DISAGREES. WITH PRESI-
 DENTS ATTITUDE
Thinks Wilson's Demands Up- on Germany Too Strong Wants Peace, Not War

Washington, June 8.-Wil- liam Jennings Bryan resigned today as secretary of state as a dramatic sequel to his dis agreement with President Will son over the governments pol icy toward Germany.
 President Wilson accepted the resignation. The cabinet then approved the response to the German reply to the Lusi- tania note. Acting Secretary Robert Lansing will sign the document and 1t will be cable ed to Berlin tomorrow.
 Secretary Bryan will return to private life tomorrow, when his resignation will take effect. He will continue his political support of the president.
 Rather than sign the docu- ment, which he believed might draw the United States into war, Mir. Bryan submitted his resignation in letter, which says, "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 near est my heart, namely, the pre- Vention of war"
 The president accepted the resignation in a letter of re- gret tinged with deep person. al feeling of affection. The letters follow:

OFFICER NOT BELOW
 REAR ADMIRAL GRADE
Chief of Operations to Supervise
 War Strategy in Navy.

Washington, Jan. 7.-The house naval affairs committee today con- tinued consideration of the naval ap- propriation bill which as reported by it's subcommittee, carries $1O2, ,344, 9S6 q reduction of $1,427,023 from that appropriated last year and $1, 162,- 614 from the estimates of the naval department
 The full committee already has adopted a considerable part of the bill including provision for a chief of operations to supervise all war strategy in the navy, and $1,O0O,0o0 for aeronautics.
 Would Bo Rear Admiral.
 Under the terms of the bill the chief of operations would be an or ficer not below the grade of rear ad- miral, would be appointed by the president for a term of four years and who under the secretary of the navy would be assigned to assist the chief operations in the preparation of detailed plans of war not less than 5 officers of and above the rank of lieutenant commander of the navy or major of the marine corps.
 With a view to meeting possible 
 poration in the bill of the provision for a chief of operations on account of it being new legislation, Repre- sentative Hobson has introduced separate measure embodyng the same provision.
 Divided Into Sections.
 Representative Hobson said today that the new office of chief of oper- ations probably would be divided up into sections of history, policy. strat- egy, tactics, logistics (transportation), {, organization, (and co-operation) and execution.
 "The English" said MT. Hobson, call it the navy war staff, with 36 officers and 30 civilian assistants. The Germans make the office a part of the navy staff with 22 commits stoned officers and IS retired officers. and special experts. The Japanese put the office under. the grand gen eral staff. directly under the em- peror."
