Washington, June 10.-Bryan is pre-
pairing another statement of his atti-
tude Of the situation between the Unit
ed states and Germany, which he in
tends to issue for publication with the
appearance of the text of the American
note in tomorrow mornings papers
Bryan startled the nation late yes
terday by issuing statement in which
he made an explanation of his reasons
Tor quitting the cabinet at this time.
In his explanation, Bryan revealed
the president had not felt justified in
adopting two suggestions made by
Bryan-zthat an offer should be made
to Germany to submit the questions in
dispute to an international commission
for Investigation during a years time,
and that meanwhile Americans should
by proclamation be warned not to take
passage on any belligerent ships or on
American ships carrying ammunition.
These proposals Bryan expects to urge
upon the people Fin the hope of secur-
ing such an expression of public SEN
timent as will support the president in
employing the remedies in the future
IL he finds 1t consistent, with his sense
OF duty to favor them"
Bryan's statement created almost as
much of sensation as his resignation.

Excellent Adress
by ]. A. G. Preus to
Life In. !. rance Men

sch, & ,gether and before they left
scho -tney had decided to locate to.
gether in North Dakota. Mr.. Preu:
came to North Dakota and looked over
the field but circumstances arose which
changed his plans and he located in
Minnesota.
1t is evident from the success he has
made in Minnesota politics that Mr.
Preus would have been heard from in
the political life Of this state had he
followed out his original plans.
The address Of the evening followed
an excellent banquet served to fifty
insurance men and guests at the Gard
hotel. Mr.. Preus was introduced by
Judge C. A. Pollock who gave a
humorous account of his first attempt
to secure life insurance in Fargo in
pioneer days. He was tossed back
and forth between two agents, both OF
whom told him that the other fellow
represented a poor company He
finally told them they were both liars
and took out $4,000 with each, but
found out afterwards that both had
told the CruLls =
The address of the evening was filled
with meaty facts concerning the life
insurance business, and with sage dis
cussion regarding various phases ol
the business.
Mr., Preus believes that there is alb
soluteIy no chance for any OF the old
line life insurance companies TO Tall
except for Just one cause. He stated
that a bad feature of the life insurance
business is the ability of policy hold
ers to borrow out almost to the. full
extent of the reserve, on demand. he
believed that this should be corrected
He said that in case of panic a run
on an insurance company was a pos
sibility, and the company might nave
to throw it's bonds on panlcky mar
lxet with disastrous results.
Discussing the qualifications OF
AGENTS. Mr.. Preus said that they should
be compelled to pass an examination
much as a doctor or lawyer, and that
the public would then be protected. He
said that no good agent would over
write a policy holder, but would en-
deavor to fit the policy to the mans
needs. -

THE INSURANCE MONUMENT
There is Three Billion Dol
lars Worth of Insurance
in Force in u. S.

That there is $4,000, 100000 worth of
life insurance in force in the United
States was the statement made last
evening by j. A. o. Preus of st. Paul,
state auditor of Minnesota. in his ad-
dress at the closing meeting of the
North Dakota Life Underwriters asso-
citation.
"This is the monument which the
American father has reared to him
self" said Mr.. Preus, land at first
glance the figures seem stupendous
They are stupendous but dividing that
sum by the 1oo.ooo.ooo population gives
but 5000 insurance per capita. That
is small sum and it shows the vast
field that is open to life insurance
men.
Mr.. Preus was formerly insurance
commissioner OF Minnesota, He was
a class mate Of Attorney General
Linde of this state, when they attend
ed the University of Minnesota Law

TO TELL
PUBLIC
RESIGNATION is
CHIEF INTEREST
IN WASHINGTON

Washington, June 10.--Bryan's
resignation and the circumstances
leading up to it, still held the in
terest of Washington, overshadow-
ing the dispatch Of another note
to Germany. Its effect on the ma
tion's foreign relations, also its
political consequences afforded
wide speculation.
Chief attention is concentrated
on the effect of Bryan's statement,
which some officials thought unfor-
tunate, coming at a time when the
discussion with Germany is in prog
ress. Some Of the members Of the
cabinet had advised against the
issuance of a statement.

School Notes

Mr.. Fred L. Mahannah, the
State Inspector of Normal
Training Courses, has sent each
high school a summary show
ing th averages in the Febru-
airy examinations of all the
higl schools in the state. In
the state there are about three
thousand students enrolled in
the Normal Training course.
From these the total number
of manuscripts was l4,453.
The average examination grade
in the various subjects was
computed so that each school
can determine its comparative
ranking. In view of the fact
that this is on. first examina-
ton, we can modestly say that
our students made a very cred
liable showing. The following.
figures will show our relative
standing with other schools.
