Presidents Letter to Secretary Bryan.
The Presidents letter to Mr.. Bryan
was as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Bryan: accept your
resignation only because you insist
upon its acceptance; and I regret 1t
with much more deep regret, with a
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 administra-
ton have been generous and loyal be-
yond praise, your devotion to the du-
ties Of your great office and your
eagerness to take advantage of every
great opportunity for service It Of.
fered has been an example to the rest
Of us; you have earned our affection
ate admiration and friendship. Even
now we are not separated in the OBJ
ject we seek, but only in the method
by which we seek it.
It Is for these reasons my feeling
about your retirement from the secre-
taryship Of state goes SO much deeper
than regret. sincerely deplore it.
Our objects are the same and we ought
to pursue them together. yield to
your desire only because I must and
wish to bid you God speed in the part
ing. We shall continue to work for
the same causes even when we do not
work in the same way. With affec-
tionate regard, sincerely yours,
| WOODROW WILSON.

Resisnlna Cabinet Position and Reply
Made by Wilson.
Washington, June o. Secretary
Bryan's letter Of resignation to Pres
ident Wilson was as follows:
My Dear Mr.. President: It is with
sincere regret that have reached the
conclusion that should return to you
the commission of secretary of state.
with which you honored me at the be-
ginning of your administration.
Obedience to your sense of duty and
actuated by the highest motives. you
have prepared for transmission to the
German government note in which I
cannot join without violating what l
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 1t would be to the cause which Is
nearest my heart, namely, the preven-
ton of war.
l therefore respectfully tender my
resignation, to take effect when the
note Is sent, unless you prefer an
earlier hour. Alike desirous of reach
ing peaceful solution of the problems
arising out of the use of submarines
against merchantmen, we find our
selves differing irreconcilab1y as to
the methods which should be en-
ployed.
1t falls to your lot to speak officially
for the nation; consider it to be
none the less my duty to endeavor as
a private citizen to promote the end
which you have in view by means
which you do not feel at liberty to
use.
In severing the intimate and pleas
ant relations which have existed be-
tween us during the past two years,
permit me to acknowledge the pro-
found satisfaction which it has given
me to be associated with you in the
important work which has come be.

thank you for the courtesies extended.
With the heartiest good wishes for
your personal welfare and for the sue
cess Of your administration, am, my
dear Mr.. President, very truly yours,

DADDY's CROUCH FADED AWAY
Little Bobby's Question Gave Him
Chance to Recover His
Good Humor.

Papa had crouch, and an atmos-
phere of deep gloom settled over the
family dinner table. Even little Bobby
felt that something was wrong, but he
had to talk or burst, and he preferred
to talk.
Daddy" he asked, "why did they
throw the tea overheard in Boston
harbor?"
Daddy twirled the spoon in his cup
while he thought up this mean thing
to say: "If it was anything like this
stuff they certainly had mighty good
excuse for throwing it overheard"
Having gotten this remark of his
chest, the old man felt SO good that
he actually smiled, and before he knew
it his crouch was gone.

QUEER LEGAL FICTION.

warships is regarded as belonging to
the parish of Stepney. in London. 1t

the ship is, the sailors who man it all
come from the same parish-Stepney.
This queer legal fiction dates back
to the time of Charles II. In those
days every workingman had to live in
the parish where he was born. and he
could not leave it without finding two
responsible sureties to vouch for his
honesty.
This. of course, became rather puz-
cling in the Isl Of people born at sea
for they had no parish. To get over
the difficulty the Authorities stated that
all born at sea would be regarded as
being born in the parish of Stepney.

parish and no other is lost in the dust
Of official records.

while all marriages solemnized or the
ocean are recorded as though they had
