Dear Sir: A few days ago | received
communication concerning the mar
riage of Miss Clara Haugen and Mr.
Herman n. Halverson. According to
the communication the knowledge of
the wedding is just beginning to get
around and some of their friends are
wondering what kind of a joke is
being put over on them. To quell all
fears, and-seeing this is leap year
to save those maidens who may be in
terested from spending their time and
energy in vieing for the heart of one
whose heart is no longer his own, |
submit to you for publication the fol-
lowing brief notice of the wedding
which | would ordinarily have sent
the week the ceremony took place, had
not been requested to keep it quiet
for a month, and so fine was the i'm
preston made upon me by the young
folks that have kept it quiet to this
day.

 pressed to him opposition to the

 the day Builitt resigned from the
 American mission because he was
 not in sympathy with the treaty

 MT. Lansing was on a vacation at Watertown, N. Y, at the time Bullitt testified and when shown the testi- mony there, he declined to comment
 Friction Continued After Return
 AIr. Lansing finally returned from Paris before the work of the Amerl : can peace delegation was concluded. being succeeded by Frank l.. Polk, un : der secretary of state. The friction between himself and MT. Wilson con tinued after he came back to Wash ington.
 During the presidents illness. the main issue again came to the front with the Kidnapping and subsequent ar rest of American Consular Agent Jen- l1ins in Mexico. After the Jenkins case had been discussed at cabinet meetings presided over by Mir. Lansing, the state despa rtrnent sent a note to Carranza bluatly warning him that further ''moiestation" of Jenkins would seriously affect the relations between the United States and Mexico. for which the government Of Mexico must assume sole responsibility.
 President Wilson was advised of a situation which apparently had grown acute and he was said al the time to have personally taken charge of the matter. The Mexican government de- layed it's reply for some time and sub sequenfly Jenkins was released on bail furnished by J. Salter Hansen. without the consular agents knowledge. The Jenkins case, still pending in the Mexican courts, having been transferred from the Puebla state court to the federal supreme court, which the state department had cmtended was the only tribunal which had Jurisdiction in the case No further action has been taken by the American government so far as has been announced.
 While a few membel of the cabinet have conferred with A1r. Wilson since he was taken i'll. B said tonight that MT. Lansing had not seen him and that whatever business he had had with the president had been car ried on daily by correspondence.
 Before the president left on his vest ern trip. however, Mir. Lansing. after

 T have the honor, therefore. to ten der you my resignation as secretary of state, to take effect at your convent ence.
 Meant to Resign Long Ago
 'In thus severing our official asso citations, I feel, MT. President, that I should make the following statement which I had prepared recently and which will show you that l have not been unmindful that the continuance Of four present relations was impos- sible and that I realized that it was clearly my duty to bring them to an end at the earliest moment. compati- ble with the public interest
 Ever since January, 1919. I have been conscious of the fact that you no longer were. disposed to welcome my advice in matters pertaining to the negotiations in Paris. to our foreign service. or to intern ationaI affairs in general Holding these views, I would if I had consulted my personal in clination alone, have resigned sec retary of state and as commissioners to negotiate peace. felt, however, that such q step might have been mis- interpreted both at home and abroad and that it was my duty to cause you no embarrassment in carrying for ward the great task in which you were then engaged. Possibly I erred in this. but if I did, it was with the best mo- tives.
 Loyalty Held Him to Post
 When l returned to Washington in the latter part of July. 1913. my per sonal wish to resign had not changed but again felt that loyalty to you and my duty to the administration compelled me to defer action as my resignation might have been miscon- strued into hostility to the ra atification of the treaty of peace or at least into disapprovaI of your views a to the form of ratification. I therefore re- nained silent, avoiding any comment on the frequent reports that we were not in full agreement. Subsequently your serious illness. during which have never seen you, imposed upon me the duty-at least I construed it to be my duty-to remain in charge of the department of state until your health permitted You to assume again full direction Of foreign affairs.
