As a result of the recommendations made by this commission on the Gov- ernment was engaged in drafting legislation which it was about to sub- mit to Parliament when the war broke out, and which, Mr. Lasker said, will very likely be presented as soon as possible at the conculsion || of the war.

BRYAN RESIGNS AS ‘SECRETARY OF STATE (Continued from Page 1.) even when we do not work in the same way. With affectionate regard, sincerely yours, ‘“WOODROW WILSON." The effect of the resignation is in- terpreted variously in official and di- plomatic quarters, on the delicate situation which has arisen between Germany and the United States. The resignation of the staunchest advo- cate of peace in the president’s offi- cial family has spread broadcast the belief that tl\\e policy of the United States as definitely determined upon would assert and defend the rights of the United States in any. event- uality that might arise. the president and Bryan to have the announcement made simultaneously with the dispatch of the-note to Ger- many, but when Bryan failed to at- tend the cabinet meeting yesterday until the presidént sent for him, ru- mors that the president had been un- able to persuade Bryan filled the air. Had Been Friction. That there had been friction be- tween the president and Bryan had been under-current comment for sev- eral weeks, but as the president here- tofore had always been able to secure the acquiescence of Bryan in his point of view, the talk of resignation was discounted.

Mr. Avery has been a close reader of the sporting pages since the bass fishing season opene® Clerks in his office thought he had become a stu- dent of the batting average column or had developed into a fight fan. Often he would snip out an item and put it in a large serapbook, which he locked in his desk. Yesterday the scrap book was op- ened. Scores of clippings, some with pictures, were taken out and mailed to the game wardens of nearly every county in the state. Every clipping was a fish story and all related to catches exceeding the limit. With each batch of clippings went a’form letter instructing the wardens to in- vestigate each _story and learn whether the fishermen had “put one over” on the sporting editor. If he hadn’t and the story was true, ar- rests were ordered. In addition to the clippings Mr. Avery sent out data on reports of large catches that had come to his office in letters and by word of mouth. Alfred De Schmidt, resident warden in the Minneapolis district,” will put up to three Minneapolis and one St. Paul man a newspaper story relating how they caught 98 black bass ‘n Long Lake, near Bemidji.

For exam- ple, a woman may write asking for information regarding a missingson. In this case, the postmaster may use his own judgment in suggesting some means to help her, but no informa- tion regarding his mail can be given. In most casés‘l.he following circular letter is sent: ‘“‘Respectfully returned with the information that the rules of the P. O. department forbid my furnish- ing this information. A letter with return card addressed to this person will be delivered, if possible, or re- turned to sender.” Suspicious wives and husbands, mothers of missing sons, and scores of other apparently believe the post- | master has information that would help them secure the desired infor- mation in each case. For that rea- son the postmaster has a very dis- criminating task to perform. Many of the letters indicate that the writer has a worthy motive in asking in- formation, but the rules are rigid. In such a case, all the postmaster can do is to suggest the best possible solu- tion of the problem through some other channel, using his own station- ary and postage, serving in a private capacity. Even then no rules of of- fice should be violated.
