Outwardly the administration is seeking to minimize the importance of Mr. Bryan's defection. As a mat-! ter of 'fact, however, it is known that the administration is deeply con- cerned over the political consequen- ces that may 'come out of Mr. Bryan's leaving the Cabinet and in- auguration of his propaganda against the President's foreign policy, Emissaries have been sent to Mr. Bryan by the President's close friends to urge him not to make po- litical war upon the President.

"I have recently had an oppor- tunity to hear the Emperor speak of the alcohol question in the pre- sent war. His Majesty on his ac- casion asserted that jre thoroughly maintained the opinion expressed by him in the Muerwik speech on the marine cadets, but that, on the oth- er hand, in war a more extentied use at least of lighter alcholic drinks must be permitted. Thus, for in- stance, light native wine or beer was preferable to water for troops if the water available was of an objection- able quality. Strong drinks, such as spirits of every sort, may under no circumstances be given to the troops." Admiral von Muller says that measures have been taken to prev- ent the sending of spirits of every kind to the troops in the"field. FEAR A COAL EMBARGO, "| Danes to Appeal to England Ger- many.

If all English coal is cut off a New York firm has offered to send 200,000 tons a month, but at con- siderably higher prices than Eng- | lish dealers charge. AMERICAN MESSIANTSM Bryan's Idea Surpasses Ordinary Il lusions, Says Clemenceau. Paris, June 15.--In his editorial disclission of Mr. Bryan's resigna- tion, Georges Clemenceau, in L'Homme Enchaine, expresses sur- prise at the action which his per- sonal acquaintance with the ex-Sec. retary had not led him to foresee. Seeking Mr. Bryan's motive, M. Cle. menceau says: "It is possible that he yielded to a magnificent vision of the total transformation of Europe and the rest of the world after the war through the dictation by Amer- ican Messianism of a law of poace to the whole human race. Doubtless the idea surpasses ordinary human illusions; but Americans dream great dreams. PENSIONS' HEAVY COST.

They are located | at a series -of camps and stations | from Halifax to Nanaimo. Where | work is being done, the mien are quartered in camps. Where the in-| terned aliens are living a more easy life, they are located in stations or | barracks. The proportion of prisoners on the basis of nationality is three Austri- ans to one German. Consequently, | roughly speaking there are three| thousand Austrians, one thousand Germans and a few--a score or s0-- of Turks. The Austrians give no trouble whatever; the Germans need | more looking after. Very few, if any, of the Germans are on outside works. They belong to the class | whose demeanour generally is such | as to call for their internment in| barracks. At Halifax for instance, | and also at Kingston, the 4ntern-| ments are nearly all Germans. The camps are situated at Spirit Lake, Quebec, and = Kapukasing, | Ont., both on the line of the Trans- | continental, and at Petawawa, Val-| cartier ynd at the Arrow Lake, in| the .Banll Park, The stations are! t.

About 600 Germans are in barracks at Halifax, 360 at Amherst, and 250 at Kings- ton. The prisoners of war are dealt with under the regulations pres~-it- ed by the Hague Tribunal. They are served food on the same. ues «8 men at the front. Wher: thev work on allowance of twen.y-live cents a day is made; if doing noth- ing they do not get this. The regulations are strict and for violation of any of them various de- grees of punishment are prescribed. The severest of these is solitary con- finement, and a diet of bread and water. In rare cases, it is said, has it been necessary to take any such rigorous steps. The discipline on the whole is excellent. And difi- culty originates from Germans, who are more restive, more given to in- trigue and trouble-making, though nothing very serious has been at- tempted.

As ft / tion is regarded as well in hand. The representations that more ought to be interned come mainly from municipalities pressed by pro- blems of unemployment. The re- medying of this situation must come in some other way than by wholesale internments. The Gov- ernment is not disposed to look to internment camps or barracks as the solution of this situation. 1,500 Aliens Were Interned In Past Month Ottawa, June 15.--Since the sink- ing the Lusitania, 1,600 Germans and Austrians have been interned in different parts of the country. The| total number interned is now about | 5,000.
