RAIN, HAIL AND SNOW ACCOM- PANIED BY THUNDER AND
 LIGHTNING.
WIRE SERVICE CRIPPLED
Storm Had It's Center in Massachu. setts, Where Much Damage Was Done-Number of Barges
 Were Lost.

New York.-One of the wierdest storms the east has seen in many ears-rain-hail-an snow accom- panied by thunder and lightning and gale that reached a maximum yeloc- ity of 90 miles an hour-descended from the northwest as the aftermath Of Christmas fog. It indirectly caused seven deaths in this city, car ried down telegraph wires, damaged shipping, crippled railroad traffic and caused considerable property damage.
 The phenomenon of thunder and lightning in the midst of driving snow awakened New Workers at the helght of the storm. A gale from the south accompanied by rain had been blowing during the night, but the tenn perature dropped during the early morning hours, changing the rain to hail and then to snow. The local weather bureau reported a total pre- cipitation of 5.2 inches, of which 2.S was snow.
 The wind shifted to the northwest and increased in violence, reaching it's 90mile intensity soon after carrying off the storm clouds. The gale con tinued, however, hurling signs and copngs to the streets and demolish- ing several partly built structures.
 The storm had its center in Massa- chusetts, the weather bureau reported, and the telegraph companies said their service in New England had been badly crippled, although communication had not been entirely lost with the princi- pal cities. Several of the land lines of the cable companies between New York and Nova Scotia were put out of business.
 Shipping of all kinds scurried to shel- ter to escape the heavy seas and sew eral ocean liners dropped anchor un- til the gale abated. Twenty-Five per sons aboard 15 canal boats driven ashore off Sandy Hook were rescued by the coast guard crew there. as- sisted by the crew of the coast guard cutter Seneca. Those saved included the wives and children of the boats. captains. James O'Neil, in command of one of the of the boats, was knocked into the sea by flying board and drowned.
 barge in tow of the tug Seneca sprang leak and sank l. miles east of Ambrose Lighthouse. Seven Erie Railroad barges loaded with automo- piles sank in the East River.

RUSSIA TAXES HAND
 IN BALKAN AFFAIRS
LONDON INTERESTED IN REPORT. ED BOMBARDMENT OF
 VARNA.
HEAVY LOSSES SUFFERED
French Operations at Most Places Are Hampered Greatly by Bad Weather, But Cons derabie Portion of Ger
 man Works Were Carried.

London.-The Teutonic powers are the moral effect produced by the with drawal of British forces from Galli- poll Peninsula and to be attempting once more to swing Greece and Rou- mania to their side in the Balkan ope. ratiOnS. If the news of the lombard ment of Narna is correct, Russia is losing no time in an attempt to fore, stall these efforts. From several sources, all unofficial, London has heard of the bombardment of the Bull garian port. Various dispatches state that the Russian warships are occom- panied by fleet of transports which, according to the morning papers, al ready has landed a sufficient force to hold the town.
 Although the Greek elections have given a large majority to former Pre- mier Gounarls, powerful member of the present cabinet, who is not over friendly 10 the entente powers, it is not believed here the change will have much of an effect on the attitude of Greece, which is now much more agi- tated by the possibility that Bulgarians will cross the frontier than by the for nation of a new government.
 Along the western line, according to British official reports, the Germans suffered heavy losses while exposing their forces in an attempt to occupy craters which their mines had opened along the front near Armentieres. French operations at most places are hampcred greatly by bad weather, but considerable portion of the German works on Hartmanns-Weilerko has been carried.
 The Russians are reported to have occupied Rum. which indicated they are making an important advance in to the interior of Persia.
 Although the question of conscrip- ton figured largely in the army debate in the House of Commons, it was only an incidental part of the discussion. The country awaits with keen interest the debate which is certain to follow presentation to the House of the earl of Derby's figures on the attestation plan.

COMMONS TO ADD
 MILLION MORE MEN
PREMIER ASQUITH DECLARES THAT CONSCRIPTlON HAS
 NOT ARRIVED.

London.-Moving in the House Of Commons new vote for an addition al million men, Premier Asquith made general survey of the overwhelming theater of war and the increasing re- sponsibility placed on this country for providing arms and men.
 Great Britain he said. already has a fighting force in the various theaters of 1,250,000 men, and as the wastage is enormous, the country must aim at getting every man of military age who is physically qualified.
 The premier pointed out that what ever system was adopted to obtain the services of these men, deductions must be made before it would be pos sible to arrive at the recruitable max imum which the country must seek 10 obtain. He regretted he was unable to give the results of the earl Of Der by's recruiting system. The figures had not reached him until last night, and inferences to be drawn required careful attention.
 Applications to enlist under the Der by plan had been mace from distant Hongkong and Rhodesia.
 This is a commentary on the leth- argy of those at home who have not responded to the call' he said. Let those who have hung back for good or bad reasons seize the opportunity even now of following the example periodically set them by the great m.ss of the people.
 A large proportion of the wounded, the premier said, was able to return to duty. but in addition to keeping up the present armies to their nominal strength men were wanted for new formations and to increase the aggre- gate of Great Britain's fighting forces.
 Every available man should be put in the field so far as was consistent with provision for national necessities, including munitions and the vast field of employment upon the continued working of which the national life de- pended.

DISAVOWAL ASKED
 IN ANCONA CASE
SECOND NOTE SENT TO VIENNA CLAIMS LINER TORPEDOED
 AFTER STOPPED.

Washington.-The United States contends, in its second note to Aus. tria, on the Ancona case, made pub lice here, that the official admission of the Austrian admiralty that the liner was torpedoed after she had stopped and while passengers still were aboard, alone is sufficient for the American demand for disavowal. reparation and punishment of the sub- marine commander.
 The note renews the demands of the United States and says the details to which Austria referred in it's reply 60 the first note are in no way essential to the discussion. It emphasizes the continuance of good relations depends upon the action of the Austrian gov ernment.
 Cable dispatches indicate that the note already has been delivered to the Austrian foreign office The text of the note which Ambassador Penfield was instructed to deliver to the Aus tro-l1ungarian minister of foreign af. fairs reads as follows:
 "On November 15. 1915, Baron Zwiedenek the charge daffaires of the imperial and royal government at Washington transmitted to the De. partment of State report of the Aus tro-Hungarian admiralty with regard 10 the sinking of the steamship An. coma. in which it was admitted that the vessel was torpedoed after her en- zines had been stopped and when pas seagers were still on board This ad mission alone is, in the view of the govel ament of the United States. suf- ficient to fix upon the commander of the submarine which fired the torpe- do the responsibility for having will fully violated the recognized law of ma. tions and entirely disregarded those humane principles which every belige- rent should observe in the conduct of war at sea. : .
 The rules of international law and the principles of humanity which were thus wilfully violated by the com. mander of the submarine have been so long and so universally recognized and are so manifest from the stand point of right and justice that the gov erment of the United States does not feel called upon to debate them and does not understand that the imperial and royal government questions or disputes them.
 The government of the United States therefore finds no other course open to it but to hold the imperial and royal government responsible for the act or it's naval commander and to renew the definite but respectful demands made in its communication of the 9th of December 1915. It sin cerely hopes that the foregoing state. ment of it's position will enable the imperial and royal government to Der. ceive the justice of those demands and to comply with them in the same spirit of frankness and with the same con- cern for the good relations now exist ing between the United States and Austria Hungary which prompted the government of the United States 10 make them.
