Rubbing Silk And
 Leaky Tank Cause
 1WOGas0lineE Fires

Gasolene was responsible for two ! unusual fires, occurring within an hour of each other yesterday. The rubbing of silk waist in a pail of the highly inflamable liquid, pro- duced a static electrical spark, ignit- ing the gasolene and severely burn Ing the woman who was engaged in cleaning the waist. Gasolene drip ping from the rear faucet of a Un- ion Oil company tank truck became
 gnited in an unexplained manner and threatened a serious blaze
 Mrs. Oliphant, who has apartments on the second floor of the building lat IA North Second avenue. secured about two quarts of gasolene from a neighboring garage and about three o'clock yesterday afternoon proceeded to undertake the washing of the garment. She dipped the entire waist in the pail thoroughly wetting it and then took it between her hands and began rubbing vigorously The silk rapidly generated static electricity and there was burst of flame.
 Her hands, saturated with the li- quid, Mrs. Oliphant was unable to escape and both her palms, fingers and the backs of her hands were severely burned. The hot blast from the flame singed her eyebrows but did 10 other injury to her face. Dr. Colt Hughes was called and applied dressings to the burned palms.
 When the gasolene burst into flames, somebody rang in an alarm from Box 312, First avenue and Washington street. The fire depart ment made a quick run, but in the meantime somebody living in the building grabbed a heavy wool sweat CT and threw it over the top of the pail almost instantly smothering the flames. Beyond blackening the walls of the room in which the blaze ori- sinated there was little damage to the building and the services of the department were not required.
 About an hour after the fire had been sounded out, another alarm came in from Box r, Central avenue and Van Buren street A dense cloud of smoke could be seen coming from that direction and at once there was a rush of automobiles, carriages, bi cycles and persons on foot who real izing the alarm was coming from the public garage district, believed an other serious blaze was in progress.
 The department employed some chemical in extinguishing the burning liquid which had run from the gaso- lene section of the big tank of the Urion Oil Company Such quan- tity of gasolene had run away from the tank, the fiery fluid made it's way from the center of the street in to the concrete gutter. where it was burning merrily Outside of some damage to the pavement from the excessive heat effecting the bitui- thc surface, the fire was inconse- quential although highly spectacular while 1t lasted.

The opening to subscriptions in Lon don of Great Britain's war loan of S1,750,000,000 might add pressure on the New York market. Signs of inn proved investment demand were man ifested, the opening of the federal re- serve banks offering encouragement. Exchange rates are near normal and heavy exports of war material kept up the supplies in that market.

Desultory Artillery Duel Continues Along the Wide Front, and Occasional In fantry Attacks, Although of Mild Character ALLIES HAVE
 AN ADVANTAGE Germans Have Been Using Their Best Troops, While Allies Have New Men / Coming Up-Neither Side ' Gives Serious Offensive
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

LONDON, Nov. 21-Extrenie cold troops engaged have virtually brought the battle in Flanders and France to a. standstil A desultory artillery duel continues at some points along the wide front, and there has been ar occasional infantry attack but for the last three days fighting has been mild compared with the fierceness of that which for more than month preceded it.
 The Germans, it is evident, have sent their best troops to the eastern front and even in the big guns the allies appear to have the advantage over them. There are no signs. how ever, of an offensive on a large scale oa the part of the allies, who doubt less are as badly in need of a rest as their opponents. In fact. it is stated the officers and men who have borne the brunt of the fighting in the trenches are being given short leaves.
 This together with the cancellation of the order for the removal of ship
  that the allies consider their posi- tions safe for the present, and that they do not contemplate any imme- diate attempt at a forward move nlent For this reason and because the result will have a most import art bearing on the war. interest still centers on the battles in Poland As has been the case heretofore when important events are impending, little news is coming from either Berlin or Petrograd as to operations. It is known, however, the Germans are of fering stubborn resistance to the Russian advance in East Prussia. General Won Hindenburg, commander of the German troops, and Grand Duke Nicholas, commander in chief of the Russians, two of the greatest strategsts the war has produced are maneuvering for positions between the Vstula and the Warta.
 A big battle is in progress on the Cracow- -Czenstochowa line between Russian and Austro German forces. An unofficial dispatch coming through Rome says the Russians repulsed two attacks before Cracow, but be- yond the Russian official statement that the Russians had partial sue cess northwest of Lodz, there is ncthing to indicate how the cana paign is going. In the socialist quarters of Copenhagen. which are in touch with the socialists in Berlin, it is said that 100000 men are en- gagged in battles on the Russo Ger man frontiers, 3,OO0OOO on the Aus tro- German side and 100000 Rus sians The Servian retirement from Valjevo is described from Nish as strategic movement but the loss ot guns and prisoners is admitted.
 PARIS, Nov. 21.-Freezing weather has set in throughout the length Of the battle zone in France and Bel gium. The temperature ranges at from twenty y-five to twenty eight de- grees above zero.
 An official statement says:
 To-day has been very quiet There is nothing of interest to report ex- cept in the Woevre district Tn Eparges. where five German attacks in mass, extending over period or two hours, were stopped by our ar

RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to

uclT NSGOS.
The committee OF railroad execu-
tlves, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-fve of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ilctlties now confronting the railroads
OF the country and asking for the CO.
operation of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer.
sency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression OF business Oh the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
OF credits at home and abroad With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
conhagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all In their genera
discussion the railroad representa-
tlVes say in part: BY reason of leg
1slation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently of each other, as

public opinion, railroad expense. a..
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory of governmental regula-
ton, but on the other hard, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
pelses created thereby"
President Wilson, in Transmitting
the memorandum CT tie laltroad
presidents to the n;;olic, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, CON
tlnuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the attention
OF the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
| am glad to do SO because | think
the need very real
The conference was certainly 6
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to new world of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ngs of commissions and financing
railroads is one of them. The man
with the money is a factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter-
ested party that should always be con-
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu-
ton OF our railroad problems.
