Circumstances Regarded as With

Washington, JulS 6--FoImal an.
nouncement of the resignation of
George Fred Williams as minister to
day at the State Department.. Sec
retary Bryan issued this statement
without comment:
"2Ir. williams requests Secretary
Bryan TO tender 10 the President his
resignation as minister TO Greece and
Montenegro He says the reason for
his resignation is that he cannot COM
mcnt upon the situation in Albania, as
he would like. under the restraint I'm
posed by his diplomatic position, and
that he does not feel that he can
conscientiousiy keep silent with the
knowledge which he has of what is be-
ing done.
'He says that he considers the sue
cess of the President more important
to The world than all of the efforts OF
othcr men, and does not wish to em-
barrass him. and wishes to thank him
for tho consideration which has been
shown him"

RESIGNATION TODAY
President Wilson is expected to ac-
cept the resignation tomorrow.
Aroused over press dispatches quot
ing the minister as bitterly criticizins

ana arrliGnng the responsible ELL

his resignation to be asked for last
Friday night. 1t is understood how

CONFERENCE PLANS
ARE AT a STANDSTILI,

Washington. July 6.--Plans for the
proposed conference between the con-
tending factions over MeXico's internal
affairs appears tonight to be at "a
standstill. 1t was generally believed
here that no arrangement for a meet-
ing could be made until the parley at
Torreon between Villas and Carranza's
generals has adjusted differences be-
tween the Constitutionalist leaders.
That probably will consume several
more days.
DR.. Romuio S. Naon, one Of the South
American mediators, who conferred
with Secretary Bryan to-day. reiterated
expressions of hope that Carranza and
Villa soon would have adjusted their
internecine troubles, and that then the
first Constitutionalist chief would be
authorized by the leaders of the revo-
luton to send delegates to confer with
Huertas representatives Agents OF
CarranZa here received reports from
the Villa conference at Tor
rcon. which they insisted held out
strong encouragement that all the In
ternal troubles Of the revolutionists
would be amicably settled The case

still persisted that he contemplated
