Bryan's Note to the People . The American nation today is pondering two notes: One dispatched through official channels
to the German government and insisting on respect for the laws of the sea; the other addressed to the American people by former Secretary Bryan in which he tries to vindicate his course
in resigning from the cabinet.
. Both notes are somewhat of a surprise. The nation expected a sharp note to Germany, one that demanded "strict accountability" and left
nothing more for Germany to do but to acquiesce. Rumors and conjectures, intensified by the resignation of Secretary Bryan because of
the alleged severity of the document keyed the
American people to a high state of expectancy
A perusal of the note shows little that seems
alarming and little that ought induce the secre
tary of state to hand in his resignation. In fact, the note seems more pacific to the average
member of the laity than did the first note
Why Secretary Bryan should have felt inclined
to resign because of the tenor of this commu nication is a mystery. -
Little need be said on Mr. Bryan's statement
to the American people. It is the logical sequence to his oft repeated belief in the principles of the "Prince of Peace." He believes "world peace" is possible through "world friendship." There is no argument in the Bryan note to sustain his position in quitting the cabinet at an hour when such an act might embarrass the president and
the country. This feature is not mentioned. Mr Bryan's unwillingness to share the responsibility of the eventualities of the diplomatic negotiations with Germany is hardly what would be expected from a statesman.
The American people hope his resignation and statement will not prove a stumbling block to President Wilson in further negotiations. Mr. Bryan, of course, has a right to his personal
views on the situation, and as war is incompatible with his standards, he consistently stepped out of the cabinet. His note to the people should
have been left unwritten. There is no need of embarrassing President Wilson through further statements from Mr. Bryan.
Fourth of July Tetanus Public opinion is set against anything but a Safe and Sane Fourth of July celebration. Firecrackers and explosives belong to a day that is gone, and gone forever. Patriotism can manifest jtself much better. Last year there were only three1 deaths from tetanus, while in 1903 there were 417 Fourth of July victims. The decrease in the toll is due to the adoption- of the Safe and Sane Fourth v of July. The United States Public Health Service has issued the following bulletin: 1 "The American people have reason to congratulate themselves over at least one achievement, and that is the rapid disappearance of Fourth of July tetanus. While the total casualties of the glorious day are less than a quarter what they were five years ago the deaths from tetanus have shown a much greater reduction. In 1903 there were 417 Fourth of July victims of that dread malady, in 1909 the number had been reduced to 130, while from last season's celebration there were but 3. This is life conservation
in the true sense of the term. "Why not entirely eliminate the disease this year?" asks the United States Public Health Service. "The blank cartridge wound is the great cause of Fourth of July tetanus. When driven into the tissues the wadding carries with it innumerable bacilli, and the absorption of the poisonous products given off during the growth of these organisms produces the disease. The bacilli thrive only in the absence of oxygen. It is for this reason that the physician enlarges the wound of inlet and after removing all foreign material, dresses the injury in such a manner that development of the organisms is inhibited. In order to accomplish this it is usually necessary to administer a general anaesthetic. Anti-tetanic serum is of great value as a prophylactic measure, but it should be given soon after the receipt of the injury. "Parents should realize that Fourth of July tetanus is easy to prevent, but extremely difficult to cure. No blank cartridge wound is too trivial to receive careful medical attention. However slight the injury may appear, summon a physician and at once adopt energetic measures. Reliance upon home treatment may prove disastrous and result in the sacrifice of life. In 1903, before the widespread recbgnition of the possibilities of preventive treatment, one case of tetanus developed to every 4 blank cartridge wounds reported; in 1914, there was but-1 case i to every 40 such injuries. This is the measure ! of the success of preventive treatment.

"Your excellency's note, in discuss
ing the loss of American lives resulting from the sinking of the steamship Lusitania, adverts at some length to certain Information which the imperial German government has received with regard to the character and outfit of that vessel, and your excellency ex
presses the fear that this information may not have been brought to the at
tention of the government of the
United States. It is stated in the note that the Lusitania was undoubtedly
equipped with masked guns, supplied with trained gunners and special am
munition, transporting troops from
Canada, carrying a cargo not permit
ted under the laws of the United States to a vessel also carrying passengers, and serving, in virtual effect,
as an auxiliary to the naval forces of
Great Britain.
"Fortunately these are matters con
cerning which the government of the United States is in a position to give
the imperial German government of
ficial information. Of the facts alleged in your excellency's note, if true, the
government of the United: . States
would have been bound to take official
cognizance in performing its recog
nized duty as a neutral power and In enforcing its national laws. ' It was its duty to see to it that the Lusitania was not armed for offensive action,
that she was not serving as a trans
port, that she did not carry a cargo prohibited by the statutes of the United States, and that, if in fact she was a naval vessel of Great Britain, she could not receive clearance as a mer-

chant man; and it performed that duty and enforced its statutes with scrupulous vigilance through .- ita regularly constituted officials. , v "It is able, therefore, to assure the imperial German government that it has been misinformed. If the imperial German government should deem itself to be in possession of convincing evidence that the officials of the government of the United State did not perform these duties with thoroughness, the government of the- United States sincerely hopes that it will submit that evidence tor consideration. "Whatever may be the contentions of the imperial government regarding the carriage of contrabands of war on board the Lusitania or regarding the explosion of that material by the torpedo, it need only be said that in view of this government these contentions are irrevalent to the question of the legality of the methods used
by the German naval authorities in
sinking the vessel. .
Details Thrown In Background. "But the sinking of passenger ships
involves principles of humanity which throw into the background any special circumstances of detail that may be thought to affect the cases, principles
which lift it, as the imperial German government will no doubt be quick to
recognize and acknowledge, out or
the class of ordinary subjects of diplomatic discussion or of international controversy. Whatever be the other facts regarding the Lusitania, the principal fact is that a great steamer, prlamrily and chiefly a conveyance for
passengers, and carrying more than a
thousand souls who had no part or
lot in the conduct of the war, was
torpedoed and sunk without so much as a challenge or a warning, and that men, women and children were sent
to their death in circumstances unpar
alleled in modern warfare.
"The fact, that more than one hun
dred American citizens were among those who perished made it the duty
of the government of the United
States to speak of these things and
once more, with solemn, emphasis, to call the attention of the imperial Ger
man government to the grave respon
sibility which the government of the United States conceives that it has incurred in thi s tragic occurrence, and
to the indisputable principles upon
which that responsibility rests.
"The government of the- United
States is contending for something much greater than mere rights of
property or privileges of commerce,
It is contending for nothing less high
and sacred than the rights of human
ity, which every government honors
itself In respecting and which no gov
ernment is justified in resigning on behalf of those under its care and
authority. Only its actual resistance
to capture or refusal to stop when ordered to do so for the purpose of visit
could have afforded .the commander of the submarine any justification for so
much as putting the lives of those on
board the ship in jeopardy.
"This principle the government of
the United States understands the ex
plicit instructions issued on August 3,
1914, by the imperial German admir
alts to MBgpsnmanderji at sea to. have
recognized and embodied, as do toe naval codes of all other nations, and
upon It every traveler and seaman had
a right- to - depend. It is upon this
principle of humanity, as well as upon
the law founded upon this principle.
that the United States must stand. Tender Good Offices.

em meat is willing, now aa before, to accept the good offices of the United
States in an attempt. to come to an understanding with the government of
Great Britain, by which the character and conditions of the war upon the sea
may be changed. The government of the United States would consider it a privilege thus to serve its friends and the world. It stands ready at any time to convey to either government
any intimation or suggestion the other
may be willing to have it convey and cordially Invites, the Imperial German
government to make use of its services
in this way at its convenience. The
whole world is concerned in anything
that may bring about even a partial
accommodation of Interests or in any way mitigate the terrors of the present distressing conflict.
"In the meantime, whatever ar
rangement may happily be made between the parties to the war, and whatever may, in the opinion of the imperial German government, have
been the provocation or the circum
stantial justification for the past acts of its commanders at sea, the government of the United States confidently looks to see the justice and humanity of the government of Germany vindi
cated in all cases where Americans
have been wronged of their rights as
neutral invaders.
"The government of the United
States, therefore, very earnestly and very solemnly renews the representations of its note transmitted to the
imperial German government on the
15th of May, and relies in these rep
resentations upon the principles of hu
manity, the universally recognized understandings of international law, and the ancient friendship of the German
nation.
"The government of the United
States can not admit that the proclam
ation of a war zone from which neu
tral ships have been warned to keep
away may be made to operate as in
any degree an abbreviation of the rights either of American shipmasters
or of American citizens bound on law
ful errands as passengers on mer
chant ships of belligerent nationality.
It does not understand the imperial
government to question those rights,
it understands it also to accept as established beyond question the principle that the lives of non-combatants can not lawfully or rightfully be put
