JOHN BASSETT MOORE
May RESIGN SOON
Disappointed by State Depart
ment c0nditiOns-He Takes
a Month to Rest.

WARRINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE departure
Of John Bassett Moore. counsellor Of the
State Department. on a months leave OF
absence has served to direct attention to
q situation that has for long time been
common talk In Washington.
Mr.. Moore's friends say he il keenly
disappointed over the results of Ave
months service in the Bryanised State
Department. His friends do not expect
him to continue to serve through the
Wilson Administration unless conditions
At the Department change materially, but
his present leave Of absence II In accord
ance with plans made months ago and has
no bearing on any likelihood Of his re-
tiring.
Mr., Moore has served twice before in
the Department under experienced and
able men. Consequently he was expecting
conditions far different from those he
encountered when he began his tenure
under Mr.. Bryan. He was reluctant to
take the place Of counsellor. and ac-
cepted II only after President Wilson
had brought to bear the strongest kind
Of personal pressure upon him. urging
him for the good OF the country to give
the new Administration the benefit Of his
exceptional ability and experience In di.
plomacy.
II was expected by all those who knew
Mr.. Moore either personally or by rsputa.
ton that his advice would be sought In
the formulation Of the Administra ra ton 3
policy In foreign relations. Their expec-
tation has not been realised. Except for
his advice In the early days Of the Jana
nese dificulty Mr.. Moore has been ignored
in the more important matters that have
been before the Department
He did not learn OF the decision to send
John Lind as special representative to
Mexico until II had been announced 10
the press. and his advice has not been
sought on the Mexican situation. Instead
upon Mr.. Moore has been thrust vast
quantity q routine work which the In
experienced men brought in by Mr.. Bryan
were unable TO handle properly. This fact
alone has been most irksome to Mr. Moore.
who ranks among the worlds greatest
authorities on international law.
The appointments made by the new
Administration also were disappointing to
Mr.. Moore. He hfd hoped most Of all
that the experienced men Of the Depart
ment and OF the diplomatic service would
be retained. and II this were not possi-
BILE that at least experienced men would
be found to take their places. He has
expressed himself to his friends very
strongly on this point. giving rise to the
impression that he would refuse to con-
tinue In such an uncomfortable and dis
appointing situation indefinitely.

proceedings:
''The Outlook. 2S1 Fourth avenue.
NEW YORK. Sept. 2. 1918.
t"Ofice of Theodore Roosevelt
my DEAR yGovERNoR SuLzER: On my
return from Arizona I have received your
two letters. ! thank you for them. I
belieye ! thoroughly understa nd the as
sauit that is now being made LI,on you.
! have yet to meet single person who
believes or even pretends 20 beiicv" that
a single honest motive has animated the
proceedings OF your antagonists
From Mr.. Murphy himself TO tho ,ng's-
latOrs who Obeyed his dir .c,,ors. there IL
no possible question that all OF your as
sailanfs are the enemies of tho public and
that their aim is to acquire thu evil dopil-
nation OF the state government. and that
the conspiracy against You has rot one
saving impulse behind II that can in tn.
remotest degree be ascribsd to patriotism
or civic spirit or to anvthir', save the
basest impulse OF croot I'd politics.
we have never seen more startling
example OF the power Of the invisible
government under the present system.
The extraordinary thing in that the con.
servative upholders OF this present system
should have witnessed the DEGREES OF the
invisible government carried out within
twenty four hours. and who nevertheless
denounce a. revolutionary our proposal
for changes In the form OF government
whereby the deliberate judgment Of the
majority OF the voters may he executed
within space of time no shorter than
that required for the execution of their
deliberate judgment in the choice Of a
President Of the United States.
Let me add one thing. my dear Gov
ernot. You owe IL to yourself, and TO all
those VINO have supported YOU, to take
IN" earliest opportunity to answer the
charges made against YOU That the
pui poses of those bringing the charges
are wholly evil. J am sure that all honest
men feel. Moreover. am sure that honest
men feel that the assault made upon YOU
by your foes is due to your having stood
up FOR the principles of good government
and decent citizenship, even when II was
necessary TO defy the will Of the bosses of
the two parties and especially Of your
own, and 10 stand in the way Of the
success of the corrupt schemes Of tho
party machine managers
But there is also among homes, men
desire for full and straightforward
explanation and answer in reference to
the charges made against YOU and | very
earnestly hope that as soon as possible
the explanation and answer will he made.

started down the North River at almost
exactly twenty -four hours after he had
agreed to run again for the ofhce OF
Mayor OF New York. His son, Rufus.
and a trained nurse went with hlsn.
He left word that he would be on the
ocean for two weeks. Nowhere else could

he will he gone no one at the City Hall
could tell positively yesterday. His son.
Rufus Gaynor said they hoped to catch
the Cedric at Queenstown and start back
TO New York Immediately. Otherwise
they might stay in Liverpool for two
days and come back on the Laurentic by
way OF Montreal.
One thing seems certain and that is
that the Mayor will not come back until
he has had his rest. Three weeks. pos
s.bly four weeks. will pass before he IL
back at his desk--the first vacation he
has had since he took office In jan

Mr Gaynor kept the secret Of his sail
ting very much to himself. A report went
out from the City Hall last week that
he intended to go yesterday to the Ad-
irondacks. perhaps to Tupper Lake. for .
months rest. No one limited that he was
thinking Of going abroad. His name does
