out of business.
In the last few years some nineteen
Virginia concerns had retired, un-
able to compete with the product OF
the penitentiary inmates, Operators
of establishment engaged in overall
making were paying their help any
where from 81 to 81 a day. The con-
vict contractors had to pay no rent
no power charges, no light charges,
and no supervision; no taxes were
paid by them, and yet they competed
with women in the manufacture of
oveEals, shirtwaists and the like.
Delegates from rural and urban Vir-
ginia staged another act of the peren-
NAL drama of rivalry between these
two factions, in the form of a pro-
longed debate, yesterday on House
bill No. 121, which proposes to apply
to road maintenance the revenue from
the automobile tax applied under the
present law to the construction of
new roads and bridges.
After voting down. every amend
ment offered by the representatives
of Norfolk and other cities looking to
distribution Of the automobile tax
that would insure to the cities some
degree of benefit from this revenue,
the House, shortly before adjourn
ment, attached an amendment to the
bill which provides that whenever the
State Highway Commissioner and
the local Board of Supervisors dis
agree as to the manner of applying
the fund locally, the opinion of the
supervisors shall rrcvail. The amend
ment was introduced by Delegate
Gordon, of Louisa, and adopted by a
vote of Sc to SO.
After a discussion extending over
two hours. in which the matter was
considered from. every angle. the
Senate Committee onB Moral and SO.
cial Welfare voted unanimously in
favor of the section in the Mapp pro-
hibition bill which provides that the
prohibition law shall be enforced un-
der the superintendent of a special
commissioner.

POLICY OF AMERICA
Great Britain and Her Allies Aver
That They Will Not Yield Right to
Arm Merchantmen.

London, Feb. ll.-New issues, as
grave as those revolving about the
sinking of the Lusitania, may arise
between the United States and the
central powers as Il result Of the Ger
man announcement that all enemy
armed merchantmen will be treated
as warshps and torpedoed without
warning after February 20.
Austria, according to an Amster-
dam dispatch today, has handed to
the American ambassador at Vienna
note almost Identical in text with
the German communication.
1t is stated on reliable authority
that England and her allies under
no circumstances will yield the right
to arm merchantmen for defensive
purposes, practice recognized by
all nations. 1t is not believed here
that the United States, having al
ready recognized this right, will
change her policy in the middle of a
great war.
Should German or Austrian sub
marine, acting under the new instruc-
tions. torpedo without warning and
sink q British or French liner. car
rying American passengers. the
United States, it is believed here. will
take prompt and decisive action.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE United
States Government IS giving inmeG-
late consideration to the question of
amending its regulations regarding
armed merchantmen to square with
the action of Germany and Austria in
giving notification that after March
! they will consider armed ships OF
the enemy as auxiliary cruisers.
1t was stated on high authority to-
day that tha United States cannot
protest the announced sea- policy of
the central powers to sink armed
merchantmen without warning. since
the Gcrmanic allies are putting in
force policy virtually suggested by
the United States in its recent pro.
pOsalS to the belligercnts.

you have felt constrained to take
sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON,
Hon. Lindley NJ. Garrison
Secretary of War.

The resignation of Mr.. Garrison and
Mr. Breckinbridge leaves MAJ, Gen.
Hugh L. Scott. chief of staff, the head
of the War Department until new
Secretary is appointed.
Mr.. Garrison had accepted an m
vitation to expound his views yester-
day on national defense before the
National Chamber of Commerce, now
in session here. In anticipation Of this
speech he wrote the President a letter
Wednesday, suggesting that if he was
not in fundamental agreement with
him on army and Philippine legisla-
ton, he could not with propriety7
remain his seeming representative III
respect thereto. Mr. Garrison called
on Mr.. Wilson to express his final de-
termination on both questions, so
that l may act advisedly in the pre-
misses"
The President curtly replied yes
terday. admonishing Mr.. Garrison IN
all of his utterances to draw very care
fully "the distinction between your
own individual views and the views OF
the administration"
Nh. Garrison thereupon immedla-
teIy wrote his resignation.
New York, Feb. l1--Col George.
Harvey, editor of the North Amerf-
can Review, very close friend of
Secretary Garrison said last night:
at is a great misfortune that the
ablest member of the Cabinet should
have been called upon to resign. But,
thank God, we have the Honorable
and only posephus Daniels left.
Garrison resigned because he re-
fused to continue as clerk under
President Wilson. There have been
many clashes between the President
and the Secretary of War since the
administration took hold in 1913.
"The first real quarrel, however, oc-
Cured when the President sought to
make Joseph Davies governor general
Of the Philippines to succeed Francis
Burton Harrison. Garrison was in
Ohio looking after the floods at the
time He lealned the Presidents pur-
pose to appoint Davies from trust
worthy source He hastcned back TO
Washington and called upon the
President.
81 hear you are going to appoint
Davies governor general of the Philip
pines?' demanded Garrison of the
President. The President replied. Il
had thought of doing so. if Gov. Har-.
rison insists upon resigning.'
well, the Philippines are in my de-
partment Send in Davies nomination
and take my resignation responded
Garrison At least you might have
consulted with me before deciding on
4 man., added the Secretary of War
as he left the room. The President
did mot name Davies because Garri-
son withdrew his resigsation.
"This is but sample of the treat
ment Garrison has received from the
President.
"1t is said the President and Mr..
Garrison have had very serious diff
ferences over the preparedness pro-
gram. That is true. Garrison believes
in a coneinental army. The Presi-
dent has apparently turned that pro-
position down.
Garrison quit because he would no
longer be a. clerk to the President"
