Wilson, He Handed In
His Raaignation.
Washington—Secretary Lindley M.
Garrison resigned because President
Wilson would not "Irrevocably" sup-
port the continental army plan and be-
cause he oppose* the administration's
program uf setting a definite time (or
Philippine Independence.
President Wilson accepted the resig-
nation and hus not selected his suc-
cessor. The president himself prob-
ably will take personal charge of the
administration's national defense
plans in congress.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge al-
so resigned as a mark of loyalty to his
chief, whose views he shared. The
president accepted his resignation.
Both take effect Immediately. Major
General Hugh Scott, chief of staff of
the army, automatically becomes sec-
