GARRISON RESIGNS
FROM THE CABINET
WAR SECRETARY QUITS BECAUSE
HIS CONTINENTAL ARMY
PLAN Is REJECTED.
BRECKENRIDGE ALSO OUT
Wilson'S Cabinet Officer Was Also
Dissatisfied With the Philippine
independence Bill Recently
Passed BY Congress.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Garrison re.
signed his portfolio OF secretary Of war
because President Wilson would not
'~irrevocably' support the continental
army plan, and because he opposed
the administrations program Of setting
a definite time for Philippine indie
pendance. President Wilson accepted
the resignation and has not selected q
successor.
The president himself probably will
take personal charge Of the admins
tration's national defense plans in
congress.
Assistant Secretary breckenridge
also resigned as a mark Of loyalty to
his chief, whose views he shares. The
president accepted his resignation.
Both take effect Immediately. Major
General Scott, chief OF staff of the
army, automatically becomes secre-
tary OF war ad interim.
II is known that one Of Secretary
Garrison's principal reasons for his
conviction that only a federal CONT
mental army, instead Of a reorganized
national guard, could be the main mil.
Ivory dependence OF the nation was his
belief that some day the United States
may be called upon to defend the Mon
roe doctrine, and in that event he
foresaw that the national guard might
not be available for use outside Of the
United States before a declaration of
war.
Upon that contention, on the one
hand, that the continental army, or
ultimately universal service, was the
nations only reliance and tho position
on the other that nc n plan could be
enforced upon congress, President
Wilson and his secretary of wal part
ed official company.
Mr.. Garrison characterized the
Clarke amendment to the Philippine
bill providing conditionally for the In
dependence Of the islands within four
years, IAN abandonment Of the duty
OF this nation and a breach of trust
the FliDnos." The president re-
piled z was bis Judgment that the
amendment was "unwise at
time,' but added 1T would clearly
be most inadvisable for me to take the
position that must dissent from that
action should both houses Of congress
in a bill embodying that amend
ment until the final action was before
him in definite form"
Expressions of regret over the turn
of affairs were general in administra-
tion circles. The president thinks
Of Mr.. Garrison's abilities and
MIR, Garrison has been the warm friend
of most of the other cabinet members,
although he and former Secretary
Bryan differed radically on many sub
jcCts.
