Nebraskan Says Change Not Enough
to Justify Him in Withdrawing
Hit Resignation from
Cabinet.
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 .
Secretary Lansing also declined to dla
cusa change made In the note-
The cl-iuso joforred to follows:
If the imperial German government
should' deem Itself to be In poaseaalon of
convincing evidence that the officials of
the government of the United States did
not perform those duties with thorough
neae tho government of the United
Btates hopes that It will submit that
evidence for consideration."
"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."
Replies Charges.
in his statement tonight Mr. Bryan re

"The notes," he said, "must te consid

ranged en especially Urge number of
seats In order Just west of the bandstand
and Improvised speakers' stand. It was
arranged that thousands could hare
seats, and yet when the exercises . were
on so, huge -was, the mass. of, humanity
that elbowed for standing room that
those who came late could not have told
where the seats were supposed to be. j ,
tart to the Park.
At 3 o'clock the Omaha Drum corps
gave a concert in front of the Bike'
hall on Fifteenth street. Following this
the Omaha Postofflce band gave a con

"At this time particularly, whan Eu
rope ia In the throes of awful destruc

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."

TO THINK, TO FEEL,
TO SERVE IS LIFE
Rev. F. T. Rouse Talks to Graduat
ing Class of the High School
at His Church.
SPEAKS OF ABUNDANT LIFE
Baccalaureate services for the gradu
ating claas of Omaha Central High school
drew to the First Congregational church
and audience of seniors and their friends
whtch tested its seating capacity yester
day morning. A serman by Rev, Fred
erick T. RMSue, which abounded In prac
tical suggestions, a charming musical
program and the solemnity of the church
rites' combined to make the occasion
memorable and valuable to the graduates.
Rev. 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."
"I have an exceeding desire, not only
that you should live, but that you should
live abundantly; go I will venture to give
three suggestions, on, on how, to live,
but how to live fully, freely, abundantly.
"The three laws of the abundant . life
aret To think; to feel; to. serve, One la
not really alive till he is ailve mentally.
He who knows the sclenoes, history, art,
literature, lives a thousand lives.
"He lives mora who sot only thinks,
but feels. You must get the world Into
your heart. To feel, - to sympathise, to
love, cannot be taught In books, if you
only thinto yon are an adding machine
if you feel, you are a man, a woman.
Wrk tor Service. .
"The third law of life Is the law of
service. Tou think you are working for
your salary; but. If you are alive, you
are working for the service. He only
really lives who gives. This Is the third
degree. This is that which makes you
like 'God who gives' and above ltta
tribes who take.' Ask Milton how much
he got for his 'Paradise Lost.' Ask
Tennyson how much his 'In Memorlam'
is worth. Ask the Italian, as I once did,
how much the Milan cathedral cost. The
little wernan who kept our modest pen
sion rebuked me, saying, 'You Americano
all the time ask "quanto costs?" How
much cost? We say. It cost as much as
a . morning In May.' That la the price
of your work; In that way alone can you
eetimate.
"God has been plowing deep the fur
rows of tho surface of this earth. Ho
has been aubsoltlng tho entire human
area. He has been enriching It with
fertilizer made of human blood (without
which there Is no remission), lie is sow
ing It with the seed of thoughts wrought
of human anguish and the tears of
womankind. (The blood of passing eras
Is the seed of coming eras.) Since the
last graduating class met here a year aKO
events have taken place that have not
had their parallel In human history.

In Its nascent state. You are to rebuild

"Now is the time to get In your seed.
