Apropos of journalistic enthusiasm.
Mr.. Arnold Bennett furnishes humor-
Gus illustration. He was twenty and
a reporter for a small paper. An cleo

brewer had won. His editor had

he thought the nation not ready for
such proposal at this time.
He has repeatedly said both public
ly and in private that he was SO full
OF the subject of preparedness and Of
the need for it as a result Of his stu
dies. that he dreamed of it at night
and it was with him every waking
moment.
The only organized opposition to
Mr.. Garrison's proposals for the army
outside of congress has come from
members Of the national guard. Dur
Ing committee hearings it was disclos-
ed that the secretary had offered to
give his support to a militia pay bill,
plan Of which he disapproved in
principle. If the guardsmen would
support his proposals for the conti-
nentals.
Against Pay Bills.
The secretary later made public
letter to Chairman Chamberlain Of the
senate military committee, declaring
himself against the pay bills after the
guardsmen had assailed the continent
al plan.
Mr.. Garrison is understood to have
been one of those cabinet members
who have stood most firmly for the
declaration Of the nations rights in
the deliberations that have resulted
from the Lusitania incident and the
interruption of American commerce
with neutral nations of Europe. Mr..
Garrison has himself declined posi-
lively to discuss any matter relating
to cabinet meetings.
When American troops were sent to
Vera Cruz to relieve Admiral Fletch-
er's marines and sailors, Secretary
Garrison worked day and night in an
effort to prepare the army for war in
Mexico If that was to come. The
echoes Of the steps he took then to
insure . prompt response by the ma
tional guard in case Of need, and to
provide for supplies and army equip
ment in advance of the call for them,
still reach Washington occasionally.
Start Campaign.
In conducting the affairs of the
war department Secretary Garrison
has started a campaign of decentrali-
zation which is yet to be completed.
His theory is that greater efficiency
will come from lodging responsibility
directly with commanding officers.

The president is said to have agreed
reluctantly to accept the resignation,
but was forced to the conclusion that
he must meet Mr.. Garrison's wishes If
the latter desired to leave the cabinet.

Of President Wilson's cabinet to re-
sign. The first, Justice McReynolds,

as any two proposals on the subject

as any two proposals on the subject
possibly can be.
"Mr. Hays proposal to include a
draft or compulsory provision SO that
at the outbreak or war the nation
would bring under its control these
state troops, utterly fails to meet the
essential objections to the perpetua-
tion Of the militia system.
Inability of Nation.
THE difficulty to be dealt with does
not arise out of the government not
being able to take over these troops
in the event of war, but arises out If
to have the essential unity of -espon-

raising, differing. training and gov
