WILSON'S ACTION
ON RESERVATIONS
. PLEASES SOLONS
President is Satisfied to Allow
Congress to Shape Course
of Defense Plans

l WASHINGTON, -. G., Feb. 12.-An
entirely new note Of harmony and CO
ioperatiCn in the halls OF Congress was
struck yesterday. following the resiS-
nation Of Secretary of War Garrison
and Assistant Secretary Brecken-
ridge. There seemed to have been a
preconcerted agreement between the
solons not to make any move so long
as Mr.. Garrison was in office. and
Congress appears to have taken his
retirement as signal to get busy on
the preparedness program.
This was most apparent at the hear
ings and in the committee room of the
house military affairs committee,
where a resolution was adopted
thanking President Wilson for his
evident confidence in the house and
senate committees. II was this conf
dence, rather than IN his cabinet Of
ficials, IL is said, that led to Mr..
Garrison's retirement.
Trusts Solons to Solve Problem.
Members Of. the military affairs
committee we're not slow to express
their belief that the designations in
the cabinet were proof positive that
the Presidents fight had been to per-
NIT Congress to solve the army and
navy defense problems without any
interference on his part.
He trusted in the judgment OF
Congress rather than In the judg-
ment of his cabinet advisers" is the
way member of the house commit
tee put it last night.
This attitude on the part of the
President is regarded as the most sig
nificant, because of his own well
known preferences for some of the
plans for national defense which have
been under consideration.

LONDON, Eng, Feb. 12.-The Rus
sian navy has been busy with the
property of the Turks along the shores
of the Black Sea. Reports from Petro-
grad yesterday confirmed earlier des-
patches to the effect that the Black
Sea feet of the car had bombarded
several Turkish positions along the
coast.
The British expedition on the left
bank of the Tigris river is said, In
dispatches from Constantinople, to
have been defeated in an attempted
advance toward Kut-el-Amara.
The admiralty last night issued a
formal denial of the statement coming
from Berlin the other day that during
the last Zeppelin raid on England the
bombs dropped by the airship had de-
stroyed a British cruiser OF the Caro-
line class, and a couple Of torpedo-boat
destroyers. An official denial is also
given to the Teutonic claim that a
British cruiser was torpedoed OF the
Dogger Bank in the North Sea.
Commenting upon the last German
frightfulness pronuncimento, declaring
that in future German submarines will
treat British merchantmen found
armed exactly as IL they were war
ships, British papers characterize the
memorandum as another instance of
the piracy" INDUCED in by the Ger
man admiralty. Some of them, how
ever, are inclined to regard the docu-
ment rs huge bluff"
