Former Senator James Smith, jr., Of
Newark, is back in the leather business.
Sixty-four years of age, and shrunken
to d shadow Of his former self since
the announcement Of his failure for
nearly s2000,000 on November 21, the
indomitable will and courage that made
him a power in New Jersey politics and
finance have put him back at desk in
an effort to make good his debts.
Newark learned yesterday that since
Monday the banker who little more
than three weeks ago moved in an at
mosphere of affluence and wealth as
president Of the Federal Trust Com
pany has been working from $3.50 in

he branched out into the financial field

CONTINENTALS
OR CONFUSION,
SAYS GARRISON
Nation Must Be Defended
at Any Cost, Says An
nual Report.

Washington, Dec. Eff the admins
tration plans for a Continental army
TO supplement an increased regular
force fail, this country will face some
form Of compulsory military service
declares Secretary Garrison in his an
nual report TO the President, made
public tonight.
III the nation requires certain ser
vice and offers the most favorable op-
portunity for the citizens to furnish
such service, and, notwithstanding that
it cannot secure such service, it must
then resort to some method Of compel
ling the service" says the Secretary.
Careful elab- ration of the reasons
for passingsover the scheme proposed
by the War College for the increase OF
the army, and defence of the War
Departments own plans, are the chief
feature of the report, which is in
tended as means Of putting the whole
army question before the people.
The report, remarkable for its brevi-
Is, combats the pscihcists. asserts that
reasonable preparation is the sGresi
safeguard against militarism, and ex-
presses confidence that the minds OF
the nation will disregard those who
would substitute sentiment for reason.
Every instinct of manhood requires
the maintenance Of the honor OF the
ration and the fulhlment OF its re,
sponsibilities at any cost or sscrlnce.
Thus does the Secretary sum up what
he considers the viewpoint Of the coun-

POLICE CHECK FIRE
PANIC IN SUBWAY
Passengers Gained, Escape, as
Negro Cries "FireW Seeing
Smoke from Circuit.

Prompt action by patrolmsn IN
silencing an excited negro who was
crying "Firel" probably prevented q
subway panic last night when ten
car southbound Brooklyn train was
stalled a short distance above the sta
ton at 135th Street and Lenox Avenue.
A short circuit in the motor box on
ore of the rear cars caused flames TO
light UP the tunnel and smoke to pour
out OF the downtown entrances
All the passengers in the train
which was we'll filled, escaped down th9
tracks to the station platform. The
service was delayed from 9:4l to 1906
o'clock.
Beverly Morris, negro, was the
frst person to notice the smoke. AS
he rushed into the subway station
yelling FIRE." he was caught by Pa
trolman Murphy. Murphy grappled
with him, threw him down and turned
him over TO several men in the smoky
station.
Conductor Pedgeon and one OF the
passengers used the emergency Kit to
open one Of the doors, which had be-
come jammed.
Firemen had nothing 10 do except
help the police handle the large crowds
that swarmed from their homes on
hearing rumors of another big subway
accident.
Morris, arraigned In the Mems Night
Court, was sent 10 the Workhouse for
ten days for disorderly conduct.
During the twenty-fve-minute tie-up
the Interborough Company permitted
no trains TO run north Of Ninety-sixth
Street on the Lenox Avenue line.

Washington, Dec. e.-Indications yes
terday that q new American foreign
policy had been formulated and would
be followed we're confirmed to-day In
administration circles. A high Official
declared that the President and his
Cabinet had reached the limit OF their
patience In dealing with Austria and
Germany, and were determined to in
sist on full recognition OF American
rights on the seas or face a break in

be as follows:

avowal of the attack, assurances for
the future as complete as those dc
manded of Germany but not yet
given, and payment Of indemnity.
Unconditional recall of Boyd and

A sincere statement by the German
government Of its error in sinking

boats.
