The resignation OF Secretary of state
Bryan Yesterday brought the event
which has been predicted almost daily
since he took office under President Will
son on March >. 1915. Though in the case
of most of these predictions, the wish
was father to the thought it is equally
true that the resignation of no Cabinet
officer was ever so generally desired,
both within and without his own politl-
cal party. nor received with such wide
spread satisfaction and relief as that OF
Nj. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan has been criticised and as
sailed as has been no other member OF
the Cabinet in many years. His motives
have been impuGned and his official acts
and uttcranccs attacked with the utmost
severity known TO American political
methods He has been called a buffoon
and a traitor. according to the point of
View. but undoubtedly the most accurate
designation for him as Secretary of State
was that of misfit.
WINS Unhappy in Office.
There is no doubt but that with Mr.
Bryan's departure from his Office late
Yesterday afternoon there terminated the
most unhappy period of his whole career.

His subordinates have complained that
it was next to impossible to get con-
they had to present.
Experienced officials have often told
their friends that never was the State
Department in such a state of demorali-
cation as to the conduct of all its bust
ness as in the last two years.
Assailed Correspondents.
One of the most unfortunate fea-
lures of Mr.. Bryan's administration of
the State Department was his total in
ability to get along with the news
paper correspondents. Recently a mem
Der of the Cabinet declared that the
imperative need of the administration
in the face of existing national crises
was a better understanding between
the representatives Of the press and
the State Department. His misunder-
standings with the correspondents.
first regarded as having a harmful eff
feet on the political fortunes of the ad-
ministration, came to be regarded as a
menace to the real interests of the
United States.
Mr. Bryan wholly lacked the feeling
of all his predecessors, that the Wash
ington correspondents represented a
power which was to be used and
guided. He refused to take the corre-
spondents into his confidence in the
slightest degree, preferring to let them
stumble about in blind speculation
rather than impart to them informally
an understanding of the intentions and
policies of the administration. He felt
that the newspapers should pnblish re-
garding foreign relations only such an
nouncements as he made officially;
that comment, prediction, and specula-
ton should be barred. Oftentimes he
made such egregious misstatements as
to lead his subordinates privately to
ask the correspondents not to publish
them.
Mr. Bryan felt always that the body
of the press was antagonistic to him.
He revealed how personal was his own
attitude toward them by declaring once
that those newspapers which supported
him in the campaigns. would support
him in the State Department, while
those which opposed him in years past
would continue sntagonistic. The at
tempts Of the newspaper men to render
unofficial aid to the government and
to Mr.. Bryan personally by publishing
such presentations of issues as hf be-
lieved would be most helpful were in
variably rebuffed.
Oftentimes Mr.. Bryan lost his tenn

RESIGNATION ENDS
UNHAPPY TENURE
Critics Considered Bryan Incompetent Been Under
Fire Since Taking Office Associates Could Not Give
His Ideas Their Support

at moments was Mr.. Bryan able to feel
any satisfaction in the great office for
which he had such high aspirations. He
regarded his position in the Presidents
Cabinet as the opportunity of his life to
render a great service to the American
people, but. just as the general public
has been extremely dissatisfied with him
as Secretary of State, so was Mr.. Bryan
keenly unhappy in his occupancy Of that
office.
His critics have felt him to be totally
incompetent, and, therefore, unfit to hold
the chief place in the Cabinet, while Mr..
Bryan himself was continually disap-
pointed at the meager responses he was
able to secure to his views and policies.
With Mr.. Bryan's resignation there was
removed from the State Department the
only official who held his views on the
principal issues of foreign relations and
the methods by which they should be
conducted. 1t is a fact beyond question
that no one Of Mr.. Bryan's associates in
the administration OF the State Depart
ment was able to give him that whole
hearted support of thought and action
necessary for a harmonious administra-
ton, With the single exception of the
