Woodrow Wilson
PRESIDENT WILSON'S ACCEPT
ANCE

The Presidents letter to Mr.. Bryan
was as follows:
My dear Mr.. Bryan
II accept your resignation only be-
cause you insist upon its acceptance;
and accept it with much more than
deep regret with feeling of personal
sorrow. Our two years of close asso-
citation 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 pur-
poses 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 has been an ex-
ample to the rest OF us; you have
earned our affectionate admiration and
friendship. Even now we are not
separated in the object we seek, but
only in the method by which we
seek 1t.
ut is for these reasons my feeling
about your retirement from the secre-
taryship of state goes so much deeper
than regret. I 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 godspeed in the
parting. We shall continue to work
for the same causes even when we do
not work in the same way.
with affectionate regard,
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON"

William Jennings Bryan
SECRETARY BRYAN'S RESIGNA-
TON.

Secretary Bryan's letter of resigna-
ton was as follows:
MY dear Mr. President
at is with sincere regret that have
reached the conclusion that | should
return to you the commission of Sec
rotary of State with which you hon
ored me at the beginning of your adj
ministration.
"Obedient to your sense of duty and
actuated by the highest motives, you
have prepared for transmission to the
German government a note in which |
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 member OF
the Cabinet would be as unfair 70 you
as it would be to the cause which is
nearest my heart, namely, the proven
ton OF war.
T, therefore, respectfully tender my
resignation, to take effect when the
note is sent, unless you prefer an
earlier hour. Alike DESTROYS of reach
ing a peaceful solution of the prob
lens arising out of the use of sub
marines against merchantmen, we find
ourselves differing irreconcilably as to
the methods which should be en-
ployed.
1T falls to your lot to speak Off
cially 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-
fore the State Department, and to thank
YOU for the courtesy extended.
with the heartiest good wishes for
YOUR personal welfare and for the sue
cess of your administration, l am, my
dear Mr.. President,
Every truly yours,
(Signed) "W. ]. BRYAN"

Germany, which was that the ship
should be sent to prize court.
The American government asked
that compensation should be paid for
the destruction of the vessel, without
waiting for a decision by the prize
court, but Germany, although ready to
indemnify the owners for their loss
to any case. under the provisions of
the German-American treaty, holds as
general principle that, owing to the
possibility that others than Americans
have interests at stake, the prize court
should first pass on all cases.

|BRYAN'S REASONS
FOR RES|GN|NG
Explains Wherein He Differed
With President.
Welded TO PEACE TREATIES
Former Premier Also Declares That
Americans Should Be Warned Not
To Travel On Vessels Carry
Ino Munitions OF War.

WASHINGTON. - William Jennings
Bryan retired Wednesday at Secretary
OF State. His first act as a private
citizen was to issue statement ex-
planning his reasons for leaving the
Cabinet and announcing that he in
tended to lay his view of what the
American policy toward Germany
should be before the public for judg-
ment
The statement came as sensation.
al climax to day OF farewell speeches
and good wishes from President VIII
son and executive colleagues of the
retiring secretary.
In his explanation Mr.. Bryan reveal
ed that the President had not felt justi-
fed in adopting two suggestions made
by his Secretary of State-that an Of
fer should be made to Germany to sub
init the questions in dispute with the
United States to an international CON-
mission for investigation during
years time and that meanwhile Ameri-
cans should, by proclamation, be
warned not to take passage on any
belligerent ships or on American yes
sells carrying ammunition. These
propositions Mr. Bryan expects to
urge on the people "in the hope of
securing such an expression of public
sentiment as will support the Presi-
dent in employing these remedies IL
in the future he finds ii consistent with
his sense of duty to favor them"
Officials Amazed.
Mr.. Bryan's statement was received
with undisguised amazement in official
quarters. No comment was made at
the White House, but some high off,
Gals indicated that they believed 1t
most unfortunate that so pronounced
an expression of opinion should be
made public while the discussion with
Germany was in progress.
The principle advocated by Mr..
Bryan Is embodied in treaties OF peace
negotiated by the United States with
80 nations, and was accepted by Ger
many although no convention ever was
drafted. The statement is condensa-
ton of the argument which Secretary
Bryan has been making repeatedly to
President Wilson in the last few
weeks, and upon which he hopes to
build up public sentiment in the
United States that will make war with
Germany impossible.
The issuance of the explanation had
been timed to coincide exactly with
the despatch OF the American note to
Germany.

The Best Glory.

I love and commend a true good
fame, because it is the shadow of vir-
ture; not that it doth any good to the
body which it accompanies, but 1t is
an efiicacious shadow, and, like that of
st. Peter, cures the diseases of others.
The best kind of glory, no doubt, is
that which is reflected from honesty,
such as was the glory of Cato and
Aristides; but it was harmful to them
both. and is seldom beneficial to any
man whilst he lives.-Abraham Cow
ley.
