sRYAN's LETTER TO PRESIDENT
Resignins Cabinet Position and Reply
Made by Wilson.

Washington. June o Secretary
Bryan's letter of resignation to Pres
ident Wilson was as follows:
Ny Dear Mr. President: 1t is with
sincere regret that 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 it would be to the cause which is
nearest my heart, namely, the proven
ton of war.
therefore respectfully tender my
resignation, to take effect when the
note is sent, unless you prefer an
earlier hour. Alike DESTROYS 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 endeayor 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 1t 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, | am, my
dear Mr.. President. very truly yours,
w. J, BRYAN. .

Presidents Letter to Secretary Bryan.
! The Presidents letter to Mr.. Bryan
was as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Bryan: l accept your
| resignation only because you insist
upon its acceptance; and | 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-
ton 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 it.
1t is for these reasons my feeling
about your retirement from the secre-
taryship of state goes so much deeper
than regret | sincerely deplore it.
Our objects are the same and we ought
to pursue them together | yield to
your desire only because I must and
wish to bid you God speed in the part
ing We shall continue to work for
work in the same way. With affec-
tionate regard, sincerely yours.

MUNICIPAn BAT ROOsTs.

San Antonio, Texas. boasts of a
novel remedy for mosquitoes. Instead
of fighting the pests in the usual way.
by draining marshes and getting rid
of all ~stagnant water, or spraying the
breeding spots with oil. San Antonio
followed the suggestion of DR.. C. A.
Campbell and built a municipal bat
roost.
The theory was that, since bats eat
mosquitoes, if you encourage the null
tipIication of bat colonies the problem
will solve itself. DR.. Campbell has
spent many years studying bat habits
and experimenting with the best type
Of artificial habitation for them. When
he put his conclusions into practice
by building a system of roosts in the
vicinity Of the city, the bats flocked
to them in vast numbers. Accom-
modations were provided for $50. GOO
of them. No census of the municipal
bat population has yet been taken, but
the roOsts are pretty well filled. And
as a result. it is reported that in San
Antonio and the country round about
there are fewer mosquitoes than for
many years, particularly malarial
mosquitoes, for which the creatures
seem TO have a special fondness. Sur
'geon General Gorgas, who eliminated
fever Mosquitoes from the Canal zone.
is said TO have investigated the bat
iroost and expressed approval of it.
Each bat, says DIR. Campbell, will
eat about $50 mosquitoes a night.
From that it will readily be seen that
$50, 600 municipal bats would soon
work havoc with any mosquito popu-
latiOn.

PLENTY OF FOOD.

Nature seems to have played a
good-natured joke on the human race,
if the latest wheat estimates are to be
credited.
Last year it was taken for granted
that there would be scarcity of wheat
this Everybody figured that
with so much Of the wheat growing
region of Europe ravaged by war, the
output would be greatly diminished.
And it probably is owing to that very
belief that the result has proved 9th
erwise. Every nation sowed a larger
acreage and took more pains with it.
And so. to everybody's surprise, there
is promised the greatest wheat crop
ever raised in the world.
AccoD1ing to London estimates. only
one country France, has less wheat
than it had last year. And even that is
not a real falling off; a large section
of French wheat land is in Germany's
possession and so not credited to
France. Two countries, Argentine and
Austria, are expected TO equal last
years production. All the rest sur
pass it, with the United States and
Russia. the greatest wheat producers,
showing gains respectively of about
70, 900, 900 and 10, o 900 bushels
over last year.
The worlds total wheat crop is es-
timated at 51S,5 OO 900 quarters Ga
quarter is bushels), against 456, $780,
600 in 1914. That represents a gain
for the world of nearly 500. 900, 600
bushels. There'n be enough for every
body to eat-if it's properly distrib-
uted.

FoURTH IN FOREIGN SLIPPING

1t is pleasant TO learn that the
American flag really is making its
way on the seas again. oar shipping
engaged in the foreign trade, which
last year totalled only 1,076,000 tons,
rose in the year ending June 30, to l.
$4,000 tons. That was a greater for
eign onnage than we have had since
the civil war started u shipping de-
cline. The gain is three times as much
as we ever made before in one year.
It has raised oru standing. since this
war began, from the tenth position
among maritime nations TO the fourth.
Only Great Britain, France n Nor
way now p us in carrying power
of foreign trading vessels.
Unfortunately, however. this growth
is restricted almost entirely 10 the Eu-
ropean traffic. The increase in h
number of transatlantic ships of
American registry would be more sat
isfactory if it were matched by a pro-
portionaI increase in the Pacific and
in the trade routes Of the southern
hemisphere.
We are losing instead Of gaining in
the Asiatic routes. 1t is feared. too.
that the present rate Of growth will
prove merely temporary. Our ship
ping has Of course been unnaturally
stimulated by war conditions, which
have multiplied freight rates in h
European trade. Great numbers of
ships have changed to American regis
try for the sake of the profit in r
rying war supplies and the greater
safety they enjoy under u flag.
When the war ends, this stimulus
will fail US. Moreover. Germany, re-
gaining access to the seas, Will resume
her place ahead of us in tonnage. And,
then, unless something effective is
done in the meantime for additional
protection of our shipping, putting the
burdens Of American vessel owners
more nearly on a par with those of
foreign nations, we may see our ship
ping hopes fade again.
