Secretary Bryan's letter ol Resignation;
President Wilson's Letter ol Acceptance
Secretary Bryan's letter of resignation was ns follows:
"My Hear Mr. President:
"It is with sincere regret that I have reached the conclusion that I
should return to yen the commission of secretary of'state with which you
honored nie at the beginning or your administration.
"Obedient to your sense of duty and actuated hy the highest motives
you have prepared for transmission to the (iernian government a note tn
which I cannot join without violating what I ill i to he an obligation to
iny country and the Issue Involved is of such moment that to remain a
lnemher of the cabinet would he as unfair to yon as it would he to tho
cause which is nearest my heart, namely, the prevention of war.
"1 therefore, respectfully tender my resignation, to take effect when
the note is sent, unless you prefer an tarlicr hour. Alike desirous of
reaching a peaceful solution of tlx- problems arising out of the use of nub
marines again, t merchantmen, we lind ourselves differing irreconciliiibly
as to the methods which should be employed.
"It falls lo your lot lo speak ollicially for the mriion: I consider it lo
be none the less my duty lo 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 covering the intimate and pleasant relations which have existed
between us during the prist two years, permit nie to acknowledge the pro
found satisfaction which it has given me to be associated with you In the
important work which has come before the state department, and to
thank you for tins courtesies extended.
"With the heartiest good wishes for your personal welfare and for
the success of your administration, I am, my dear Mr. President, very
truly yours, (Signed) "W. J. BRYAN."
PRESIDENT WILSON ACCEPTS THE RESIGNATION.
The President's letter to Mr. Bryan was as follows:
"My Dear Mr. Bryan:
"1 accept your resignation only because you lnsint upon 'Its ncccpt
ance; and 1 accept it with much more than deep regret, with a feeling of
personal sorrow. Our two years of close association have, been very de
lightful 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 administration has been generous and loyal beyond
praise; your devotion to the duties of your great oflice and your eager
ness to take advantage of every great opportunity for service It offered
has been an example to the rest of us; you have earned our affectionate
admiration and friendship. Lven now we are not separated In the object
we seek, but only in the method by which we seek it.
"It Is for these reasons my feeling about your retirement from the,
secretaryship of state goes so much deeper than regret. 1 Blncerely de
plore it. Our objects are the same and we ought to pursue them to
gether. 1 yield to your desire only because. 1 must and wish to bid yon
Godspeed In the parting. We shall continue to work for tho same causes
even when we do not work in the same way.
"With affectionate regard. Sincerely yours,
"WOODKOW WILSON."

'retires and of
London, June !). I'roin t'oporet
ta lo the head of the Culf or
Trieste, the forces of Italy are
consolidating their position along
the river lsonzo, and in a week,
or perhaps sooner, the first seri
ous battle along this front should
be fought. Tiie engagements up
to the present time have been of
a preliminary character, but now
with the Italians not only com
manding the river crossing from
the western hank, hut at several
other points, they have thrown
troops to the eastern bank of the
lsonzo. A conflict of first rate
practical importance, in the opin
ion of British observers, is in
evitable. The Russians are fighting des
perately to withstand the Austro
Cermau advance in the direction
of Lemberg. While some sect ions
ofthe British press maintain that
the Teutonic rush has lost its im
petus, the general feeling is that
unless the Russians succeed in de
veloping a counter offensive on a
colossal stale the entire Calatian
situation will remain unfavorable
to the Russian arms and. more
than likely, involve the abandon
ment of 1-eniberg.
In the western theatre the plow
but steady French Bains dominate
the situation.
The news or the resignation of
Secretary Bryan was received too
late ior editorial cnmiiient In the
morning newspapers of London,
but the first editions or the after
noon journals present the news
most prominently.

re-
Washlngton, June it. Just as the
new American note to Germany was
started on its way over the telegraph
wires, Mr. Bryan at his horn gave
out this statement: J- ,
"My reason for-Hie1knlnlVciearij
stated In my letter of resignation,
namely, that I may employ as a private
citizen the means which the president
does not feel at liberty to employ. I
honor him for doing what he believes
to be right, and I am sure that he de
aires, as I do, to find a peaceful sola
tion of the problem which has been
created by the action of the suliinai
ines.
"Two of the points on which we
differ, each consi ientlous in convie
tloti, are; First, as to the suggestion
of investigation by an international
commission, and, second, as to warning
Americans ugainst traveling on belli
gerent vessels or with cargoes of am
munition. I believe that this nation
should frankly stale to Germany that
we are willing to apply In this ease
the principle which we are Jiound by
treaty to apply to disputes between
the United Slates and the thirty coun
tries with which we have made treat
les providing for investigation of all
disputes of every character und na
ture. These treaties, negotiated under
this administration, make war practi
cally Impossible between this country
and these thirty governments, repre
senting nearly three fourths of all the
people of the world.
As To Treaties.
"Among the nations with which we
have these treaties, are Oreat Britain.
France and Russia No matter what
disputes may aiise between us and
these treaty nations, We ?rw that
there shall be no declaration and no
commencement of hostilities until the
matters in dispute have been Investi
gated by an International commission,
and a year's time Is allowed for In
vestigation and report. This plan was
offered to all tin- nations without any
exceptions, whale er. and Ocrniuny
was one of the nations that accepted
the principle, being the twelfth, I
think, to accept N treaty was act
ually entered Into with Germany, but
I cannot see that that should stand In
the way when bo'h nations endorsed
the principle. I do not know whether
Germany would accept the offer, but
our country should, in my judgment,
make the offer.
Would Relieve Tension.
"Such an offer, ir accepted, would
at once relieve the tension and sll
ence all the Jingoes who are demand
ing war. Germany has always been a
friendly nation and a great many of
our people are German ancestry.
Why should we not deal with Germany
according to this plan to which lhe na
tion has pledged its support?
Second Point of Difference.
"The second point ol difference Is
as to the course which should bo pur
sued In regard to Americans traveling
on .belligerent ships or with cargoes
of ammunition.
"Why should an American citizen he

themselves. Political feeling will run
high In America during the next few
days, lint the l.-sues are clear enough,
aliho German agents will certainly at
tempt to confuse the public mind."
French Newspaper Comment.
Paris. June It The news of the
resignation of Secretary Bryan reach
ed Paris too late Inst night for com
ment hy the morning papers, but In
clven great prominent' In the even
ing editions which publish detailed
sketches of his career.
The Midi refers to the retiring
Secretary as a "paclfh-lut at any price"
and says his resignation should be re
garded as a direct warning to Ger
many." "President Wilson," this paper con
tinues, "lias developed a degree of
firmness of which he was not believ
ed capable. Happen what may, tho
situation Is becoming clearer. Iet us
hope that Berlin will upproclatt) its
grave conHeipiences."
