Stanislau Is seventy- five miles southeast of Lemberg, the Galiclan capital LLONDON, June 9 -—From Capor- etta to the head of the gulf of Triest the forees of Italy are consolidating their positions along the river Isonzo and in a week, or perhaps sooner, the first serious battle along this front should be fought. The clashes up to the present time have been of a preliminary charac- ter, but now that the Itallans no longer command the river crossings from the western bank, but at sev- eral points have thrown troops to the eastern bank of the Isonzo, & conflict of first rate tactical impor- tance, in the opinifon of British ob Desperate Fighting In East. In the eastern arena the Russians are fighting desperately to stem the Austro- German advance in the direction of Lem- berg.

He planned to turn over the Affairs of his office to Mr. Lansing at 1om Talks to Newspaper Men. When Mr. Bryan came out of Assiatant Becretary Roowevelt's office, he was wur- rounded by newspaper men “Well, gentlemen,”” he said, am not late today been late, particularly so yesterday. Did YOu ever ste an ol hen trying to gather ohjckens beneath her In the evening?" “Yom, I've got an old hen,” sald one. “Doesn’t she sometimes seem fusey and irritable’” asked the secretary “Yew, sometimen she pioks me,” was the rejoindes, “Well, I have often felt like the old hen in some respects. I have been trying to keep & number of International secrets covered up under my wing, so to speak If, sometimes, T have seemed to be cross and irritable, it is becanse I have bee1r afraid that some of the secrets would cresp out.

Mr. Bryan was up early today to begin closing up his affairs at the State de- partment.

The news of the resignation of Secre- tary of State Bryan was received too late for editorial comment in the morning papers of London, but the first editions of the afternoon journals present the news most prominently.

PARIS, June 9.-L'Information this afternoon publishes & dispatch from Mome saying that Emperor Francis Jeseph has decided to reileve General Conrad Von Hoetzendorf of the supreme command of the Austro-Hungarian forces on the Itallan front because of the recent Italian offensive movements on this Mne.

It will be about 1,00 words long. “I will make it public as soon as T learn that 1 am no longer wecretary of Ll aid he. “That will be when the note is dispatched.” Mr. Bryan's letter of resignation had asked that his resignation be effective when the note was sent uniess President Wilson wished to accept it sponer. When Mr. Bryan started for his office Mrs, Bryan walked down the drive with him to his carriage, and at the approach coachman, who for many years has driven the carriages which are assigned to the secretary, got down from his box and, bat in hand, told them both how much he regretted to see Mr. Bryan go and how much he had appreciated the secretary’s kindnesses. AS the secretary drove to his office. probably for the last time, ‘he passed throngs of government clerks on their way to office, reading in the morning papers news of his reslgnation, Ho was surrounded by scores who wanted to say iword of goodbye as he entered his office, i Lavsing Arrives Early. Counsclor Lansing, who, upon Mr Bryan's resignation, becomes acting seo- retary of state, wae at his desk early and shortly before 10 o'clock went to the White House and saw the president. Bo far as Btate department records show Mr, Bryan is the first secretary to resign aa the direct reault of a clear issue with the president on forelgn policy. Bome of his predecessors have had differences With thelr chiefs, but usually those have arisen from divergent views on details of negotiations, but never have they devel- oped to a point Involving the surrender of the resignation in 188 of James A. Gary of Maryland, postmaster general in Presi- dont McKinley's cabinet. His resignation Was based upon repugnance to the ap- Proaching war with Spain. In Mr. Bryan's dramatic resignation, observers in some quarters professed to 8e0 a development in this country of the European idea of responsible cabinets, answerable to public opinion. In nearly all constitutiona] Buropean countries it has been the custom for an entire cabinet to resign office upon such manifestations of public disapproval as an adverse vote in the legtsiative body. But In usch case the consequence has been a more or less complete reversal in the political con- struction of the cabinet which was able to influence the action of the executive, Since the beginning of the present war many of the Buropean cabinets have thus been reconstructed, but with the single ex- ception of Italy all the changes have been caused by popular desire to meet the in- ternational question and perhaps to strengthen the comstitutional rulers In the conduct of the war. Reports that Secretary Danlels had re- signed or would do so were current to- ¥, but were flatly denled on all sides. The report was started on the well known friendship between Mr. Daniels and Mr. Bryan. Oth embers With President. As & matter of fact nine members of the cabinet stood soildly for the presi- dent's opinion as expressed in the note. Mr, Daniels was with those who Jitfered from the secretary of state. Bome even advised a stronger phraseology than the preaident had used, but on the final dis- cussion the decision to send the note was unanimous. There was a well defined trend of opin- fon in officlal quarters that the reaigna- tion of Mr. Bryan would go far in im- pressing Germany with the earnest in. tention of the United States to insist on ite rights. It 1s understood that the United States has from time to time received authorita- | tive Information that high German offi- lcuu believed the administration was | committed to the policy of uninterrupted peace and did mot intend st any time or under any circumstances to go to war.

The crew Is believed to have trians. Officlal announcement to this ef- fect was made here today, as follows: “‘Yesterday at Kiume one of our dirigi- | bles dropped a number of bombs on quarters being used for military pur- | poses.

The Evening Standard says: “Mr. Bryan's resignation from Presi- dent Wilson's cabinet appears to fore- | shadow a more decided American policy— not necessarily intervention or war. It was some vision of this, no doubt, which led Germafly to dispatch an unotficial emissary to talk unofficlally of peace in the United States: he can be disavowed more easily than Count von Bernstorff when the occasion requires. England will not emulate Germany in attempting to | bully or cajole neutrals as to their policy. “Political feeling will run high in Amer- fea during the next few days, but the fssues are clear enough, although Ger- man agents will attempt to confuse the public mind. | ‘“We- already have expressed our hope that the United States will not be drawn into the confliet, but it is becoming in- creasingly difficult for her to remaln outside."” to Germany. PARIS, June 5.—~The news of the resig- nation of Secretary of State Bryan, which reached Paris too late last night for comment by the morning papers, is glven grbat prominence in the w-nlu‘ editions, which publish detafled sketches of his career. The Midi refers to the retiring secre- tary as a “pi #ays that having been this all his life his resignation should be regarded as & strik- ing warning to Germany. “President Wil- son," this paper continues, “has devel- oped a degree of firmness of which he was not belleved capable, Happen what may, the situation s becoming clearer.
