TENSION GENERALLY RELAXED Gerard Officially Announces Deliv- ery to German Government of American Rejoinder. FEELING OF OPTIMISM STRONG WASHINGTON June 13.—Of- ticial announcement of the delivery of the American note to the German government reiterating insistence that submarine warfare conform to the laws of humanity and interna- tional law was received today from | Ambassador Gerard at Berlin. The message came at the close of & day marked by a wmore optimistic feeling in official quarters that the German answer would forestall any possibility of war between the na- tions and also avoid & breach of dip- lomatic relations. Tension Relaxed. Apparently there was a general relax- stion of tenslon in the international | situation. President Wilson spent part of the day at golf and let it be known that later in the month he planned to take @ short vacation at his summer home ifi Cornish, N. '[. No answer to the American rejoinder 1s expected for ten days at least, and there is convie- tion here that the Berlin authorities will awalt the arrival there of Meyer Ger- hard, official representative of Ambas- sador Bernstorff, before their anawer is framed. s Former Secretary of State Bryan, who resigned his portfollo rather than sign the second note to Germany, lesued an- other statement late today, declaring that the note was materially revised fol- lowing the presentation of his resigna- tion. The revision, Mr. Bryan averred, softened the mote, but was not sufficlent to justify him In withdrawing nis resig- nation, “It {s true,” said Mr. Bryan, “‘that 1 saw the final draft of the note just before my resignation took cffect, but it contpined an Important change.

A FIRST L TRIBUTE TO FLAG Join with Other Organizations and Hold Their Exercises in Han- scom Park Sunday. ONT-OF-TOWN PEOPLE PRESENT Thousands of persons gathered in Han- scom park in the vicinity of the grand- stand Sunday afternoon for the national Flag day exercises of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Other Flag days in former years have been celebrated by the Elks in Omaha, but perhaps never attended by a larer crowd of men, women and children than the celebration Sunday afternoon. Na~ ture semed to have had the day hand- made for the occasion. It was not too hot, and yet not cool enough to make it uncomfortable in the shade. 8o thou- sands were walting for the procession of veterans, cadets, militia, Fiks, bands and other organizations that marched out to the appointed place at 3:3 o'clock. During the morning teams were busy haulding chairs and benches. As the day gave promise of belng ideal, the manage- ment looked .for a large crowd and ar- ranged an especially large number of seats in order just west of the bandstand and improvised speakers’ stand. It was 4. Nete Much Soften change, while very much sof(én- ing the note, was not, however, sutficient n 'my judgment, to justify me in asking permission to withdraw my resignation. A8 Germany had suggested arbitration, I felt that we could not do less than reply to thin offer by expressing v will- lr:ln-l to apply the principle of the peace treaties to the case.” ¥ “What was the change In the note? Mr Bryan was asked. “1 not discuss that,” he repiled. arranged that thousands oould have seats, and yet when the exercises were on #0 huge ‘was the mass of humanity that elbowed for standing room that those who came late could not have toid where the seats were supposed to be. Start to the Park. At 2 o'clock the Omaha Drum corps gave a concert in front of the Iike' hall on Fifteenth street. [ollowing this the Omaha Postoffice band gave a con- cert there. Shortly after 2:45 Major E. K. Ster- ricker of the Nebraska National Guard, It was suggested that the clause added to the note was that saying the United States would entertain suy evidence Ger-| many might have that officials of this government had not thoroughly performed | thelr duty in examining the Lusitania before its departure to see that it was not armed for offenaive action. Mr. Bryan only smiled at the suggestion. ng Also Silent. Secretary Lansing also declined to dis~ cuss changos made In the note. The clauso teferred to follo “if the imperial German government should’ deem itself to be in possession of convincing evidence that the officials of tha government of the United States did not perforn: those duties with thorough- ness the government of the United States Lopes that it will submit that evidence for considoration.” “Irrecpective of whether that clause was inserted or mot,” Mr. Bryan was asked, “does il mot open the way for further negotiations with Germany?’ “1 can only reiterate what I have sald, that the note was softened,”” Mr. Bryan replied, “but not sufficlently to_justify me in asking permission to withdraw my resignation.” Replies to Charges. | In his statement tonight Mr. Bryan re- plied to published charges of inconsis- tency besausc he signed the first note following the Lusitania incident and re- fused to rign the second. ““I'he notes,”” he said, “must Le consid- ered in econnection with the conditions under which tbey were sent.

DEFENDS SINKING OF LINER BERLIN (via London), June 13. —The Berlin morning papers gen- e¢rally comment more or less extend- edly on the American note along the | lines followed by the Saturday even- ing papers. While there is a general disposi- tion to recog nize the friendly tone | of the note and the fact that it makes further negotiations possible, the press is divided, roughly, into two | parties; one of which appears dis- posed to enter into negotiations look- ing to a compromise on a new basis, while the other, by implication or expressly, rejects any departure {from the course heretdYore followed. | Among the representatives of the lat- ter idea Is the Tagliche Rundschau, jwhich declares that while the note seeks a way to compromise, it seeks it along lines “which must result to the disad- vantage of Germady." Opinion of Run . The Tageliche Rundschau continues: “The note, therefore, is calculated only to postpone a settlement of German- American relations, and not bring it about. The friendly tone we acknowl- edge, but the declaration the sinking of the Lusitania was unparalleled In war- fare seems opposed to the character of uprigh friendship." | The Rundschau deends the sinking of {the Lusitania, and in conclusion de- claree: “And the watchword is: ‘The torpedoing will go on.' " The Kreuz Zeitung emphasizes Ger- many’s right to prevent the shipment of ammunition to an enemy by every means. It also is unable to see what England can offer in return for the abandonment Of the submarine campaign, “since the plan to starve Germany has finally failed.” Count von Reventlow in the Tages Zeltunig says: “If President Wilson per- sists in his refusal recognize German declaration of ‘d*War zoue, we are not able to oconcelve of an agreement © reven a real unllerstanding.” Citizen Detains Motorist Speeding Away from Accident “John H.

F. T. Rouse Talks to Graduat- ing Class of the High School at His Church. SPEAKS OF ABUNDANT LIFE Baccalaureate services for the gradu- ating class of Omaha Central High school drew to the First Congregational church and audience of seniors amd their friends which tested its seating capacity yester- day morning. A serman by Rev. Fred- erick T. Remse, which abounded in prac- tical suggestions, a charming musical program and the solemhity of the church rites' combined to make the occasion memorable and valuable to the graduates. Rev. Mr, Rouse's subject, "“The Abound- ing life,” was devoted to a plea to his young hearers to avold “time serving" in the work which they may do, to gain a broad view of their relationship to the world and to devote themselves to genuine service, in which they would find satis- faction and happiness. He said in part: The Abundant Life, “What better theme could 1 take for you who are thus on the threshold of a potential life of greatest interest, than| that of life, “The Abundant Life.” “1 have an exceeding desire, not only that you should live, but that you should live abundantly; go I will venture to give three suggestions, on, on how, to live, but how to live fully, freely, abundantly. ‘“The threp laws of the abundant life are: To think; to foel; to sérve, Oneé ls not really allve till he is alive mentally.

The Austrians in thelr official report claim to have succeeded in crossing the river to the cast of Horodenks, a move- ment which, in view of their recent ex- perience near %urawna, might prove dangerous, Lemberg Still Objective. The Austro-Germans, however, still have Lemberg as their objective and they are not likely to allow any reverses they have suffered near Zurawna and east of Przemysl to put them off. So that fighting as severe as any witnessed |in recent weeks maye be expescted dur- ing the next few days. Heavy fighting elso continues in the Baltic provinces and on the East Prus- slan frontler, in which both sides claim advantages. With the view doubtiess of preventing the Ruassians from sending re- Inforcements to either of their wings the Germans yesterday delivered an attack along the Rawka river between Bolimow and Zochacsew, the scene of important battles last winter when the Germans tried to reach Warsaw by the direct route from the west. In yesterday's attack the Germans claim to have broken into the Russian positions and to have taken 5,000 prisoners. . v At varjous points betieen Rhelms and north of Arras the French continue thelr attacks, which they report {0 have been. succeksful, but whidh thé . on the other hand, inviriably state have been repulsed. Continnous Fighting in West, Although no big forward movement has been made, the fighting is almost con- tinuous along the line from the sea to Champagne and in the Woevre. The British and Belglans, although they are not doing much attacking, are playing an important role in these operations, for to them falls the task of holding large German forces on their front by threatening an offensive .and thus pre- venting the Germans from sending velief to those troops which the French are assalling. The Itallans have scored another suc- cess on the Isonso river by the capture of the town of Gradisca, and it is re- ported that they are carrying out a istrong offensive all along the river as far up as Tolmino, which they are en- |deavoring to outflank. Unofficial reports state that the allies are making steady progress on the Galli- poll penineula, but no detalls are given and official confirmation is lacking. Today's report of Gbrman submarine activity’ shows that one steamer and {three trawlers were sunk. Since Satur- day last German submarines have sunk jfifty-four vesaels, of which seven were neutral, The others comprised two ¥rench, two Belgian, three Russian and forty British. Of the British vessels, thirty-two were fishing craft.
