pected.


New York, Jan. 7.-Seventy- seven
victims Of yesterdays subway accident
were still in the hospitals today re-
covering from their injuries. Most OF
them were men; some were women who
were mauled in the stampede for the
street. Many were suffering from
bruises and cuts. They were the ones
who had Jared worst in the panic.
None is expected to die.
The death list Of what was first be-
lieved to be a great disaster remained
at one. How many persons were car
ried unconscious from the smoke-filled
tube to the street probably never wilf
be definitely established, as some of
the victims did not go to the hospitals
and the names were not recorded.
There were more than 700 men and
women wedged into the cars, and es-
Inmates of the injured exceed 200.
Traffic on all lines halted for hours,
was resumed to some extent last night,
and the service was normal at the rush
hours today.
In the aftermath Of the accident the
machinery Of investigation was set in
motion. Eight investigations. under
the officers Of the state, city and trans
fer officials were under way today.

WILSON REJECTS SUFFRAGE.
Tells Democratic Women Callers Cues
ton is State Issue.

! Washington, Jan. 7.-President Will
son declined yesterday for the sixth
/ time since he entered the White House
! to support federal constitutional
amendment for woman suffrage.
When delegation Of democratic
women who declared they had helped
to elect him presented the sixth for
| NAL petition the president repeated his
previous declaration that he consid-
cred suffrage state issue.
| Mrs. George A. Armes, president Of
the District of Columbia branch of the
! Wilson and Marshall League; Miss AL
| berta Hill, of New York, and DR.. Fran
ceS McGaskin, spokesman for the DEL
egation which called at the White
House, reminded the president that the
house would vote on the suffrage
amendment Jan. II and asked that he
| lned his moral support to the move
ment.
II mmost unaffectedly compli-
; mented by this visit that you have paid
me-" the president told the women. II
have been called on several times to
say what my position is on the very
important matter that you are so deep
/ ~ interested In. I want to say that no.
body can look on the fight you are
making without great admiration and
certainly am one Of those who admire
the tenacity and the skill and the adj
dress with which you try to promote
the matter that you are interested In.
But I, ladies, am tied to convic-
ton which I have had all my life that
changes of this sort ought to be
brought abut state by state. If it We're
not matter of female suffrage, II it
were a matter Of any other thing con-
nected with suffrage, would hold the
same opinion.
\ 1T is a long standing and deeply ma
tured conviction on my part, and there
fore would be without excuse to my
/ own constitutional principles If i lent
my support to this very important
movement for an amendment to the
constitution Of the United States.
"F'rankly, do not think that this lie
i the wise or the permanent way to
build. I know that you perhaps unan-
imously disagree with me, but you will
not think the less Of me for being per-
fectly frank In the avowal Of my own
| convictions on that subject, and GER
! tainly that avowal represents no atti-
| tude OF antagonism but merely an at
titude OF principle.
| Il want to say again how much com
plimented ann by your call and also
by the confidence that you have so gen
| erously expressed in me. l hope that
j in some respects ! may live to justify
| that confidence"

WHAT MERCER SAID.
Paragraph Of Pastoral Letter Which
Aroused Ire of GERMANY


London. Jan. THE much discussed
paragraphs of the pastoral letter Of
Cardinal Mercier. which the Neither.
lands newspaper It'd said had been
responsible for his arrest at the handa
of the German military authorities In
Belgium. an arrest which the Germans
have catagorically denied, has been
published In pamphlet form. They fol.
low:
Il consider It an obligation OF my
charge to define your duties OF con-
science toward the power which has In
vaded our soil and which now occupies
greater part OF 1t. That power has
no lawful right. You owe no esteem.
nor attachment, nor obedience. Tho
sole legal power in Belgium Is that
derived from our king. our government.
This alone has the right to the affec.
tions OF our hearts and to our submio.
sion.
OF themselves the acts of these In
occupation are without force; but the
legal authorities ratify those acts which
are justified in the general interests
and from this ratification alone they
derive all their judicial worth.

batteries put to flight German avia-
tors who were coming in the direction
Of Dunkiry, and they compelled
cessation of the operations of mine

head of the Belgium bridge to the
south Of Dixmude.

I'm the region Of Lille we repulsed
violent German attack on one OF our
trenches. This trench in the beginning
was lost by us but was recaptured,
with great brilliancy. by exploding
mines.
Between the Somme and Aisne there
has been nothing to report except ar
tillery engagements.
ITO the east of Rheims, on the Alger
farm, we exploded some mines yester-
day evening. This resulted in the
stopping OF the enemy's field work.

engagements in which the enemy did
not show much activity.
Advance in Woevre Important.
TN the Woevre district the advance
made by us to the northwest of Fiery
is more important than was at first
supposed to be the case. We made our
selves master Of the enemy's first line.
"At Steinbach the enemy has not
delivered counter attack. A persist
ant rain together with the state of the
ground made any operations difficult.
We have all the positions conquered
by us in preceding days. There were
two attacks by the enemy, one west
Of watcheller and the other at Kol-
schlag. Both were repulsed. We have
made progress in the direction OF
Altkirsch by occupying the forests
four kilometers to the west OF this
town. Our heavy artillery reduced to
silence that Of the enemy.
During the entire day the enemy
bombarded the hospital at Thanh"

The Germans are no nearer to War

London, Jan. THE reply Of Great
Britain to the American note regard

tiers. is wholly conciliatory, and shows
a disposition on the part OF England
to do everything reasonable TO prevent
delay in American shipping When loss
of time Is costly to ship owners.
England wishes to do everything IN

guarding the interests of the allies to
stimulate trade.
Consequently it is declared there is
no disposition on the part Of England
to protest against the purchase OF
German vessels on the part of Amerl-
ca where the sales are genuine.
The use Of transferred German ships
in the cotton trade with Germany
probably would call forth objections
from the allies. altho cotton ID not
contraband, because the allies would
regard such use as a roundabout means
Of escaping the effects of the war. At
any rate objection is not likely to
come until ships are actually trans

clearly Indicated.
