 Washington -Lindley NJ. Garrison of New Jersey, the Secretary of War. resigned from President Wilson's Cab. met The resignation has been ae- cepted
 Differences between the President and the Secretary over the question of preparedness and the Philippine inde. pendence legislation were responsi- ble for the break.
 At the same time that he accepted the Garrison resignation the President received and accepted the resignation of Henry Breckenridge of Kentucky, Assistant Secretary of War. MT Breek. inridge gave as his reason for retiring the fact that he indorses absolutely the position assumed by Mir Garrison. and. like the latter. regarded the diff. fereuces as being irreconcilable.
 Secretary Garrison's letter of resig. nation follows;
 Washington, February 10, 1916. My dear Mir. President; l am just In receipt of yours of February 10th in reply to mine of February 9th. lt Is evident that we hopelessly disagree upon what 1 conceive to he fundamen' tai principles This makes manifest the impropriety of my longer remain ing your seeming representative with respect te those matters.
 hereby tender my resignation as Secretary of War. to take effect at your convenience.

He wrote two letters to Seere- tary Of State Charles Q.

 The Ohio law requires that eandi- dates for delegates 10 national con ventions must file notice of their can didacy on or before Feb. 25, together with statement of their first and second choice for the Presidential nomination It is required also that a candidate for delegate shall not file the names of his preference for first and second choice unless he has the consent in writing of the persons to named. Ii was necessary, therefore for Ohio candidates for delegate to the Democratic National Convention to have the consent of Mir Wilson to name him as their choice.
 President Wilson explained in one of his letters 10 Secretary of State HI drbraut that he was entirely unwill Ing to enter Into any contest for the Presidential nomination" but was wiling t9 have his name used in or der to comply with the technical re qulremeufs Of the State law

Court Judge Says Many
Homes Thus Be Saved.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-More attention
to personal appearance WOULD save
many homes from being wrecked
Judge John G. Stellk. in the court Of
domestic relations, told wodmen who
complained today that they had been
deserted.
"Some wives merit all the neglect
they get" he said. "Once married
they become sloveniy, unclea1
dilapidated and their lingerie is treat
ed with secondary consideration
Scne of the women I'7-e seen in this
court would scare away man who
had spent II years on desert island
To one woman he said: Comb your
hair. If YOU would Xix yourself w
you would demonstrate that you arc
good looking woman and perhaps
YOU would not have to force your hus
band to come home"
He also gave similar orders to &
man, who. despite his rumpled gray
sweater and dirty trousers, offered t.
give his wife 500 if she would return
to him. Judge Stelk said: "You &C
and SICK up your hair, get shave
buy your wife some flowers and VIII
her all over again. Get her back the
same way you got her in the first
place."
