Secretary Garrison Resigns.

Lindley NJ. Garrison, secretary OF
war, late on Thursday rendered his
resignation to President Wilson,
and It was accepted. Refusal OF
the president to insist upon accept
ance of the continental army plan
generally opposed in congress and
Mr.. Garrison's disapproval OF the
Philippine independence bill as II
passed the senate were responsible
for his decision to quit the cabinet.
Making his first statement as to
his future plans since his resigna-
ton as secretary of war, Lindley
NJ. Garrison Friday declared he had
retired from politics and that ne

The former secretary received
newspaper men early Friday after
noon at the home of George Leary
on Fifth Avenue. He went to the
Learv home Immediately on his
arrival. Communication with Gar
rison was denied and it was first
declared he would make no state
ment whatever.
Get it out of your heads that
there is anything political in my
actions, was one of GarrisOn's first
statements.
Il am going to find some place
where I can pursue my vocation or
avocation, support myself and my
wife and lay by a little for the
future" he continued. I am out

President Wilson has supported
the continental army scheme and
continues to believe that it is the
best plan for strengthening the
army. He has made it plain, how
ever, in speeches and in talks with
congressional leaders, that the
main thing is to get a large reserve
for the United States Army, and
that the details must be worked
out through common counsel

The Ship Purchase Bill.

The Government Ship Purchase
Bill framed after extended confer
ences between administration lead
ers and congress and other high
officials was introduced recently in
the house, by Representative Alex
ander of Missouri. Hearings will
begin on this bill in Il short while.
The house is expected to pass the
bill, but despite changes made to
satisfy democratic senators, strong
opposition is anticipated in the
senate. Leaders, however, declare
they are confident that even if
democrats who helped side track
the bill year ago still opposed it,
passage would be assured by the
support of republicans and three
new democratic additions to the
senate. 1t was said last week that
at least six of the seven un-Ameri-
can democrats who voted against
the measure last session, were still
unyielding in their opposition, be-
cause of the provision which gives
the government power to operate
ship lines IN times of peace when
satisfactory leases to private oper-
ators can not be negotiated. These
six are Clarke of Arkansas, Bank
head of Alabama, Hitchcock of
Nebraska, Hardwick of Georgia,
O'Gorman of New York, and Var
daman of Mississippi. The three
new senators expected to vote fav-
orally are Beckhma, Rusting and
Johnson.
