BRYAN STATEMENT AMAZES OFFICIALS (Continued From First Page) that Mr. Bryan told his colleagues in general way of his statement, and fsome had advised against it The principle advocated by Mr. Bryan is embodied in treaties of peace negotiated by the United States with thirty nations, and was accepted by Germany, although no convention ever was drafted. The statement is a condensation of the argument which Secretary Bryan has been making repeatedly to Pres ident Wilson in the last few weeks.

and upon which he hepes to build up a public sentiment in the United States that will make war with Ger many impossible. Bryan's Statement The text of the statement follows "My reason for resigning is clearly stated in my letter of resignation, namely that I may employ as a private citizen, the means which the President does not feel at liberty to employ. I honor him for doing what he believes to be right, and I am sure that he desires, as I do, to find a peaceful solution of the prob lem which has been created by the action or the submarines. ''Two of the points on which ve airier, each conscientious In his con viction, are: "First, as to the suggestion of in vestigation by an international com mission, and, "Second, as to warning Americans, against travelling on belliger ent vessels or with cargoes of anr munition. Would Apply Treaties "I believe that this nation had frankly stated to Germany that we are willing to apply in this case the principle which we are bound by treaty to apply to disputes between the United States and the thirty countries with which we have made treaties providing for investigation of all disputes of every character ana nature.

"These treaties, negotiated under this administration, make war practically impossible between this country and these governments represent ing nearly three fourths of all tho people of the world "Araong the nations with which we have these treaties are Great Britain, France and Russia. No matter what disputes may arise between us and these treaty nations, we agree that there shall be no declaration and no commencefi'ent of hostilities until the matters in dispute have been investigated by an international commission and a year's t.ime is allowed by investigation and report. This plan was "offered to all the nations without any' exception whatever and Germany was one of the nations that accepted the principle, being the twelfth, I think, to accept. No treaty was actually entered into with Germany, but I cannot see that that should stand in the way when both nations endorsed the principle. I do not know tvhether Germany would accept the offer, but our country should, If my judgment, make the offer.

"Such an offer, if accepted would at once relieve the tension and silence all the jingoes who are demanding war. Germany has aways been a friendly nation and a great many of our people are of German ancestry. Why should we not deal with Germany according to this plan to which the" nation has pledged its support? Second Point or difToienee "The second point of difference is as to the. course which should le pursued in regard to Americans travelling on belligerent ships or with cargoes of ammunition. "Why should an American citizen be permitted to involve his country in war by travelling on a belligerent ship when he knows that the ship will pass through a danger zone? The question is not whether an American citizen has a right, under international law, to travel on a belligerent ship; the question is whether he ought not, out of consideration for his country, if not for his own safety, avoid danger when avoidance is possible.

It is a very one sided citizenship that compels a government to go to war over a citizen's rights and yet relieve the citizen of all obligations to consider his nation's welfare. I do not know how far the President can legally go in actually preventing Americans from traveling on belligerent ships, but I believe the government should go as far as it can and that in case of doubt it should give the benefit of the doubt to nhe government. Should Not Take Risk But if the government could not legally prevent citizens from travelling or. belligerent ships, it could, and in my judgment should, earnest ly advice American citizens not to risk themselves or the peace of their country and I have no doubt that these warnings would be heeded. "President Taft advised Americans to leave Mexico when insurrection broke out there and President W'il son has repeated the advice.

This advice, in my judgment was emi nently wise and I think the same course shouTd be followed in regard to warning Americans to keep off vessels subject 1o attack. "I think, too, that American passenger ships should bp prohibited from carrying ammunition. The lives of passengers ought not to be endangered by cargoes of whether that danger comes from possible explosions within or from possible attacks from without. Passengers and ammunition should not travel together. The attempt to prevent American citizens from incurring these risks is entirely con sistent with the effort which our government Is making to prevent attacks from submarines.

"The use of one remedy does not exclude the use of the other. The most familiar illustration is to te found in the action taken by municipal authorities during a riot. It is the dutyNof tho mayor to suppress the mob and to prevent violence, but he does not hesitate to warn citizens to keep off the streets during the riots. He does not question their right to use the streets Jut for their own protection and in the interest of order he warns them not to incur the risk involved in going upon the streets when men are shooting at each other. Private Citizen is Free "The President does not feel justified in taking the action above stated.

That i.s,he does not feel justified, first, in suggesting the submission of the controversy to investigation, or second, in warning the people not to incur the extra hazards in travelling on belligerent ships or on ships carrying ammunition. And he may he right in the position he has taken, but as a private citizen, I am free to urge both of these 'propositions and to call public attention to these remedies in the hope of securing such expressions" of public sentiment as will support the President em ploying these remedies if. in the fu lure, finds it consistent with his sense of duty to favor them." Timed With Sendine of Note The issuance of the explanation had been timed to coincide exactly with the dispatch of the American note to Germany. Mr. Bryan left the state depart ment shortly after I o'clock.

The note was put on the telegraph wires at 2 o'clock, when Mr. Bryan resig nation went into effect. On leaving the state department Mr. Bryan drove directly home to assume hts new roje as a private citizen by reading telegraphs of con gratulation which poured in rrom friends throughout the country. The afternoon and evening the retiring secretary spent quietly at home.

Will Support Wilson. The close personal relationship of Mr. Bryan and the President will be reflected in the former secretary's future course, it was learned today authoritatively. Mr. Bryan intends to continue a staunch political supporter of Mr.

Wilson on democratic affairs and believes he can even assist him in the sentiment he hopes to build up for the principle of vestigation of disputes before hostilities. Lansing Rerrets. While at the White House Mr. Lansing expressed regret at Mr. Bryan's resignation.

"I have grown very fond of the Secretary and am very sorry to see him leave the department," said he. After seeing Mr. Lansing, President Wilson went automobiling. As he entered his automobile, tourists in the White House grounds joined in a round of applause and the President' raised his hat and smiled. Realizing that for the present there is little to do but await the German' answer to the American note, many cabinet officers took a vacation today.

Secretary Bryan was the recipient of many telegrams expressing regret at his resignation and commending him for the manner in which he submitted it. He will stay in Washington for a 6hort time and then depart for a re6t. His resigna tion was unexpected in official and diplomatic Washington generally. Only a small circle of friends knew that Mr. Bryan had offered to eliminate himself from the situation to prevent further embarrassment in the cabinet.

Bryan's Last Duties. In the closing hours of his ad ministration, Secretary Bryan bade farewell to his associates in tho State Department, looked after some minor executive questions, received newspaper correspondents, made a tour of the State, War and Navy buildings to call informally on colleagues. He planned to turn over the affairs of his office to Mr. Lansing at 1 p. m.

When Mr. Bryan came out ot Assistant Secretary Roosevelt's office he was surrounded by news paper men. "Well, gentlemen," said he, you see I am not late today. Some times I have been late, particularly so yesterday. Did you ever see an old hen trying to gather her chick ens beneath her in the "Yes, I've got an old hen," said one.

"Doesn't she sometimes seem fussy and irritable?" asked the secretary. "Yes, sometimes she picks was the rejoinder. Felt Like Old Hen. "Well, I have often felt like the old hen in some respects. I havo been trying to keep a number of in ternational secrets covered up un der my wing, so to speak.

If sometimes I have seemed cross and irritable, it is because I have been afraid that some of the secrets would creep out. Of course you don't question the old hen's good intentions and I hope that you won't mine. So much for fiction As for news, I have none to give you, you know it all." Mr. Bryan said he expected to see President Wilson a little later and planned to leave the department at 1 clock. Will Receive At flome.

"I do not expect tb return," said he. It is probable that I will ra ceive the members of the diplomatic corps at my home. From there also I will make public a final statement regarding my resigna tion." As to his personal plans for the future, Mr. Bryan said none had been formulated and that he ex pected to remain in Washington for a short time. "I feel like all other members of the cabinet, said Secretary Dan iels.

"I regret Mr. Bryan's resignation very much. Personally I regret it. I am very fond of Mr. Bryan I think the President expressed the feeling of everybody.

His own feel ings are the feelings of all the. mem bers of the cabinet." Secretary Daniels, who is very close to Bryan, endorsed the Presi dents note and said he had no thought of resigning. Last Day In Office. Mr. Bryan was up early today to begin closing up his affairs at the State Department.

Before breakfast he took a Jong horseback ride alone through Rdck Creek Park and then returning his home, Calumet Place, formerly the mansion of Gen. John A. Logan, received one caller, Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of labor, who stopped on his way to his office to speak a word of regret at the secretary's departure. Clerks Bid Him Good Bye.

When Mr. Bryan started for his office, Mrs. Bryan walked down the drive with 'him to his carriage and at the approach of the couple the old State Department coachman, who for many years has driven the carriages which are assigned to the secretary, got down from his box and hat in ha ad. told them both how much he regretted to see Mr. Bryan go and how much he had appreciated the Secretary's kind ness.

As the secretary drove to nis of fice, probably for the last time, he passed throngs of government clerks on their way to office, reading in the morning papers the news of his He was surrounded by scores who wanted to say a word of good bye as he entered his offices. Counselor Lansing, who, upon Mr, Bryan's resignation, becomes acting secretary. Was at his desk early today and shortly before 10 o'clock went to the White House and saw the President. i So far as State Department re cords show, Mr. Bryan is the first secretary td resign as the i red Send for the Plumber HIS NAME IS HERBERT S.

Incident of 898.

The nearest approach to; Secretary Bryan's action recalled here was the resignation in 1S98 of James, A. Gary, of Maryland, postmaster general in President Mc Kinley's cabinet. His resignation was based upon repugnance to the approaching war with Spain. Comments on Resignation For 15 minutes the President and Mr. Bryan talked exchanging words of farewell today.

The Secretary was making his last official call on the President, but nevertheless the personal element was Cordially and without any trace of feeling, the two men talked of the situation which resulted in Mr. Bryan's resignation. Each spoke dispassionately of the differences and his belief that the other was doing what he thought best for the United States. Those who saw them were touched with the regard the two men displayed for each other. Finally Mr.

Bryan remarked that he knew the President was a busy man and that he would not detain him longer. The two men, who have stood tcgether during the last two years in one crisis after another, rose to their feet simultaneously and clasped hands.
