Garrison's Resignation
Occurred Late Thursday

Washington, Feb. 11.-Secretary
Lindley M. Garrison resigned yester-
day because President Wilson could
not "irrevocably' support the conti-
mental army plan. and because he op-
poses the administrators program Of
setting definite time for Philippine
independence.
President Wilson accepted the res
ignation and has not selected a sue
cessor. The president himself prob
ably will take personal charge Of the
administration national defense
plans in congress.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
also resigned as a mark Of loyalty
to his chief, whose views he shared.
The president accepted his resigna-
ton. Both take effect Immediately.
Major General Hugh l.. Scott, chief Of
staff Of the army. automatically be-
comes secretary Of war ad interim.
1t Is known that one of Secretary
Garrison's principal reasons for his
tinental army. istead Of reorganized
national guard, could be the main
military dependence Of the nation
was his belief that some day the Unit
ed States may be called upon to de-
fend the Monroe doctrine and in that
event he foreSaw that the national
guard might not be available for use
outside Of the United States before g.
declaration OF war.
Upon the contention on the one
hand that the continental army, or
ultimately universal service, was the
nations only reliance, and the posi-
ton on the other that no one plan
could be enforced upon congress,

SAY THEY'RE SPORTS
REFUSE CHANGE

One Of the most daring robberies
committed in East Grand Forks for
many years was staged this morning,
shortly after 8 O'clock, by three boys.
aged 8, 9 and 10, of this city.
The three young lads: Boyd SC:
George, aged 9; Diamond Moen. eyed
10. and Orville Moen, aged 8. entered
8 o'clock and engaged in conversation
with Mrs. William Fairness, proprie-
tor of the store.
A short time later Mrs. Parness
found 1t necessary to use the tele-
phone for a short time, and turned
her hack to the three boys. While
she used the phone, one Of the boys
went behind counter, opened 4
drawer, and took out a pocketbook
en- hand to make change.
The boys then said they were going
ont to bring in some wood for Mrs.
Fairness. and Immediately left the
place. She, however, knew that no
wood had been kept outside and be-
came suspicious. She thought noth-
ing more of the matter, however, un-
IT, some time later. when she looked
for her pocketbook and found it miss
Ing.
She Immediately notified the East
Grand Forks police department.. and
a search was made for the young lads.
The three boys. in the meantime. had
sone to the Northern Pacific railway
bridge. where they counted the mon
ey. $50 of which was in cash. The
rest. which was in checks Of small de.
nominations, they hid under the edge
Of coal shed near the railroad bridge
in Grand Forks.
Real Sports.
They then crossed the bridge and
went directly to q Grand Forks dry
goods store, and each one picked out
pair CT mittens for himself. The to-
tai amount of the purchase was only
o tr!fie over a dollar. and they hand
ed the clerk a s bill in payment. When
the clerk started to make change for
the DILL, oIta of the boys spoke up: 3
"1ccp the schange-we're sports-
we've got lots of money" at the same
time. taking a wad of bills from his
pocket.
The clerk became suspicious and in
vited the lads into another depart
;nent 10 sell them some "tossel caps"
I7stead. however, he escorted them
J into the office and called the prop-i-
etor OF the establishment, who noti-
fled tho Grand Forks police depart
ment.
The East Grand Forks department
was notified and Chief Albert Hurst
! made hurried trip to this side and
arrested the boys.
The lads have been released from
custody on parole, and II their good
behavior warrants it, they will be al.
lowed to remain free.
