New York. Feb. 1o.-Col. George Hsr-
vey. editor OF the North American Re-
view. a very close friend Of Secretary
Garrison, said tonight:
1T is 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
Josephus Daniels left
Garrison resigned because he refused
to continue as a 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 Quarrel.
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
learned the Presidents purpose to ap-
point Davies from a Trustworthy source.
He hastened back to Washington and
called upon the President.
' I hear you are going to appoint Da-
vies governor general of the PhiIip-
pines7 demanded Garrison of the Presi-
dent. The Presisens biushed crimson.
Then he admitted: I had thought of
doing so. II Gov. Harrison insists upon
resigning.'
Well the Philippines are In my de-
partment. Send in Davis nomination and
take my resignation responded Garrison
AT least you might have consulted with
me before deciding on a man. added the
Secretary of War as he left the room,
The President did not name Davies be-
cause Garrison withdrew his resignation.

This Is but a sample OF the treatment
Garrison has received from the Presi-
dent Garrison is a great, big man, Fl.
Is the most independent member of the
administration. 1 presume constant af-
fronts such as that indicated In the pro-
posed Davies appointment have so
angered him that he has concluded to
quit Who can blame him7"
1T is said the President and Mr.. Gar
rison have had very serious differences
over the preparedness program That is
true, Garrison believes in a continental
army. The President has apparently
turned that proposition down.
Garrison quit because he would no

In consequence of this the State De-
partment is seriously considering the
advisability Of reversing its position
taken earlier in the war that armed
merchant ships cannot be attacked
without warning. and issuing general
warning to American travellers to keep
of armed liners.
Both Germany and Austria, through
their embassies here, have Informed
Secretary of State Lansing that in view
of the important development Of the
submarine as an instrument of marine
warfare and its vulnerabiIity. the CEN
traI powers have taken the position
that armed vessels cannot be regarded
except as auxiliary warships-
Not to Affect settlement.
officials of the State Department are
not inclined to believe that the new de-
Velopment will interfere with the final
settlement OF the Iiuistania eontro-
versy, which did not involve, in the de-
mands made by the United States, any
stipulation regarding protection Tor
armed ships. Originally Germany had
attempted justification of the Lusi-
tania attack on the ground that she
carried mounted guns, but when IL
WAS shown that she did not the conten-
tion was dropped.
Notice of the Intentions OF the feu-
tonic powers was first given dehniteiY
to Mr.. Lansing last Friday when
Count Won Bernstorf presented the
Berlin memorandum, which "substani-
sIIv" agreed to give the satisfaction
demanded in the Lusitania case. Oh
that occasion. 1t was learned last
night, the Ambassador presented an
otucr memorandum from his govern
ment, cautioning the United states
that the settlement of the Lusitania
case could not be accepted in any way
as pledging Germany not to attack
armed merchantmen without warning
and advising the Secretary that for-
NAL notification of Germany's inten-
tious could be expected before March
after which date German submarines
would attack and aim to sink all armed
enemy ships on sight.
May Abandon stand.
Austria's notification was presented
to the Secretary on Wednesday by
Baron Zwiedinek, charge of the Aus
trian embassy. 1t was along the lines
OF the memorandum presented by
Count Won Bernstorff.
While 1t Is realized in State Depart
nent circles that considerable embarrass-
ment might be caused the United states
by accepting the German position regard
ing the liability of armed merchant ships
to attack without warning. the feeling
has been for some time that the United
states should abandon It's earlier stand.
This feeling was clearly reflected in the
informal proposals sent to the allies
The embarrassment, II Is stated, would
arise from the fact that In refusing the
demand of Austria and the suggestion OF
Germany that an embargo be placed OF
the trafic in arms and ammunition be-
tween the United States and the entente
countries, the State Department took the
position that to make any change ir
rules during the progress Of the wal
which operate against one side or the
other would be breach Of neutrality.

COLONEL INFLUENCE
FRAMING PLATFORM
Americanism, Woman's Suffrage
And Other PIanks Are to
Be Prominent
UNITED Press Dispatch.l

Chicago, H., June 7.-Senators
Borah and Lodge will probably con-
troll the committee that is making the
republican national platform and will
put in a strong plank favoring uni
versal military training in the United
States. Americanism will be a leading
feature of the platform, it is under
stood. 1t is said that the platform will
also stand for an amendment to the
federal constitution giving the women
the ballot throughout the country.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's in
fiuence, it is said, will dominate the
making of the whole platform. The
following Roosevelt planks, it is said,
will go in: Woman suffrage, military
preparedness, Americanism, regula-
ton of child labor, regulation of
women's labor with minimum wage
scale, a tariff commission, the ex-
tension of American trade, the pro-
lection of Americans abroad and a
more aggressive foreign policy.
1t is understood that all the efforts
of the prohibitionists to have the re-
publican convention put in a prohibi-
ton plank will fail.
