solute and unconditional Difference to
the President in all matters concerning
foreign relations.
Without having first got the authori
cation OF the President. Mr. Bryan
would not publicly express any View
on any matter Of foreign relations or
appointments TO the department SER
vice.
His own reputation suffered greatly
by this policy of selt-ahnegation he
often bore the responsibility for acts
and appointments which were the Presi-
dents own. while often his attitude was
wholly misinterpreted because he refused
to speak except at the Presidents direc-
ton.
Mr.. Bryan wholly lacked the feeling
Of All his predecessors that the Wash

He refused to take the correspondents
into his confidence in the slightest de-
gree. prcferrirE to let them stumble
along IN blind speculation rather than
to !mpart TO them Informally an under

of the Administration.

him that the only successful course with
them was absolute fairness and justice
accompanied by an equal firmness that

gratitude nor their respect.
During his administration the Latin
Nmcrican diplomats have enjoyed a
larger place in the sun than ever be-
fore, aud they made no secret of their
feelings that their influence with Mr.
BRYAN was very considerable.
Mr.. Bryan enjoyed hugely tho meet

which he presided, and Cave evidence Of

WAsHINGroH, June S.-The resigna-

the event which has been predicted al
most daily since he toNk Office under
President Wilson on March ,, 1918
Though in the case OF the majority OF
these predictions the wish was father
TO the thought. 1t is equally true that
the resignation OF no Cabinet officer was
ever so generally desired. both within
and without his own political party, or
was received with such widespread sat
isfaction and relief as that OF Mr..
Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan has been criticised and as
sailed as has been no other Cabinet
member In years. His motives have
been impugned and his official acts and
utterances attacked with The utmost
severity known 10 American political

He has been called a bufoon and a
