Presidents Letter to Secretary Bryan.

Presidents Letter to Secretary Bryan.
The Presidents letter to Mr.. Bryan
was as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Bryan: / accept your
resignation only because you insist
upon its acceptance; and l regret 1t
with much more deep regret, with a
feeling of personal sorrow. Our two
years of close association 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 purposes of the administra-
tion have been generous and loyal be-
yond praise. your devotion to the du-
ties of your great office and your
eagerness to take advantage of every
great opportunity for service it of
fered has been an example to the rest
of us; you have earned our affection
ate admiration and friendship. Even
now we are not separated in the OBJ
ject We seek. but only in the method
by which we seek 1t.
1t is for these reasons my feeling
about your retirement from the secre-
taryship of state goes so much deeper
| Our objects are the same and we ought
to pursue them together. / yield to
your desire only because / must and
wish to bid you God speed in the part
ing. We shall continue to work for
the same causes even when we do not
work in the same way. With affec-
tionate regard. sincerely yours.

Lusitania note. Acting Secretary
Robert Lansing will sign the. doeu-
ment and it will be cabled to Berlin.
Secretary Bryan's resignation takes
effect today. Mr.. Lansing, counselor
of the State Department, automatic
ally becomes acting secretary of state.
Secretary Bryan will return to pri-
vate life. 1t was learned that he in
tends to continue his political support
of the President
Rather than sign the document
which, he believed, might possibly
draw the United States into war, Mr..
Bryan submitted his resignation in a
letter declaring that the issue in
volved is of such moment that to re-
main member of the Cabinet would
be as unfair to you as it would be to
the cause which is nearest my heart
namely, the prevention of war"
The President accepted the resigna'
ton in letter of regret tinged with
deep personal affection. The letters
constituting the official announce.
ment of Mr.. Bryan's departure from
the Cabinet to private life were made
public at the White House.
In Austro-German quarters, where
there has been some confidence that
Secretary Bryan's influence for peace
would make impossible a rupture
the resignation of the secretary caused
much uneasiness.

Res'gning Cabinet Position and Reply
Made by Wilson.
Washington, June o. Secretary
Bryans letter of resignation to Pres
ident Wilson was as follows:
My Dear Mr.. President: 1t is with
sincere regret that l have reached the
conclusion that l should return to you
the commission of secretary of state,
with which you honored me at the be-
ginning of your administration.
Obedience to your sense of duty and
actuated by the highest motives, you
have prepared for transmission to the
German government 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 a member of
the cabinet would be as unfair to you
as 1t would be to the cause which is
nearest my heart, namely, the preven-
tion of war.
| therefore respectfully tender my
resignation, to take effect when the
note is sent, unless you prefer an
earlier hour. Alike desirous of reach
ing peaceful solution of the problems
arising out of the use of submarines
against merchantmen, we find our
selves differing irreconcilably as to
the methods which should be en-
ployed.
1t falls to your lot to speak officially
for the nation; l 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 courtesies extended.
With the heartiest good wishes for
your personal welfare and for the sue
cess of your administration, l am, my
dear Mr. President, very truly yours,
w. ]. BRYAN.
