 present secretary had not specifically rec commended passage of such acts. Without knowledge of the letter issued by Secre- tary Garrison, General Foster read a report of the conference between his committee and the secretary last October, where the administration plans had been discussed. The report had been dictated by Mr. Garrison, he said, and was as follows:
 'The final matter that remains in my memory that has not been alluded to-, l propose to state in exactly the form in which it occurred, so that there may be no misunderstanding. I was asked this question:: 'Supposing the National Guard convention should approve of your recommendations concerning the regular army and should engage to show it's sympathy, and desire that your recom- mendations be adopted in that respect; supposing that they should take simi- lar attitude with respect to your plan

ADJUSTMENTS
''The Chocolate Soldier"

Perhaps no light opera in the past decade has achieved such overwhelming popularity as "The Chocolate Soldier'' which will be the attraction at the Jef- ferson Tuesday matinee and night. This is due to the wonderful music by that master Viennese composer, Oscar Straus, who wrote a score full of tuneful gems which remain in ones memory long after first hearing the opera. Another factor in it's success is the wholesome, consistent story, which is based on G. B. Shaw's inimitable military satire, Arms and the Man" The present organization has re- enga ged several of the most popular prin- cipals of previous seasons, and carry it's own special orchestra, thus insuring a wholly artistic and musical presentation.

 TRIBUTE TO THE FLAG
 The President closed with tribute to the American flag.
 "As I look at the flag" he said, "I seem to see many characters upon it which are not visible to the physical eye. There seem to move ghostly visions of devoted men who, looking to that flag, thought only of liberty, of the rights of mankind, of the mission of America to show the way to the world for the realization of those rights. And every grave and every brave man in the country would seem to have upon it the colors of the flag, if he were a true American-would seem to have on it that stain of red which means the true pulse, of blood; that patch of pure white which means the peace of the soul. And then there seems to rise over the graves of those men and to hal low their memories, that blue space of the sky in which swim those stars which exemplify for us the glorious galaxy of the states of the union which stand to-

ACCIDENT NARROWLY AvERTED

Grinnel Ia, February 1.-President Wilson's special train backed into crowd of 5000 persons at the railway sta- ton today and knocked down half dozen children, several of whom fell under the train and between the rails. They were dragged out unhurt before the wheels reached them.
 The President was on the back platform at the time, just about to shake the hands of baby held up to him by it's mother. The smile on the Presidents face quickly gave way to look of alarm. He strengthened up and shouted Stop the train!' National Guardsmen and secret service men on the platform threw back the crowd. Most of those directly Tn the pathway of the train were women and children. The sudden back ward motion of the train was caused, it is said, by the engineer taking up slack to get start. Ths train backed fully 20 feet before it was brought to a stop,

Large Crowd Present Last Night When Dr. Smith
 Spoke on Faith"
TONIGHT MARKS CLOSE OF THE CONVENTION
Session of the Women of the Con- ventiOn Will Be Held at Church This Afternoon at
 O'Clock

Despite the unpleasantness of the weather yesterday the attendance at all sessions of the convention of the lay mems missionary movement was large, and at the night session held at the First Methodist church, Dr. Egbert w. Smith of Nashville was the principal speaker. Dr. Smiths topic was: By Faith"
 "When our Lord was giving His final charge to His disciples, he set before them two things" began Dr. Smith; first, the magnitude of the task com mitted to them Go ye into all the world; make disciples of all the na- tions; preach the gospel to every crea- ture. Having thus assigned the task, he next tells them the means of it's ac- complishment
 "It is striking fact that under this head he makes no reference to money, to organization to human leadership, to any of those things which we are wont to regard as necessary. As the one resource for the accomplishment of the mighty task, our Lord focuses at tention on himself All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore, and I am with you alway.' In other words, the one power by which His disciples can accomplish their task is the power of faith, faith in that Lord Who has all power and Who is with them always"
 Dr. Smith was followed on the pro- gramme by pr. E. c. Cronk of Column bia, $. C., who spoke on Investigating fn, vt,a To oI1 of the evening was made by Dr. Stephen J. Corey of Cincinnati, whose subject was: How Heathenism I'm pressed Me"

 for continental army supposing they should approve of all your plans with respect to the National Guard, excepting the addition of the pay bill-would you then be in favor of the pay bill?
 My answer was, yes. I was then asked whether if they took that attitude would exercise my influence in favor of the pay bill, and I said yes. But I added that I had never eicited from President Wilson any expression of final judgment in this particular on the pay roll, and that I could not tell, therefore, whether or not he would permit me- as Secretary of War, to favor that bill; but that my own personal position was just as I have above expressed it.
 AS TO PAY BILL
 "To prevent any misunderstanding wish to say this, that I cannot, in any event initialy propose the pay bill as part of my scheme, and when I said that ] would favor it and add my in fluence I did not mean and do not mean that I can include it in the rec concentrations that I have already made and which have already been made to Congress. What I do mean, and what I will do in the event of the things which were the basis of the questions to me, if the pay bill is en-
 
 tails of the plan being left as they are, is that I will not only not object to it, but I will say that under the circum- stances I will favor it's passage" The conference was held just prior to the convention of the National Guard association in San Francisco last year, at which the war departments plan was not indorsed, although no resolu- ton of opposition was adopted. The convention renewed it's urgency for the pay bill.
 In developing a sound military pol icY, Secretary Garrison wrote to Senator Chamberlain, just as soon as We com pIete consideration of the regular es- tablishment we are stopped from pro- ceeding to establish a sound system ot citizen soldiery by the existence of a force that we cannot count upon either for peace training or war ern nployn ent yet having such influence that we have not been able to disregard 1t and pro- ceed to the organization of proper force of trained citizenry on a strictly federal basis"
 WEAKNESS SHOWN JN WAR { "After the Sponsh-A American war demonstrated the utter weakness Of our military policy, an effort was made to secure the enactment of fed eral law under which the army could be directly organized and employed by the general government. The wisdom of such q measure needed no argu- . ment: but the active opposition of some of the influential members of the or ganized militia was such as to keep this measure pending for years. Finally, when it was passed, they succeeded in having injected into it a proviso for the acceptance of organized militia as vol unteers. The intent and purpose of those provisions was to require the fed eral government to employ uniform force of organized militia before pro- ceeding to organize the national army of volunteers. t-nder such a system mobilization for war will again be attended with confusion. delay and em- barrassmcnt and campaigns will prob ably be attended with disaster.'

Triangles Walloped
By Highwood

The Triangle Club again tried it's
hand at baseball last Saturday in a
game with Highwood on the Palsade
Fairgrounds. Excuses by the Pail
SADIE boys might be made for the
absence of players, but this was more
than made up by borrowed talent.
Otherwise the game would have been
real joke.
Highwood took the bit in it's teeth
and ran away with things at the start.
They brought along the Count de
Martini, an Italian pitcher who has
played with Fort Lee all season, and
he not only broke up the game with
his filings, but batted like iend.
The only thing the Triangles had
was good outfeld, and an extremely
weak battery. Borgstede melted like
butter before the attack of the
visitors and was mauled to the far
corners, as the score shows, ten hits
and nearly a dozen flies caught,
eleven, to be exact.
The game was long and dismal,
played as it was in cold, raw north
east wind that made overcoats es-
sential. Highwood played some real
talent, and has a very nifty team.
the Triangles need bolustering up.
Curtain. Don't get discouraged,
boys, you beat Palisade once.

Triiangles Meet

The Triangle Club, of Palisade,
held it's regular monthly meeting at

of great Importance, as immediate
steps were taken in connection with

many itemized additions.
Various committees reported their
proceedings, which were approved.

by Dieges g. Clust, New York City,
were distributed to the members. As
the club had previously arranged the
treasurer took charge of the addi-
tional pins to be kept for any new
members. The pins are Of gold with
the triangle symbol: athletics, dra-
MATES and sociability, designed in
unique style. The club colors, blue
and white, are represented in
enamel, and make most attractive
pin.
Among the proceedings was the
revision of the old constitution which
brought forth many prominent sub
jects. The question of club house
was thoroughly discussed and the
club now begins to see itself formu-
lating definite plans and hopes to be
able to put them before the public
within a short time.
The Triangle Club wishes to an
nounce that any letters or informa-
ton concerning the building of a
club house will be most graciously
received by the members and that all
matters relating to the clubs interest
be addressed in care of the secretary,
James Woolcott, jr., Palisade, N. j.
They are not able to impress too
strongly upon the minds of the pub
lie the need of information and sug-
gestions, and ell matters relating to
same will receive courteous attention.
