the papers today. The Free Press
carried report that August Kastella,
mechanical superintendent OF dredges
in the department OF public works,
had been asked to resign. He IS said

Press asserted that Kastella was
naturalized only after the outbreak
Of the war and that his resignation
was asked as a result of the aglta'
ton against the employment OF Ger.
mans in public services. Kastella Is
said to have refused to resign.

NEW SECRETARY
NAMED TOMORROW
Il Is Expected That President Wilson
viii Make Announcement
on Monday.

II limited Press Leased Wire Service. /
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The May
flower is cruising on Old Point Com
fort tonight. Wireless dispatches say
6H's well with the president and Mrs.
Wilson. The dispatches however,
carry no news OF the presidents do
cisfon regarding q successor to Sec
rotary Of War Garrison.
1t is understood the president will
announce his selection Monday. He
will return to Washington tomorrow.
The day brought little light on the
question OF the cabinet vacancy. It
continued to be the concensus OF
opinion that either Secretary Lane or
Secretary. Houston would be put in
Garrison's place.
The new war secretary will not be
military man, it was semi-officially
stated tonight, disposing of the re-
ports that General Goethals was be-
ing considered. Many congressman
and senators have expressed opinion
that Gcethals would be an acceptable
man, but 1t has rather definitely been
indicated the Panama engineer is not
the man uppermost in the presidents
mind.
Numerous letters, cablegrams and
telephone messages on the subject
from the capitol and from, different
parts Of the country were received at
the white house. Most OF them in
dicated that the presidents accept
ance Of his war secretary's resigna-
ton, would tend to strengthen mater
tally the preparedness forces in con-
sress A democratic leader said to-
night representations would be made
next week to Leader Claude Kitchin,
asking him to bring his democratic
forces together on a compromise pro-
gram of preparedness that will meet
with the demands Of the country. All
but few of the more radical anti
preparedness democrats are expected
to fall into line.
Representative Page, Of North Car
DINA, 1t is rumored, will carry the
news to Leader Kitchin that the
democratic members of congress want
to unit their forces on a reasonable
program and join the president In dis
posing OF the issue in as brief time
as possible.
The fear that the naming Of some
one outside the cabinet, whose views
on national defense are known, might
again throw congress into indecision
on a preparedness program, Is said to
be one Of the things guiding the pres
fdent in determining his choice.
