Alleged secret instruction by the

High officials of the state depart

the development broadtenough to war
rant the claim that the fundamental
questions involved in the conduct Of
submarine warfare have been settled
in accordance with the contentious
Of the United States.
This is based on the belief that
with Germany and Austria. Hungary
giving notice that they will sink,
without warning, all armed ships, the
government cannot legally claim the
right to sink unarmed vessels. That

In view of this situation, American
citizens, it is stated, by high author
ity, now may be warned that they
will take passage aboard armed mer-
chant ships at their own risk, and be
entitled to no more protection from
the United States than if they had
embarked upon belligerent warship.
Officials today seemed not to be
able to concede that any issue could
arise in the future from a submarine
warfare conducted under these rules.

EXCHANGE VIEWS
Non-P Partisan Army Increase Bill

QUICK ACTION URGED

Washington, Feb. 10.-Republcans
OF the house military committee as.
sured President Wilson today that a
strong army increase bill drafted in
a non-partisan spirit and accomplish.
ing all the main objects sought by the
war departments plan, would be on

that the committee practically was
unanimously opposed to the depart

Of the committee, the republicans

Today's conference was described

The only difference OF opinion was on
the question OF the continental army

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1916-02-11
Held Different Views.

Upon the contention on the one
hand that the continental army or ul-
timately universal service was the ma
tons only. reliance and the position
on the other that no one plan could
be forced upon congress, President
Wilson and his secretary of war part
ed official company.
Mr.. Garrison's resignation was q
complete surprise to official Wash
ington generally. He made no per.
sonal explanation. Several hours be.
fore the official announcement he had
boarded train with his wife for New
York, and word had been passed at
the department that he had gone for
an indefinite stay.
The acute differences of opinion
which led to the break began early in
the year, when opposition to the con.
tinental army plan began developing
in congress. There had keen indefi-
mite rumors of the possibility of the
secretary of war leaving the cabinet,
but they never were continent in OIL
cial quarters. The secretary every.
where was regarded as one of the
strong men Of the administration, up.
on whom the president leaned in the
difficult situations, both domestic and
international, which have marked his
administration.
Correspondence Made Public.
The circumstances which led up to
q 1oa IN hn
secretary's correspondence with the
president, which was made public to-
night by the White House. The pres.
ident, the letters disclosed, believed
the training, organization and control
of military reserve should be under
immediate federal direction, but is
not "irrevocably or d0gmatically COM
mitted to any one plan" He wrote
Mr.. Garrison that he could not force
any specific plan on congress, and
added: II must welcome frank ex-
change of views and patient and
thorough comparison of all the meth
DDS proposed for obtaining the object
We all have in view."
Mr.. Garrison's contention that only
the plans of the war department
could be considered seemed to the
president wholly unjustMable." Mr..
Garrison considered reliance upon
the militia for national defense an
unjustifiable imperiling of the ma
tons safety
Opposes Philippine Bill.
I'm resigning, he wrote the prest.
dent:
at is evident that we hopelessly
disagree upon what l conceive to b0
fundamental principles
Mr.. Garrison characterized tho
Clark amendment to the Philippine
bill, providing conditionally for the
independence of the Islands within
four years, an abandonment OF the
duty of this nation-a breach of trust
toward the Filipinos." The president
replied it was his judgment that tho
Clark amendment was ''unwise 1T
this time," but added: ''It would
clearly be most inadvisable for me to
take the position that l must dissent
from that action should both houses
of congress concur in z bill emhody.
ing that amendment"
He said he must withhold judo.
