MB. BRYAN'S PECULIAR VIEWS.

London, June 10

"The Times," in a leader on the resignation of Mr. W. J. Bryan, says it is much more a personal than a political evont. . It is the result of views peculiarly his own. He is net an out-and-out pacificist, but he has a deep conviction of the righteousness arid feasibility of substituting conciliation for forco iv international affairs. Ho sees the country taking up the attitude towards Germany which he insisted involved the risk of war and feels that lie cannot conscientiously be a party to incurring such a liability. The causo nearest his heart is not the maintenance of American interest!; and honour, biit the prevention of war. The resignation may affect the fortunes of tho Democrats, but assuredly it will not affect the situation that has arisen in the United States. Germany, it may be inferred from the Note involving tho crisis, dees not abandon the recent specific demands, but they are contemptuously ignored and evaded at the .Wilhelmstrasso.
