President's Reply toBryan's Note of Resianation.
Poultry Meeting a Success.
A large "flock" of poultry enthus¬ iasts met in the Clinton school, Rock¬ ville Centre, last Tuesday night, June 1, and listened to talks on co-opera¬ tion. The meeting had been arrang¬ ed by the newly formed Nassau Poul¬ try Association and was the flrst of the monthly meetings planned by that association for the beneflt of poultrymen.
After a few Introductory worde by the president, Mr, S. R. Stone, Rock¬ TlIIe Centre, In which the purpose of the Nassau Poultry Association was ably brought out, Mr. W, Fletcher of Valley Stream waa introduced. Mr. Fletcher, in an unoflicial capacity spoke about the work of the Poultry Fanciers' Association of Long Island. Mr. S. S. Klein of Richmond Hill and secretary of the Richmond Hill Poul¬ try. Association, paTed the way for Mr. Bstabrooks, likewise of.Rlchmond Mill anijl president of the Richmond Hill Association.
fir, Bstabrooks told how his asso¬ ciation was formed to flght the too severe, ordinances tbat tbe board of health of New York City proposed passing to prohibit or prohibitively restrict poultry keeping In Oreater New York. "The association is prov¬ ing a success in that flght,"* Mr. Bsta¬ brooks said, "its existence was con¬ tinued for What other beneflts it might give to poultrymen." Mr. Bs¬ tabrooks then dwelt on the many ad¬ vantages derived from the organiza- tioo.
Mr. Ralph Marlon ot Oceanside, seoretary of the Nassau Poultry Aa¬ soclatlon. told about the New York ' State "Vegetable Orowers' Assooiatlon and tbe lessona to be learned from a study of its workings. Mr. Bertram Kirschbaum, treasurer, gave a similar Instance of co-operative success in an up-state poultry asaociatlon.
At the oonelualoa of tha talks a buslneaa nreeting was held. Appllea- tiona ot 2i new members for mam- bersbip wera aoooapted and approT«4. An executive eommlttee waa fornai tg oonduet the aasoelation's buainess and oommlttees were apointed to In- quira into ways and means tor co" (^•ration In buying and selling, re- speetlTely. Ttxa sneatiag waa then voted a great suooaas'and adiourned. The jaazt neeting will be beld Jtdy 6, at tha aaoM^pIae* if aocommtodatloas oaa 1^ bad-
Oarman stttfatton seems to be tlw poa- ¦iUilitr of dividing the country la re¬ gard to PnMrtdent Wiinon's policy. Up to this time the president has enjoyed practicaUy tbe nnanimoas sapport of tbe cpontry, and he haa found great encouragement and coDsolation In tbis fact
Washington, June "9.—William J. Bryan has resigned as secretary of state and his resignation bas been ac¬ cepted by President WUsoij to take effect immediately.
Mr. Bryan retiree from the Wilson adminstratJon because he is not able coDSClentlouBly to sign the note whicb the president Is about to dispatch to Oermany. To attach his Hignatnre to this complication wtnild. In the opin¬ ion of Mr. Bryan, be unfair to the cause nearest his heart. "Namely, the prevention of war."
At the direction of President Wilson Robert Lansing, acting secretary of state, has signed the note. It has been rushed into the bands of state depart¬ ment experts to be coded and will be on Its way to Berlin by the time Amer¬ ican public is reading the startling de¬ tails of Mr. Bryan's refusal to lend hla name to it ns secretary of state.
The note to which Mr. Bryan was unable to subscribe flrmly restates the position of the United States, reiterates President Wilson's previous demands and calls upon Germany for a prompt, expression whether or not she Intendir to abide by the principles of inter¬ national law nnd humanity.
Three developmentfl stnnd out impres¬ sively among those which Washington believes will come from yesterday's remarkable oocurrance:
Devision of Opinion.
First.—That the country will be divided on the question of President Wilson's policy toward Qermany.
Second.—That there wtll be a real awakening in Germany to the deter¬ mination of tbe president aiid the seriousness of the situation confronting them-as a result of this government's demands.
Third.—Tbat there will be a change in the administration's general foreign policy. The substitution of a vigorous assertion of American rights for the temporising policy of the last two years.
Many oflJcials in Washington also ex¬ pect to see a clean cut issue between iiresident Wilson and Mr. Bryan on the question of the national defenses, with the probable retirement Of Josephus Daniels, Mr. Bryan's friend, from the cabinet as secretary of the navy. .
Startling as was the withdrawal of Mr. Bryan from the administration, it was the effect of his action upon the immediate crisis between the United States and Germany over which Wash¬ ington ofllciala wer© chiefly concerned.
One sentence in Mr. Bryan's letter of reslffnation to the president was pnzzlinV- This sentence read:
"Obedient to your sense of duty and actuated biy the highest motives, you have prepared for transmission to the Oerman government a note in which I cannot Join without violating what I deem to be on obligation to my coun¬ try and the issue involved is of such moment that to remain a member of the cabinet wonld be as unfair to you as It would be to tbe cause which Is near¬ est my heart—namely, the prevention Vf war."
Faarful of Consaquanoas.
In some quarters this sentence was construed as a plain intimation that Secretary Bryan feared one of the pos¬ sibilities of the note which President Wilson had ordered forwarded to G^r many is war. Tbe other construction was that Secretary Bryan feared that his acqulesence In the president's re¬ fusal to discuss the Lusltanla facts with, the Berlin government would be fx deathblow to the principles for which Mr. Bryan has contended and which he has embodied In twenty years' treaties with foreign governments.
While the correspondence between the president and Mr. Bryan Is marked with the utmost cordiality on the pres¬ ident's pari. In fact with manltesta- tiona of deep regret and sorrow, there was one sentence In Secretary Bryan's letter which indicates that be will not hesitate to use all means at his com mand to prevent a rupture with Ger¬ many. The Inference seems to be that Mr. Bryan would throw tbe weight of bis personal power against snch coDtlngeacy,
Haa Had Unanimous Support.
On tbe other hand. President Wilson makes It plain that he haa accepted Secretary Bryan's resignatlMi only be¬ cause, Mr. Oryan bas insisted and t^t be expects tbe eo-operation of Mr, Bryan in accomplishing not only this COTemmenf s present objeet witb Oer- maayi but tbei otber poHdea of tbe admlnlatntlon. Tbeeo are tbe presi¬ dent's exact words:
"We shall continue to work for the same csosas even wben we do not work In tile same way."

The enthuBiasfti of the young folks was apparent from the begining, as they interluded several of the games with outbursts of Latin phrases and later an attempt to translate the doc¬ tor's diploma. Elizabeth Anderson 'and Mervin Golden were baffled in the early part of the evening to find out what IT was, finally giving it up, to the amusement of the gathering. William Grace caused hilarity when blindfolded he mistook Edward Davis for Alfred Nygren by feeling his nose. Various other games were played, piano solos by Messrs. Van Reese and Mervin Golden entertained for a while together with singing, school songs. After a delightfnl collation the young folks left for home Just before Sunday morning.
Among those present were Marlon Smith, Carol Smith, Isabelle Seaman, Margerle Bartholomew, Bessie Place, Helen Hambler, Estel Foster, Eliza¬ beth Anderson, Chriatine Eidt, Wil¬ liam Grace, Edward Davis, Alfred Nygren, Curtis Fulton, Mervin Qold¬ en, Edwin Slote, Cornellua Van Rees, Lawrence Smith and Holmes Sweeney.
