Liudl-y NJ. Garrison RS gD"d the
Nicc-chancellorsh,p Of Sew Jersey ON
March :. 1913. to become secretary Of
War in President Wilson'S cabinet. Mr.
Garrison knew no m re- of military mat
tiers than the average lawyer. but he
plunged into tn. business with such ac'l
that the army Vu,chly accepted him -
"A real leader
From the outset Mr. Garrison proved
himself to b. "A builder and "A nCh',r.
He had been in Office only "A few Nr"hs
when he told IN" pubic trarkly hat
the United States army would pray"
all but "A ueglig.hlc quant.ty ~ case OF
invasion. lie later expressed himself on
the Philippine question with zig -. en-.
tering into "A bitter >crh1i cJ't,~i with
ex-Presldent TAFT, and rts~,."a "I an
extensive military showing along he
Mexican border,
Il was many years since nor" had
been so vigorous a man as Secretary
OF War except Elihu Root a'i the
country began to feel il, Nj Garrison
advocated IL bigger army II" urged
better 'qu pmcnt. lie prulN IsSali'I
members of congress for not making
their appointments to the Military
academy a West Point
In the nature Of things it was almost
inevitable that Mi Garrison should for
mulatc n plan for tn" runplet" revision
of the United States army, For two
years he limited that such was his pur-
pose. Not unt!l November =. 1915, how
ever. did he make known the plan for
army extension on which he would
stand,
Then he declared himself for IA reg
ular army of enlisted men and officers
to number iAl,s+3. supplemented by "A
/ force Of 100 900 men raised at the rate
+ 1873. 900 "A year. ~" favored In addi-
'iun n much larger appropriation for the
National Guard.
When Mr. Bryan resigned from the
'Hbinet and Nr. Garrlson's name was
mentioned AZ his successor The irniy
and Nary JonrHdl said
eft viii b. akiu to- a disaster to tn.
army 10 have Mr., Garrison transferred
tn another Department. Mi. Garrison
not only enjoys the confidence OF the
service but the confidence Of the cuun-
try. lie has undertaken the great work
Of FORMULATING a new military policy.
and this II AS important even as the
handling OF the delicate diplomatic sit
uation in the present crisis, Ills work
VIII be monumental in it's character and
will create "A new epoch IN the military
policy of the country.
II was well known that Mr., Garrison
did not get along well with Mr., Bryan.
1t WAS also we'll known that he did not
rotary Of the Navy. Yet MIR. Garrison
has frequently declared that he was not
"A militarist and never would be one,
