RESIGNATION HITS
CAPITAL LIKE BOMB
All Folitical Wuhington Astounded
by Garriioa't Quitting War
Office.
CABINET DISINTEGRATION 05
Prom a Stuff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. Feb. 11. (Spe
cial Telegram.) The resignation of
Secretary of War Garrlaon and As
sistant Secretary Breckinridge from
the Wilson cabinet came like a
thunderclap. All political Washing
ton la astounded.
Army machinery Is shot Into
smithereens and tn plans of Mr.
Garrison for a real vital first defense
force In the line of preparedness Is
knocked into a cocked-hat.
What Is behind this resignation
will be the first question, first the
opposition of the thinking people In
he army to grant freedom to the
Philippines In a given number of
' jcars and known as the Clarke
amendment.
Oae ml Ablest ml Caalael.
ecrclsry Oaniaon, one of the ablest
If not the ablest member of the Wilson
ablnet. hal made a study of the Philip
pines end could not so as fr as his
party In giving; the Filipinos Independence
I 'any slven time. Of course, It was)
written In the party platform end that
perforce must govern. But Secretary
Warrlson could not aee Independence for
the rillplnos as the statesmen on the hill
raw It and he fretted beeeuse Ms chief
could not see the wisdom of poatponlng
the consummation until later.
Then the secretary discovered that the
president lad changed a bit In regard to
a "continental army" or a "national
army" contradistinguished from an army
of forty-eight ststes as the National
rjuard la now constituted, and sa the
break came.
Difference arose between Secretary Oar
ilKon and rreeldent Wilson and the dis
integration of the Wilson cabinet hss
brzua.
The reslsnstlon rams as a surprise to
tnrmbers of the cshlnet. One cabinet of
ficr said tonight while he knew there
was a difference of pinion between the
oresldent end Mr. Garrlaon over handling
.he army plana, he had not the allghtest
i aplrlon that an actual break wss lm
xndlns. 'Although Mr. Garrison first suggested
hut he leave the cabinet last month Mr.
nilnon did not formally accept hia
vstpnatlon until late thla afternoon when
informed that Mr. Garrison had Irft for
New York and that rumors of his reels'
tiatlnn were current. The president then
dictated the Tetter of acceptance end die-
patched It Immediately.
It was not untU o'clock tonight that
rnrnial iinnouncenirnt of the Garrlaon and
flrrckliirltise resignations was made at
the Wh'tc I louse. ' ,
' K.prs Rearet.
KxiMM-lons of regret over the turn of
affo-lra were general In administration
:lreles. .The president thinks highly of
Miv Garrison's abilities and his name was
st-rloutly considered when the appoint
mnnt of a suceetmor to Mr. Lamar on the
snirtne court bench wss under con-
Htdlll, ... ,
-Mr. Gorilsnn has been the warm frlnnd
ef most -of tlia other cabinet members,
lliliouch he and former Becretary Vrysn
llffrred radlralljr on many subjects.
When the president went Into the mid
dle west recently to speak on national
defense It waa understood that he under,
took the trip partially at the suggestion
f Mr. Oarrfeom lurlnr -the tour the
reildent spoke at every, meeting In fa
vor of the Garrlaon army plan, but said
.hat he was' not particular about details
is long as a "reserve 'of approximately
tfs,000 trainee sua vii assured. .It was
tald tonight that Mr, Wilson's failure to
efuse any compromise on the subject In
Ha spee hea Was the direct' Cause of Sir.'
Jsnison'g resignation.
. At. Office. Karlr
Mr. Garrlsonls last day as. a member, ot
the reblntt almoat paaaed without any
outward evidence of the step he was con
templating. He waa at his offlre early
and throughout. the morning .busily .occu
pied with ordinary routine affairs. Later
he dictated a speech which he had prom
led to deliver ht the afternoon before
the annual meeting ef the Chamber of
Comment ef the United States In defense
ef his continental army plan.
It was not until he announced suddenly
late In the eftemoen that be waa leaving
th city and would not deliver the ad
dress that there was the slightest aus
plclon that anything nnueual had hap
pened. The secretary left the state, war and
navy building with Assistant Secretary
Breckinridge.. Inquiry as to where he
was going and how long he would remain
brought only the reply that he would be
"out of town for an Indefinite etay."

Swiss Insurance
Funds Invested
in German Bonds
PARIS, Feb. 11. A Geneva dispatch to
the 'Journal says that public opinion In
Switzerland Is deeply moved by the reve
lation 'that reaponalble officials of the
Federal Insurance directorate transferred
all the federal Insurance funds with the
exception of WO.OOO franca Into German
ootids and stocks since the war began.
This discovery, the dispatch says, wss
made by the board of auditors of the
federal council during the periodical ex
amination of the Insurance records. The
Bwlsa Federal council In 1911 paased the
federal Insurance law for the purpose of
which several million francs were ap
propriated.
The Swiss isw alluded to wss In two
against Illness, snd the second for in
sursnc sgslnst sccident, which Involved
the estibltshmcnt of an annual fund ef
l.ftX'.noo franca. Opposition wss msde to
ths second part of the measure, on the
ground that so lsrge an appropriation
would endanger the national treasury.
snd thst It wss a doubtful adventure
for the state to undertake a form of
business which had previously been re
garded ss the proper domstn of private
companies. Both parts ef the law were
finally adopted by 260.900, against 220,000
on the referendum vote by the Bwiss
people.

Eighty-Two Naval
Cadets Dismissed
by Daniels' Order
WASHINGTON. Feb. 11. Secretary
Daniels today approved the recommenda
tions of the academic board at the naval
academy, dismissing eighty-two mld
ishlpmsn for failure In their studies.
Of those dismissed three are of the
first class, nineteen ef the second, twenty
of the third and forty of the fourth
class. In announcing his decision. Sec
retary Daniels said that while the navy
needed more officers, only those who
could meet the high standards and qualify
by examination could be retained.
'To meet this need," he said, "the
Sixty-third congress upon the recom
mendation of the Navy department con
tinued the law which had expired by lim
itation providing for the appointment of
two midshipmen by each member of con-
grees and the Sixty-fourth eongresa, as
the first act In larger preparedness,
has pused the bill giving three sp
potntments to sach senator snd repre
sentative. This mskes possible an In
crease of tSl midshipmen for the coming
year."
The secretary expressed regret that the
eighty-two students had been found "un
satisfactory In such a degree a doee not
Justify hope of their graduation and
training as officers In the navy."
Mr. Daniels said that he did not think
any midshipman should he allowed to
graduate unless he could msks 2H per
cent, the standard average. In his
studlss.
