Vrovtstoms of Continental Army TUi, :
f Washington, Fob. (X, K. &.) Secretary of , "War Garrison's "contl
nental army plan,' tbe prospective failure of which has: been (riven aa his
reason for resigning from the cabinet, provided for the raising of a cltl
sen army of 400,000 men to supplement the regular army. It was to be
recruited in Increments of 113.000 men "a year.
i -lia recruits were to om oousea w
. a period of three years and then to
cepting to return to the colors la tne event of war or threatened war.
. He proposed to recruit the continental army territorially, according to
population, and to have it subjected to two months intensive training each
year for three years.- Officers were to be obtained largely from the nation
al guard, from the regular army list, and - from the various military
school and were to be paid, on the basis of regular army officers.
The continental army plan immediately came Into conflict with the na
tional guard system and met with violent opposition on the part of sup
porters of th latter In congress.
- Washington, Feb. 11-U. N. 8.)
The first of the preliminary cor res-
- pondence leading up to the resigna
tion of Secretary of War Garrison is
a letter by Mr. Garrison dated January
15. He wrote: .:
"War Department, Washington, Jan.
12,' 11. My dear Mr. President:
"In my judgment we are facing a
critical juncture with - respect to tae
military part of the national defense
program.
"L am convinced that unless the sit
uation is dealt with promptly and ef
fectively, we .can indulge In no rea
' eonable expectation of any acceptable
- result-
Opposes Stats Troops Flan.
-"The policy recommended to you and
. adopted by you, squarely placed the
nation upon the sure foundation of na
tional forces. If that policy is made
effeative by legislation there will be
secured to this country for the first
time a real, stable foundation for the
military 'part of its national defense.
"If. however, instead thereof, a pol
icy is adopted, based on state troops

tbe pathway toward a proper settle
ment. The adoption of such a policy
would serve to delude the people Into
believing that the subject had been
settled and therefore required no fur
ther consideration upon their part.
It would, therefore In my judgment,
be infinitely worse than an entire fail-

the subject. The latter would at least
leave it open for future settlement.
''I, of course, am not advised 1 as to
the settlements of intention made by
Mr. Hay to you in the conversations
held with you prior to your message to
congress at the opening of the pres-
ent session. I have always felt, and
nave so expressed myself to you, that
the situation in congress was such that
unless you personally exerted the
power of your leadership, you would
not obtain any worthy results in this
matter. Mr. Hay baa now made open
- declaration of his intention.

your message. With respect to the
regular army, he does not purpose

."He purpose adding a few thou

of the army in its present organisa
tion, the adding of a few regiments
of field artillery to the existing or
ganizations of the regular army, the
' entire abandonment of the idea of
a federal lorce or national volun
' .teera, and the passing of a bill
granting federal pay to the enlisted
rien and officers of state troops.
"In my Judgment the effect Of the
enactment of Mr. Hay's program
would be to set back the whole caus

fense in an entirely unjustifiable anl

"If. on the other hand, they are
clearly and unmistakably advised that
to adopt the policy suggested by Mr.
Hay is to make a mockery of all that
was worthy and virtuous In the pro
posal of a proper military policy, and
that it Is a delusion to consider such
a solution as a real reliance or secur
ity, then there is hope that we can ob
tain results commensurate with the
necessities of the ease and with a self
respecting consideration and treat
ment thereof. ,
Asks Wilson to Declare Himself.
"I cannot therefore too strongly urge
upon you my view of the comparative
necessity of your seeking an occasion
at the earliest possible moment to de
clare yourself with respect to the mat
ter, and in doing so. to make It clear
beyond peradventure that nothing ex
cepting national forces, raised by the
nation and subject to this exclusive
authority, responsibility and control Is
any real settlement 'of this Issue.
"Sincerely yours,
XINDLKT M. GARRISON."
"The president."
Again Writes the President,
Following this there was evidently
a conversation between Secretary Gar
rison and the president, after which
the secretary wrote:
"War department, Washington, Jan.
14. 1916, My Dear Mr. President:
"What you said today by way of
response to my letter of the 12 th re
quires me to make my position per
fectly clear to you.
"You stated that Mr. Hay told you
that your proposal of federal volun
teers could not be procured and that
the same end for which you were striv
ing could be procured by other means
by utilizing the state troops as the
basis of the policy and making appro
priations of pay to the state, condi
tioned on federal control of tine state
troops.
"You stated to him that you were
not interested In any particular pro
gram or means of accomplishing the
purpose of securing the men, and
would accept his proposal If It ac
complished that purpose.
Proposals Diametrically Opposed.
"Since the policy, that was recom
mended to you and adopted by you dis
carded as absolutely impossible, a mil
itary system based upon state troops,
and asserted that the only possible
basis for a military policy was na
tional forces. It is entirely clear that
the proposals are diametrically op
posed to each other and are irreconcil
able. "Those who are oonsclentlusly con
vinced that nothing but national forces
can properly be the basis of a policy
of national defense, cannot possibly
accept a policy based upon state
forces. It not only does not In Itself
offer an acceptable solution, but acts
to prevent any proper solution.
"If those Who are thus convinced
re faced with the necessity of declar
ing their position on the matter, thav
can only sjhow their sincerity and good
faith by declining to admit the possi
bility of . compromise with respect to
this essentia, fundamental principle.
Garrison Polly Convinced.
"I am thus convinced. I , feel that
we are challenged by the existing sit
uation to declare ourselves promptly,
openly and unequivocally, or be
charged properly with lack of sincer
ity and good faith. We cannot hope
to see our program, based on this es
sential principle. Succeed If we admit
the possibility of compromise with re
spect to It. 0
Tours, Is the ultimate responsibil
ity; youra l the final determination
as to the manner in which the altu
ation shall be faced and treated. I
fully realize this, and do not desire to
cause you the slightest embarras
m ent on my account. ir. therefore, my
withdrawal from the situation would
eeve you, you should not hesitate
for a moment on that account.
"Sincerely yours, , '
"LINDUSY M. GARRISON."

The president replied: '
"The White House, Washington, Jan.

"Cordially and sincerely, yours,

"Hon. Undley M. Garrison, Secretary

WILSON LOOKS
FOR IDEAL MAM
FOR SECRETARY
(Continued From Page One.)
Uoned today as possible successors
to Secretary Garrison were:
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the
Interior.
Franklin Roosevelt, assistant secre
tary of the navy.
Representative Swagar Sherley. ,
Henry M. PlndelL editor of the Peo
ria Journal.
Senator George E. Chamberlain of
Oregon.
Secretary of Agriculture Hustoh, ,
Presidential Secretary Tumulty.
Wilson to Tackle Problems.
Up to the present President Wilson
has paid but slight attention to indi
viduals. Officials closest to the ad
ministration Insist that the president
is determined to handle the problem
of placing the army on a proper foot
ing personally. Garrison's successor,
therefore, must be In. entire accord
and sympathy with the president's
plans.
While Garrison's continental army
plan was on the rocks when the break
came, reports generally accepted here
were to the effect that behind the sec
retary of war's resignation was his
advocacy of compulsory military serv
ice. President Wilson took the posi
tion that no scheme of compulsion
should be advocated In this country,
but that the volunteer system should
be developed to tbe limit. Acceptance
by the government of compulsory mil
itary service, the president pointed
out, would directly violate democratic
principles.
Politics Hot Involved.
White House officials today said
that President Wilson hoped to select
a successor to Secretary Garrison be
fore the news of hie resignation was
given to the public. This was impos
sible, however, because Mr. Garrison
resigned and left immediately far New
York with Mrs. Garrison.
Friends of Garrison and the' presi
dent both deny that politics had any
thing to do with the secretary of war's
resignation. Close friends of Garrison
say reports that he is desirous of be
coming a candidate for governor of
New Jersey are untrue. When a propo
sition to this effect was recently made
by New Jersey Democrats to Garrison
he answered;
"I have had all the politics I want.
When I retire from- the cabinet X shall
practice law.'
Mo Rum Done, Is Belief .
Scores of letters and telegram were
received at the White House today, ex
pressing belief that the resignation

will not harm the administration.
General Scott, chief of staff, today
was acting as secretary of war. Last
November the president Issued an or
der that Scott should be acting secre
tary whenever Garrison and ' Brecken
rldge were temporarily absent. The
present situation can hardly be classed
as such and belief is expressed that
a new order may be Issued.
Wilson Cautioned Garrison.
Though there had been rumors that
Garrison intended to quit because of
the apparent failure of the continental
army plan he advocated, the Immediate
cause of his resignation Is believed to
have been the-following note from the
president, regarding the speech the
secretary was scheduled to make last
night before the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States:
"You should feel no hesitation about
expressing your personal views on both
subjects (preparedness and Philippine
independence), but X hope you will be
kind enough to draw very carefully the
distinction between your Individual
views and those of the administra
tion." f
Correspondence between the presi
dent and Garrison revealed that the
president was not "irrevocably" com
mitted to the continental army plan.
Garrison, on the other hand. Insisted
that this was the only means of pro
viding proper defense. At the same
time, he was opposed to the Clarke
amendment to the Philippine bill.
Whereby Independence would be grant
ed the islands m two to four years.
Garrison, too, objected to the plan
of Chairman Hay of the house mili
tary committee, whereby the militia
would be federalized. This scheme,
he suggested to be "mockery," while at
tbe same time declaring that most of
the members of congress did not have
the vital interest In military affairs
