VILLA
RECEIVES
WASHINGTON, June 0. There
was n well-defined trend of opinion in
official quarters that the resignation
of Mr. Ilrynn would iro far in im
pressing Oerinnny wrth the earnest
intention of the United Status to in
sist on its rights.
"It is understood the United Slates
lias from timo to time received nu
tlioritutivo information Unit high
German officials believed tho admin
istration committed to a policy of un
interrupted pence and did not nt any
time or undor nny circumstances
wish to go to war. Many officials
thought Mr. IJryan's resignation
would remove all doubts in Merlin and
that Germany, if sincerely desirous
of averting war, would arrange for n
way out o the problem which coultl
be honorably accepted by tho United
States.

NKW YORK, Juno 9. Secretary
Hryan's resignation created somo un
settlement nt the opening of today's
session of tho stock exchange. Initial
declines ranged from 1 to 5 points
with pronounced wenkness in war
shares and othor specialties coming
within that classification. Dealings
gavo promise of rising to n largo to
tal, but boro no indications of liqui
dation. U. S. steel was the only stock
to bo offered In largo amounts, init
ial sales aggregating "COO shares at
a loss of 1 3-1. Much of this was
soon retrieved and rallies In other
parts of the lost fololwed In short or

"My Dear Mr. President:
"It Is with sincere regret that I
have reached tho conclusion that I
should return to you the commission
of secretary of state with which you
honored mo nt the beginning of your
administration.
"Obcdlont to your sense of duty
and actuated by tho highest motives
you have prepared for transmission
to the German government n noto In
which I cannot Join without violating
what I deem to bo an obligation to my
country and tho Issue Involved is of
such moment that to remain a mom-
bcr of tho cabinet would bo as unfair
to you us It would bo to tho causo
which Is nearest my heart, namely
tho prevention of war. '
"I thereforo respectfully tender my
resignation, to tnko effect when the
noto Is sent, unless you prefer nn
arIIor hour. Alike desirous or reach
ing iwaceful solution of tho problems
arising out of tho use of submarines
ngalnst merchnntment, wo find our
selves differing Irreconcilably as to
tho methods which should bo employ,

"It falls to your lot to speak offic
ially for the nation; I consider It to
bo none tho less my duty to endeavor
as a private citizen to promoto tho
end which you have in view by means
which you do not feel at liberty to
uso.
"With tho heartiest wishes for your
welfare and for tho success of your
administration, I am my dear Mr.
President,

belligerent ships, hut I beliee the
government bliould go iih I'm' as it
can, nnd that in case of doubt it
should give the bene! it of the doubt
to tho government.
"Hut even if the government could
not legnlly prevent citizens from
traveling on belligerent liis it
could, and in my judgment should,
earnestly uilvino American citicu
not to risk thumselves or the peace
of their country, and I have no doubt
that these warning would be heeded.
"1'residenl Tuft advised Americans
to cac Mexico when insurrection
broke out there, and President Wil
son has repeated the advice. This
iidiiee in my judgment was eminently
wise, mid 1 think the same course
should be followed in wiirninir Amer
icans to keep off vessels hiibjeet to
attack.
Ammunition Question
"I think, too, that American pas
senger shis should he prohibited
from carrying ammunition. The lives
of passengers ought not to be eiidnu-
gercd by cargoes of ummimition,
whether that danger comes from pos
sible explosions within or from pos
sible attacks from without. Passen
gers and ammunition siiouhl not
travel together. The attempt to pre
vent American citizens from incurr
ing these ri-hh is entirely consistent
with the el fort which our go eminent
is making to prcicut attacks from
submarines.
"Tho uso of one lciuedv Iocs not
exclude t lie use of the other. The
most familiar illustration is to he
found in the action taken bv munic
ipal authorities during a riot. It is
the duty of the mayor to suppress
tho mob and pi event ioIeucc, hut lie
does not hesitate to warn citizens to
keep off the streets during the riots.
Ho does not iustion their right to
use the btreets, hut for their own
protection and in the interest of or
der, lie warns them not to incur tin
risks involved in going upon the
streets when men are shooting at
eaeli other.
President May Ito Itlglit
"The president does not feel ju
titled in taking the action nboc
stated. That is, he doc not feci
justified firat, in suggesting the sub
mission of the eontnuersy to unc-.-tigHtton,

"My Dear .Mr. Urynn:
"I accept your resignation only be
cause you Insist upon Its acceptance;
and I nccopt It with much more than
deep regrpt, with a feeling of personal
sorrow. Our two years of closo asso.
elation have been very delightful to

practically every matter, official duty
and of public policy until now; your
support of the work and purposes of
tho administration has been generous
and loyal beyond praise, your devo

of evory great opportunity for servlco
It offorcd has been an example to tho

"It Is for those reasons my feelings
about your retirement from tho office
of secretary of stato go much deeper

desire only because I must and wish

We shall rnntlniia to work for tho

their boiiho of personal rogrot.
Tho clone perMonnl relationship of

Iteports that Secretary Daniels had
resigned or would do so woro cur
rent todny, but wero flatly denied on
all sides, Tho report, It was said,
grew out of tho woll-known friend
ship of Mr. Ilryun and Mr. Daniels.
An n matter of fact, nlno members
ot tho cabinet stood solidly for tho

tho noto. Mr. Daniels was with those
who differed with tho secretary of
state. Somo members oven advised
a stronger phraseology than tho pres
ident had used, hut on tho final dis
cussion tho decision to send tho noto
was unnnlmoun.
At 12; .10 o'clock, Mr, Ilrynn left
