NEAR SCORE DIE WHEN TANKER
 EXPLODES
Norwegian Tank Steamers Engine Room is Scene of Terrible Catastrophe; One Dead, II Missing.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-One man is dead and eleven are known to be missing as a result of an explosion which wrecked the engine room of the Norwegian oil tank steamer Aztec. at the Brooklyn dock. The dead man was the fireman of the vessel Five of the missing are members of the crew. The other six were em- ployed on the dock. Seven were in jured. three seriously.
 Most of, the victims were trapped below decks and those not instantly killed were probably drowned by the water that flooded the engine room through a great hole blown in the side of the vessel. The Aztec had just left drydock. The cause Of the explosion is unknown although it is believed to have been caused by the bursting of tank of ten thousand cubic feet of gas used in connection with the oil fuel for the engines.
 For several hours after the explo- sion city nremen wOrked uesperatels and futilely to recover the bodies of the victims. As it was almost certain those below at the time could not have escaped with their lives. it was finally decided to pump the ship dry before renewing attempts to reach the bodies. One body was hurled into the air. followed by flame that shot fifty feet high. The body teii into the water and sank immediately.
 The Aztec was under charter to the Interocean Transportation company. The tanker recently arrived from France and was to have sailed for Philadelphia this week. ta take on cargo for a return trip to France.

NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-Summarizing the testimony the government counsel pictured the eleven former New Haven directors, charged with the violation of the Sherman act as men who regarded the law as 'trtie" when it stood in the way Of their alleged design to mon opolize transportation traffic in New England.
 Government attorney Osborne laid great stress upon the high standing and intellectuality" of the defendants, which. he said. was all the more reg son why they knew they were violat- ing the law. He dwelt upon the Latin expression which Lewis Ledyard used in testifying in his own defense. "the law doesn't consider trifies."
 No" shouted the attorney. "the way they translated that was what in thunder do I care about the law !"

WASHINGTON, Jan. g.

 Although administration leaders in- formally are inclined to proceed eau Itiously and await positive information there is general feeling of uneasi- ness among the senators and represen- tatives over the gravity. following the affairs.

ARMAND NAVY PLAN GREAT
 OEFENSEs
Preparedness Program Takes into Consideration Possi- bility of Attack from Two World Powers at One Time.
INVOLVES DEFENSE OF
 PAN-AMERICAN PLAN
Army and Navy Experts Think United States Must Be Prepared to Defend Any Republic in Americas.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The possi-
 bility of combined attack by two foreign powers. to break down the new
 Pan-American doctrine evolved from its maintenance by the United States and the acceptance by South and Gen. tral American republics of the Monroe Dostrine, is one of the fundamental bases of the national defense plans { formulated by the army and navy strategists.
 It was learned that they believed it essential in the formulation of a na- tional military policy to provide a. upon the doctrine by Asiatic or Euro pean powers, or by the alliance of two such powers, which might hurl their forces simultaneously on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
 Navy strength, equal to those of any two world powers, with the exception of England, and an army prepared to uphold the Pan-American idea any where in Pan-America is the ultimate aim of the plans of the military ex- perts. The navy general board be- lieves that in ten. years the United States will have time to prepare for a readjustment of the world forces fol- lowing the European war. The plans of the army war college will be con toI tr, ~sx plans recommend an expenditure in 1916-1917 of s30O.OOO0 900 for ships, a. gainst total investment of less than $500, 100000 in the last thirty years for navy fghting equipment. The War College recommended the expenditure of s50O,0OO,0O0 in 1916-1917 to produce a mobile army which, with the reserv- es, would total 100000, with 5O0.OOO regulars. The remainder are continen- tals.
 Setting 1925 as the time when, the United States navy should equal any afioat, which means reaching the two power standard of the British navy, the board estimated that much time should elapse before the shock of the present war had elapsed sufficiently to permit any of the belligerents to look on South and Central America for colonial development or trade ag- gression.
 Army officers take the position that the United States must have sufficient troops and troop ships to land forces in any threatened Pan-American coun- try to meet an invader It is now known all these preparations have been presented by strategists to the administration as essential to support the Monroe Doctrine, so the United States would be able to act alone. if necessary. to preserve the ideals with entangling alliances. Such ideals. mill itary students stated. would impose new duties on the United States re- quiring more than a policy of mere passive resistance.

W |LSON W ILL PERSONALLY
 DIRECT
President Hastens to Wash ington to Assume Charge of Foreign P Poiicy in Crisis
 Caused by Sinking Persia.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The presi- dent is en route to Washington to personally assume charge of the na- tion's foreign affairs in the new crisis resulting from the sinking of the Persia. The loss of at least one Amer ican makes the situation regarded as the most serious to confront the United States since the Teutonic sub marine operations began. The Pres ident probably will lay all available facts before the cabinet tomorrow.
 The destruction of the Persia fol lowing closely on the Ancona crisis may result in the United States deter mining to settle immediately all ques- tions involved in submarine warfare. It is expected the submarine subject will he considered tomorrow in the house and senate.
 The United States is represented as being prepared and determined to take any action warranted when the facts are established. The Austrian embassy charge has conferred with Lansing and is said to have suggested withholding judgment until the facts are known and expressed the belief the final explanation will be satisfac- tory.
 The Austrian charge is said to have assured Lansing of his belief that if the Austrian submarine commander violated the principles of international law and rules of humanity his govern ment will be quick to take action which will fully. satisfy the United States. The officials are still trying to view the situation with open minds. It is apparent that they are disturbed by reports from consular agents at Alexander and Carlo. Every effort will be made to establish the truth of the report that the Persia was tor pedoed without warning. Secretary Lansing contemplates taking no step until complete details are known. Am bassador Penfield at Vienna. has been instructed to make inquiries which might lead to the establishment of the identity of the submarine which sank the Persia or information con- corning circumstances of the attack
 Officials are not finally convinced that the submarine was responsible. There still is remote possibility that the vessel might have struck a float ing mine adrift. The report that the liner was carrying four Finch guns, served to revive consideration of the position taken by the United States in regard to armed merchantmen.
 The Italian ambassador called upon Secretary Lansing seeking informa- tio non the question. He referred to the position of the United States at the beginning of the war. which was in line with provisions of the Hague convention permitting armament for defensive purposes. During the latter discussion fthe subject Secretary Lansing revealed that Germany had abandoned her contention that the Lusitania was an armed merchant man. The Japanese ambassador called on Lnsing for the purpose of obtain ing any details which might have been received regarding the sinking of the Yasaka Maru. Secretary Lansing said no details of importance had been re- ceived and it is indicated that the l United States will take no action in that case. at least for the present.
