sEGRETARYO Of STATE BRYAN, 0BJECTNG
TONOTE T0BERuN, QUITsOFFICE
lHmates in Letter to President That He Fears Laers Stand
On Submarine Campaign May Result in War
Between United States and Germany

Washington.--After Tuesdays Cab
met meeting Secretary of State Bryan
resigned from President Wilson's Cab
met. The President has accepted the
resignation, and Robert Lansing, coun-
selor of the State Department, has
been designated as acting secretary of
state.
The resignation was based on the
refusal of Secretary Bryan to sign the
strict note of President Wilson to Ger
many making rejoinder tb the Ger
man reply to President Wilson's note
of May 18th, protesting gainst Ger
man submarine attacks oh unarmed
merchantmen, and demanding that
submarine warfare on such vessels
should cease.
Mr.. Bryan regards Mr.. Wilson's let
ter as too brusque and peremptory and
holds that this governm ent should
have acceded to the German sugges-
tion for an investigation to first deter
mine all the facts in the Lusitania
case.
Mr.. Wilson's refusal to consider this
suggestion and his determination to
regard the charges that the Lusitania
was armed, as irrelevant to the real

Germany Sends Note Saying 1t
Will Furnish RecOmpense.
ALSO EXPRESSES REGRETS
The United States Asked To Furnish
All the Information It Has
In the Case Of the
Gushing.

MISUNDERSTANDING, in a note
cabled to the State Department by
Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, express
ed regrets that, through IAN unfortun-
ate accident" a German submarine
had torpedoed the American steamship
Gulfight and declared itself ready to
furnish full recompense for the dam
age thereby sustained by American
citizens"
In the same communication the Ger
man Foreign ONCE said 1t had not yet
been possible to clear up fully the case
of the American steamer Gushing, re-
ported attacked by a German aero
plane, and asked that the United
States communicate the information in
it's possession concerning this incident.
Blame for the attack on the Gul-
flight was placed by the Foreign Of
fee upon the proximity Of two Brit
ish patrol boats and the absence from
the steamers freeboard of the dis
tinctive markings usually carried by
neutral ships in the war zone. THAT
the attacked steamer carried the
American fiag." the note added, was
first observed at the moment Of firing
the shot"
The Gulhight was torpedoed in the
English Channel five weeks ago, while
bound from Port Arthur, Texas, for
Rouen, France, with oil. She was
towed to Crows Sound and beached
for repairs. Two seamen were
drowned when the crew took to the
boats Immediately after the attack
and the captain died of heart trouble
the next day.
The expression Of regrets and Offer
of reparation follows the principle
outlined in the circular recently sent
to neutral nations by Germany dis
claiming any intention Of attacking
neutral vessels carrying non-cOntra
band cargoes.

STEEL COMBINE
NOT A MONOPOLY
U. S. Government Loses Its
Dissolution Suit.
SOME MEETINGS ILLEGAL
So Were Gary Dinners, But They
Were Stopped Before Suit Was
FlIed-Tennesse Coal and
Iron Deal Upheld.

Trenton, N. 1.-THE United States
District Court for New Jersey handed
down a unanimous decision refusing
the petition of the Federal Government
to dissolve the United States Steel
Corporation and holding that in the
acquisition of its foreign and home
trade the concern did not violate the
Sherman Antitrust act. All the in.
functions asked for by the Department.
of Justice are refused.
As against the Steel Corporation, the
court held that the committee meet.
ings participated in by 95 per cent. OF
the steel trade of the country, includ-
ing the Steel Corporation, subsequent
to the famous Gary dinners of eight
or nine years ago, were unlawful com
binations to control prices, but as
these meetings had stopped before the
Government fled its complaint in Oc-
tober, 1911, the judges held that there
was no occasion for an injunction.
The opinion of the court suggests
that such practices as the committee
meetings lie within the province Of
the new Federal Trade Commission,
but adds that If their repetition is ap-
pretended the court will, on motion Of
the Government, retain jurisdiction Of
the case for that particular purpose.
Largely One OF Business Fact.
A synopsis of the decision of the
senior judge, Joseph ]. Burlington, pre-
pared by direction of the court, states
that the keynote of the entire opinion
is that this case, a proceeding under
the Sherman Antitrust law, is large
ly one of business facts"
In another part of the opinion the
court states that 1.-The real test of mo-
nopoly is not the size of that which
is acquired, but the trade power OF
that which is not acquired" "If mere
size were the test of monopoly and
trade restraint" the court further on
said, I'VE have not one but half a
dozen unlawful monopolies in the
large department stores of single
city"

issues involved, Mr. Bryan believes
may lead to war. In his letter Of
resignation he states frankly that he
and the President differ irreconcil
ably" and he also says that to remain
longer in the Cabinet which has ap.
proved Mr.. Wilson's note would be
unfair to the cause which is nearest
my heart, namely, the prevention OF
war"
Lansing AS Acting Premier.
Secretary Bryan has been endeavor-
ing to have the President revise his
decision, but the President, backed by
his Cabinet and supported by Ameri-
can public opinion, insisted upon his
position, and the note that was drafted
and which was approved at the cab
met meeting went forward without re-
vision or compromise.
While there was no official admis-
sion of differences of opinion in the
Cabinet, and newspaper reports to that
effect were, in fact, unoficially de-
MED, it became known that several
times since the issue with Germany
became acute Secretary Bryan has in
dicated his desire to leave the Cab
met rather than sacrifice his convic-
tions.
