Mr.. Rryans Resignation

The resignation of w. j Bryan from
the rabinet of President Wilson is TO
be regretted-not because there are
not other men who can fill the position
but bccause it shows that the national
administration leaders are not in har-
mony over the grave questions that
con 'front.' the American people. 1t has
rcan realized Tor several days that
dillcrcnces of opinion existed between
the president and MIR. Bryan over the
German situation The heart of the
American republic hoped the two men
would reach an understanding.
our people felt that the frmncss of
Wilson and the tendernesss OF Bryan
could come together upon an equal
understanding. The president feels
that Germany has no right to practice
submarine warfare on a boat carrying
non-combatants. without giving them

boa, is carrying arms and ammunition.

The American Telephone and Tele-

ago that they had completed a through
line between the Atlantic and Pacific
for telephone communication, but it is
hard for anyone to realize what this
means unless they have an opportun-
ity to actually test the service.
For the purpose OF advertising this
service the company have established
at the Exposition in Frisco a pavilion
that will seat about 200 people. On
each chair there is receiver and at

cases Of Sir Edgar Speysr and Sir Er.
nest Cassel. to determine whether they
should retain membership in the J,rivy

Of the fact that he had handed his res

cepted II, he had considered 1t incon-
sistsnt ID view OF his resignation, to

hours to reach them.
Reporta Of Fire Untrue.
Reports that fire in the mine was de-
laying the rescuers were declared to be
untrue. Tho report gained credence
because a great cloud Of smoke poured
out OF the main slope when the ex-
plosion occurred and from the fact that
the bodies recovered were scared by

due to the sheet OF flame which swept
thru the mine when the explosion oc
