FIRE IN NEW YORK SUBWAY THOUSANDS TRAPPED IN TUBE WHEN FLAMES FOLLOW TIE- UP OF WHOLE SYSTEM. New1 York, Jan. 6. Fire started in the subway following a tie-up of the eystem caused by explosion of cable manholes, flames leaping up through the gratings at Broadway between Fifty-third and Fifty-fifth streets, where hundreds of passengers were trapped.

In the first quarter hour after the arrival of four battalions of fire men at least a hundred persons were carried up through the ripped out gratings. Thousands had been trapped in the smoke-filled tube. As the flames burst through the gratings above the subway the excited spectators, who knew that the subway had been tied up for more than an hour and that there were thousands of people trapped in the tuba, turned in an alarm of fire. Three other alarms followed. Every available ambulance and pulmotor in the city quickly was summoned after the sending in of four alarms of fire, the arrival of Chief Kenlon and the Fire and Police Commissioners at the scene.

The Buick Automobile building was turned Into a temporary hospital, into which were carried score of men, women and children, their faces blackened with the smoke in the tube. All were unconscious, and every volunteer was pressed into service to aid In the work. Every available ambulance surgeon In the city was called out for duty, as the first glance indicated this was the greatest public disaster the city had experienced in years. Firemen decided that the flames shooting up through the grating and overpowering passengers and rescuers were from the sewers under Broadway around what is known as "Gasoline Row," the drippings from thousands of automobiles having been set afire by the explosions in the electric power cable manholes at 53rd street. Firemen with sledges battered open the subway gratings and thrust down ladders.

Companies of firemen and policemen plunged in to the rescue. The volumes of smoke and flames billowing up indicated that the subway was a veritable inferno through which the trapped passengers were staggering as the passengers who had died in numbers in the Paris subway disaster. There was no time to attend- the rescued. As fast as they were carried to the surface they were dropped down on the sidewalk in the rain and fresh air until surgeons could attend them. The firemen and policemen rescuers were hard hit by the smoke and many of them fell unconscious as they trough their burdens to the street.

Thousands of people who had gathered knowing of the hundreds trapped in the smoke- fried tube became frantic at sight. Reserves of all the police ftations in the upper city fought to 'hold back the would-be rescuers while ii'-s's'in'r the firemen in carrying out the gapping scores of unconscious fa en and women.

GENERALS AND GUNS OF ONE CORPS TAKEN Austro Hungarian Foreign Minister Protest Against Italy' Occupa. tion of Avlona, the Albania Seaport.

London, Jan. 9. Material pains on the extreme wings, in Zanders and in Alsace, bitter artillery fighting at many point3 and infantry actions of the severest kind near Soissons and in the Argonne are the principal features of the operations at the front as described Jn the official communiques of the French war office. The German General Staff announces the repulse of French attacks near Rheims, in the Argonne, Jn the Vosges and also in upper Alsace. The campaign against the Russians Is said to be proceeding successfully.

A dispatch from Pontebba, on the Austro-rtalian frontier, ays a German force of 10,000 men baa been rushed across Austria to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, where it is destined to reenforoe the Austrians and aid them In a new attack on the Servians. The Germans boast that wiiJh their aid the Servians will be easily crushed and the Austrian defeat avenged. The Russian "War Office In a detailed report of the victory over the Turks In the Caucasus says that the Ninth Turkish Army Corps was almost completely destroyed, that the pursuit of the Tenth Corps continues and that prisoners and extensive war muniions have been captured. The Turkish army is said to ihave been completely dispersed. Austria is reported to have protested against Italy's occupation of Avlona In Albania, and Italy is believed to have sent a firm reply, saying she will pursue her poJicy without interruption.

A dispatch from Bucharest reported that Rumania is mobilizing 750,000 men, of which number 500,000 form the field army. It is unofficially reported in Bucharest Rumania will strike even Italy should decide not to enter the war. Austria is apparently either being drawn or forced into the dangerous situation created by the j-eoelrion in Albania and Italy's firm stand for the protection of her interests and obligations that country. RUSSIA INFLICTS SEVERE DEFEAT ON TURK ARMY. Petrograd, Jan.

6. The Russian victories at Ardahan and Sari Kamysh in the Caucasus are most important. The surrender of the Ninth Turkish army corps and the rout of the Tenth at Sari Kamysh and the rout of the First Corps at Arhadan are announced. It is stated that Izzet Pasha and four senior officers are among the prisoners. The victory followed the arrival of Russian reinforcements at the exact moment when the Turks thought they had won.

The fresh troops carried out a successful flanking movement and sopn threw the Turks into headlong flight, back across the frontier ten miles from Sari Kamysh. The flight of both the defeated Turkish corps is described as disorderly and frantic. Remnants of the Tenth, which were retreating upon Sari Kamysh, have been overtaken by the Russians, who are pounding them again, completing their defeat and capturing much artillery. Newspaper reports say the Turks fought with their customary courage and tried to cover the retreat to Sari Kamysh tiy rearguard actions. Tbey repeatedly charged the Russians with bayonets, regardless of immense losses and notwithstanding the disadvantages of their positions.

Even the wounded fired frcm the ground where they fell and disarmed prisoners tried to rejoin their comrades, as result of which numbers of them had to be shot. The Ottoman equipment is described as bad. It is hampered by lack of horse transport, all supplies being carried by porters. These men rushed between the combatants in their efforts to escape the Russian shells and thus prevented an effective defense, which had previously been most stubborn. Most of the captured materie was of German manufacture Many of the Turks had packets of a mysterious powder which they said their officers gave them to prevent drowsiness and freezing.

London, Jan. 7. Advances by the Freaeh troops at four distinct points along the battlefront extending from the North Sea to Alsace were an outstanding feature of the latest war news.

A further gain by the French In Alsace on the road to the Important strategic point of Muelhausen overshadowed for the time being the crashing blow the Russians appear to have dealt the Turkish army invading the Caucasus. A German trench almost half a mile long in the Argonne region was blown up by the Allies. The Paris ficlal statement announced that the explosion was followed by an infantry attack, in which the French captured half of the ditcn. In this charge a grandson of the Italian patriot Garibaldi was killed. The recent death In action of another grandson was said In Roma to have reawakened the war spirit in Italy.

The Italian Government baa Issued a premobillzatlon announcement which provides for the calling to the colors of every able bodied man in the country between the ages of 20 and 40 years. This will give Italy an army cf 3,343,150 men. It is believed to indicate that the Government realizes that Italy will soon be obliged to enter the war. The German War Office reports that the French were driven from the heights near Sonnheim (Cernay) in Alsace and that material advances were made In the Argonne. In Poland the Germans have reached the Sucha River and captured 1,400 prisoners.

In Western Galicia where they have reinforced the Austrians, they have held up the Russian advance near Gorllce. Lord Kitchener, in a speech In the British House of Lords, said he had perfect confidence in the ability of the Allies to win. He said that probably 2,000,000 more recruits would be required to carry the conflict through to a successful conclusion.

Germany has conquered territory inhabited by more than 15,00000 people so far during the, European war, it was stated on high diplomatic authority.

This estimate is based upon the number of Belgians, French and Russian Poles living in cities and in the country occupied by German soldiers. It is because of this large increase in population that the food question is beginning to give the German government much concern, it was declared. Figures presented by this authority indicate that approximately 6,000,000 Belgians are under German rule, 000,000 French and 5,000,000 Poles. Belgium and that part of France held by Germany, it was stated, are two of the most thickly populated portions of Europe, white Russian Poland, now under German influence, is hone3r- combed with manufacturing communi ties, very thickly populated. Germany would have no trouble, it was stated, to feed her own normal population of 65,000,000, but when the number Is increased to 80,000,000 it is an entirely different -proposition.
