Administration officials were well
pleased with the further blanket en-

President on all matters Of domestic
policy during the rest of his term.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the men who are mostly deeply inter-

future have been very anxious lest
the pro-Wilson newspapers bitter at

bring a broadside against the Presi-

P|QUE, NOT NOTE,
EVIDENTLY BACK
Of BRYAN 5 MOVE
Former Secretary May Have
Tired of Serving as a
"Figure-head"
WAR scare Offered
HIM chance TO QUIT
By The United Press.

II
WASHINGTON. June 12.-That
Secretary Of State Bryan's retirement
from President wilson's cabinet was
not due to a sudden fare-up, but the
elimination of long series of incl
dents was a belief which had many
supporters in official life today. The
reason the secretary gave for resign
ing is accepted without question, but
because of the circumstances sur
rounding it and the realization that,
for a long time, there had been evil
dences of friction, officials generally
inclined to believe that the psyche
logical moment" may have dovetailed
splendidly with his final stand for his
principles as the leading exponent OF
pacification in America.
Oficials and politicians who have
been watching the case closely de-
clared today that while relations be-
tween President Wilson and Secretary
BRYAN have been most friendly, Bryan
has been none too well-pleased with
the effort by the Presidents friends
to show that he was only a figure
head in his department. When the
first Lusitania note went TO Berlin all
the Wilson news sources In Washing
ton impressed on the newspaper rep
resentatives that all that Bryan had
10 do with it was to take up his pen
and "sign here" when the line was
indicated to him by his chief. 1t was
emphasized and re-emphasized that
the note was President Wilson's en-
tire handiwork except that Counsel
lor Lansing attended to the legal de-
tails.
It need no longer be a secret that
Secretary Bryan resented these sug-
gestions. Then, as up TO the final
break, he was advocating moderation.
He wanted the arbitration suggestion
included. He also wanted a short
note 10 Great Britain rushed through

United States had played no favorites

ture. now busted themselves with ex-
planning that, on this new note, the
President and his secretary of state
we're working together. This was
just as absurd as was the original
statement, the truth being that the
President prepared the original mem
oranda, from which the present note
was finally framed, and Bryan pre-
pared the counter suggestions which
he has since made public in his three
official statements.
Bryan played lone hand. He made
no effort TO influence any of the men,
bers of the cabinet to aid him, though
he had the active support of one
, member and the passive support OF
two others. When the decision finally
went against him, he quit and those
who know him best believe that he
