He preached a short sermon with the air of a plagued, unkempt angel; then he took up the resignations and read them out exactly as he read the church letters of new members, accepting each one and giving the reasons why. It was the most sensational service ever held in that church.

The soul of the President was vexed beyond endurance; and as under existing conditions harmony in his official family was impossible, he determined upon a reorganization of his Cabinet. To this end, the resignations of Van Buren, Eaton, and Barry were voluntarily tendered, and promptly accepted. A formal request from the President to Messrs.
If officials were to resign because they did not agree with the view of their chief, it would mean that almost all of them would send in their resignations. Espionage and counter-espionage have greatly flourished during the war. In that connection Russia showed great activity in Roumania. In October, 1914, an event occurred which was very unfortunate for me.
