Surface cars we're as scarce and ss
unpopular in New York yesterday as
they had been on Saturday. Two po-
licemen guarded every car that left the
barns of the green car system, but the
uniform and ready nightstiek did not
seem 70 have a soothing effect on pros
pective passengers. About the same
service was given in sll four of the
strike-stricken boroughs; as before, the
cars were locked up in the barns at 3
o'clock at night.
The green, blue and red cars in Man
haitian tho cars of the Union Railway
Company in The Bronx, and the sur
face lines in Queens ceased TO operate
AZ the same hour last night. The
Staten Island company attempted TO
run only three cars on a shuttle line
between Midland and South Beaches.
Even these sought safety in the barns
carly in the evening. The only sur
face cars operated last night, as on
Saturday night, in the entire city were
the B. R. 7. cars, the greensboro and
Manhattan Bridge locals and the troll
levs on the Jamaica line Of the Man

yesterday to maintain this morning
something near a normal service on
all lines The company spent hours
training upward of $50 strike-breaking
motormen to run cars, preparatory to
adding them to the regular crews this
morning. Each company affected by
the strike operated less cars yesterday
than on Saturday. 1t is this fact-in
spite of the two patrolmen assigned to
each car the service was scarcely more
than 40 per cent of normal-that led
TO the pressure brought upon the trac-
tion officials of the green cars yester-
day TO come TO terms with the strik-
ers.
Besides, although two policemen did
accompany each green car, the company
shut down it's service soon after sun
down. It was then especially that New
York walked of necessity. Since the
labor trouble really hit New York no
company affected has attempted TO OPP
crate a car after o'clock at night.
The police are pleased with this plan,
but the streetcar travelling public is
not.
Thousands of Sunday picnickers who
had the temerity to take holiday at
the city's nearby pleasure places came
back TO town last night to face jam
on the subway and elevated roads that
far exceeded any rush hour crowds;
Extra trains and cars were operated
by the Interborough from the Battery,
but the added facilities were scarcely
more than a drop in the bucket.

THIEF CAUGHT AND SHOT
ON ASTOR'S ESTATE
Relieved to Have Robbed Rhine
beck Homes.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Aug. 6.-After
revolver duel lasting fifteen minutes on
the Woods Road in Ferncliffe, Vincent
Astor's Rhinebeck estate, early to-day,
the man believed by the Duchess Coun-
ty authorities TO be responsible for the
recent burglaries at the mansions OF
wealthy residents of Rhinebeck fell
from two wounds in the abdomen in
ficted by Deputy Sheriff Michael T..
Baumbush and James Downing, pri-
vate detective.
The injured man, who refuses to
make any statement, is tonight dying
from his wounds in a Poughkeepsle
hospital. He said he was Fritz
Cramer. thirty-six years old, of the
Bowery, New York, but Sheriff Conklin
believes the name fictitious.
The officers had been placed by
Sheriff Conklin to watch over some
plunder hidden in a clump of bushes
on the Douglas Merritt estate by the
robber who visited last week the Rhine
beck residences of H. f. Montgomery
and w. Starr Miller, of New York.

Flames Sweep Lehigh
Yards a Half Mile
from Peninsula.
NAPHTHA IGNITES;
$20O,000 DAMAGE
GreenviIle Residents Rush
for Safety, Fearing New
BOmbardment.

Burning freight cars in the crowded
Claremont yards Of the Lehigh Valley
Railway, less than half a mile from
where Black Tom still shoulders,
threw a glare over lower Manhattan
and the Upper Bay last night There
were numerous explosions, and when
the flames reached an empty naphtha
tank car at $40 there was a detona-
tion that struck the Greenville section
Of Jersey City with panic The dam
age is estimated at from sl50,000 to
100000
More than 1000 loaded freight and
tank cars have been shunted into the
explosion cut off the yards there.
Many OF them contained grain. For
two hours, while Jersey City firemen
sought in vain to get permission to
stretch their lines across the main
tracks of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, trainmen of the Lehigh
fought the flames.
An engine, which has been doing
patrol duty for the last week TO guard
against fires, sounded the alarm. A
medley of whistles joined, as switch
engines and those attached to way
and through trains caught the blast.
All Lehigh trains within hearing
stopped with a jerk. Their crews un-
coupled the engines and fastened to
the Claremont yards.
Engineer Saves Cars.
Within five minutes. a score of en-
gines were lodging about on sidings,
noeing strings Of loaded cars to
safety. When at last space had
been cleared about the blazing group,
Ernest Sullivan backed his engine
straight at four burning cars that
were coupled together.
+. J. Connors, his fireman, ran ahead,
guiding the locomotive with his arms
as calmly as though the heat were not
blistering his face. He made the hitch
and lesped back into the cab. While
George Coumpot, brakeman. and
Michael Burgess, a conductor. sprayed
the nearest car with live steam from
the back of the tender, Sullivan start
ed ahead. He drew the four blazing
cars beneath a water tank. and, when
the water was pouring from the spout,
pulled them slowly back and forth be-
meath the stream until the fire was out.
Incandiar;or, Ia
John Hayes, of a Randolph Street,
Jersey City. was one of the first to
sight the fire. AS he ran TO IL, he met
two well-dressed men Of foreign ap-
pearance. They began to run and were
quickly out of sight. Hayes thinks
they were Austrians.
Two of the cars destroyed contained
nitric acid The report was current
among railroad employees that the fire
had been kindled by an incendiary, who
thought the nitric acid was picric acid
intended for the ammunition factories
of the Allies.
Hundreds Flee in Panic.
Only about a quarter of mile from
where the twenty cars shot a roaring
blaze into the sky are the works of the
Eagle Oil Company. At sight of the
glowing heavens and sound of the ex-
plosions that came thick and fast, with
the tank car filled with naphtha gas as
a climax, Greenville became convinced
another disaster was upon il. With
out waiting TO lock their doors, hor.e-
holders seized what possessions were
most handy and fed 10 a safe distance.

BRITISH TRAP
TURKS AT SUEz
Rout and Hurl Back
Ottoman Drive on
the Canal.
IRY Cable 70 The Trtbune |

London, Aug. 6.-The second great
Turkish thrust at the Suez Canal, of
which so much was expected in Con-
stantinople and the capitals Of the Cen
tral Powers, has been smashed by the
British commander, General Sir Archi-
bald Murray.
The German Offered Turkish army
Of $4,000 swept west along the Medi
terranean coast last Thursday, pushed
beyond Katia in the following twenty
four hours and by Saturday had flung
the British troops back TO Romani.
twenty-five miles from Port Said. In
thirty-six hours they advanced nearly
eight miles.
Late Friday the British resistance
stiffened. The right flank of the Otto
man columns was caught under the fire
of Allied warships in the Bay Of Tina,
and the British land forces took advan-
tage of the confusion in the enemy's
ranks. The Turks were checked for the
time being.
A strong frontal attack on General
Murray's army was then made by the
Turks, and while the British were en-
gagged in rolling back this wave Turk
ish detachments worked their way
around the southern flank. The Brit
ish gave way before both frontal and
flank assaults. Then the British COM
mander ordered the mounted Australian
and New Zealand troops TO give way.
The enemy, interpreting this as a sign
of British demoralization, swung for
ward in hot pursuit.
Before they could realize the danger
the Ottoman forces along the whole
southern wing became involved in the
sand dunes General Murray sprung
the trap. The British forces along the
entire line jumped to the attack.
The Turkish lines halted, wavered,
and then broke. The Anzacs fell on
their rear and the retreat became
rout. More than $500 unwounded
Turkish and German prisoners were
swept behind the British ranks, includ-
ing many German ofhcers. Guns were
abandoned by the score. The pursuit
by the British is continuing.
The British report on the Suez fight
says:
'The general officer commanding in
chief in Egypt reports under date Of
August 5, 11:l5 p. m, the following
further details of the fighting in the
vicinity of Romani on August 3:
THE enemy made frontal attack
on the British intrenchments, in con-
junction with flank attack around
the southern flank, employing $4,000
men and heavy howitzers for the
operation.

Rumania's Dilemma.
the Review Of Reviews.

Va
Like Bulgaria. Rumania is only in
directly affected by Italy's entrance in
to the European war. though indirect
effects sometimes have far reaching
consequences. Rumania's position is
much like that of the traditional ass
between the two bales of hay. To the
west Of her lies Austro-Hungarian
Pennsylvania. to the east Russian Bess-
arabia. both of these provinces jnhab-
tied predominantly, though by no
means exclusively. by Rumanians. OF
course. Rumania would like them both.
but, since this is impossible, she has
been cautiously waiting to see which
appeared the safer prey.
Last winter. when the Russians
seemed about to overrun Hungary, Ru-
mania visibly stirred for a spring at
Pennsylvania. Later on, the Teutonic
victories at her very gates gave her
pause. Today she is closely watching
the effect Of 1taly's onslaught upon
Austria-Hungary. She is also interest,"
ed in possible happenings at the Oar
danelles.
Rumania. like Bulgaria, would great
~ dislike to see Russia at Constants
hople. She would then lie souarely in
Russia's overland path, and, should
Austria-Hungary give way to a Slav-
rec Central Europe, Rumanta, even
W. - al WOuA0 O0 OUI OH
isolated islet in the Slav ocean. OF
course. there are strong internal cross
currents which may modify her deci-
sion. But. looking at the matter from
the standpoint of purely foreign policy,
we may expect something like this: if
Constantinople falls and the Teutonic
allies fail in their stroke against Rus
STA. Rumania will almost certainly
strike for Pennsylvania. If CONSTANT
nople stands and Russia crumples up
in Galicia and Poland. Rumanla will
as certainly strike for Bessarabia. In
any other event. Rumania will probably
continue her present neutrality, al
though. as I have said, there are in
ternal factors which may tip the scales
one way or the other.
Such are the main political possibilf-
ties involved in 1taly's entrance into
the European war. They are, as we
have seen. both far reaching and com
pick. What the actual results will be,
only time and the fortune Of Italian
arms car disclose.

Duane and Jennie trotted away into
the gathering twilight. AT the moment
an insistent thought bothered Duane.
Both Luke Stevens and the rancher
Andrews had limited to Duane to Kill q
man named Brown. Duane wished with
all his heart they had not mentioned
1t, let alone taken for granted the ex-
ecution OF the deed. What a bloody
place Texas was! Men who robbed
and men who were robbed both wanted
murder. 1t was in the spirit of the
country. Duane certainly meant to
avoid ever meeting this Rodney Brown.
And hat very determination showed
Duane how dangerous he really was
to men and to himself. Sometimes he
had a feeling of how little stood be-
tween his sane and better self and a
self utterly wild and terrible. He rea-
soned that only intelligence could save
him-only a thoughtful understanding
of his danger and a hold upon some
IDEAL.
Their he fell into low conversation
with Jennie. holding out hopeful views
of her future, and presently darkness

his horse had no difficulty in keeping
to the road. Duane was bothered by
the blackness of the night. Travelling
fast was impossible, mi any moment
he might miss the road that led off to
the left. So he was compelled to give
all his attention to peering into the
thick shadows ahead. AS good luck
would nave it he. came to higher
ground where there was less mesquite.
and therefore not such impenetrable
dorkness; and at this point he came
to where the road split.
Once headed in the right direction,
he felt easier in mind. To his annoy
ance, however, a fine. misty rain set in.
Jennie was not we'll dressed for wet
weather; and. for that matter, neither
was he. His coat, which in that dry
climate he seldom needed, was tied be-
hind his saddle, and he put it on Jen-
