BILLION BUSHEL WHEAT CROP
 FORECAST FOR UNITED STATES

Should this enormous quantity be harvested. the United States would have upwards of 2S5, ,000 900 bushels of wheat during the coming year to supply the demands of the warning European nations which are expected to increase rather than diminish Domestic consumption will probably reach 35.000,0O0 bushels for food purposes and S0,O00.O00 for seeding Easing it's forecast on the condi- ton of growing crops June first. the crop reporting board estimated the final production of winter and spring wheat combined to be 950.000. 900 bushels. The actual production however. will be greater or less than the figures stated in proportion as copditions from June 1 to harvest time are better or worse than usual
 A billion bushel harvest with good growing conditions is not improbable in view of the fact that in the record crop of the year 1912 prospects in- creased S7.000. 900 bushels from June to harvest. Influenced by the prospective heavy European demands for grain, American farmers last fall sowed the largest area ever planted

DOPE SHEET Is REAL THING AT
 EXAMINATIONS
Commander Traut of Naval Academy Says Papers Containing the Language Questions Misplaced Be fore Examination Day.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

ANNAPOLIS, June S.-Commander Traut, head of the department of modern languages at the naval aca- demy, testifving before the naval court of inquiry investigating the charges of irregularities in the eX- aminations at the academy, told of the suspicious circumstances sur rounding the first examination in his department.
 Testimony was previously given to show that the papers that Nidship- man J. D. Moss claimed to have re- ceived by mail from an anonymous source. the contents of which were distributed as "dope." were papers that had been prepared by the in structors for the examination in mo- dern languages. Traut told of find ing the examination papers misplaced before the examination. He later found his desk had been tempered with.
 One morning. according to the testimony. after the examination pap CTS had been prepared as Com mander Traut and Prof. Fernandez, one of the instructors in the com mander's department, were about to look over the papers. Fernandez told the commander he thought he had placed the papers with a distinguish ing sentence on it on top of a certain package of papers. When this pac- kage was examined by the two the particular paper was not on top. There were a few other papers con- taining the same sentence in the package, and although Fernandez was somewhat disturbed over the incl dent, the commander suggested to him that perhaps the particular pap CT had gotten Tn among the other papers. In the light of subsequent events. however. the incident is re- garded as insignificant.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH WASHINGTON, D. C., June B. William Jennings Bryan. three times democratic candidate for the presiden- cy and author of nearly thrt/ peace treaties with the principal nations of
 the world, resigned as secretary of
 state as a dramatic sequel to a dis agreement with the president over the governments policy toward Germany. 1 The resignation has been accepted by the president. The cabinet then ap- proved the response prepared to the German reply to the Lusita nia note. Robert Lansing, counsellor for the state department who automatically became acting secretary, will sian the document and tomorrow it will be cabled to Berlin. MT. Bryan intends to continue his political support of the
 president. The resignation becomes effective tomorrow
 Rather than sign a document he be-
 lieVec might draw the United States
 into war; Secretary Bryan submitted
 ms resignation in a letter declaring that "the issue involved is of such mo ment that to remain a member of your cabinet would be unfair to you as it would be to the cause which is near est my heart, namely, the prevention of war"
 The president accepted the resiqna ton Tn a letter Of regret, tinqed with a deep personal feelinq of affection. The letters const 'tuting the official an ronncement of Secretary Bryan's de- parture from the cabinet to private life were made public at the White House at six o'clock tonight.
 Dramatically the official relations of William J. Bryan with the admins traitor of the man whose nomination he assisted so materially in bringing about at the Baltimore convention in 1912, came to an end It caused a sensation at the national capital, scarcely paralleled in recent years. Ambassadors, ministers and diploma lists from foreign lands and officials of every rank and station heard the news as It was flashed by newspaper extras tonight. They interpreted variously it's effect on the delicate situation that has arisen between Germany and the Uni ted States.
 The resignation of the staunchest advocate of peace in the presidents olIIcIal family spread broadcast the be- lief that the policy of the United States ''' ttiilllttiN utltTinlneu upon would assert and defend the rights of the Uni ted States in any eventualty that might arise Originally it was the in tentIon of the president and Secretary Bryan to have the announcement of the resignation made simultaneously with the dispatch of the note to Germany but when Secretary Bryan did not at tend the cabinet meeting until the president sent for him, rumors that the president was unable to bring the sec retary of state to his point of view illled the air. Finally, shortly before six o'clock the news leaked out, and was confirmed
 When the cabinet adjourned shortly after one o'clock, Secretary Bryan en- tertatned Seven of his collea gues, all who could attend, at luncheon at the University Club. The luncheon was in the nature of farewell It became known only tonight that twice before in the two years and three months of his term Bryan offered to resign to save the president embarrassment and each time the president refused to ac-

Our two years close asso- citation have been very delightful to me. Our judgments have accorded in practically every matter of offi- cial duty and public policy until now; your support Of the work and pur- poses of the administration have been generous and loyal beyond praise your devotion to the duties of your great office and your eagerness to take advantage of every great op- portunty for the service 1t has of fered have been an example to the rest of us; you have earned our af fectionate admiration and friendship.

It is for these reasons that my feelings about your retirement from the of flee of secretary of state go much deeper than regret. depIore it. Our objects are the same and we ought to pursue them together. | yield to your desire only because l must and l wish to bid you God speed on the parting. We shall con- tinue to work for the same causes even when we do not work in the same way.

Obedient to your sense of duty and actuated by the for transmission to the German gov ernment note in which l cannot join without violating what deem to be an obligation to my country and the issue involved is of such moment that to remain member Of your cabinet would be a unfair to you as it would be to the cause which is nearest my heart, namely the pre- vention Of war.
 "I 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 prob lems arising out Of the subm arines against the merchantmen, we find ourselves differing irreconcilably as to the methods which should be em- 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 pro mote the end which you have in view by means you do not feel at liberty to use.

 The British and Russian military opinion is that the Austro- Germans after their big effort in which they regained a greater part of Galicia, they about exhausted themselves, and the view Is expressed they will soon have to secure and fortify line on which they can withstand the Rus sian counter offensive which has all ready made itself felt on the lower San.

PoLANDERS FACE STARVATION;
PLEA FOR FOOD MADE
Berlin, via The Hague, April 3d.
Many thousand people in several dis
tricts of Poland face starvation to-
day. The government survey shows
that in many places a food supply of
from two to three weeks only is avail
able. The question of relief is now
being considered but because of the
difficulty of purchasing food outside
of Germany this is a difficult task.
Roumania is now permitting the
purchase of corn, beans and barley
in sufficient quantities to feed the
Polish non-combatants in the terri
tory held by Austria. But there are
number of sections where food is still
needed. Sweden has refused to per-
NIT the export of wheat or other
foodstuffs even though purchased for
philanthropic work.
Carleton Gibson, head of the Amer
lean relief work, today issued through
the United Press an appeal to Ameri-
cans to aid in this work. He urges
all who can to send Immediately by
parcel post bour, beans, corn and
rye, addressed:
Carleton Gibson, Distribution Cen
eral, International Commission for
Relief of Poland, Berlin"
If the responses are prompt he be-
ieves enough food will be available in
the near future to tide the inhabitants
of Poland over until the relief forces
can get supply of grain.
