IN NEW YORK SUBWAY
700 Face Death When Crowd Gets Elk.
Observation-Disclosures Gable Is
the Cause Of Trouble.

New York.-The worst accident In
the 10 years history Of New York's
subway occurred during the rush hours
when 700 passengers In two stalled
trains we're stricken with panic In the
darkened tubes by, dense smoke and
acrid fumes from a short-circuited ca
BILE. In the struggle to escape some
200 persons e injured, one. a wom-
an, fatally. Others. overcome, were
rescued, unconscious, by, police and
firemen, while scores struggled to the
street, hysterical, their clothing torn
and faces blackened by smoke.
The city was thrown into the throes
Of a transportation blockade without
parallel in Its history. 1t was not un-
til eight hours that a wheel again
turned in the subway, and then only a
limited local service was maintained.
The hundreds of thousands Of passen-
gers the subway ordinarily carries
were diverted to elevated and surface
systems, and when the home-bound
rush began neither system had ade-
Quate facilities. There were no sub
way trains running to Brooklyn and a
dense mass Of humanity, concentrat'
ing at the Brooklyn bridge, prolonged
the rush hour period for two hours in
a struggle to board trains and cars.
The accident occurred between the
Fiftieth and %Fifty-ninth street sta
tons and called out virtually the en-
tire fire and ambulance service on
Manhattan island. The two trains, an
express and a local. both packed, came
to a stop midway between the stations
and the lights went out.
A large feed cable had blown out
in its conduit, some SO yards distant,
and soon the lars were filled with the
fumes Of burning rubber. This soon
grew unbearable and it took little to
start a panic in the darkness.

Scattered and Not In Force.

London.-The extremely rainy win
ter, the worst Europe has experienced
In years, has caused floods in the
river valleys of the continent which
have prevented any operations on a
large scale on the western battle front
and seriously interfered with those In
the east.
There have been heavy artillery en-
gagements from the sea to the Swiss
borders and occasional attacks by the
infantry of the opposing armies. which.
when not repulsed, have added a few
yards to the territory Of the attacking
force, but have always proved costly
adventures.
The French have gained . little
ground between Albert and Roye, Just
north OF the point where the line turns
eastward, and east Of Rheims and
eastward of Verdun, where attempts
to make untenable the German posi-
tions at St. Mihiel, on the Meuse, are
proceeding slowly. They also have
made some advance In Alsace, but
have suffered a rspulse to the north
