WASHINGTON, June 10.-Mr. Bry-
an late this afternoon made his prom
ised statement giving his reasons for
resigning as secretary of state. 1t is
as follows:
EEMy reason for resigning is clearly
stated in my letter of resignation,
namely, that | may employ as a private
citizen the means which the President
does not feel at liberty to employ. /
honor him for doing what he believes
to be right, and l am sure that he de-
sires, as | do, to find peaceful solu-
tion of the problem which has been ere
ated by the action of the submarines.
1.-TWO of the points upon which we
differ, each conscientious in convic-
tion, are, first, as to the suggestion of
investigation by an international COM
mission. and, second, as to warning
Americans against travelling on bellig-
erent vessels or with cargoes of am
munition l believe that this nation
should frankly state to Germany that
we are willing to apply in this case
the principle which we are bound by
treaties to apply to disputes between
the United States and the thirty coun-
tries with which we have made
treaties providing for investigation of
all disputes of every character and
nature.
Made War Impossible.
Those treaties, negotiations under
this administration, make war practi
cally impossible between this coun
try and those 80 governments, repre-
senting nearly three-fourths of all the
people of the world. Among the ma
| tions with which we have treaties are
| Great Britain, France and Russia. Nc
matter what disputes may arise be
/ tween US aad these treaty nations we
| agree that there shall be no declaration
/ of war and no commencement of hOstil
tiles until the matters in dispute have
| been investigated by an international
commission, and year S time is al
lowed for investigation and report.
''This plan was offered to all the ma
tions without any exceptions what
ever, and Germany was one of the ma
tions that accepted the principle, be
| the twelfth, l think, to accept. NJ
i treaty was actually entered into Will
/ Germany, but / cannot see that tina
should stand in the way when both ma
tions Endorsed the principle. l do no
/ know whether Germany would aceep
ithe offer, but our country should, il
| my Judgment, make the offer. Such al
/ offer, if accepted, would at once reiev'
the tension and silence all the jingoe
kwho are demanding war. Germany ha
always been a friendly nation and ;
great many of our people are of Ger
man ancestry Why should we no
not deal with Germany according t
this plan, to which the nation ha
pledged its support?
"'The second point of difference i
as TO the course which should be pur
sued in regard to Americans travelling
on belligerent ships, or with cargoe
of ammunition. Why should an Amer
lean citizen be permitted to involv
his country in war by travelling on
belligerent ship when he knows tina
the ship will pass through a DANCE

cit is a very one-sided citizen that
compels a government to go to war
over q citizen S rights and vet relieves
the citizen of all obligation to consider

just how far the, government can le-
gally go in actually preventing Ameri-
cans from travelling on belligerent

should 90 as far as it can and that In
case of doubt it should give the benefit
of the doubt to the government. But
even if the government could not le-

my Judgment should, earnestly advise

to leave Mexico when insurrectioI

repeated this advice. This advice, il

MAYO OFFER is ACCEPTED.
Minnesota Regents Decide TO En;el
Six Year Trial Period.

ST. PAUL, June 10.-By a unani-
nous vote of the ten members of the
board of regents present at the Uni
versity of Minnesota yesterday, that
body decided to enter the six year
trial period in which graduate medical
work will be pursued at Rochester,
Mimi, under the offer of the Mayo
foundation, which makes available, III
the event of a permanent arrange
ment, the income of a $2,000,000 en-
dowment.
The action of the board followed a
long discussion over the question of
delay. Accompanying the report of the
executive committee passed on June )
by that body were numerous requests
for delay.
Regent Pierce Butler of st. Paul
moved that application for postpone
ment be denied His grounds for such
a motion were that in the entire col
lection of communications to the
board no new evidence had been sub
mitted

BRITISH CASUALTIES
AMOUNT TO 25S, O69
OF the 5o.342 Killed 1927 Wero Off
GERS, While 6499 officers
Were Wounded.

LONDON, June 10. = Premier AS
uuith announced in the House of Com
mons yesterday that the total of Brit
ish casualties from the beginning of
the war to May 81 was 25S,069 men
killed, wounded and missing.
Divided into these categories, Off
GERS and men, the list shows the fol-
lowing:
Killed Wounded Missing
other ranks, 47,o15 IA, ASP 52,6l7
Totals, 5o,342 153,98O 58,747
The losses in the naval division are
not included in this list. Mr.. Asquith s
statement of losses was for the Con-
tinental and Mediterranean forces of
the Empire. He promised to give the
losses in the naval division later. Meth
er did the list include the forces of
Great Britain engaged in the various
smaller wars IN Africa and the Near
East.
1t is nearly two months since Great
Britain has issued an official list of the
total casualties in Europe On April
II, H. J. Tenant, under-secretary of
war, announced the total of British
losses since the beginning of the fight
ing at 139, BAT men. This was after
eight months of fighting. The last two
months, consequently, have resulted in
roughly 10000 casualties, or about q
600 q day.
Four months ago, or after six
months of fighting, it was announced
officially that Great Britain had lost
104, 900 men in killed, wounded and
missing. The figures just announced
show the losses in the last four months
of the war amounted to $4,000, or
| $4,000 more than in the first six
months The increasing losses may be
accounted for not only by the heavy
fighting Of the spring, but by the fact
that the British army now on the con
| tinent is much larger than during the
early part of the war.
The past three months have seen
particularly heavy losses. During the
week ended June 5 the British casual
ties amounted to 900 officers and
roughly 10000 men. At Neuve Cha
| pelle alone the British, in March, lost
nearly $4,000 men in killed, wounded
and missing.
Great Britain, alone of the powers,
has announced from time to time her
| total casualties. Also she has issued
every two weeks a casualty list of Of
ficers alone. Germany has issued at
home full lists by name of all men
killed, wounded or missing, but the
government has given out no official

northwest of Trieste. in Italia IRE

The Brain of the Graduate.

President Lowells baccalaureate
address to the seniors of Harvard
must have inspired variety of emo,
tions among his listeners He told
them that a man reaches his intel
lectual maxium at about the time he
reaches the limit of physical growth
SO that a youth of 20 has about as
much brain power as he ever will
have. In a sense this was f1atteIins
to the young men, 1t rendered in d
way to confirm them in their tradi-
tonal belief as to the profundity of a
new graduates wisdom. 1t was a war
rant for their conviction that father
is not such superior person as they
had once believed him to be, but there
is another side to the matter. AL
though in moments of exuberance the
youthful graduate may believe him
self to be an extraordinary person,
he may be dimly aware of a sub
stratum of self-distrust in his ma
ture which causes him to reflect that
he is still young. If he is a little
doubtful about his ability to meet the
world and put it under his feet, he
treasures himself with the thought
tfat. there IS still time in which to
grow into the job of being altogether
resolute and efficient. But when the
president of great university tells
him that this very brain with which
he is thinking thoughts of larger de-
velopment is just as good a brain as
it ever will be he may be seized with
something very much like dismay.
But right here enters a considera-
tion which has nothing to do with
brain development. Just as a man
going to sea must get his sea legs,
so a youth who cuts his moorings
and sets forth for himself for the first
time must acquire a new gait and at
titude. This Is not difficult, and If
there is any graduate who thinks that
the completeness of his intellectual
development when coupled with the
sense of helplessness which he MAJ
feel augurs i'll for, the future, let him
consider the self-sufficient street arab
of a dozen years. He has his world |

is fairly out of babyhood.-St Louis |

WAGED WAR ON SPARROWS
Many Killed by Man PatrOlling Fields
on State Farm.

A man with a big gun, who has
been patrolling the wheat fields on
the state farm, has ben playing havoc
with those "pesky English sparrows.
Even Fred Stone, who made the scare
crow famous in "The Wizard of o.
with all his antics, could not have
saved that wheat.
The ten dnd twenty blackkbirds
were not in it with these sparrOws.
Ten thousand saw | at a glance"
they fluttered here, they fiuttered
there. they descended, they devOureG,
they devastated. AS C. B. Hutchison
of the College of Agriculture says,
There was not enough wheat left in
one of my fields to cut. All l got out
of this years crop was small amount
for seed purposes. The sparrows are
town birds; they love to build their
nest under caves and in troughs. This
explains why we farmers near Co.
lumbia have been afflicted with the
pests more than the country farmers.
1t has been absolutely necessary for
us to keep a man on the job in both
our fields during the ripening season.
His gun could be heard almost every
five minutes. OF course, now that the
harvest is over We have called him
off,"

attempted to popularize the despised
bird by declaring a sparrow r-~ val

After the Trained Seals

Mr.. Minot opened his eyes on
Thursday morning with the uncom-
Portable feeling that he was far from
his beloved New York. For a mo-
ment he lay dazed. wandering in that
dim borderland between sleep and
waking. Then, suddenly. he remem-
bered.
"Oh. yes. by jove." he muttered,
I've been knighted. Groom of the
Back-Stairs Scandals and Keeper of
the Royal Jewels-that's me-"
He lifted his pillow. There on the
white sheet sparkled the necklace of
which the whole British nobility was
proud-Chain Lightning's Collar.

monds, pearshaped. perfectly gradu-
ated. His for the moment.
whats Harrowby up to, l Won

Nice, pleasant little party II po-
liceman should find this in my pOck-

Another perfect day shone in that
narrow Spanish street. Up in Man-
haitian theatrical press agents were
crowning huge piles of snow with
posters announcing their attractions.
Ferries were held up by ice in the
river A breeze from the Arctic swept
round the Flatiron building. Here
lazy summer lolled on the bosom of
the town.
In the hotel dining-room Mr.. Minot
encountered Jack Paddock, superb in
white flannels above his grapefruit.
