NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
IN NOTE TO GERMANY,
CITY LEADERS THINK
"Firm But Temperate," Is
General Opinion.
"Makes Bryan's Attitude
Difficult to Understand,"
Says Koland S. Morris.
Leaders In the business, educational and
political affairs of Philadelphia agreed In
statements made today that there wan
nothing In President Wilson's note to
Qermany calculated to alarm those who
cherish a normal desire for peace.
The note was temperate but firm, In
their opinion. That Mr Hryan had no
good reason to resinn teemea to oo ibhsii
for grnnted by those who did not ex
pressly say so. Perhaps most significant
of expressions In reward to Mr. Bryan's
attitude was that of Itoland S Morris.
Democratic State Chairman, who was an
ardent supporter of the Commoner In tho
presidential campaign of 1908:
"Mr Brnn having sinned the first note,
I am utterly at a loss to understand why
he did not feel Juntlflod In signing tho
second one," he said.
The opinions of lending citizens follow:
RBPltSSBNTATlVK OEOItOE P. DAlt-HOW.-I
think tho American note to
Germany is about what was expected.
It was alone tho same lines as the first
note. It was distinctly friendly In tono
nnd should havo 11 good effect on tho
relations between this country and Oer
mnny. I hnrdly think the noto wan
tern enough to wnrrant a rupture In
the Cabinet, allowing for Mr. Ilryan's
strong pcaco convictions. I think there
must have been soma other reason for
his resignation.
"BRYAN NOT JUSTIFIED."
C 8TTJAR.T PATTERSON, president
Western Saving Funds Society and a
director of the Pennsylvania llnllroad.
As nn Individual citizen not In public
life, I Heartily approve the President's
actions nnd the President's note. As far
as Mr, Bryan Is concerned, I think It
was much to tho interest of the country
that he retired. He never should have
been Secretary of Stntc. Ho Is essen
tially a talker nnd his views nnd tho
expression of his views are always mora
voluminous than luminous. I do not
think there Is anything In the noto
which justified Mr. Brynn In bronklng
faith with tho President.
CdNOIlESSMAN WILLIAM S. VARE:
Having lend the President's noto I feel
aure that tho American pople will bnck
him up In his stand. I am unable to
understand why, If Mr. Brynn wished
to resign, he should have ever signed
tho first note An the matter stands
now I think ho has "flunked." I feol
that Ih the difference between the Pres
ident and Mr. Brynn the people will lino
up unanimously with Mr. Wilson.
BOLAND S. MORRIS: It Is n splendid
note, firm, dlgnllled, absolutely fnlr nnd
yet frlendlv. I cannot see how It can
fall to Impress on the. Gorman Govern
ment tin- ginvlty of the Issuo nnd tho
deep feeling of the American people,
who arc determined nt whatever cost
to sustain the long-recognized rules of
humanity. Mr. Bryan having signed
the first note, I am utterly at a loss
to understand why ho did not feel jus
tified In signing the second one.
"UNMISTAKABLE TERMS."
ALBA B. JOHNSON, president of tho
Baldwin Lojomotlve Works. I think
the President's note Is admirable. It
ta temperate and friendly, but nt tho
snme time sets rorth the position of the
United States in unmlstaknble terms.
It would be very difficult to find any
thing In tt such as even the most ardent
peace advocate of Mr. Bryan's typo
could properly object to. It shows tho
'consummate ability of the acting Secre
tary of Stntc. Mr. Lansing, nnd In
spires the American people with confi
dence In the wisdom of the President,
assisted ov sucri n enpnnio nnviser.
PROVOST EDGAIt F. SMITH, Univer
sity of Pennsylvania I have not read
the text of the note nnd I do not think
that I shall. I Bhnll probably wait and
seo the interpretation plnced upon It
by the newspapers.
"WAR NOT NEARER."
DR. ISAAC 8HARPLESS, president of
Havcrford College: I see nothing In tho
note that would lead to the belief that
the situation between the United" States
and Germany Is more acute, or that war
Is any nearer. The tone Is polite nnd
not calculated to aggravate existing
sentiment. It Is my belief that efforts
looking toward the aversion of a crisis
should be continued to be made.
J. WASHINGTON LOGUE. former Con
gressman The note leaves no misun
derstanding as to the position this Gov
ernment will occupy as regards the
safety of American citizens and the pro
tection of American ships. It Is a dec
laration for humanity, nnd that In mod
ern times warfare must not depend on
Inhuman methodB. It Is n declaration
of America's plan and America's posi
tion In dealing with all, and it Is tho
stand of ,the American people. It Is not
a declaration for war, but It Is a dec
laration for the safety and preservation
of the rights of Americans. It speaks
for peace In demanding safety on those
natural ways Intended for all.
ROBERT S. BRIGHT, president of the
Democratic Club: I think the German
note la forceful and dignified. I approve
every word It contains; the communi
cation admits of no evasions. Germany
will have to give a definite reply.
"NO WAR DRUM SOUNDS."
rORMER CONGRESSMAN MICHAEL
DONOHOE-In view of the stand pre
viously taken by our Government, the
present note Is very moderate. There
Is no sound of the war-drum In It. I
hope and pray that no clrcumstanco
shall arise to necessitate further action
on our part.
CONGRESSMAN GEORGE S. GRAHAM
I am not prepared to make any com
ment at this time. I rather feel that
those connected officially with the Gov
ernment should refrain from public com
ment for a. time,
JAMES P. SULLIVAN, president. Mar
ket Street National Bank. I believe
the note is courteous, but its claims are
Just and that withal Its character Is
firm I am surprised at the moral tone
Of the note, as the resignation of Mr.
Mrjan had led me to believe that the
jMould be of sterner tone, I see
Jfnng In, the note which can be
-(rfroked upon a a step toward a crisis.
-"WILLIAM POTTER, former Ambassador
to Jtaly. War Is a, horrible thing; under

CAPTURE OF MONFALCONE
ITALIANS' GREAT TRIUMPH
Seizure of City Most Serious Blow
Against Trieste.
LONDON, Juno 11.
Tho correspondent of tho Dally News,
In a dlspntch from Milan, says thot tho
capture of Monfnlcone, as announced
In nn official Italian communication, Is
of the highest Importance to Italian arms,
and Is tho first serious blow of the In
vaders against Trieste.
The correspondent says that Monfnlcono
furnished Trieste with light nnd power
and Is the railroad Junction connecting
Trieste, Grndlsca and Gorltz. With this
railway In the hands of the Italians, the
correspondent says, the Austrlans will
find movements along the Shonza line se
riously hampered.
The correspondent continues:
"When tho Italians entered Monfnlcono
they found evidence that tho Austrlans
Intended using nsphyxlntlng gases against
them. They had converted n, largo fac

ture of gases, which thoy purposed using

Lemberg from the west there are 300,000
moving ngalnst the Dniester line In the

Salient Points of American Note
IRON HAND IN GLOVE OF VELVET
The note is couched In friendly and courteous terms, but retains all
the firmness of the first Wilson note addressed to Germany after the sink-
Ine of the Lusltnnla. . ut t,.
The Government of the United States "notes with gra flcallon the
full recognition by the Imperial German Government, lit "
cases of the Cushlng and the Gulfllght. of the principles of all '"
open sea to neutral ships, and the willingness of the Gman Government
to make reparation In cases where neutral countries have been wronged by
submarine attacks. , n .--
The document brushes aside the Justification by the German Govern
ment of the sinking of the British steamship Falaba, by wh ch an Amcrl
can citizen lost bis life, on the ground that the Falaba tried to eP-
In reply to the contention that the Lusltania was armed the Amcrl
can note Informs the Imperial German Government to the contrary, say
ing that "the United States Is In a position to give the Imperial German
Government official Information" on the matter. Reiterating once more
the fact that the Lusltania was nn unnrmed merchantman, bound on a
lawful mission, the note Intimates that the contention of the arming or
the Lusltania Is a direct slur upon the efficiency, thoroughness nnd sense
of duty of the United States officlnis entrusted with the enforcement of
the neutrality laws of the United States.
The note then asserts that whatever the technical circumstances and
details of the sinking of the Lusltania may have been, these must be
thrown Into the background, maintaining that the sinking of passenger
ships "Involves principles of humnnlty" which lift the Lusltnnla case
nbovc the pale of ordinary diplomatic discussion nnd that the contentions
of contraband and the carrying of munitions of wnr by the vessel arc en
tirely irrelevant.
The memorandum closes the reference to the Lusitnnia case by re
peating that the vessel "was torpedoed and sunk without so much as n
challenge or a warning, nnd that men, women and children were sent to
their denth in circumstances unparalleled In modern warfare," and that,
"the Government of the United States is contending for something much
grcntcr than mere rights of property or privileges of commerce. It Is
contending for nothing less high and sacred than the rights of humnnlty,
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.
The note reiterates the demands made In the note of Slay 15 for the
protection of American lives and property on the high seas, and asks that
assurance of the same be given by Gcrmnny.

M Taction will be Indorsed everybody
In the country that opposes war .He left
the Cabinet when ho might have re

time when he felt ho could concentrate
the attention, not alone of the American
people, but of tho entire world on the one
subject dearest to his J'M,rt-c(f'n.bnllsnh,
ment of a brotherhood of nil men In nil
Ihe world He made It plain In his first
complete statement that he realizes what
the coneeiiuonccs will bo If ho Is wrong.
Good Intentions, he declared, cannot atone
for a mistake at such a time He, how
ever, believed his action Justified and
would continue to defend It until con
vinced that the people have repudiated
him.
TEXT OF STATEMENT.
The text of Mr. Bryan's statement fol
lows: To tho American People:
Toil now havo before you tho text or
tho noto to Germany tho note which It
would hnve been my official duty to sign
had I remained Secretary of State. I
ask you to sit In Judgment upon my de
cision to resign rather than to share
responsibility for It. I am sure you will
credit mo with honorable motives, but
that Is not enough. Good Intentions
could not ntono for a mlstako at such
a time, on such a subject nnd under
Buch circumstances.
If your verdict Is against me, I nsk
no mercy; I dcslro nono if I have acted
unwisely. A man In public life must
net according to his conscience, but
however conscientiously ho acts, he
must bo prepared to nccept without
complaint any condemnation which his
own errors may bring upon him; he
must be willing to bear any deserved
punlBhmcnt from ostrnclsm to execution.
But hear mo before you pass sentence.
The President and I ngree In purpose;
wo desire a penceful solution of tho dis
pute which has arisen botween the
United States and Germany. We not
only deslro It, but with equal fervor wo
pray for It, but we differ Irreconcilably
ns to tho means of securing It.
DIFFERENCE NOT PERSONAL.
If It wero merely n personal differ
ence It would bo a matter of little mo
ment, for all tho presumptions nro on
his side tho presumptions that go with
power and authority. He Is your Presi
dent, I nm n prlvnto citizen without of
fice or tltlo but one of the hundred mil
lion of Inhabitants.
Hut the real issue Is not lirtrrern
pcmonsi it Is between nyatrinm nnd
I roly for vindication wholly upon
tho strongth of the position takon.
Among the Influences which Govern
ments employ In dealing with each othor
thero nro two which nro pre-eminent
nnd antagonistic forco and persunslon.
Force spenks with firmness nnd nets
through the ultimatum: persunslon em
ploys argument, courts Investigation
nnd depends upon negotiation. Forco
represents tho old system tho system
that must pass away; persuasion rep
resents the new system tho systom
that has been growing, nil too slowly,
It Is true, but growing for 1000 yenrs.
In the old system war Is the chlof
cornerstone wnr which at Its best Is
Ilttlo better than wnr nt Its worst; tho
now system contemplates nn universal
brotherhood established through the up
lifting power of example.
FEARS NOTE TO GERMANY MEANS
WAR.
If I correctly Interpret the note to
Germnny, it conforms to the stnnd
nriln of the old nystrm rather than to
the rules of the new, and I cheerfully
admit thnt It Is abundantly supported
by precedents precedent written In
chnrnctern of hlood upon nlmost every
page of bumnn hlntory. Austria fur
nishes tho most recent precedent; It
was Austria's firmness that dictated
the ultimatum against Servln. which
set tho world at wnr. Every rulor
now participating In this unparalleled
conflict haB proclaimed his desire for
peace and denied responsibility for
the war, and It Is only charitable that
wo should credit all of thorn with
good faith.
They desired peace, but they sought
It according to the rules of the old
systom. They believed that firmness
would give the best assurance of the
maintenance of peace and, faithfully
following precedent, they wont so near
the fire that they were, one after an
other, sucked Into the contest
NATIONS IN DEATH STRUGGLE.
Never before have the frightful folllea
of this fatal system been so clearly re
vealed as now. The most civilized and
cnllghtened-aye, the most Christian
of tho nations of Europe are grappling
with each other at If In a death strug
gle. They are sacrificing the best and
bravest of their Bona on the battlefield;
they nre convertli.g their gardens Into
cemeteries nnd their homes into houses
of mourning; they nre taxing the wealth
of today and laying a burden of debt
on tho toll of the future; they have
filled the air with thunderbolts moro
dendly than those of Jove and they have
multiplied tho perils of the deep.
Adding fresh fuel to tho flame of hate,
they have dally devised new horrors,
until ono side Is endeavoring to drown
noncombatant men, women and children
at sea, while the other side seeks to
starve non-combatant men, women and
children on land. And they are so ab
sorbed In alternate retaliations and In
competitive cruelties that they Beem,
for the time being, blind to the rights
of neutrals and deaf to the appeals of
humanity.
WAn FRUIT OF OLD SYSTEM
A treo is known by its fruit. The war
In Europe Is the ripened fruit of the old
system.
Tlile Is what flriunun, supported by
force, bus done In the old word ehell

SAVING FUNDS EXEMPT
FROM DRASTIC PROCESS
OF NEW ESCHEAT LAW
Concern Among Depositors
Declared Needless by Of
ficers of Institutions,
Who Say Patrons Are
Protected by Act of 1872.
Grave concern and alarm was felt to
day among depositors In the various sav
ing funds in this city over the so-called
escheat bill, which became a law when
Governor Hrumbaugh signed It yester
day, and which provides that all un
claimed deposits In banks, trust com
panies and similar Institutions shall re
vert to the State after a period of 17
years.
This alarm was promptly "set at rest,
however, by statements of officers In the
saving fund Institutions In this city. The
brief description of the provisions of the
new legislation failed to mako clear the
specific exception of saving funds from
the banking Institutions mentioned.
Ofilcers In the most Important saving
fund Institutions pointed out that the In
stitutions are still governed by the legis
lation enacted In isn. which provides that
funds unslalrao tfter a period of M
years shall automatically escheat to the
Mate. They point out further that this
older law Is more fair to depositors or
their heirs Inasmueh as deposits and In
terest can be recovered at any time
after the eseljsAt by proper legal action,
while the new legislation nxea 10 years as
the maximum period during which action
for recovery may be Instituted.

posits reposed lu the vaults of saving
funds la It. city WM gjso MJt at rw,

be so used, to purchase anything except.-i

The reasons for unclnlmed deposits W ;
varied. In numerous Instances they have i
been made by married woroe who desire! f
to keep their savings a .: et from bus-
bands and used their maiden names. J
Death has often prevented knowledge of y

all of the deposits except one dollar lajjl
order to retain tho bank book, ino ij,
or mislaying of the book makes for for'
getfulness and the acount Is left In IH
bank. Another fruitful cause of i"W
claimed deposits is found in the neglect
of the depositor to remember thitifl

depositor calculates what he believes to
be his balance and withdraws II, forget
ting that the Interest has increased tn
balance. As a consequence, the balance
remains In the bank unclaimed and ac
