meeting adjourned Mir. Bryan invited his Cabinet colleagues to the Shore luncheon the Secretary of State un- burdened himself of the reasons prompting his resignation and what are to be his efforts in the future
 Following the luncheon MT. Bryan returned to the State Department and plunged into some work piled on his desk. At a little after 6 o'clock BEr. Bryan left his office for his home. He went the usual way in the State Department carriage. Upon arrival home he dressed for dinner. So far as could be ascertained he and Mrs. Bryan dined alone.
 Last night MT, Bryan looked as though he did not have a trouble in the world. A little before g o'clock reporters called at MT. Bryan's resi- dence. They was admitted without delay and greeted affably by MT. Bryan. He had the appearance of a well groomed and contented bUsiness man. The lines which those close to him have observed growing around his eyes and mouth indicating unrest and a troubled mind, had almost dis appeared.
 At the corners of his mouth there played two good-natured wrinkles, 1 those wrinkles which come only with smiles. The underjaw did not have any of the tenSeness which has char
 
 MT. Bryan spoke his words were enuu- ciated clearly. but without the snap known to his friends and foes alike recently. Like a man without a care in the world MT. Bryan led the way to the drawing room.
 MT. Bryan declined to discuss his resignation in it's bearing on the notes but said that he would issue a state ment today which would make the entire matter perfectly clear The statement will be made when the note is despatched, and when MT Bryan ceases to be Secretary of State
 In his talk with the newspaper men, however, MT. Bryan made a. number of characteristic observa- tions. Referring to the Presidents attitude, he said:
 'sI don't see how any man with his convictions could do otherwise than he is doing, and cannot do other wise. A man can only act as he be- 1ieves.''
 ''The difference first arose in con nection with the F'alaba incident" MT. Bryan said s'I cannot discuss it fully until the note is sent when my resignation becomes effective. My statement will clear up anything which may be obscure in my letter of resignation."
 Asks d if the difference which the ,r,-tsi.7ent would in his opinion, ez- tend to political matters, he replied:
 ttSo far as I know, we think alike on those questions,
 The Secretary said he could not speak for others in the Cabinet. when asked if the convictions of others Qf the Presidents advisers might force them to follow the example set by hiril.
 '.Ae Sec etary of State, I was placed in a position which no one else oc- curi@d."
 'T do rot believe the question of my successor has been discussed or considered yet" MT. Bryan declared

for at least week thereafter.
 Realizing that for the present there is little to do but await the German answer to the American note, many cabinet officers took a vacation today. Secretary Bryan was the recipient of many telegrams expressing regret at his resignation and commenting him for the manner in which he has conducted his office His resignation was unexpected in official and diplo- amtic Washington generally. Only a small circle of friends knew that MT. Bryan had offered to eliminate him self from the situation to prevent fur ther the action of the cabinet. Twice before, it is now known, MT. Bryan was willing to place before the Presi- dent his resignation but each time the President succeeded in bringing the secretary to his own point of view
 In the present crisis MT Bryan 1s understood to have insisted upon and convinced the President that to re- main in the cabinet would be very ern- known advocacy of he cause of peace, particularly his writing of 30 peace treaties with the principal nations of the world. The principle of these treaties is that which has disputes submitted to an intern ationaI commits sion for a years investigation, during which hostilities are forbidden Frea- ties of this kind have been negotiated with practically all nations except Ja- pan, Germany and Turkey Germany has accepted the prinip1e of the trea- ties. The President heartily endorsed the idea of the treaties.
 The situation with Germany. how ever, constitutes a case which high of
 hc1als here. believed could not be sub mltted to a tribunal for investigation unless some definite guarantee were gwen in advance that the acts com plalned of would not be repeated while the discussion or investigation was in progress. ~ III

WILSON PRAISED ON HIS STAND BY
 PAPERS OF PARIS

Paris, June s-The news of the res iknation of Secretary of State Bryan. which reached Paris too late last night for comment by the morning papers, is given prominence in the evening editions which publish sketches of his career.
 The Midi refers to the retiring Sec retary as a t'pacifst at any price and says that having been this all his life his resignation should be regard ed as a striking warning to Ger many.
 President Wilson, this paper con- tinues, ''has developed a degree of f1rmness of which he was not believed capable. Happen what may, the sit uation is becoming clearer. Let us hope that Berlin will appreciate it's grave significance.''

Secretary Bryan to the President.
 Washington, June 8, 1915

WaSn1ngJOn June S, 191O. My dear MT. President:
 It is with sincere regret that I have reach ed the conclusion that should return to you the commission of Secretary of State, with which you honored me at the beginning of your Administration.
 Obedient to your sense of duty and actuat- ed by the highest motives, you have prepared for transmission to the German Government note in which I cannot join without violating what deem to be an obligation to my coun- try, and the issue involved is of such moment that to remain a member of the Cabinet would be as 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 resig- nation3 to take effect when the note is sent unless you prefer an earlier hour.
 Alike desirous of reaching a peaceful solu- ton of the problems, arising out of the use of submarines against merchantmen, we find ourselves differing irreconcilably as to the methods which should be employed.
 It falls to your lot to speak officially for the nation; I consider it to be none the less my duty to endeavor as 8 private citizen to promote the end which you have in view by means which you do not feel at liberty to use Tn severing the intimate and pleasant rela- tions, which have existed between us during the past two years, permit me to acknowledge the profound satisfaction which it has given me to be associated with you in the impor- tant work which has come before the State Department, and to thank you for the cour tesies extended
 With the heartiest good wishes for your personal welfare and for the success of your Administration, am, my dear MT. President

The President to Secretary Bryan
 Washington, June 8, 1915.


 Washington, June 8, 1915 My dear Mr. Bryan:
 I accept your resignation only because you insist upon it's acceptance; and accept it with much more than deep regret, with feeling of personal sorrow
 Our two years of close association have been very delightful to me. Our judgments have accorded in practically every matter of official duty and of public policy until now; your support of the work and purposes of the Administration has been generous and loyal beyond praise; your devotion to the duties of your great office and your eagerness to take advantage of every great opportunity for service it offered have been an example to the rest of us; you have earned our affec- tionate admiration and friendship. Even now are not separated in the object we seek, but only in the method by which we seek it.
 It is for these reasons my feeling about your retirement from the Secretaryship of State goes so much deeper than regret. I sincerely deplore it.
 Our objects are the same and we ought to pursue them together. I yield to your de- you Godspeed in the parting. We shall con tinue to work for the same causes even when we do not work in the same way. With affectionate regard,
 Sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON. To Hon. William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State

Former State Senator John Keel and Vie Reach Newport Exhausted
 from Battle for Life.

Pine Bluff friends of Mrs. John Keel of near Newport, of her sisters, Mrs. D. w. Richey and Mrs Mar Jewel Conway, read with interest and sympathy yesterday the following re- port from Newport in the Little Rock Gazette:
 ''Form}ar State tSenai or and Mrs. John Keel. from the Keel farm south of Newport, arrived here this 2fter- noon by boat in state of exhaus- tion. They were being cared for at a hotel tonight. They had been with out food or shelter for many hours before they starr ed to Newport. They said the condition of the farms is worse than has been reported. Wa ter has covered all fields. destroying all crops and many buildings have able to give any estimate of the loss of livs stock. but said they believed hundreds of horses cattle and other aniTals perished in the flooI."
 MT. Richev las night communicated with Mir. and Mrs, Keel through the clerk at the hotel at which they are stopping in Newport. MT. and Mrs. Keel were both abed, under treat ment for the utter exhaustion and mc.ry with which they are suffer- ing, bu. no worse troubles are fea red.
 MT. Richay ascertained that Mrs. Richey's mother, Mrs. E. A. Tucker, and the two Keel children, were still on the Keel farm. and would reach Newport today. He urged the en- tire party to come to Pine Bluff un- til conditions in and near Newport improve, but the ma ter has not yet been dNcided.

If we cannot live great passions, we can at least read about Ame Du Barry's ouudoir; if we can aot be smart, we can at least feel that we have an insiders knowledge of the smart set.
