WASHINGTON. June Faotnff
the greatest crisis In recent Ameri
can history, President Wilson stood
firm today on a policy of “no sur
render" of American rights.
No matter what the cost, he vu
prepared to rmpJiaslz 1 the doctrine
of protection for Americans, wher
ever they may go. Secretary of
State Bryan’s resignation from the
cabinet had solidified the adminis
tration.
Tli** note to Germany was byir.g
tmt in state departmental code, it
was to go on tin* cables before
nightfall. AfTlxetf to It was the
name of Robert Lansing, acting seo

starts on its way, th" Bryan resig
nation being framed to become ef
fective then.
Official Washington was still
dazed today ovsr the enblnet crisis.
It had hern hoped to the very last
that some way would he found
whereby Rryan < mid retain his
[lost, thus emphasizing to the world
that, whatever the administration’s
policy. It had the united support of
till factions in the nation. The hops
was vain Bryans position was
found to b* irreconcilable, and th®
president finally dec filed that ha
would haw* to allow him to Quit. It
rai f. red that :. - • tire meat
would have a had effect on thx Ger
man position, but th** president and
th" two men most In his confidence
if pr* <mt. Secretari* s Garrison and
l am*, argil* and that and. lay w ould mere
l\ nutk the crisis more acute.
In all * vit - Bryan to ste p down
and out t .» administration was
hopeful that Gc rmany would be im
press! and with the seriousness of
\rn*rica’<» ch-fern {nation to insist
that her rights umler International
law h' scrupulously ohserv*>d. Bryan
himself wit a 1 ' > h i* ful That
this would I** the way tne thing
would work out.
