The cabinet then ap proved the responae which had been prepared to the German reply to the Lusitania note. Acting Secretary Robert Lansing will sign the docu ment and It will be cabled to Berlin. Secretary Bryan will return to prl- rsta life when his resignation takes effect. It was learned that he in tends to continue his political sup port of the president. Rather than sign the document which he believed might possibly draw the United States Into war, Mr. Bryan submitted His resignation In a letter declaring that "the issue in volved is of auch moment that to re- , main a member of the cabinet would tm as unfair to you as It would %e to the cause which la nearest my heart, the prevention of war." The president accepted the resig nation tn a letter of regret, tinged with deep personal feeling of affec tion. The letters constituting the of- flctsl announcement of Mr Bryan's departure from the cabinet to pri vate life, were made public at the White House at six o'clock Tueeday. They Yellow: Letter of Resignation. Secretary Bryan t letter of natioa was as follows: "My Dear Mr. President: with sincere regret that I have reach ed the coadusion that 1 should re- torn to yes the commission of secre <*ry of state w*th which you honored me at the beglnalng of your sdmlnls- to your tor for eat a note ia without vto lat- to bo aa obligation id Um leone iavolved that to remain a of the cabieet would be as to yea as it would be te the Is nearest my Heart, mmm, prevsetteu of war. “1. therefore, respectfully tender ■y resignation, to take effect when the note Is Boat, unloaa you prefer an earlier hour.

"With the heartiest good wishes for your personal welfare and for the success of yjiwr administration, I am, my dear Mr. President, "Very truly yours, (Signed) "W. J. Bryan." The president’s letter to Mr Bryan was as follows: President’s Acceptance. My Dear Mr. Bryan: I accept your resignation only because you In sist upon its acceptance; and I accept it with much more than deep regret, with a feeling of* personal sorrow. Our two years of otose association have be£n very delightful to me. Our Judgments have accorded In practi cally 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 devo- 1 latter continued undaunted tlon to the duties of yopr great office and your eagerness to take advantage of every great opportunity for ser- vlce it offered lias been an example to the rest of us; you have earned opr lonate admiration and friend- JSven now we are not separat ed In the object we seek, byt only In the method by which we seek it. . *Tt is for these reasons my feel- Ing about your retirement from the secretaryship of state goes so much deeper than regret.

We shall con tinue to work for the same causes even when we do not work In the same way. “With affectionate regard, sincere- If, yours, "Woodrow Wilson." Came aa Great Surprise. Dramatically the official relatlog Mr. Bryan with the administration whose nomination he ae- ao materially la bringing about at the Baltimore convention of 1112 came to an end. It caused a sensa- tlon in the national capital KArcalX. reasons for his failure to appear at * " the meeting wero given, but after the cabinet had been discussing the note an hour Mr. Bryan arrived, telling the newspaper men at the White House that he regretted being late. It was learned that with the knowl edge that his resignation, had already been accepted by the president, Mr. Bryan felt it would be indelicate to attend the session unless his presence was desired by the president. When Mr. Wilson telephoned an invitation the secretary hurried to the White Houso, his face somewhat drawn and pale. When the cabinet adjourned shortly after one o’clock, Mr. Bryan entertained seven of his colleagues, all who could attend,, at luncheon at the University Club. The luncheon was in the nature of a fare well. That there had been friction be tween tho president and Mr. Bryan has been the undercurrent of com- mejt for several weeks, but as the president, heretofore, had always been able to secure the acquiee^ence of the secretary In hla point of view, talk of resigqatton was discounted generally. It came to light that the position of Mr. Bryan in the cabinet recently baa become very embarrassing—his advocacy of peace being so pronounc ed that other members of the cabinet who felt that the United Mates should assert its policy, Irrespective of the consequences, were understood to have on one occasion declared their Intention of resigning if a policy of firmness and vigor were not adopted. When Dtocord Began. The real disagreement dates back to the famous session of the cabinet when the note of May 13. following the sinking of the Lusitania, was drafted. Informing Germany that the United States would not omit "any word or any act” to p otect its rights. At that time Mr Bryan made a speech counselling peaceful measures and cautiouajicUOQ. He gave his consent to signing the note only after It was tentatively ar ranged that a statement should be Issued at the White House and trans mitted to the German government announcing that, inasmuch as Ger many had accepted the principle of the peace treaties negotiated between the United States and other coun-. tries, differences between the two na tions might be adjusted by a com mission of Investigation. Opposition to this course was most vehement In soma cabinet quarters, and tbs presldsnt. after having con sidered at length Mr. Bryan'a sug gestion finally disapproved it at the hour the note was sent. Some cabi net officers nrged that auch an ap pendix to the note of May 13 would be construed abroad, aa a weakening of thd American position, and their counsel prevailed. Since then the 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. Hersonal llegreta. Officials of the administration were unanimous In their expressions, of personal regret. Secretary Tu multy issued a statement to that ef fect. and the president reflected the same sentiment In his letter. Ad miration and praise for the courage ous manner tn which Mr. Bryan had fought for and held to his convic tions were expressed by officials on every side, including those who had l>een most vigorous In their opposi tion to his policies. The strong personal attachment of the president and Mr. Bryan has long been noticeable in thplr every day conferences. Even as they met in the cabinet room their greeting was one of affection and regard. It became known that twice before In the two years and three months of Ids term Mr. Bryan had offered to resign so as to save the president from embarrassment, and each time -the pr sident refused to accept the resignation. Throughout the con stant newspaper bombardment of Mr. Bryan for his ’ lews on peace, h'is ad vocacy of prohibition and his speech es on the Chautauqua, the president has stood by the secretary, resenting criticism of him. Otherwise in Harmony. In domestic affairs the two men who were at the helm of the Demo cratic party in its first ascendency into power in sixteen years, co-oper ated most harmoniously. Often Mr. Bryan yielded some of hfs own views, as on the currency bill, and used hie influence to assist the president’s program in congress. It was not surprising, therefore, to officials and friends of the presi dent and Mr. Bryan to learn that the in his with th# naaa who will' Uko up hto portfolio. ’Thera la nothing to bo atltf.*' Mr. Brppa remarked to al group of news paper men as he loft Counsellor Lan sing’s office. That waa a few min utes before it hod boon learned un official^ that the- resignation had been submitted and accepted. ‘There la much speculation •broad," some one suggested to the secretary. Mr; Brwwi RMfiirit tttli Hupimrt of the president j>olitically, although he could not remain in the cabinet and give him official* help on a matter of principle which af fected his entire philosophy of life. Secretary Bryan virtually consid ered himself an out of the adminis tration all day. Denying himself to newspaper men twice during the day at his. usual time for recetying them, the secretly thereby aroused suspi cion that something unsual had oc curred. Afterjunching with other members of the cabinet he returned to r hls office, accompaniect by Secre- tary Danins, who remained for afewj Germans Encountered by Italians. minutes. 1 Later Secretary Daniels steadfactly refrained from discussing what had occurred at the cabinet meeting. Bryan Silent to Reporters. Secretary Bryan was at the state department until five-thirty o’clock, nd during the afternoon saw Mr. Gama, the Brazilian ambassador, few minutes before leaving the CUT dropped into the office of Counsellor Lansing for a brief chat smile,' "you Inow there is a law against speculation In futures. You gentlemen want to be very careful about speculation in futures^ you know.” Rides With Mrs. Bryan. Then he joined Mrs. Bryan, who awaited him in an automobile. They rode for half an hour, returning to their home about six o'clock. Mr. Bryan had just prepared to go out for dinner when a reporter for the Associated Press reached the house. The secretary was attired in evening clothes and appeared to be in a jovial hxood. “Mr. Secretary, we are informed that you have resigned." "Where did you get that informa tion’’’ he asked shatply. *T 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 of letters between the president and himself had been made public. This, he learned, had been done. "The letters.” said Mr. Bryan, ‘‘state the reasons for my designa tion, showing that it was precipitat ed by differences of opinion as to what course should be taken with regard to the American reply to the German note. I will have a mote complete statement, that will be giv en out as soon as the note Is sent. "I would like to sajf more, but can not do so at this time. It would not be appropriate for me to make public my statement regarding the situation until the notj has been forwarded to the German government. There Is no possibility of that being done to night, because the note has to be enciphered and prepared for the cable I think that it will be ready for the wire early to-morrow.'’ "What aie your plans for the fu ture?” "Well.” Mr Bryan said, just as Mrs. Bryan appeared rt the door to remind him that he must hasten. “We have only twelve mlnutee,’’ said Mrs. Bryan. "All right. I will e right there," the secretary answered. Turning again to the reporter, he continued: “We will remain In Washington for a while. Just where we wilt go or what we will do I can not aay at this time. Onr plans, nec- 1 essarily. are not matured.” By this time, the secretary was walking toward the automobile to join Mr. Bryan. They bad started to leave the grounds when Secretary Daniels, driving by, hailed them Mr. Bryan ?J>d Mr. Daniels talked for a few mlnutee before the Bryans has tened on to keep their engagement. Events during the day about the state department seemed to fore shadow a sensational climax The situation from early morning until late at night was a strained one. When Secretary Bryan reached his office, early In the morning, he wore a troubled look. This had worn off later In the day. particularly rfftef the luncheon with other cabinet members. Those who saw the secre tary early in the day attributed his manner to the gravity of the situa tion relating to the German negotia tions. and little curiosity was arous ed until eleven o'clock, the hour for the cabinet meeting, had passed Kef>t hewspaper Men Waiting- Usually on cabinet days, the secre tary does not give audience to news paper men. but meets them in the corridor a few minutes before the hour and asks them ta walk with him over to the White House Tuesday morning more than thirty newspaper men were waiting outside the secre tary's door. It was five minutes after tl e ?a*il'iet hour and Mr. Bryan did not appear. The reporters look ed Inquiringly at each other and won dered about the delay. "Isn’t he going to the cabinet meetings’” they asked. "Do you sup pose he’s resigned?’* Ten minutes later word was sent in asking the secretary If he would see the n swspaper men. Mr. Bryan directed a reply that he was detained from the cabinet meeting by Impor tant business. . » When he appeared at last, Just before noon, brisk and smiling, he greeted the anxious group with: “Well, will you walk with me?” Every one of them followed, di recting rapid fire questions. "I had Important business which detained me,” Mr. Bryan answered to all, and no more information came from him until ajter the formal an nouncement from the White House.

William Jennings Bryan's resigna tion as secretary of state because of a question of principle, at a critical moment in the nation's history, add ed another sensation to a spectacular career—a life devoted to arduous political campaignings, the lecture platform, and the cause of universal peace. _ Attracting attention when he went to congress in 1891, ho leaped into prominence at once with a speech that electrified his audience. The tall, lanky westerner had early earn ed the name of “boy orator of the Platte.’’ His famous “cross of gold and crown of thorns" speech In 1896, at the pyschological moment in the Democratic convention, won for him the nomination for the presidency. When the Spanish-American war broke out he enlisted and went to the front as colonel of a regiment he helped to form. On his return he again came into prominence at the Democratic convention of 1900 and throughout his Campaign against Mc Kinley advocated the granting of in dependence to the Phlllipines and a policy of “anti-imperialism." Notwithstanding his political de feats he was acclaimed as the “peer less leader" of democracy and was supported by a large personal follow ing. He made speeches In nearly every’ city and town In the country and his bitter political fights with factions in many states kept him in the forefront of public attention, al ways dramatically, and in circum stances of vlvl ’ nation-wide interest. When Mr. Bryan returned from a trip around the world in 1910. and was greeted by a great crowd In Mad ison Square Garden, hln speech advo cating government ownership of rail ways stirred up a senuation in domes tic politics. It was uhortly after’this that Woodrow Wilson, then president of Princeton University, wrote the famous letter to Adrian Joltne de claring that speech made him feel that Mr Bryan “ought to be knocked Into a cocked hat." ' The record of Mr. Wilson as gov ernor of New Jersey In advocating progressive legislation attracted Mr. Bryan to him and he visited the gov ernor at his Princeton home. Al though Instructed aa a delegate for Champ Clark. Mr Bryan caused an other aensation at the Baltimore con vention in 1912 by his fight on the Tammany leaders in New York dele gations. He switched his support to Mr Wilson at a critical moment, a circumstance to which has been ascribed Mr. Wilson’s nomination as well as the bTetk of a personal feud with Champ Clark Dprlng the national campaign of 1912, Mr Bryan made many speeches for Mr. Wilson, principally in ths Far \\>*t The two men met for the first time during the campaign at Lincoln. Neb., when they spoke from the same platform several times and received a tremendous ovation. Imter Col. E M. House, a mutual personal friend, brought them together on the subject of the secretaryship of state, a place which Mr Wilcon felt he owed to Mr. Bryan because of the latter’s position in the Democratic party. While holding the portfolio of sec retary of state, Mr. Bryan has con tinued In the public eye, not alone through his official frets, but his de votion to two things—lecturing and politics. One of the first sensations of his official career was his an nouncement that grape Juice would be substituted for alcoholic beverages whenever he entertained members of the diplomatic corps. His statement that 112,000 a year was not sufficient for a cabinet officer and that he, therefore, must lecture to earn more money, was another episode which drew* forth comment round the world. He disregarded newspaper criticism, declaring he had never absented himself when official business required his presence in Washington, His htter concerning the distribution of patronage in San Domingo to “deserving Democrats’’ was another incident widejy discuss ed. Mr. Bryan’s opposition to the nomi nation of Roger Sullivan An Illinois and his activity in other primary fights continued after his official Identification with the Wilson admin istration. His editorials in his news paper, The Commoner, on prohibition and woman suffrage; the signing of thousands of pledges in temperance meetings where he spoke, and his ad vocacy of these issues, irrespective of the attitude of silence of President Wilson, have furnished political gos sip-over his future plans arid ambi tions. ,. Members of the cabinet who know Mr. Bryan most intimately declare, however, that he has always been the least ambitious man at the cabinet table, and unswerving in his political support of the president.. He used his Influence in congress to keep the ranks of administration Democrats solid for the tariff and currency bills. The secretary handled personally the negotiation*of nearly thirty peace treaties between the United States and foreign nations by which all dis putes were to be submitted to an Im partial investigating commission for a year before hostilities could begin. he delicate negotiations in the JapafieMc^hinese situation recently were tirectelr^tolthe hands of Mr. Bryan, who consulted with the presi- dent constantly.
