cause Congress- Objects to His q,
Continental Army Plan.

Washington.--Secrstary Garrison re
signed his portfolio of secretary OF war
because President Wilson would not
'irrevocably' support the continental
army plan, and because he opposed
the administration's program Of setting
definite time for Philippine indie
pendance President Wilson accepted
the resignation and has not selected q
successor.
The president himself probably will
take personal charge Of the admins
tration's national defense plans in
congress. .9
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
also resigned as a mark of loyalty to
his chief. whose views he shares The
president accepted his resignation.
Both take effect Immediately. Major.
General Scott, chief of staff Of the
army. automatically becomes secre-
tary of war ad interim.
1t is known that one Of Secretary
Garrison's principal reasons for his
conviction that only federal conti
mental army instead of ,yeorganized
national guard, could be- main mil
itary dependence Of the nation was his
belief that some day the United States
may be called upon to defend the Mon.
roe doctrine, and in that event he
foresaw that the national guard might
not be available for use outside OF the
United States before declaration Of
war.
Upon that contention. on the one
hand. that the continental army. or
ultimately universal service, was the
nations only reliance and the position
ON the other that no one plan could be
enforced upon congress, President
Wilson and his secretary Of war part
ed official company.
Mr.. Garrison characterized the
Clarke amendment to the Philippine
bill providing conditionally for the in
dependence Of the islands within four
years, IAN abandonment OF the duty
of this nation and a breach of trust
for the Filipinos." The president re-
piled it was his judgment that the
Clarke amendment was s,iuwise at
this time" bat added 1T wcdTu~xearly
be most inadvisable for me to take the
position that / must dissent from that
action should both houses Of congress
concur in bill embodying that amend
ment until the final action was before
him in definite form"

Columbus.-C. M. Lollar, living near
here, has been shot and killed by John
Odum. Lollar was carried to the Co
lumbus Hospital in this city, where he
died as a result of his wounds.
The shooting occurred at the home
Of Odum, on the Lollar place, near

the county. A heavy load of birdshot
entered the abdomen of Lollar, inflict.
ing a terrible wound. Odum sustained
q pistol wound in the left leg. His In
jury is only slight.
The trouble between the two men is
said to have arose from dispute over
business matter. Odum was ten
ant on the Lollar place and 1t is said
was making preparations to move
away while still financially obligated
to his landlord. Lollar went to Odum' s
house to adjust the matter, where, II

that Lollar fired the first shot, and
other witnesses to the affair, 1t is
said, state that Odum fired first.
Both are men of families, and are

Memphis.-A monster meeting OF
Tennessee and Mississippi citizens to
be held here Feb. IL and Is will take
the initial step in selecting the route
for the proposed Jefferson Davis High
way, which will connect Memphis with

thousand citizens from that state.
The highway plan, which is fostered
by the Memphis Business Mems Asso-
citation, is to be built as memorial to

SEALS FRozE TO DEATH.
Body Of Missing Planter Of Ocean
Springs Is Found j

Springs Is Found.
Ocean SPRING. The mystery sur
rounding the death of A. v. Seals. a
wealthy elanter. was cleared when his
body was found In the woods, one
mile from the station at Fontaine-
bleau, where week before he left a
train to walk to his home, only short
distance from the station.
The body was found by searching
party from Ocean Springs, just one
mile from his home. The physicians
say Seals froze to death. 1t is evil
dent that the man lost his way In the
woods and was overtaken by fatigue
and cold after wandering about in
search OF his house. At an investiga.
tion here it was said that Seals had
been drinking the night he became
lost.
That Seals was frozen to death,
there is little doubt in the minds of
his friends. Feb. and 3 were the
coldest in Mississippi for years. 1t is
said. with temperatures well below
freezing.
This is the first time. so far as is
known, that anyone has died from ex-
treme cold in this section of the state.
The finding Of the body dispels the
cries Of foul play.

WILSON ASKS TARIFF BOARD
Presidents Plea Before U. s. Chamber
Of Commerce AppIauded-says We
Need Merchant Marine.

Washington. on.-President Wilson told
the chamber of commerce of the Unit
ed States at their meeting here that
America needed a real scientific tariff
board, and he thought it was going to
get 1t; that it needed real merchafr
marine, and that it was absolutely
necessary some beginning should be
made at once to get that, too, and that
had it not been for the effectiveness
of the federal reserv law as q busi-
mss preparedness measure there was
no telling what commercial disaster
would have overwhelmed the United
States with the present war. OF the
prospect for keeping the country at
peace, he said that while no tmmedi-
ate international crisis faced the ma
tions I'VE are merely holding trouble
at arms length. -.
The presidents reference to the tar
iff board and the merchant marine
were greeted with tumultuous ap-
plause by members OF the chamber and
their friends at dinner closing the
organization's annual convention. His
reference to his western tour also
evoked demonstration.
The president assailed the hardness
of American business men IN the past
to broaden their commercial vision be.
yond the boundaries OF this country.
The war, he said. had thrust Amer
lea into the economic leadership Of
the world" despite this. There were
many instrumentalities, however.
which America needed sorely. he said.
One of them related to the tariff.
I'VE ought to have real scientific
tariff board and ! think we are going
to have it." he said. He reiterated
his declaration that he had changed
his mind about the need Of this be-
cause world affairs had wholly altered
during the. past Is months. His great
est difficulty, he thought. would be in
obtaining men for the board who were
both capable and non-partisan.s

Petrograd.- I'D developments in the Ga

German attacks the Russians. have
now resumed the offensive. Their OBJ
iect is the capture of Czernowitz. cap

ROW OVER ARMED SHIPS
Take Passage on Them-EngIand
Will File Protest.

Washington.-The United States will
adopt the suggestion of the German
government and warn Americans not
to take passage on armed merchant
men.
Definite information that this is the
intention OF President Wilson and that
an announcement to this effect will
shortly be made by the state depart
ment was forthcoming from an au-
thoritative source.
In diplomatic circles discussion CEN
tered on the probability of the presi-
dent taking this course. and its in
evitable consequences. Even the most
conservative opinion holds that the
resultant situation will involve this
country in controversy with Great
Britain which may easily prove to be
the most troublesome and embamass-
ing of any the United States has yet
had to face.
No one conversant with the facts in
the case goes SO far as to forecast
anything more serious growing out of
the controversy than loss of foreign
trade. But that the United States
must expect to suffer seriously in this
respect II the German contention as
to armed merchantmen is upheld by
this government is considered inevita-
BILE by best informed statesmen.
This loss, 1t is pointed out, can be
inflicted on American commerce by re-
taliatory measures, which 1t must be
expected the allies will probably take.
II the United States prohibits the
clearance from its ports of armed
merchantmen the allies may be count
ed upon to reply by disseminating the
entrance into American ports of all
kinds OF their merchantmen. Denied
the use OF allied merchantmen. which
now carry almost all the foreign trade
Of the United States, the seriousness
of the loss may easily be calculated
