Bryan Tells His Friends
He Cannot Quit Cabinet

Secretary of State Bryan has talked to
some of his closest friends about the re-
ports of his leaving the Cabinet. He
has given them reasons why he feels he
cannot leave the Cabinet at this time.
One is the Mexican situation. Another
is the European war.
Mr.. Bryan feels that to quit the Cabi-
net nov would expose him TO the charge
that his Mexican policy had failed
that the policy OF the State Department
through the war had not been sat.sfac-
tory, and similar attacks. IL would also
give rise to ruInors of friction in the

affairs were calm, is under stood by his
