Germany will meet the United States

make material concessions to retain
Americas friendship. Oficials who en-
Joy the presidents confidence believe
the immediate crisis in our interna-

Peril is no longer immediate. Wheth.

mands in their entirety will not be

from Berlin. President Wilson has
demanded that American lives be pro
tected and Americans rights recog-
nized to travel where they will on the
high seas.
Germany, 1t is stated upon the high
est authority, certainly will acknowl
edge her willingness to meet these
demands. That Germany will 60 90

''My Dear Mr.. President: 1t is with sin
cere regret that l have reached the conclu-
sion that l should return to you the COM
mission of secretary of state with which you

pared for transmission to the German gov

out violating what deem to be an obliga-
tion to my country, and the issue involved
is of such moment that to remain a member

II therefore respectfully tender my resig-
nation to take effect when the note is sent,
unless you prefer an earlier hour. Alike

latons which have existed between us dur

BRYAN DECLARES HE
Is NOT INCONSISTENT

Omitted Press Dispatch).
WASHINGTON, D. c.. June r.
William Jennings Bryan tonight denied
all allegations that he was inconsistent
In signing the original note to Ger.
many in the Lusitania communication,
and in refusing to sign the rejoinder
now before the kaiser. He carefully
explained that, when he signed the
two first notes, he was expecting that
the United States would take steps
which would make it easy for Germany
20 comply.
Tho steps he desired were accept
ance OF the arbitration plan, an agree
ment to warn American citizens to
keep off steamers carrying war muni-
lions and sending a note to Great
Britain protesting against her freedom
tof the seas. He stuck to his ideas
IMP to tho last, he said. and when they
we're finally rejected there was nothing
or him to do. and at the same time
emAin consistent, but to refuse to
ign the final note.
Incidentally. Bryan confirmed the re-
prt that the latest note had been modi
led after he had rendered his resigna-
)on, but he explained that the modi-
cAtions were not sufficient for him
have withdrawn his resignation.
Tho chief modification in the note,
IL learned tonight. was to open a
ophole for Germany in connection
ith the Lusitania's destruction. Az
tiginally drawn. the rejoinder, in dis.
bsing Of all the German contentious
lat the liner was an armed auxiliary
