ance had reached him.
Mr. Bryan, In taking leave of tho
stale department employes, told them
that the "rewards of life are not to
be found in either the money we
make or in the honors we enjoy." Me
said the "real honors are the aftec
tlons we feel for each other. The

'compauled by good will."

Dramatic Sequel.
(William Jennings, Tiryan, three
times Democratic candidate for the
presidency of the United States and
author of nearly thirty peace treaties
with., the principal nations of the
world, resigned as secretary of state
as a dramatic sequel to his dlsagree-
mept with President Wilson over the
government's policy toward Germany.
The resignation wa accepted by
the president. '
iRather 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 such moment that to re
main a member of the cablnrt would
be as unfair to you as It would be to
the cause which is nearest my heart.
namely, the prevention-of war."
First Dlssention May 13.
The real disagreement dates bach:
to the famous session of the cabinet
when the note of May 13, following
the sinking of the iLusitania, was
drafted, informing Ger.n-any that the
United States would not omit "any
word or any act" to protect Its rights.
At that time Mr. Bryan made a speech
counselling peaceful measures and
cautious action.
