WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
QUITS WILSON CABINET j
(CONTINUED- ON PAGE 2.) j
pfconea an invitation, the secretary
Irurried to the White House, his face
somewhat drawn and pale.
ParPiv^ll III HfhPon.
W2en the cabinet adjourned short-'
ly after 1 o'c-iock, Mr. Bryan enter- i
tained seven of his colleagues, all who j
could attend, at Luncheon at the Uni-1
versity club. The luncheon was in |
the nature of a farewell.
That there had been friction be- j
tween toe president and Mr. Bryan j
"has hpen thft undercurrent of com-j
ment for several weeks, but as tie
president heretofore had always been
able to secure the acquiescence of the
secretary in his point of view, talk of j
resignation was discounted generally. '
It came to light today that the posi-i
tion of Mr. Bryan in the cabinet recently
has become verV embarrassing
?his advocacy of peace being so pro-!
nounced that other members of the
cabinet who felt that tine United
States should assert its policy, irre-?~
~~ r\ /innronnon/'O were 1
V c *J i LilC wiiocyuvuvv, v :
understood to have on one occasion j
declared their intention of resigning
if a policy of firmness and vigor were
not adopted.
The real disagreement dates back |
to the famous session of the cabinet!
when tee note of May 13, following i
the sinking of the Lusiiania, was
drafted informing Germany that the
United States would not omit "any
"word or act" to protect its rights.
Stood for Caution.
At tfaat time Mr. Bryan made a
speech counseling peaceful measures
and cautious action. He gave his consent
to signing the note only after it
"was tentatively arranged that a statement
should be issued at the White I
House and transmitted to the German
government announcing 'that inasmuch
as Germany had accepted the:
principle of the peace treaties nego
iiated between the United States and
other countries, differences between
the two nations miglat be adjusted by
a commission of investigation. Opposition
to this course was most vehement
in some cabinet quarters, and
the president, after having considered
at length 'Mr. Bryan's suggestion,
finally disapproved it at the hour the
note was sent Some cabinet officers
argued that such an appendix to the
note of May 13 would be construed
abroad as a weaKenmg ot we American
position, and their counsel prevailed.
Since tfien fhe official relations
of Mr. Bryan with the president
and the other cabinet officers have
been somewhat strained, although the
closest personal friendship has been
/ maintained.
Officials of toe administration were j
unanimous tonight in their expression
of personal regret. Secretary Tumulty
issued a statement to that effect, and
the president reflected ttoe same sen
timent in his letter. Admiration and
praise for the courageous manner in
which Mr. Bryan, had fought for and
held to his convictions were expressed
by officials on every side, including
those who had been most vigorous in
t&eir opposition to his policies.
Doesn't Spofl Friendship.
The strong personal attachment of
the president and Mr. Bryan has long j
'been noticeable in their every day j
conferences. Even today as they met j
in the cabinet room their greeting was j
one of affection and regard.
It became known only tonight that ]
twice before in the two years and!
three months of his term, Mr. Bryan
had offered to Tesign so as to save tih-e
president from embarrassment, and
each time tfae president refused to accept
the resignation. Throughout the
constant newspaper bombardment of j
Mr. Bryan for his views on peace, *his j
advocacy of prohibition and hisj
speecnes 011 tne Chautauqua, the president
has stood by the secretary, resenting
criticism of frim. In domestic
affairs the two men who were at the
helm of the Democratic party in its
first ascendency into power in 16 years
cooperated most harmoniously. Often
Mr. Bryan yielded some of his own
Yie"ws, as on the currency hill, and
-used his influence to assist the president's
programme in congress. It was
not surprising, therefore, to officials
and friends of the president and Mr.
Bryan to learn tonight that the latter
*? *U.T _ x
wu uuuru uiiuctuiittfu J-U. iliS support
of Ube president politically, although
he could not remain in the cabinet
and give him official help on a matter
of principle which. affected his entire
philosophy of life.
Already Out.
Secretary Bryan virtually has considered
himself as out of the administration
all day. Denying himself to
newspaper men twice during the day
at his usual time for receiving them,
t)ae secretary thereby aroused suspicion
that something unusual had occurred.
After lunching "with other
members of the cabinet, he returned
to his office, accompanied by Secretary
Daniels, "wfao remained , for a
few minutes. Later Secretary Daniels
steadfastly refrained from discussing
what had occurred at tie cabinet
meeting.
Secretary Bryan was at the state
department until 5:30 o'clock and during
the afternoon saw Mr. Da Gama,
the Brazilian ambassador. A few minutes
before leaving tJ.:e secretary
rirnnnprt into thp nffiop of Counselor
Lansing for a brief chat with the man
who will take up his portfolio tomorrow.
"There is nothing to be said," Mr.
Bryan remarked to a group of newspaper
men as he left Counselor Lansing's
office. T^at was a few minutes
before it had been learned unofficially
that the resignation had been sub
mitted and accepted.
"There is much speculation
abroad," some one suggested to tfte
secretary.
"Well," Mr. Bryan responded, with
a smile, "you know there is a law
against speculation in futures. You
gentlemen want to be very careful
about speculation in futures, you
know."
Seems Jovial Enough,
Then he joined 'Mrs. Bryan, Tvho
awaited him in an automobile. They
rode for half an foour, returning to
their home about 6 o'clock. Mr.
Bryan had just prepared to go out for
dinner when a reporter for the Associated
Press reached bis house. The
secretary was attired in evening
clothes and appeared in a jovial mood.
"Mr. Secretary, we are informed
that you have resigned."
"Where did you get that information?"
he asked' sharply. "I would
like to be thoroughly informed about
such an occurrence before I discuss
it."
When assured that his resignation
had been announced from the White
House Mr. Bryan at once verified the
news and asked if an interchange oi
o Lrrrt VYrrtrn tut? ^ICMUCUL cliiu uimself
had "been made public. This, &
learned, had" been done.
"The letters," said Mr. Bryan, "state
the reasons for my resignation, showing
that it was precipitated by difference
of opinion as to what course
should be taken witTm regard to the

I will have a more complete statement
that will be given out as soon as tin
note is sent, which probably will be
tomorrow.
Will Say More.
"I would like to say more but car
not do it at this time. It would nol
be appropriate lor me to make public
by statement regarding the situation
until the note has been forwarded
to the German government. There
is no possibility of that being done
tonight because the note faas to be
enciphered and prepared for the
cable. I think that it will be readj
for the wire early tomorrow."
"TVIhat are your plans for the future?"
'Well," Mr. Bryan began, just as
Mrs. Bryan appeared at the door tc
remind him that he must hasten.
"We have only 12 minutes," said
Mrs. Bryan.
it 4 1-1 -J?l-A T "T1 T A J.1 *
Aii ngui, x win ue rigi-it mere,
tne secretary answered. Turning
again to the reporter, he continued:
"We will remain in Washington
I for a while. Just where we will gc
j or what we will do, I can not say a1
ttis time. Our plans, necessarily, arc
'not matured."
By this time the secretary was
walking towards the automobile tc
join Mrs. Bryan. They had started
to leave the grounds when SecTetarj
Daniels, driving by, Ibailed them. Mr
Bryan and Mr. Daniels talked for a
{fw minutes before the Bryans hastened
on to keep their engagement.
Event? during the day about the
state department seemed to foreshadow
a sensational climay Tbe situation
from early morning until late
at night was a strained one. "When
Secretary Bryan reached his office
earlj* in the morning, he wore a troubled
look. This had worn off latei
in the day, particularly after the
luncheon with other cabinet mem
bers. These who saw the secretary
early in the day attributed his manincr
to the gravity,of the situation re!
lating to t'lie German negotiations and
little curiosity was aroused until 11
o'clock, the hour for the cabinet
meeting, had passed.
.Usually on cabinet days, the secretary
does not give audience to newspaper
men, but meets them in the
corridor a few minutes before the
hour and asks them to walk with Ihlm
over to the White House. This morning
more than 30 newspaper men
were waiting outside tf:e secretary's
door. It was five minutes after the
cabinet hour and "Mr. Bryan did not
appear. The reporters looked inquiringly
at each other and wondered
about the del^y.
"Isn't he going to the cabinet meeting?"
tihey asked. "Do you suppose
he's resigned?"
Ten minutes later word was sent in
asking tlie secretary if he would see
the newspaper men. Mr. Bryan directed
a reply that he "was detained
from the cabinet by important busi
ness.
"Wlien he appeared at last, Just be
| fore noon, brisk and smiling, be |
greeted the anxious group with: "
"Well, will you walk with me?"
Every man of them followed, direct- ,
ing rapid fire questions. Jj
"I had important business whic'i
detained me," Mr. Bryan answered to
all, and no more information came
from him :until after the formal an-!(j

SAVED
THE TOWN.
;
' The Fisherman Lied, Stuck to Hi#
Story and Got a Surprise.
More than two centuries ago, when
" an allied English and Dutch fleet.
under Admiral Russell, approached
; L^s Sables d'Olonne, 011 th^ bay of
, Biscay, ,to bombard it, a difficulty
arose. The conformation of the shore (
, partly concealed the settlement behind
a ridge, and they did not know
how to train their guns. But they
had captured a fishing smack in the I
; bay, and Admiral Russell summoned
the fisherman, Daniel Fricaud, and or- *
! dered him to tell exactly how the
( town la&* and where to aim in order to ^
? destroy its principal buildings. Fri-i
c-aud, who appeared to be a poor, ig*
! norant fellow, very much frightened,
pointed to a pier with a group of old, <
i rickety buildings. The admiral was
? doubtful, but the trembling fisherman
[ assured him that just beyond and al,
most exactly in range was the market square,
the very heart of the town.
"Do you understand" asked the adi
\
L miral sternly, "that if you are telling
me a lie I shall soon find it out and
have you hanged from the yardarm <]
; of my ship?" 1
"I know," answered the fisherman, q
"and if I have lied you must hang me.
I can only tell you?it is there that you
! should aim your guns." (

s venture a deception, Admiral Russell
ordered the bombardment to begin. A
> little while after shells had begun to
k fall behind the screening ridge and
shabby wharf, and great columns of
smoke arose, which rapidly increased
in volume. It seemed that half the
place must be on fire. Only when he ^
thought its destruction nearly enough
! accomplished did the fleet withdrawfirst
releasing Fricaud and his fishing ?
boat. c
The fisherman, amazed and anxious, i
hastened to the town to iear? what 11

knew well that in the quarter that t
i had been shelled there were only a
few worthless sheds and storehouses.
That was why, at the risk of his *
neck, he had pointed it out. Never t
for a moment had he thought of aid- c
ing the enemy to destroy his native ]
place, and he had fully expected to a
pay the penalty. What could the ^
smoke be?
It proved that the inhabitants had
practiced a clever ruse. Seeing that f
the shells were falling exactly where c
they did the least harm, they had -j

He took Mayr's "Wonderful Remedy

"For years I have suffered from a

termed it catarrh of the stomadh, saying
the only hope would be a change
