WILSON BIDS FAREWELL
TO HIS FORMER PREMIER
CONTINUED from First Page.)

asked Mr.. Bryan II he would not pre-
pare for him several memoranda upon
pending South American questions be-
fore leaving Washington.
Mr.. Bryan promised to do SO. This
request Of the President and pledge
of Mr.. Bryan was cited by Mr.. Tumulty
AS indicating that the friendly rela-
tons between President Wilson and
Mr.. Bryan had not been in the least
affected by the severance of official
relations.
In the statement which Mr. Bryan
issued later in the day, explaining the
differences between him and the Presi-
dent which led to his resignation, he
made both at the beginning and the
end of 1t friendly and complimentary
illusions to the President.
But despite Mr.. Bryan's assurances
and despite Mr.. Tumulty's accurate de-
scription OF the affectionate parting be-
tween the two men-the sincerity of
which on the part OF both few ques-
tion-the prediction is being generally
made in Washington tonight by men
of all shades of political opinion that
within few months President Wilson
and Mr.. Bryan in all likelihood will
be opposing each other politically.
The general view is that such must
be the inevitable result of carrying out
the program Mr.. Bryan has laid out for
himself.
DIFFERENCES MORE RADICAL
THAN WAS SUPPOSED
Mr.. Bryan's statement of the reasons
FOR his resignation showed that the
differences between him and the Presi-
dent over the policy which the Presi-
dent intends to pursue, with respect to
the issues between Germany and the
United States, are more radical than
had been supposed.
The differences between them are
not merely matter OF degree, they
are fundamental.
1t has been stated that Mr.. Bryan
disagreed with the President over the
lengths TO which he should go in COM
planning of Germany's submarine war
fare, and that Mr.. Bryan also favored
the sending of a further protest to
Great Britain at the same time the
new note TO Germany was sent
In his statement made to-day, Mr.
Bryan does not refer to his advocacy
Of further protest to Great Britain.
Doubtless, he did not do so because
as the President has not yet sanctioned
the sending of such note, Mr. Bryan
probably felt a reference to the fact
that he had written such n note and
urged the sending of it might be taken
rs violation of the State Department
confidence.
But there is no question that new
note TO Great Britain has been framed
and there is the highest authority for
the statement that 1t has now been
decided to forward it, although the
time is not disclosed.
The two contentious of Mr.. Bryan in
which the President and he could not
agree were. in brief
First. That the Lusitania case should
be investigated by an Internal ional
commission.
Second. ACCESSIBILITY OF warning to
all Americans not to travel on bellig-
erent vessels or with cargoes of am
munition.
The fact that Mr.. Bryan insisted on
arbitrating the Lusitania case was in
the nature of a surprise. Few had
thought he had gone that far.
His second proposal Is but another
way of stating that he thought the
President ought not to demand OF Ger
many the absolute cessation of sub
marine warfare against merchant
vessels.
