New York, Jan. S.-The worst acci-
dent Ii the ten years history of New
fork's subway occurred during the
morning rush hours on Wednesday,
when 700 passengers in two stalled
trains were stricken with panic in the
darkened tubes by the dense smoke
and acrid fumes from a short-circuited
cable
In the ensuing struggle to escape
some two hundred persons were in
Jured, one-a woman-fatally. Others
were overcome and were rescued. un-
conscious. by police and firemen. while
scores Of others struggled to the
street, unnerved or hysterical, their
clothing torn and faces blackened by
smoke.
As the result of the accident the city
at night was in the throes of trans
portation blockade without parallel in
its history. It was not until late in the
afternoon that wheel again turned in
the subway, and at that time only a
limited local service was in operation.
The accident occurred between the
Fiftieth and Fifty-ninth street stations
and called out virtually the entire fire
and ambulance service on Manhattan
island.
The hundreds of thousands of pas
sengers were diverted to the elevated
and surface system. Neither system
had adequate facilities to accommo-
date the tremendous crowds which
sought transportation

Paris, JAM 1.-THE following tele-
gram which General Joffre has re-
ceived from Grand Duke Nicholas OF
Russia, was made public on Tuesday
by the war office:
Il hasten to inform you of glad It'd
ings. The army of the Caucasus, in
spite of the fact that its forces were
reduced to the minimum in order not
to we-ken our armies in the principal
theater of war, won two decisive VIC
tories on the 21st and 22d of Decem-
Der over Turkish forces superior In
number-at Ardahan against the First
Turkish corps and at S.rykamysch
against the Ninth and Tenth corps.
The entire Ninth corps 100000 men,

ing every effort to escape, but is be-
ing pursued by our troops
Ardahan is an important fortified
town in Russian Armenia, about sixty
miles from the Turkish frontier 1t
formerly belonged to Turkey, but II
was stormed and captured by the Rus
slams in 1878 and remained in Russian
possession after the close of the war.
Sarykamysch is sm-ll town near

known as Ararat, from the mountain
of that name, upon which. according

Just ! SUGGESTION. ),

Captious citizens may be inclined
TO criticize the treasury commentary
on the new war taxes. OF these the
secretary says:
IF the emergency revenue act had
not been passed the surplus in the
treasury might have disappeared alto
gether. AS long as the expenditures
Of the government exceed its income
there is always danger. To maintain
such condition is both unsound and
lmprudent"
AS an alternative to the excess of
expenditures there is always the pos
sibility of retrenchment. The practice
of private economy has been pain
fully enforced on a large portion of
the people, and some persons are
likely to suggest that increased taxes
are not the only method of averting
the danger which Mr.. McAdoo dis
cusses.

The War Tax

Secretary McAdoo's recommenda-
ton that the limitations under which
the war tax measure is to expire De
cember 81, 1915, be removed and the
act amended SO as to provide that
it shall remain in force until the
end of the conflict in Europe. is par
ticularly significant when considered in
connection with estimates of appropri-
ations calling for an expenditure OF
s1,090,775,134. These estimates were
transmitted to congress by the presi-
dent, and 1t is understood that by his
order they have been subjected to a
pruning process, but they are still so
large as to show that not much econ
omy is to be expected at Washington.
Apparently there is little, if any, dis
position to save money, and yet 1t is
becoming more and more evident
that with reasonable care in handling
the governments resources it would
be safe to repeal the emergency tax
measure before the time set for it to.
expire. The country properly resent
ed the imposition Of this burden in
time of peace at home, and its resent
ment will be increased by Mr.. Nc

SEES VICTORY IN 1916
Chairman HilIes Predicts Repub-
Iican Return to Power. .
Logical Deduction From the Recent
Eiection-Evil Effects Of the New
Tariff viii Bring Reaction
Against Democracy.

Charles d. Hilles, chairman Of the
Republican national committee. pre-
diets sweeping Republican victory
in the national election in 1916 for
president, vice-president, senate and
house. He says it is a logical deduc-
ton from this years elections. The
issue in 1916, he says, is to be the
tariff.
Mr.. Hilles in a prepared statement
said: AN analysis of the results OF
the last election shows conclusively
that the Republican party will return
to power in 1915 Not only will Re-
publican president be elected. unless
there is a revulsion of feeling in the
meantime, but the party will gain
control of both senate and house. 1t
requires no gift of prophecy to assert
this; it is logical deduction from
the recent election.
The issue in 1914 was the tarih
and every state where the effect of
the Underwood bill had time to be
felt went Republican. The disastrous
effects of the new tariff has not yet
been fully felt in the great agricul-
tural states of the West, but even
there the reaction against Democracy
was unmistakable.
The issue in 1916 win be squarely
on the tariff and on the legislation
OF the Democratic party. The revolt
against Democracy is not confined to
business men. Labor indicated very
clearly in the last election that it
understood that Its own prosperity is
inextricably wound up with the pros
perity of business. and that unem-
ployment and reduced wages inevita-
bly, follow Democratic tariff tinker
