Garrison's proposals for the army out
side of Congress has come from men,
bers of the National Guard. During
committee hearings it was disclosed
that the Secretary had offered to give
his support to a militia pay bill. q plan
of which he disapproved in principle,
if the guardsmen would support his
proposals eor the continentalS. The
Secretary later made public letter to
Chairman Chamberlain, of the Senate
military committee, declaring himself
against the pay bills after the guards
men had assailed the continental plan.
Mr.. Garrison is understood to have
been one of those Cabinet members
who have stood most firmly for decla-
ration of the nations rights in the de-
liberations that have resulted from
the Lusitania incident and the inter
ruption of American commerce with
neutral nations of Europe. Mr.. Gar
rison has himself declined positively to
discuss any matter relating to Cabinet
meetings.
When American troops were sent to
Vera Cruz to relieve Admiral Fletcher's
marines and sailors Secretary Garrison
worked day and night in an effort to
prepare the army for war in Mexico if
that was to come.
The echoes of the steps he then took
to insure q prompt response by the
National Guard in case of need and to
provide for supplies and army equip
ment in advance of the call for them
still reach Washington occasionally.
In conducting the affairs of the War
Department Secretary Garrison has
started a campaign of decentralization,
which is yet to be completed. His
theory is that greater efficiency will
come from lodging responsibility di-
rectly with commanding officers,
whether of companies or departments,
and then compelling them to live up
to that duty.
Mr.. Garrison is the third member of
President Wilson'S Cabinet to resign.
The first Justice McReynolds, resigned
as Attorney General to accept q seat
on the Supreme Court. The second,
William Jennings Bryan, resigned as
Secretary of State because of differ
ences with the President over the con-
duct of the submarine warfare contro-
versy with Germany.

advocacy and was still trying to get
Congress to adopt it.
The President, his friends said,
worked with Congressional leaders on
the currency, tariff and other bills,
and through making some cessions,
was able to get bills which he finally
approved. He still feels that it is best
to pursue the same policy in dealing
with the army and Philippine ques-
tions.
Technically the war department to-
day was without q head, although
Major General Hugh Scott, chief of
staff of the army was ranging officer.
VIII Not Delay Congress
Under an existing executive order,
General Scott, in the temporary alb
sence or illness of the Secretary the
Assistant Secretary would become act
ing secretary. The judge advocate
general to-day decided that neither
Mr.. Garrison nor Mr.. Breckenridge
were temporarily absent, and
therefore the order was without ecect.
new executive order designating
General Scott as secretary ad interim
was Immediately drawn up. The Or
der authorizes General Scott to per-
form the duties of Secretary of War
for Il period not to exceed thirty days
until a Secretary of War shall have
been appointed and shall have quail
fed.
Congress will proceed to compile
ton OF a military program without re-
gard tothe resignation of Secretary
Garrison" said Chairman Chamber
lain, of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee to-day after a meeting of
the committee. ''The resignation will
have no effect one way or the other
upon the military committees of the
Senate or the House. Personally |
very much regret his resignation. Mr..
Garrison was forceful man and one
of positive views which he was not
afraid to stand by. Unfortunately his
continental army plan was not popu-
lar in the military committees of Con-
gress, or did it meet with the views
of Il majority of the members in the
Senate and the House.
The Senate committee decided to
begin next Monday the work of franz
ing the army reorganization bill.
Lindley NJ. Garrison, Secretary of
War, was regarded as the ablest and
strongest of the advisers of the admin

that Mr.. Garrison had resigned. Twice

comes Secretary of War ad interim.

great surprise at your letter of to-
day, offering your resignation as
Secretary of War. There has been
no definite action taken yet in either

But since you have felt obliged
to take this action. and since it is
evident chat your feeling in the
matter is very great indeed, 1 feel
that I would be only imposing q
burden upon you shorld I urge you
to retain the secretaryship of war
while l am endeavoring to find
successor. L ought to relieve you
at once. and do hereby accept your
resignation, because it is so evil

do SO.

however, without expressing to you
my very warm appreciation of the
distinguished service you have rem

probation 1 am only putting into
words the judgment of our fellow
citizens far and wide.
With sincere regret at the action
you have felt constrained to take.
