BRYAN RESIGNS RATHER
THAN BECOME A PARTY
TO WAR WITH GERMANY

Originally it was the Intention of
the President and Mr.. Bryan to have
the announcement of the resignation
made simultaneously with~-the dis
patch q the note to Germany. but
When tMr. Bryan did not attend the
Cabinet meeting today until Presi-
dent Wilson sent for him, rumors
that the President had been unable
to bring the Secretary of State to his
point of view filed the air. Finally,
shortly before o'clock the news
leaked out and was confirmed.

and others unwilling to keep up
protracted fight when the Senate was
willing to surrender everything but
the site and they finally abandoned
the contest, they knew that there
was formidable movement in the
House to pass a resolution directing
the conference to yield on the site,
and they did not care to take the
risk of test vote.
Complete collapse of the opposition
followed the announcement that Rep
rcsentative Favrot had released the
friends who were tied up with him
for Baton Rouge.

St. Tammany Parish Baseball League
Organize and Schedule Some Games

The organization of the st. Tam
many Baseball League marks new
era in baseball here. 1t has been
the habit of local teams to strengthen
themselves by hiring high grade anna
teurs and semi-professionals from
New Orleans. This has tended to
weaken local pride and handicap the
development Of home players. 1t is
hoped that the organization OF the
league, by opening opportunities for
home boys to get positions on the
teams, will awaken greater inter-
est in the game, bring larger crowds
to witness them and create a friendly
rivalry that will stimulate pride in
the accomplishments of local players
and perhaps develop players that will
attract statewide attention. We
have young men growing up that
offer the material for this develop
ment.
