Secretary Bryan sald at his home when told of the formal announcement of his resignation: “In view of the announcement of my resignation I will say, that letters being made public therewith state my reasons, but 1 will have & more complete state- ment that will' be given out when the American reply to the German note is sent, which probably will be tomorrow. “My resignation takes effect as soom A8 the note has been forwarded." Mr. Bryan added that he probably would remain in Washington for a while, Long Talked Of. That there had been friction between the president and Mr. Bryan has been the undercurrent of comment for several ‘weeks, but the president heretofore had always been able to secure the | aoquiescence of the secretary in his point |of view, talk of resignation was dis- | counted generally. It came to light to- |day that the position of Mr. Bryan in the cabinet recently has become very em- barrassing—his advocacy of peace beinx #0 pronounced that other members of {the cabinet, who felt that the Un'ted States should assert itself irrespective of the consequences, were undorstood to have on occasions declared their inten- tion of resigning If a policy of firmness and vigor was not adopted. 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 protect its rights. { Why He Consented. “At that time Mr. Bryan made a speech | counselling peaceful measures and cau- l(luun actio As one tively arranged that a statement at the | White House shoyld be lasued and tranamitted to the Germon government, announcing that in a smuch as Germany | had acceptad the principle of the peace (reaties negotiated between the United | States and other countries differences between the two nations might be ad- Justed by a commission of investigation. Opposition to this course was most vehement In some cabinet quarters and the president after ing consldered at {length Mr, Bryan's suggestion finally disapproved at the hour the note wns sent. Some cabinet officers declared that such an appendix to the rote of May 13 would be construed abroad as a weaken- ing of the American position and their counse] prevailed. Since then the official relations of Mr, Bryan with the presi- dent and other cahinet officers have been scmewhat strained, uithough the closest ’nmal triandehip has been maintained Gfficials of the administrations sent their personal regrets, Statement Issued.
