time as secretary of state, declaring

were piled high on the secretary S
desk and he said he had received a
number of kilograms. No members
of the diplomatic corps called formal
ly to say farewell to Bryan and there
were few visitors In the office during
the morning.
Mr. Bryan seemed depressed and
weighted down by sadness as he bade
the newspapermen goodbye. His
voice was subdued His face was
gray and deeply lined and he was
dressed almost in funeral garb.

tary with half a smile. II will talk

nearby newspapermen in a friendly
fashion and walked with them from
the corridor into his office
