French Driven from Position
In Vicinity of Sennheim

Berlin, Jan. 6 (by wireless 70 Lon
dom French trenches in the Ar
gonne were occupied yesterday by Ger
man troops. and in upper Alsace French
troops were driven away from posi-
ton near Sennheim (Cernay), accord
ing to the German official announce
ment given out to-day. The text Of the
statement follows:
an the western arena of the war the
French continued yesterday their sys-
tematic bombardment of villages sit
uated behind our front. They seem in
different TO the killing of their own
countrymen and to the destruction Of
French homes. In any event, this bonn
bardment causes US very little trouble.
at Souain and in the Forest of Ar
come we captured several of the
enemy's trenches and made prisoners
of two officers and 200 men.
"The French again obtained n foot
hold early yesterday on the much
fought for height west of Sennheim
(Cenay) in upper Alsace, but they
were again driven off after a strong
bavonet attack. They have not dared
TO attempt further advances. Fifty AL
pine Chasseurs were taken prisoners
by US"
The bombardment Of Fumes, West
Flanders. and incessant attacks by
aeronauts have necessitated removal of
the Belgian army headquarters to a
point further to the rear, according to
reports received here. Many inhab-
tants of Fumes already have fed, and
gas and water supplies have been cur
tailed. The historic church there was
not damaged. The city doubtless will
be defended stubbornly on account of
its strategic Importance.
The recent fighting in upper Alsace
for possession of the heights near
Sennheim and Steinbach has led TO bat
ties which are described here as the
most violent of the campaign. The
fighting for houses around the square
in Steinbach was especially fierce.

on the side Of the Russians. The
Turks had no railways TO help tHem
during their advance over the wlld
mountainous country, while the kus-
slams had two lines available for BRING
ing up renforcements and supplies,
one from Eriyan and the other from
Tifis. both headquarters Of the Rus
sian army corps. The Turkish soldlers
fought bravely, but what can oraVe
troops do when led by incompetent OF
ficers, and there are no otilcers IN any
armies so hopelessly and helplessly IN
competent as those in the TURKISH
army"
What the Turks may be thinking can
be guessed by the opinions expressed
to the correspondent Of "The Boerse
Gazette" who, speaking in Turkish,
was favored with some very ,outspoken
comments by a Turkish colonel who
was taken prisoner Of war. He says:
"Enver Pacha has been our ruin.
This wretched, brainless puppet OF
Wilhelm and Sanders Pacha has
brought Turkey to a pass wore than
the Imperial Ottoman Empire has ever
known. But what can we real Turks
do? Only a few days before | left
Erzerum | and many other Turkish
officers saw a German officer kill a
Turkish soldier our of hand for no
reason except that the latter failed to
understand the Germans order, and
we stood by helpless. When this was
reported to Enver he actually thanked
the German. No, there is no true
Turkey now. 1t is only a German
province, which the Germans are carry
ing down with them in their own ruin.
Our armies have neither clothing nor
food Germany, who, before the war;
thrust gold galore upon US, now sits
on our necks and eats our bread"
No mention is made of any German
officers being captured, although many
were known to be in ErZerum.

SUBWAY SAFETY
RECORD SHATTERED
Few Fatalities Despite the Dam
gers That Lurk in the
Tube system.

New York's subway has been re-
marKabiy free from fatal accidents.
Although many have died in cave-ins
during construction work or by leap
ing or falling from station platforms,
instances in which death has come 10
passengers actually in the trains are
rare. In the more than eleven years
of the subway's operation there has
been no accident even approXlmaung
the Partisan subway holocaust OF
August. 1903, in which eighty persons
lost their lives.
The biggest accident during the con
struction of the present subway, des-
tined TO be dwarfed eleven years later
by cave-in during the building OF
the new system. occurred on January
27. 1902. On this occasion, following
explosions at Park av. and 4lst ST.,
six men died and considerable damage
was done TO the Grand Union and
Murray Hill hotels. Two months lateT
three houses caved in at Park av. ana
55th ST.
One man was killed and three IN
iured in a crash in the Brooklyn TUBE
on September 20, 1905.
Fire near the Mott av. station OF
the Lenox az. branch resulted IN the
colTding of two trains on June l.
rofO One car was thrown from the
rails manic followed, and dozens OF
nersons were overcome. There were
no fatalities.
800 Trapped in Tube.
An accident not unlike that OF yes
terday occurred on December q i'lo'
when 800 passengers were held III
DARKNESS under the East River for an
hour after collision.
Until Yesterday the worst traihc tie
I'D in the city's history was that which
occurred on January q, 1914. On TINS
occasion TWO accidents delayed hun
dreds Of thousands Of passengers in the
subway and elevated trains for hours;
The axle of a car in LenoX av. local
rrapped at the crossover at goth ST.
tving up the subway for more than an
bopr. An 81" accident completed the
naturalization Of traffic.
Passengers and frCmen were I'M
perilled when fire in the Lenox av.
subway followed the collision OF a
shuttle and a work train at 142d st. on
September so, 1914.
At the time Of the Paris tube acct
dent. Just before the opening OF the
subway here. +. p. Bryan, general man
ager of the lnterborough, said such an
accident could not happen in the New
York tube. Most of those who died IN
Paris were suffocated.
"The New York subway is close to
the surface Of the street. said Mr..
BRYAN. "and the air from outside has a
free circulation through it. The sta
lions are close together, and there viii
be room in case Of accidents for people

Petrocrad. Jan. 6.--The Russians
with all their other fronts to cover
have found another army with which to
take the offensive against tho German
nosition at Mlawa. on the Fast Prus-
sian frontier, and to-nights statement
from the General Staff reports the
capture Of village on the road to
that town.
The Germans are still hammering at
the Russian line drawn directly across
the roads to Warsaw from the west,
but. il is reported. with less force be-
hind them. In Western Galicia. how
ever, where they have reinforced the
Austrians, they have held up the Rus
sian advance near Gorlice.
In Southern Poland wet weather has

Hold Road to Pennsylvania.
The Russians continue TO drive the
Austrians through the snow-coveredi
masses of the Carpathians and out OF
Bukowina, where they have seized two
towns which command a direct ROAD
into Pennsylvania.
The text of the official statement
from the General staff in the Mlawa
region, issued tonight, follows:
"Our troops on January made q
sudden attack against the village oil
RoZrowa, to the west Of the road from
Przasnysz to Mlawa, near Groudousk.
The enemy, who occupied this village,
were almost entirely bayonetted. We
also took some prisoners.
con the left bank of the Nlstula the
usual cannonading and rife fire are
continuing. Fighting Of secondary I'M
portance is proceeding in the region
of Borjimow and near the Moghely
farm.
I'm Galicia the situation is un-
changed.
"Our offensive is proceeding in Buko-
wilma. where we have occupied Sypot
and Kameral, south of Seletin, and
Hlischestie, on the roads TO Gura HUI
mora and Pleskatchik. On January q
after an engagement, we occupied Gura
Humora and Boukschoia. The latter
two places are situated on the best and
most direct route to Pennsylvania by
way of Bukowina.'
Przemysl Sortie Shattered.
The "Novoe Vremya" says that re-
cent sortie by the Austrian garrison
which is defending Przemysl, the date
of which is not given, resulted in the
complete humiliation OF the Austrian
force.
The sortie was preceded by an extend
ed cavalry reconnaissance. Then Aus
trian infantry advanced in force in the
direction of a woods near the city. The
Russians opened fire, but the Austrians
rushed forward and gained the cover
of the woods. They continued to push
forward, and the Russians permitted
them to advance close to their posi-
tions before making serious effort to
halt them.
With the fighting thus at close range
the Russians opened up terrific fire
from rifles and machine guns.

Spraying Fluids Have No ~ Effect, 70
the Assertion Made by Eminent
zooionist.

Spraying fluids used on orchard
trees do not kill the birds as wen
as the bugs. Prof. H. A. Surface, state
zoologist of Pennsylvania, recently de-
clared In an effort to upset theory
encouraged In some important circles.
This authoritative statement from
Professor Surface ought to be regard
ed as conclusive and set at rest the
doubts OF many readers Of this page.
Il have watched this subject with
the greatest care in thousands of
sprayed orchards In Pennsylvania"
the noted BIOLOGIST said, land / am
prepared to say with certainty that
never have known of case of q
bird being killed by spraying or hav-
ing been found dead under circum-
stances that Justify the suspicion that
this was the cause of It's death.
I'VE have examined the stomach Of
dead birds and have found no evidence
of arsenic to which their death could
be attributed.
Il live in the midst of one of the
largest orchards In Pennsylvania,
which has been sprayed frequently,
and 1t is full Of birds nests. am
sure that If spraying were destructive
to birds they would not be nesting in
this orchard.
1T Is well known that the amount
Of arsenic necessary to kill an insect
will not affect or KIN bird. and also
the birds will not eat dead insects. It
would be necessary for the bird to eat
great many beetles to take enough
poison to affect 1t In the least"

10 MAKE AIRsHIp INVISIBLE
Inventors @ Work on Project That
Would Seem TO Present Some
DifnoultIea.

Tho newest idea In the construction
Iof eeroplanes. especially for use In
war time, y to render them ae nearly
transparent a. possible. 10 this end
studies are now being made Of cell
luloids and other materials which
might possibly b. utilized as wings.
and which would Re sufficiently trans
] parent to make them less conspicuous
IN the SKY than are materials now In
use.
While the primary object In making
aeropianes transparent is to prevent
them from being seen by the enemy,
Il would have an added advantage In
permitting the aviator to see in all
directions, and thus render bis afr
scout work more efficient. Several
machines have been put into operation
within the last three months which
are equipped with transparent wings
Of unindammable celluloid and are al
most invisible when q few hundred
feet In the air.
4 new munling boz has also been
devised which serves to still further
deaden the sound and thus enables
the operator to get close to the enemy
without his presence being detected.
The substitution OF the specially pre-
pared celIuloid for the canvas is ex-
] pected to mark . distinct advance in
