Refused to Comppomise.

In sources close to Mr.. Garrison it is
reported here today that the secretary
accepted the continental army idea
only after having been informed by
Chairman Hay of the House committee
on military affairs last fall that com
pulsory service or universal service
and a large standing army could not
pass and that there was serl-
Gus doubt whether even his continent
tai army plan could win MIR. Hay is in
charge Of the army legislation in the
House and Mr.. Garrison naturally
looked to him for advice on the pros
poets of army legislation in that body.
Later, members of congress
came to Washington to attend the
present session and Mr.. Garrison was
| repeatedly informed by them that an
adequate army plan would receive their
| support, Mr.. Garrison began to doubt
the suggestions of Mr.. Hay. When in
the meantime Representative Kitchin,
| the democratic leader of the House.
came out against preparedness and Mr..
Hay himself espoused a plan of in
creasing the state militia n placing
it on pay, Mr.. Garrison declined to
compromise further.
Shows Democrats Divided.
The retirement of Mr.. Garrison at
this time emphasizes the exact situa-
ton in the democSatic ranks in con-
gress on national defense. Thus far
that policy has lacked leadership as
to any detailed policy. AS indicated
by the secretary in his letter to the
president, charges of ~'insincerity' al
ready have been made, Representa-
| tive cannon having inquired in the
| House this week whether the admin
istration meant business on prepared
ness or was merely playing politics.
| There is no reason, so far as known, to
| justify the ~insinuatior of Mr.. Cannon.
but the lack of unity among the demo-
| cratic leaders in and out of congress
! has aroused fighting leaders like Mr..
| Garrison.
Hay Writes Wilson.
President Wilson today received a
letter from Chairman Hay. OF the
House military committee, assuring
him of the desire of the committee to
work in harmony with him in perfect
ing the plans for national defense.
The letter was sent in compliance
with a resolution adopted by the COM
mittee thanking the president for his
| confidence expressed in his published
correspondence with former Secretary
Garrison.
The letter follows:
Il have been instructed by the com
mittee on military affairs of the House
of Representatives to convey to you the
very great appreciation which the com :
mittee feels for the confidence which
you have shown in it's good faith and
| patriotism and TO assure you Of it's de-
sire to work in harmony with you in
