Washington. July 6. George Fred
Williams. American Minister TO
Greece. who has stirred Europe by vo-
lent denunciations OF the course OF the
Powers in Albania. where Mr.. Williams
recently made an investigation, has re-
.gned.
The State Department is making con-
siderable mystery about the case, and
Mr. BRYAN denied this afternoon that
Mr.. Williams had been asked 20 sub
nit his resignation. but because OF in
formation coming from White House
sources there is every reason TO be-
lieye. that the Presidept called for the
retirement Of the American diplomat
last week.
President Wilson has sent a dlsa-
vowal 10 the Powers Of any respon-
sbility on the part OF this govern
ment for the utterances Of Mr.. Will
!ams. The President admitted thls
much this morning. although this al
ternoon Mr.. Bryan said that Il had not
been done

day paraphase OF the cable message
from Mr.. Williams containing his
resignation.
Mr.. Williams said the State De-
partment. requests Secretary Bryan to
tender 20 the President his resignation
as Minister TO Greece and Montenegro.
He saws the reason for his resignation
Is that he cannot comment upon me
situation in Albania as lie would Ike
under the restraints imposed by ms
diplomatic position. and that he does
not feel that he can conscientlously
keep silent with the knowledge which
he has OF what is being done. He says
also that he considers the success or
the President more important 20 the
world than ali Of the efforts or other
men and does not wish 70 embarrass
him. and wishes 10 thank him for the
consideration which has been shown
him
Il is known that early In his mis-
sion Mr.. Williams sought 20 have ms
powers extended 10 include Albania.
The State Department hesitated 70 lead
the way in establishing diplomatic
circle az Durazzo In view OF the
slight American interes-s there. ~
did. however. consent 10 Mr.. Williams
request 70 be allowed 70 make a per
sonal investigation Of the Albanian
situation. and there followed the state
ments contained in his contributions
