TENSION GENERALLY RELAXED Gerard Officially Announces Deliv ery to German Government of American Rejoinder. , FEELING OF OPTIMISM STRONG WASHINGTON June IS. Of ficial announcement of the delivery of the American note to the German government reiterating Insistence that submarine warfare conform to the laws of humanity and Interna tional law was received today from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin. The message came at the close of a day marked by a more optimistic feeling in official quarters that the German answer would forestall any possibility of war between the na tions and also avoid a breach of dip lomatic relations. --' TmiiIm Relaxed. Apparently there wa a general relax ation of tension In the International situation. President Wilson apent part or the day at golf and let It bo known that later in tho month be planned to take a short vacation at hie summer home in Cornish. N. II. No answer to the Amrlun rejoinder la expected for ten days at least, and there is convic tion hera that the' Berlin authorities will await the arrival there of Meyer Ger hard, official representative of Airtbae ador Bemstorff. before their answer ia framed. Former Secretary of State Bryan, who resigned hie portfolio rather than sign the second note to Germany, issued an other atatement late today, declaring! that the note was materially revised fol lowing the presentation of his reels-nation. The revision, Mr. Bryan averred, softened the note, but wa not sufficient to Justify him In withdrawing nle resignation. "It ! true." said Mr. Bryan, inn i saw the final draft of the note Just before my resignation took effect, but it Contained an Important chae. I had no knowledge of this change at the tima my resignation wag tendered and aocepted. 1 , Not Maefc softened. This change, while very much soften ing the note, was not, however, sufficient in my Judgment, to Justify ma in asking permission to withdraw my resignation. As Germany had suggested arbitration. 1 felt that we could not do leas than reply to thin offer by expressing u. wW Ingness to apply the principle of the peace treaties to the case." "What was the chango in the note!' Mr Bryan was aaked. "I cannot discuss thit," he replied. It wae euggested that the clause added to the note wae that anylng the United States would entertain auy evidence Ger many might have that offlclala of this government had not thoroughly performed their duty in examining the Lunltanla before its departure to eee that It waa not armed for offensive action. Mr. Bryan only smiled et the suggestion. I.aaslnSJ .

"IrreipcctWe of whether that clause was inserted or not," Mr. Bryan wae asked, 'does it not open the way for further negotiations with Germany?" -I can only rtlterate what I have said, that the note was softened," Mr. Bryan replied, "tut not sufficiently to Justify ma in asking permission to withdraw my tesignation."

DEFENDS SINKING OF LINER BERLIN (via London), June 13. -The Berlin morning papers gen erally comment more or less extend edly on the American note along the lines followed by the Saturday even ing papers. While there is a general disposi tion to recog nlse tbe friendly tone of the note and tbe fact that It makes further negotiations possible, the press is divided, roughly, into two parties,' one of which appears' dis posed to enter Into negotiations look ing to a compromise on a new basis, while tbe other, by Implication or expressly, rejects any departure from the course heretofore followed. Among the representatives of the lat ter Idea is the Tagllche Rundochau, which declares that while the note Becks a way to compromise, it seeks it along lines "which must result to the disad vantage of Uermady." Oplaloa of Raadsrhaa. The Tagellche Rundschau continues: "The note, .therefore, la calculated only to postpone a settlement of German American relations, and not bring It about.' The friendly tone we acknowl edge, but the declaration the sinking of the LuHltania was unparalleled In war fare seems opposed to the character of uprlgb friendship." The Rundschau defends the sinking of the Irfisitaiila, and in conclusion de clarer: "And the watchword Is: The torpedoing will go on." " The Kreua Zeltung emphasize Ger many's right to prevent the shipment of ammunition te an enemy by every tneana. It also la unable to see what England can offer In return for the abandonment of the submarine campaign, "since the plan to starve Germany has finally failed." Count von Keventlow in the Tagea Zetturig says: "If President Wilson per sists in his refusal to recognise the Garni a declaration of aVwar sou, we are net able to odnceive of an agreement o reven a' real unfieratandlng."

Mr. Rouse's subject, "The Abound ing life." was devoted to a plea to his young hearers to avoid "time serving" In the work which they may do, to gain a broad view of their relationship to the world and to devote themselves to genuine service, In which they would find satis faction and happiness. Ha said In part: The Abuadaat Life. "What better theme could I take for you who are thus on the threshold of a potential life of greatest Interest, than that of life, "The Abundant Life."

FRENCH KEEPING UP ATTACKS LONDON, June IS. Another big battle Is being fought along the line of the Dnelster river In Oalicia, In which the forces of Russia are pitted against those of Austria and Ger many. Those German troops which had crossed 1 the Dnelster at Zurawna having been driven toacfc, and the Russians In eastern Oalicia and Bukowina also having been forced to withdraw to the river, the two armies now face one another across the wide and crooked stream, each making thrusts in an effort to gain the initia tive for an offensive. The Austrian in their official report claim to have succeeded In crossing the river to the east of Horodenka, a move ment which. In view of their recent ex perience near Curewna, might prove dangerous. Lerabers; Still Objective. The Austro-Oermans. however, still have Lrmberg as - their objective and they are not likely to allow any reverses they have suffered near Zurawna and east of Prsemysl to put them off. fto that fighting as severe aa any witnessed in recent weeks mare be expected dur ing the next few days. Heavy fighting also continues in the Baltic provinces and on the Eaat Prus sian frontier, In which both sides claim advantages. With tbe view doubtless of preventing the Russians from sending re inforcements to either of their wings the Germans yesterday delivered an attack along the Rawka river between Bolimow and Zochacsew, the scene of important battles last, winter when the Germans tried to reach Warsaw by the direct route from the west In yesterday's attack the Germans claim to have broken Into the Russian positions and to have, taken S.000 prisoners. .

' Although no big forward movement has been made, the fighting Is almost con tinuous along tbe line from the sea to Champagne and In the Woevre. The British and Belgians, although they are not doing much attacking, are playing an Important role In these operations, for to them falls the task of holding ' large Oerman forces on tbelr front by threatening an offensive and thus pre venting the Germans from sending relief to those troops which the French sre assailing. The Italians have scored another suc cess on the Isonso river by the capture of the town of Oradlsca, and It la re ported that they are carrying out a strong offensive all along the river aa far up as Tolmlno, which they are en deavoring to outflank. Unofficial reports state that the allies are making steady progress en the Galli pot I peninsula, but no details are given and official confirmation Is lacking. .
