THIRTEEN PERISH
IN BROOKLYN FIRE

New York, Nov 3-Thirteen per-
sons, of whom six were men, three
women and four children, lost their
lives in the fire which destroyed a
three-story brick tenement house near
the river front in Brooklyn.
Most of the victims were overcome
by gas which leaked from a broken
pipe in the building and are believed
to have been unconscious before the
fire started. The smoke completed
their asphyxiation and many of them
were found dead in bed All were
Poles.
Firemen, able to enter the building
only after the blaze was extinguished,
found in upper rooms four bodies in
beds and others of women and chill
dren in positions indicating that they
had fled to the windows and Railways,
but were overcome by either gas or
smoke.

of the Bulgarian border. 1t is eighty
miles northeast of the Greek port Of
Salonik, where the first detachments
of British and French troops were
landed for the Serbian campaign.
Kavaia is the nearest Greek port to
the Gallipoli peninsula and might be
selected as the landing place in case
French and British troops were with
drawn from the peninsula for service
against Bulgaria. A Berlin dispatch
says troops now on the Serbian front,
brought in by way of Saloniki, had
been sent from the peninsula.
A few miles north from Kavala is
the railroad which runs from Saloniki

English Premier Tells House of Com

Nish, Former Serbian Capital.

London, Nov. 3.-Public interest is
divided between Premier Asquith's
speech in the house of commons and
Roumania's reported intention to
throw her lot with tn eentente allies.
News coming by way of Paris lends
support to the growing impression
that Roumania is preparing to inter
vene in the war
In mis- address before the house of
commons Premier Asquith stated that
Field Marshal Sir John French, com
mander of the British forces on the
tranco-Belgian front, is now in COM
mand of nearly 100000 men.
Mr.. Asquith said the total casual
ties in France and Flanders amounted
TO 377 900. He asserted the Germans
have not made net gain of foot of
ground since April.
The premier accepted his full share
of responsibility for the first attack
on the Dardanelles, which resulted
in failure with the loss of several
capital ships. He said this attack
was made after full investigation and
consultation with naval experts and
that it was sanctioned by the govern
ment, notwithstanding some doubts
in the minds of the governments prin
cipal naval advisers.
Roumania Is Modifying.
BY royal decree new classes of Rou-
manian recruits are being mobiliZed.
Vienna reports that "a grave situa-
ton" may arise in connection with
ube to transport Russian troops to
Bulgaria. Little news comes direct
from Bucharest, as the censorship Is
enforced so strictly that even or.
binary messages are stopped, but 1t
is known the agitation in favor of war
is spreading through the army.

rian armies are drawing the net more
closely about Nish In the south the
French assert they have inflicted con-
siderable losses on the Bulgarians.
who are reported to have been thrown
back on the right bank of the Vardar.
The only political development of
note in the Balkans is a change of
tone in tie ministerial press of Ath.
ems, which is publishing apparently
inspired articles of a nature friendly
to the en'ente allies, although still in.
sisting Greece must maintain her
policy of benevolent neutrality.
Along the Eastern front there Is
evidence of a considerable extension
of the Russian offensive. This is in
dicated by official reports from both
sides, although neither claims any
important results from these opera
tions.

Douglas. Ariz., Nov 3.-Eight per
sons on the American side of the
boundary have been wounded as a re
suit of General Francisco Villas at
tack on Aqua Prieta Six of the eieht
are Americans, and one OF them is be
lieved mortally hurt. Among the
wounded are four American soldiers.
Losses of the Carranza garrisonI
were reported by General Elias Gales
as forty-five killed and seyenty-iive
wounded, but unofficial reports gave
his casualties al 80. Villa dead and
wounded in large numbers strew the
desert around the barbed wire barri-
cades of the Mexican town.
After four desperate attacks, which
kept the Carranza defenses blazing
practically all night with flashing guns
and bursting shells, General Villa
drew off shortly after daylight.
The battle continued practically
without intermission for fifteen hours.
At 3 a. M, when Villa launched his
fercest attack, with combined fire of
rifles. machine guns and cannon, it
probably surpassed in violence the din
of any previous Mexican battle. Army
officers who, with their men, were in
the American trenches facing the
border all night, declared it was the
worst they had ever heard.
Bullets Rain on Douglas.
