The Resignation Of WIN. J. Byran'

A dramatic sequel to his dis
agreement with the head of the
nation over the governments pol
lev towards Germany, occurred
when Secretary of State VIM. j.
Bryan rendered his resignation to
President Wilson, Tuesday after
noon and it was accepted. This
incident caused a sensation that
has not been equalled IN many q
decade and ambassadors, diploma
lists, ministers from foreign lands
officials from every rank and
station as we'll as the populace, are
Interpreting in every conceivable
way, the effect that it will have
upon the present situation that is
pending between Germany and the
United States.
While Mr.. BrVan's resignation
came as a great surprise. it was
prophesied at the beginning Of
the administration that he would
not work in harmonious harness
until It's close, so while this sud-
deness il startlin 1t is not wholly
unexpected and while Mr.. BrVan's
withdrawal from the President's
cabinet at this crisis, is in many
ways depIorable, for his consistent
attitude as the prince of Peace
has won the love, admiration and
respect of the people, their un'
bounded confidence in their Presi'
dent who has been weighed i'll the
balance and not found wanting,
satisfies them that he is fully
capable of upholding their honor
and rights ard that he can be de-
pended upon to do the right thing
nc the right time and it is thu
Presidents privilege to do it as HI

Report Of Grand Jury, June
Term 1915.

To the Hon. w. T. Cunningham
Judge of 18th judicial Dlstric
Court, sitting in and for thu
Parish of NatchitOches.
We, your Grand Jury duly en-
panelled and sworn in and tor thu
Parish of Natchitoches, La, beG
leave to submit this our fina
report.
We have examined into 12S
cases and have found 81 true bills
and returned IS no bills, and have
passed IL cases for want of sufR
cient evidence to act upon them
intelli0lbly.
As a general rule we find that
crime in the parish of Natchito.
Ches is on the decrease, there
being on our docket mostly mis-.
demeanors, with the exception Of
number of cattle stealing cases
with which we have had to deal.
This crime, we regret to say has
been greatly on the increase lately
and we have had to find some
eight or ten bills for this offence.
This is o crime which we can net
too greatly condemn, and knowing
your honor, as we do, we feel GER
tain that those convicted of this
crime will be properly punished
by you.
We are glad to find that the
crime Of retailing spirituous Ii
quors is very much on the de-
crease, we having found only
about nine cases of such offences
and they being mostly isolated
cases, showing no condition of o
general violation of the law, as
has been the case at times here
tofore.
We have examined all of the
public Offices, the Jail and court
house and clerks Office, the State
Normal School and find everything
to be in good condition.
We wish TO thank all of the
officers of the court for the cour-
tesies and attentions and the as
sistance rendered Us during our
labOrs, and our door keeper for
the faithful performance Of bis !
duty.
Having completed our labors we
respectfully asked that we be dis.
charged for the term.
Respectfully,
