WASHINGTON, Juno 9. Former Secretary of State Bryan la about to tiks the field In a campaign for peace. Iff a Abatement Issued by him this afternoon he announced In plain terms tltt he resigned from the Cabinet that ho might "employ as a private citizen ih means which the President does not feel at liberty to employ." The ex-Secretary declared that the two points upon which they differed concerning tho right policy to pursue were his own Insistence on application to the German-American case of his peace treaty principle calling for an international Investigation of such controversies as the ono pending between (he Berlin and Washington Governments. Tho other point was tho Secretary's advocacy of action to prevent Americans from entering tho European war joneon board belligerent or munition-carrying ships. The President had balked at both these propositions. The ex-Secretary's fight, It was learned, will take tho form of a plat form campaign to crystallize public sentiment In favor or his policy to such an extent us will lead to a Change of the President's mind to a conversion of tho litter to the Bryan program. It was understood he would remain in "Washington for two or three weeks t wind up personal affairs, that ho and Mrs. Bryan will then pay a short rfilt to their homo in Ashovllle, N. C. The ex-Secretary's statement was given to the public Immediately fol , Wing- his receipt of tho news that tho German note was In course of trans mission to Berlin. It Is as follows: "My reason for resigning is clearly stated in my letter of resignation, ..namely, that I may employ as a private citizen the means which the President docs not feel at liberty to employ. I honor him for doing what 'fie believes to be right, and I am sure that he desires, as I do, to find a peaceful solution qf the problem which has been created by the action of the submarines. 'Two of the points upon which wc differ, each conscientious in con I riction, are, first, as to the suggestion of investigation by an international :.. tommigsion and, second, as to warning Americans against traveling on " Mligercnt vessels or with cargoes of ammunition. .'

J TREATIES MAKE WAR "IMPOSSIBLE" t, "Those treaties, negotiated under this Administration, make war prac- i tfcaljy impossible between this country and those 30 Governments represent ing nearly three-fourth of all tho people of the world. Among the nations With which we have treaties are Great Britain, France and Russia. No Batter what disputes may arise between us and these treaty nations we igrte that there shall be no declaration of war and no commencement of hos tilities until the matters in dispute have been investigated by an interna tional commission and a. year's time is allowed for investigation and report. 'This plan was offered to all the nations without any exceptions what eter, and Germany was one of the nations that accepted the principle, being He twelfth, I think, to accept. No treaty was actually entered into with Germany, but I cannot see that that should stand in the way when both Rations indorse the principle. I do not know whether Germany would ac cept the offer, but our country should, in my judgment, make the offer. 8h an offer, if accepted, would at once relieve the tension and silence n the jingoes who are demanding war, "I believe that this nation should frankly state to Germany that we ire willing to apply in this case the principles which we are bound by treaty to apply to disputes between the United States and the 30 countries with which we have mode treaties providing for investigation of all disputes, of way .character nnditature.

Associates of Charles M. Schwab, head of the Beth lehem Steel Company and of tha Bethle- ham Steel Corporation, declare there Is, no foundation for any rumors that ho Intends to sell to a syndicate of German sympathizers. That sympathizers of tho Kaiser have made overtures la possible, but they aro not the kind regarded as financially responsible, being, In fact, the sort commonly called "hot-air artists." To sell pethlohem to Germany nt pres ent Is unthinkable, said a friend of Mr. Schwab nt noon today, a man of largo business affairs deeply Interested In the progress of the plant. Mr. Schwab has contracts from the Al lies aggregating (100,000,000, which will multiply If tho war keeps on. If ha should sell out those contracts would have to be fulfilled. The Bethlehem cor poration Is a responsible concern and no matter who tho owner would bo tho con tracts would have to be carried out. Should Germans buy It they would simply have to make the Bhells and other muni, tlons of war ordered by Lord Kitchener. SHIBB PAHIC Juno 0.
