CAUSED BY FlbHT
ON CONTINENTALS
SECRETARY OF WAR RESIGNS
FROM CABINET.
President's Refusal to Declare IrreYoeably
for Plan Leads
to Breach.
Washington, Feb. 10.?Secretary
Garrison resigned today because Pres- !
ident Wilson would not "irrevocably"
support the continental army plan
and because the secretary of war opposes
the administration's program
of setting a definite time for Philippine
independence. President Wilson
-accepted the resignation and has not
selected a successor. The president
himself probably will take persona] 1
charge of the administration's national
defense plans in congress.
Assistant Secretary Breckinridge
also resigned as a mark of loyalty to
"his chief, whose views he shares. The j
president accepted his resignation, i
Both take effect immediately. Maj.'
Cen. Scott, chief of staff of the army, J
automatically becomes secretary of j
war ad interim.
It is known that one of Secretary !
Garrison's principal reasons for his;
conviction that only a federal continental
army, instead of a reorganized
national guard, could be the main milatarv
dPTiPTidence of the nation was the
4VWA ^
I
belief that some day the United States
may be called upon to defend the Monroe
doctrine and in that event he
foresaw that the National Guard might j
not be available for use outside the
United States before a declaration of
war.
The Breaking Point.
Upon that contention, on the one I
iand, that the continental army or
ultimately universal service was the
nation's only reliance, and the plan
-cou-ld be enforced upon congress,
President Wilson and his secretary of
war parted official company.
Mr. Garrison's resignation was a
complete surprise to Official Washington
generally. Ht made no personal
explanation. 'Several hours before the
official announcement he had boarded
a train with his wife for New York
and word had been passed at the war
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 apposition to tne j
<x>ntinental army plan began developing
in congress. There had been indefinite
rumors of the possibility of
the secretary leaving the cabinet, buf
they never were countenanced in official
quarters. The secretary every- I
where was regarded as one of the
strong men of the administration upon
whom the president leaned in the difficult
situations both domestic and in- j
ternational which have marked his'
administration. The circumstances
which led up to the resignation are
detailed in the secretary's correspondence
with the president, which, was
made public tonight by the White
House.
Sot Committed to Plan,
The president, the letters disclosed,
believed that the training, organization
ard control of a military reserve
should be under immediate federal direction,
but was not "irrevocably
'" >1 ? + f/-k onv nnPi
or dogmaiicanv cumnuit^u t.v/
?)lan." He wrote Mr. Garrirson that
he could not orce any specivc plan j
on congress and added:
"I must welcome a frank interchange
of views and a patient and
thorougn comparison of all the methods
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 unjustifiable" Mr. Garrison
considered "reliance upon the militia
for national defense as unjustifiable
-and imperiling of t'ne nations safe ty."
!
In resigning he wrote the presi-;
dent: i
"it is ev^iei:! ;.::it we hopelessly
disagree : i on wha: . conceive to be ;
fundamental principles." j

Critical Juncture.
On January 12 Secretary Garrison
wrote the president, "We are facing a
critical juncture with respect to the
military part of the national defense
program" and declared he felt that
"unless the situation is dealt with
promptly and effectively we can indulge
in no reasonable expectation
of any acceptable result." He insisted
that tnere would be no substantial
solution which did not result in national
force under the exclusive conunH
anthnritv nf t.hA national SfOV
ernment.
This is distinct line elevage, Mr.
Garrison held, between reliance upon
a system of State troops and reliance
upon national forces. "Upon this subject."
'ne said in his letter to the
president, '\here does not exist and
there can not legitimately exist, any
difference of opinion among those who
are unbiased and who believe in real
national security and defense."
He declared that of a policy based
upon the reliance on State troops was
adopted "not only had no advance
been made from the deplorable and
inexcusable situation in w'nich we
have so long been, but an effective
1 1 - 1 - 1 ^ o nwAn c fVi Q
diock. naa ueen piaucu
pathway towards a proper settlement."
The secretary severely criticised
the National Guard plans of Chairman
Hay of the house committee on military
affairs.
"In my judgment t'ne effect of the
enactment of Mr. Hay's program
would be to set back the whole cause
of legitimate, honest national defense
in an unjustifiable and inexcusable
way. It would be in my judgment a
* - < J. _ C a"l _ -i ^

I this regard. It would be illusory and
apparent without any reality or substance.
! Two Bad Factors.
| "There is, unfortunately, very little
; knowledge and very little intense personal
interest in any of the members
! of the house concerning military affairs."
Mr. Garrison declared further that
Mr. Hay had the power of dealing
with a subject concerning which "the
rest of tne house has no knowledge
and about which it has never concerned
itself" and sugggested that Mr.
Hay's proposal of settling this matter
by -voting money to the members of
State troops appealed to "the direct
personal, political interest of the
members."
Mr. Hay's proposal to include a
riraft nrnvision so that at t'ne outbrrak
of war the National Guard could be
brought under control of the national
.government was characterized by iMr.
Garrison as utterly failing to meet the
essential objections to the perpetuation
of a militia system. He insisted
the difficulty did not airse out of the
government not being able to take
over these troops, but out of its inability,
under the constitution, to pre
X1 iitiifrr in^ n C\n t T* A1
serve me ebbcuixui uunj auu
in officers, training and 'governing of
its military forces."
After an interview between the
president and Mr. Garrison on the
army plans the secretary again wrote
the president, specifically stating his
position. Tne president informed him
ihat Mr. Hay had told him a federal
volunteer system could not be obtained
and iha+ the same end could be
achieved by utilizing t'ne State troops
and making appropriation to pay the
States on condition that the federal
government control the militia.

(iauy Southern (iirls Help Their
Families by (Jardtning and Preserving
Products.
Nearly 50 000 girls in the 15 Southern
States were enrolled in 1915 in
the girls' canning clubs carried on cooperatively
by the State agricultural
colleges and the department. The purpose
o these clubs is to encourage
sirls from 10 to IS vears of aee to
grow tomatoes and other vegetables
in centh-acre gardens and to can their
products for home use or for sale.
These clubs are under the supervision
of nearly 400 women agents, who represent
jointly the Office of Extension
Work, South, of the States Relations
Service, and the extension departments
of tne several State colleges.
During the first year of membership,
those in charge find that caring
for one crop, preferably tomatoes, in
a tenth acre garden and selling or
canning the product, gives even a very
ambitious ffirl all the work slip ran
! do. In the second and later years,
| however, the girls are encouraged tc
raise two or three different kinds o]
vegetables in their plots and to extend
their canning operations, as
their skill grows, to other surplus products
of the farm, and especially tc
! the putting up of small fruits, orchard
fruits, and native wild fruits, whict
' make a palatable or marketable product
when processed. The principal
object of the club is to teac'n the girls
ihow to keep surplus fruits and vegetables
from going to waste, and bj
canning, to make them a valuable addition
to the food supply of the farir
I home, especially during winter.
| Many ambitious girls, however, noi
only put up enough canned goods anc
jars of fruit for home consumption
but make a tidy monetary profit be
! sides.
Many of the better trained clul
members, not content with the raising
: of gardens during the summer, hav<
j taken up winter gardening in localities
I where climatic conditions were suit
; able. Many of them are growing
such vegetables as spinach, cauliflow
er, lettuce, endive, asparagus. an<i eel
ery, some of which were entirely nev
to the girls who have taken them up
Here is the story of an ll-year-ok
Virginia club girl, who, on Xovembei
16, 1914, began a winter garden 2(
feet wide and 50 feet long, which was
a part of her tenth-acre garden, cul
! tivated the previous year. Spinach
! lettuce, radishes, rape, kaie, and mus
! tard were planted is November anc
I December, and in March and Apri
! potatoes and peas. She gathered ii
i all 357 pounds of vegetables and sole
; from her cold frame 700 collarc
| plants, 800 cabbage plants, and 400 to
mato plants. 'This crop was wortl
$17.Og and gave a profit of $14.25. Sh<
writes: "My mother has learned hov
i tn maVp a crrpat manv tiaxv rH<aVip.? ait
of the vegetables in my winter gar
den."
In addition nearly 3,000 girls no^
belong to poultry clubs having foi
their object the raising of chickens
and particularly the production o:
eggs for market.
Several hundred other girls, whos(
interest in cooking has been stimulated
by their canning experience
j have taken an active part in the breac
i making demonstrations of the besi

variant from biscuit and other ho;
breads.

Cut your Store Bi

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.

Discovery of the Mormon Bible. |
From time to time various prophets 1
. have arisen whose cleverness has
been the means of calling to their j
! | standard a sumcient nurnuer 01 xoi- i
i lowers to make their revelation im,
posing. The most striking example >
in our country was Joseph Smith, whfi I
came to be known as "the Mohammed I
of the West," the founder of the Mor- !
mon States. (
There must have been something I
exceptional in the man, for Smit'n was j
known in the little New York village j
of Manchester, where he resided, as
an idle, intemperate and illiterate
; i person, yet when he told his won!
j derful story of divine revelations and
the discovery of a new religion, he 5
- found many willing dupes.
t According to Smith's own account \
of bimself. his mind was at a very
, i early age exercised religiously, and
I that on the evening of September 21,
. 1S23, when he was but 18 years old,
5 i ahe angelMoroni appeared before
. | him as a messenger .from the Lord,
> instructing him in the secret purpose
[ of the Most High, and announcing the
L divine will to he that he, Smith,
should become a spiritual leader and
[ commander to the nations of the
; earth.
He claimed he was also told that
r there was a bundle-of golden or me
. tallic plates deposited in a Mil in |
{ Manchester which contained somelost
Biblical records, and with which were
t two transparent stones, set in the
1 rim of a bow of silver, which were
anciently known as the Urim and
. Thummin, asd that by looking through
these stones he could see the strange
3 characters cn the plates translated
r into English.
i These plates were about eight
3 inches long by seven wide, and a lit.
tie thinner than ordinary tin, and
y were bound together by three rings
. running through the whole. From
. these plates, with hieroglyphics in a
j language called the Reformed Egyptian,
Smith, sitting behind a blanket
j! hung across the room to keep the sac
r i red records from profane eyes, read
) off, tnrougn tne transparent stones,

it.
This volume of several hundred

tural pretentions, and are called by
2 the Mormons, the "three witnesses"
; In after years, however, these witnessj
es quarrelled with Smith, renounced
t Mormonism and avowed tne raisny 01
. their testimony.
As to the transcript on the paper,
r one of the golden plates having 'been
r submitted to Prof. Charles Anthon, of
; New York, for his inspection, that
f [ eminent scholar gave as his opinion
that the paper was a kind of scroll
x consisting of all kinds of crooked
. characters disposed in columns, and
had evidently been prepared by some
1 person who had before him at the
- 1
t time a book containing various aipnai
bets Greek and Hebrew letters, crosst
es and flourishes; Roman letters, in
verted or placed sidewise, were arranged
and placed in perpendicular
I columns, and the whole ended in a
ruled delineation of a circle, divided
into various compartments, decked
with various strange marks and evirfpntiv
nnnieri after the Mexican cal
,<endar given by Humboldt, but copied
,! in such a way as not to betray the
,1 source.
