw only the ‘women in their deep mourning. Then, however, there came into view the drab gray uniforms of scores of Bavarian soldiers, kneeling, not on the little chairs but on the stone floor. Some held little prayer books and Were mumbling_prayers in German, even while the French priest chanted in his own language. As the music continued more and more soldiers en- tered the church, and, finding no room among the audience, knelt in the rear until_the building was packed clear to the doors. Suddenly the mass came to an end. ‘mination and in a manner which has not only aceomplished results, but which has won the confidence of the states in which the road is located.

Hardly had the women left the church than a German priest entered and began a mass in German especial- ly for the soldiers, who gradually filled up the body of this church just va- cated. The organ pealed again and this time the men, and not the ¢hoir, took up the refrain, and sang until the whole building reverberated with the melody. Half an hour later the soldlers were seen on the streets of St. Quen- tin, chatting, laughing, greeting hero and there some Frenchman whom they had come -to know during the months of occupation.

Before the av- alanche of barbarian invasion—Avar hordes, according to most authorities —refugees from neighboring _Latin communities fled to the mnoble's stronghold and took refuge under the shadow of its walls.

Between Jaroslaw, south, to Przemysl, where the heaviest fighting of the past weeks has been taking place, the country is rough, _often skarply broken at the river, and of- fering many opportunities for military defense. Beyond Przemysl, toward the river's source, the San zigzags from a point about 30 miles to the west, whence it comes from the eouth and southeast. During the spring fresh- ets and, again, during rainy autumn seasons, the lower valley of the San often suffers from severe floods.
