Made by Wilson.
Washington. June o. Secretary
Bryan's letter Of resignation to Pres
ident Wilson was as follows:
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 honored me at the be-
ginning of your administration.
Obedience to your sense OF duty and
actuated by the highest motives, you
have prepared for transmission to the
German government 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 member OF
the cabinet would be as unfair to you
as it would be to the cause which is
nearest my heart, namely, the preven-
tion of war.
therefore respectfully tender my
resignation, to take effect when the
note is sent, unless you prefer an
earlier hour. Alike desirous OF reach
ing a peaceful solution Of the problems
arising out of the use of submarines
against merchantmen. we find our
selves differing irreconcilably as to
the methods which should be en-
ployed.
1t falls to your lot to speak officially
for the nation; consider it to be
none the less my duty to endeavor as
a private citizen to promote the END
which you have in view by means
which you do not feel at liberty to
use.
In severing the intimate and pleas
ant relations which have existed be-
tween us during the past two years.
permit me to acknowledge the pro-
found satisfaction which 1t has given
me to be associated with you In the
important work which has come be-
fore the State Department. and to
thank you for the courtesies extended.
With the heartiest good wishes for
your personal welfare and for the sue
cess Of your administration. am, my
dear Mr.. President, very truly yours,

UTAH LANDS MAY BE
 SIGNED IN PROJECT
Decision Rests With SharehoIders-R. s. Officials Not Informed of Action
 by Southsiders

Whether the shareholders of the Utah Land and Irrigation association will want admission to the Salt River project, or whether they merely want to reestablish their use of the govern ment ditch from the main southside canal to the headgate of their system, will probably be decided at a meeting in Mesa october 20. It will be remem- bered that two years ago, the Utah people sought to compel recognition of a claim to an easement in the govern ment canal, the use of which they had had without rental for several years No information regarding the Utahs plans has been received at the Phoenix office of the reclamation service.
 On their refusal to pay a carrying charge, their water was turned to them at waste gate in the southside canal, and they were compelled to build an earth dam in the river bed to pick it up. They now face the proposition of re- building the dam. joining the project or else contracting with the govern ment for the carriage of water to the head of their system.
