Bryan's Story Untold

Bryan's Story Untold
 The story of his fight to stay the Presidents judgment on the method of dealing with the situation with Germany is, as yet, untold. He made no effort to align other members of the cabinet with him and when he came to the parting of the ways. on an irreconci1able question of prln- cin1e. he did not tell his colleagues generally, hoping that his action to the last would not produce any com plications in the cabinet.
 For three days-from Saturday to Monday-the President had Mr. Bryan's resignation under considera- yesterdays cabinet meeting until the Presidents letter of acceptance reach ed him. The President had invited him to attend after letting the cabt- net know of the situation.
 Quietly the consideration of the note continued and at the end of the meeting the President and remaining members of the cabinet expressed to MT. Bryan their sense of personal re- gret.
 The close personal relationship of MT. Bryan and the President will be reflected in the former secretary's flu t11re course, it was learned to-day,
 
 continue 8 staunch political support CT of MT. Wilson on domestic affairs and believes he can even assist him in the sentiment he hopes to build up for the principle of investigation of disputes before hostilities are begun. It is this idea which was embodied in the peace pact negotiated by MT. Bryan with the principal nations Of the world-an but Germany, Austria and Belgium and Japan, the first three of which had accepted the prtn- ciple.
 Late today, after the note to Ger many is on its way to Berlin, MT. Bryan plans to issue from ms nome a statement outlining his position on the questions that has arisen on the relations of the United States and Germany. MT. Bryan contends it would be better to submit the entire question to an Investigating commits sion and, pending it's deliberations, have Americans refrain from taking passage on ships carrying contraband.
 President Wilson is said to have been opposed to that idea, not only because he believed the United States, in effect, would thereby be yielding it's rights under international law but because there was no guaranty that lawful American commerce would be free from dangers during the discus sion.
 That these principles are not of sufficient strength in American public opinion for the Washington fovern- rnent to commit itself to so firm a policy might result in war, is the conviction of MT. Bryan and he hopes to test public sentiment in a way that will assist the President as the Ameri- can governments policy is developed.
 MT. Bryan was up early to begin closing up his affairs at the state de-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-06-09

partment Before breakfast he took a long horseback ride along through Rock Creek Park and then returned to his home, received one caller, Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of labor, who stopped on his way to his office to speak a, word of regret at the sec retary'S departure.
 MT. Bryan's letter of resignation had asked that his resignation be effective when the note was sent, unless Presi- dent Wilson wished to accept it soon CT. When NFrs Bryan started for his office Mrs. Bryan walked down the drive with him to his carriage and at the approach of the couple, the old state department coachman, who for many years has driven the carriages which are assigned to the secretary got down from his box and, hat in hand, told them both how much he re- gretted to see MT. Bryan go and how much he had appreciated the secre- tary's kindnesses-
 As the secretary drove to his office, probably for the last time, he passed throngs of government clerks on their way to their desks reading in the morning papers the news of his resig- nation. He was surrounded by scores who wanted to say a. word of goodbye as he entered his offices.
 Counsellor Lansing, who, upon MT. Bryan's resignation becomes acting secretary, was at his desk early today and shortly before 10 o'clock went to the White House and saw the Presi- dent. So far as state department rec ords show, MT. Bryan is the first sec retary to resign as the direct result of a clear issue with the President on foreign policy. Some of his predeces- sors have had differences with their chiefs but usually those have arisen from divergent views on details of negotiations but never have they de- veIoped to a point involving the sur render of a portfolio.
 The nearest approach to MT. Bry- ans case was the resignation in 1898 of James A.. Garry, of Maryland, postmaster-genera in President Mo Kinley's cabinet. His resignation was based upon repugnance to the approaching war with Spain.
 In MT. Bryan's dramatic resigna- ton observers in some quarters pro fessed to see a development in this country of the European idea of re- sponsible cabinets answeralbIe to pub lie opinion. In nearly all constitu- tional European countries it has been the custom of an entire cabinet to resign office upon such manifestation of public disapprovaa as an adverse vote in the legislative body but in such case the consequence has been a more or less complete reversal in the political construction of the cab inet which was able to influence the action of the executive,
 Since the beginning of the present war many of the European cabinets have been reconstructed but with the ngle exception of Italy all of the changes have been caused by popular desire to meet the internal question and, perhaps, to strengthen the con stitutionaI rulers in the conduct of the war.

PRIZE WINNERS IN 500
MILE SPEEDWAY RACE

De Palma was pressing him hard. The
time made by the Stutz driver was
1888 and the average 1892. AS the
race progressed the average speed
dropped and although an occasional
squirt would be seen, it was manifest
that no new marks would be establish
ed. Resta in the meantime stopped to-
locate his engine trouble and found
that his oil pump had been broken. His
car was backed into the shade of the
judges stand and the favorite in the
betting watched his cc-workers WhiZ
around the rough course.
Ralph Milford, who was driving Har-
ry J. Tremain's Deusenberg, had been
making a creditable showing, but on
his 60th lap, the winner of the Des
Moines grind was given the white flag
and upon pulling into the pit he was
informed that his radiator hood was
hanging loose.
De Palma in Second Place.
Cooper was leading at 100 miles with
an average Of 1871. De Palma was
second and Anderson third. De Palma
lost more ground through engine trou-
BILE, and at 100 miles Anderson was
second to Cooper. De Palma once
more broke into the speed class and
at $50 miles he was in second place,
but engine trouble again brought him
to the pits.
Two hundred miles Of racing found
Anderson still leading, with Cooper a
close second. De Palma's engine con-
tinued to give him grief and finally
the second Italian withdrew, complain
ing that oil had got into the curbur
etor. The withdrawal of De Palma left
only the Stutz team to fight it out for
first place as O'Donnell was miles be
hind. The race between the two
white cars was interesting, but the
spectators began to lose interest and
as Anderson later gave way to re-
lief driver, the contest was not one be-
tween drivers so much as a race to
show the durability of the machines.
With no outside opposition, both An
derson and Cooper slowed down per-
ceptably and, although both seemed to
be dragging the best speed possible
out of their cars, it is a safe assertion
that better time would have been made
had Resta or De Palma, or both, been
in the race. At shutdown Starter Wag
ner tagged Billy Chandler and Barney
Oldfield and both were awarded prizes
although they did not finish the 500
miles. Brown in the Du Cheasneau was
the last man to give up at the pits.
