NOTE TURNED OVER TO FOREIGN OFFICE [Continued from First Page] municate with her submarine com manders. Former Secretary of State Bryan who is here in the hope, as he ex pressed it of being of some assistant s , ,in preserving peace, continued his conference with Democratic mem bers of Congress to-day. liryim at Work Mr. Bryan's view is that "it would i'C a crime to enter the present war."' The former Secretary of State hopes thai diplomacy in tin submarine con troversy will not fail, although his chief concern, he said is with the if diplomacy does fall. "The responsibility for declaring war is upon Congress, not upon the i President," declared Mr. Bryan, "and it is fair to assume that when the duty of acting falls upon Congress the President will be willing to re frain front embarrassing Congress as lie was anxious that lie siloulil not be | embarrassed." lie suggests arbitra tion of any quarrel that may lie had with any European powers. Secretary Lansing. who conferred : \yith the President before the cabinetJ met ting, said he did not expect any action until a reply was received from l Germany or unless another ship carry- ] ing Americans were torpedoed by a German submarine. He said that in case diplomatic relations netwien the two nations were broken the work j of the United States in caring for the diplomatic interests of Germany in oilier countries in all likelihood would be suspended. American Note Overshadows All News in France; Makes Deep Impression on Public By Associated Press Paris, April 21.—The comment of 'ln French press on President Wilson's i address to Congress may be summed up in these words, wliftrh Petit I'arisien prints in large type as a heading over, j file text of the speech: "Never has the head of a state pro nounced such grave words against a | state with which it was not at war." The President's adress has made a 1 deep impression in France. All the newspapers give it the place of honor. it overshadows the British cabinet •lisis and even the arrival of Russian forces at Marseilles. The speech is not merely a formal injunction, the Petit I Parisien says: it is a closely knit and stern indictment, pronounced in the name of all neutrals "against German barbarity and duplicity, marking the German government with a brand which nothing can efface." The Matin characterises the address .1 epoch-making and continues:' '•When the responsible and almost sovereign head of a hundred million free citizens mounts the rostrum in i congress to declare 'We are the spokes men of the rights of humanity,' lie has I performed an act of immense moral importance. It is in the name of legality that this statesman, having be hind him the country on which the whole world depends, declares before , the whole world: 'We will not tolerate injustice." '"ln those few words his whole mes sage is summed up. It is an historical event, which is deserving of our ad miration as one of the noblest acts in :ho memory of mankind." Post Says if Germany Should Climb Down Trouble Bound to Come From V/ithin By Associated Press Amsterdam, via London, April 21. The Berlin Post, commenting on the crisis between Germany and America, says: "We have heard enough of silly re proaches leveled at us by America's sea-going citizens. If Washington gen tlemen believe we have nothing more important to do than to investigate whether any cat le driver had a lock 1 of his precious hair ruined while cross -1 ing to Europe, then the people i:i the : White House ure terribly mistaken. Why do Americans choose ships in which they can be hurt? Does the American government deny tiiere are j rascals among America's sons? If such rascals are paid with British gold to make dangerous ocean trips, why should Wilson make us responsible for ; their lives? "If Qermany should climb down, j serious trouble is bound to come from 1 within. Germany's leaders prefer that ! the trouble should come from with out." "Germany Never Will Yield to U. S.

The al iunde of the American press is in i comical contrast to the really effective ! ' power of that country. The best j methods of advertisement, of which i Wilson is a master, wear thin in time.

"I do not believe our Congress would declare war against Germany for any cause ; that lias arisen on either side so far. "I take it for granted, however, if the question arises that Congress will act as independently of the President in the discharge of its duties as the President acted toward Congress in the discharge of his constitutional prerogatives: in other words, that Mr. Wilson will be as little inclined to em barrass Congress as Congress was to embarrass him. "It would not only be a calamity but i a crime for President Wilson to force i tiiis country into war with Germany ! at t his time." William J. Bryan, former secretary of State in the Wilson cabinet made this statement last night. Mr. Bryan arrived in Washington ! to-day. He came for the sole purpose of using every resource at his com -1 mantl not only to prevent the country from going to war with Germany, but to prevent President , Wilson from breaking off diplomatic relations with I Germany. • Bluejackets Crawl Into Overalls and Get Skips Ready For Sea Service By Associated Press Boston, Mass., April 21.—'Seven thou sand bluejackets at the Charleston navy yard were put in overalls to-day for the purpose of making the thirty war vessels in the harbor ready for sea at the earliest possible hour. It was j authoritatively stated that virtually | everv ship would be at the top notch | of efficiency in fifteen days. The enlistetl men are being em ! ployed because of the difficulty in ob taining sufficient civilian mechanics. 1 Half of the 7,000 hid been recalled from furloughs and shore loaves. "II is a measure of preparedness." it was officially explained, "the neces sity of which was increased by the fact that we have been handicapped for months by a shortage of civilian work men and material. It we are to make these ships ready for sea at an early notice, repairs must be completed soon, and it was found that the only way to accomplish this was to put the blue jackets to work." The vessels to lie overhauled include six battleships with a total of about 6,000 officers and men, ten torpedo i bout destroyers, three scout cruisers. one submarine and several auxiliary' ships. Neutrals .4re in Extreme Sympathy With I). S. Stand By Associated Press Buenos Ayres, April 21. —In com- ! menting on the American note to cler ically, I.a X.u-ion says that the United States in taking up the defense of all neutrals places itself in a position with which neutrals are in extreme sym pathy. , "The t'nited States is the one great neutral power," says the newspaper. "Consequently its voice must carry the i , greatest weight, not because of the na tion's army and navy, but because of, | its civilization, its democracy and its economic capacity. 1 "The work makes for the solidarity, i of civilization and Christian brother ; hood." ERECT FOUNTAIN WITH AUDIT BALANCE ? [Continued from First Page] | City Commissioner 11. F. Bowman I declined to commit himself on the sub ject to-day other than to say that the "suggestion could better come from someone else as he had offered the petitions of the resident on the Hill, asking Council to place the group at ' the formal entrance to Reservoir j I Park at Twenty-first and Market j streets." "If this suggestion were offered for | your consideration would you oppose i it in Council?" he asked. "Why, no, I don't think so," said he. "However, 1 really think that the proper place is at the formal entrance to Reservoir. If it can't be placed there, the foot of State street would be a much better site than the loca tion that has been suggested by the \ 'art commission.' "Council has appropriated $5,000 for the city audit and by awarding the contract to the Pittsburgh company j for $2,970, a balance of about $2,000 j would be left," he went on. "Of (course I think it might lie best to say what disposition to make of that bal ance ofter the audit is completed." "Couldn't the election of the foun- I loin be started in the meantime? It ' couldn't be completed much before j August t and wouldn't this give ample chance to find the money?" was sug | gested. "Yes." answered Mr. Bowman. "I ! don't think the statue could be eon- Is; ructed before August 1, that is I j doubte if the whole job could b ; linished, and if it be decidted to use this balance for the purpose, a good start could be made."
