MR. BRYAN EXPOUNDS.
AMERICA'S ROLE.
EXAMPLE OF RESTRAINT.
Washington, June 18.
The ex-Secretary for State, Mr. W. J. Bryan, in the first section of his statement to the press, makes these observations: "War is an international nuisancer The rules of international war seem made for nations at war rather than for peaceful nations. Each side feels justified in encroaching on neutral rights. It is the part of the United States, as head of the group of neutrals and the sincere friend of all belligerents, to set an example of restraint. •
"Aside from sentimental considerations, the neutral nations suffer serious disturbance. Each has new problems thrust on it and old ones are accentuated. War questions intrude on politics, overshadowing economic issues and stimulating agitation for enlarged military and naval appropriations which deeply concern every American citizen."
