June 8, 1915
my Dear Mr. Bryan:
81 accept your resignation only be-
cause you insist upon its acceptance,
and l accept it with much more than
deep regret, with feeling of personal
| sorrow. Our two years Of close asso-
citation have been very delightful to
me. Our judgments have accorded in
practically every matter Of official
duty and of public policy until now;
your support of the work and pur-
poses of the administration has been
bgenerous and loyal beyond praise;
your devotion to the duties of your
great Office and your eagerness to
take advantage Of every great oIspor-
tunity for service it offered has been
an example to the rest of us; you
have earned our affectionate admira-
ton and friendship. Even now we
are not separated in the object we
seek, but only in the method by which
we seek It.
ut is for these reasons my feeling
about your retirement from the Sec
retaryship of state goes so much deep
er than regret. l sincerely deplore it.
Our objects are the same, and we
ought to pursue them together. /
yielded to your desire only because I
must; and wish to bid you Godspeed
in the parting. We shall continue to
work for the same causes even when
we do not work in the same way.
with affectionate regards,
| Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON,"

on England.

London, June "a death duel be-
tween British monoplane and Ger
man Zeppelin was fought over mile
in the air just outside of Brussels
early in the morning. The battle,
which is regarded as one OF the most
thrilling in all the history of war
fare, came to an end when the Ger

Thirty-two men were killed.
The fight in the clouds followed the
nineteenth Zeppelin raid on the Brit
ish coast. Incendiary and explosive
bombs were dropped on towns on the
eastern coast, killing five persons aud
injuring forty others. Two fires also
were caused.
One of the invading dirigibles was
pursued by monoplane in charge of
Flight Sublieutenant Warneford, R. N,
a Canadian. Just before daybreak the
British craft overhauled the larger air
ship and the battle begun.
Knowing he had little chance to COM
bat the larger guns carried by the
giant Zeppelin, Lieutenant Warneford.
by masterful maneuvering, kept out
of range and gained a position of
about six hundred feet above the
dirigible. Then the monoplane, just
as the morning sun came out Of the
east, dropped six bombs, apparently
releasing them simultaneously.
Each explosive hit the big gas bag,
and the German machine, with thirty
two on board, swayed for an instant,
then shot downward to the ground
at a tremendous rate and almost
crashed through the roof of a convent.
But the victorious monoplane al
most met with the same fate. So
great was the force of the explosion
that the smaller craft was tossed up
ward over one hundred feet and turned
a gigantic somersault. The monoplane
turned upside down and began to drop.
Just in time the aviator, pulling him.

He returned safely to the hangar.

Some of Mr.. Bryan's conciliatory
spirit has been incorporated in the
note, but the steel ring of that portion
of the first Lusitania document, which
was written by the president himself,
was not toned down in any way.
When the cabinet met observers at
the White House were astounded to
see that Mr.. Bryan was not there
promptly at the appointed hour. The
cabinet was in session for full hour
before he appeared.
1t was after the luncheon of the cab
met that the news got out that Secre-
tary Bryan had resigned
The action of Mr.. Bryan in breaking
with the president comes at a critical
period Of the administration. scarcely
more Psychological than that minute
Of the Baltimore convention when the
Nebraskan led the movement from
Champ Clark which resulted in the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson.
Conscientious scruples on matter
on which he has very decided views
are back of Mr.. Bryan's action, Just as
they were at Baltimore, when he broke
away from his instructions as a dele
gate and swung behind Wilson.
For several months Mr. Bryan's
friends have marveled at the willing
ness with which he has practically eff
faced his own personality in his ca
pacity as the prime cabinet officer OF
the president. Teamwork" was said
to be his watchword, and his every act
and word was devoted to the admins
tration. Observers declared that his
patience in this role was one of the
marvels of recent political events.
Friends Of Mr.. Bryan declared he

functions of the secretary of state I'M
til the presidents attitude ran into a
line of diplomatic action which was
Numerically opposed to what Mr..
Bryan believed to be the best way to
proceed.
Robert Lansing, who succeeds Mr..
Bryan as secretary Of state, has been
counsel for the state department since
the early days of Mr. Wilson's admin
istration. He Is a son-in-law of former
Secretary of State John w. Foster, and
1t Is understood that Mr.. Lansing has
received valuable advice from this
source during the trying days OF the
European war.
Mr.. Lansing Is fifty years old. He
is a son OF the late John Lansing OF
Watertown, N. Y, where he has made
his home for many years. He has been
counsel for the government in many
important controversies with foreign
governments, notably in the Boring
sea dispute with Great Britain.
Bryan's Letter of Resignation.
Following is Mr.. Bryan's letter OF
resignation:
Secretary of State, Washington,
June 8, 1915.
my Dear Mr.. President:
1T is with sincere regret that
have reached the conclusion that
should return to you the commission OF
secretary of state with which you hon
ored me at the beginning of your ad
ministration.
"Obedient to your sense of duty and
actuated by the highest motives, you
have prepared for transmission to the
German government a note in which
cannot join without violating what
deem to be an obligation to my coun
try, and the issue involved is of such
moment that. to remain a member OF
the cabinet would be as unfair to you
as Ii would be to the cause which is
