scon MAY BE
Would Automatically Become Secre
tary of Department If Presi
dent Kails to Hll Place.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 11.—
Through the resignation of Secretary
Garrison of the War department,
President Wilson today findB himself
personally in charge of the adminis
tration’s plan for strengthening the
army, and the work of formulating a
definite policy. It is considered very
probable that even after the new
head of the department is appointed
that the president to a large extent
will continue to handle the prepar
edness campaign li‘inself.
Speculation is rife as to the suc
cessor to Secretary Garrison and sev
eral names have been mentioned.
Many believe that President Wilson
will not name a successor to Garri
son and that Major General Hugh
Scott, as commander in chief of the
Army, will automatically become
Secretary of War.
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the
interior department, is considered as
a possible successor to Garrison, and
the name of Assistant Secretary of
the Navy Roosevelt has also been
prominently mentioned.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge,
of the War department, tendered his
resignation this morning to Presi
dent Wilson as a mark of loyalty to
his chief, Secretary Garrison, who re
signed yesterday, because he found
that the views of President Wilson
and those held by himself were irre
concilable.
