GARRISON AND
BRECKENRIDGE RESIGN

Lindley M. Garrison, Secretary
of War, resigned his portfolio
Thursday because President Wilson
would not "irrevocably" support
the continental army plan and be-
cause he opposes the adminsitra-
TONS program of setting a definite
time for Philippine independence.
President Wilson accepted the re-
signation. The President himself
probably will take personal charge
of the administration defense
plan in Congress. Assistant Secre-
tary Henry Breckenridge also re-
signed as a mark of loyalty to his
chief, whose views he shared.
