"CATACOMBS" CITY
GAINS IN GOTHAM
New Radio Center to Have
Extensive Underground
Business Development.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 12.-Radio is
extending the area of New Yorks
''catacombs."
Before the announcement that the
$3.50, 900, 900 Radio City" planned for
uptown Gotham would contain not only
q city in the clouds but another under
the ground, New York already had quite
q city beneath the surface of the earth.
It is now possible to buy almost any
thing except house and lot without
coming to the surface. Carpenters
tools, clothing flowers, groceries, shoes,
shaves, haircuts, tobaccos, ice, cream
sodas, toys-all may be had In the
labyrinth Of shops that make up the
underground city in the Hudson River
Terminal, downtown, connecting with
the subway and the Hudson River
tubes, leading to Jersey.
Two Levels of Shops.
This largest of the "catacomb" cities
Of Manhattan, up to now, has two levels
and as many shops and stores as a
good sized Midwestern county seat. It
covers the area beneath two whole city
squares.
other subterranean "cities" include a
large one at the uptown Hudson Ter
ninal, at Broadway and Thirty-third
street: a very large one AT the tIaHu
Central Station and lesser cities" at
Times Square and the Pennsylvania
Station.
These are the spillways of the great
food of 4,000,00 human beings that
pour through the subway turnsttles OF
New York every day, crowding into the
little island that once sold for $24, &C
cording to the tale. Because OF the
crowds that pass they are preferred po-
sitions, in real estate and mercantile
sense.
Away from Transit Lines.
The new subterranean section Of the
uptown radio city" will not depend
upon the subway for its population. 1t
will be, for the present, entirely away
from any rapid transit system.
It's patrons will be the n1tnions OF
thought and harmony flashing through
the ether and the searchers after en-
tertainment who will crowd into the three
theaters Of the new city" This I'M
derground city viii have garages, serv-
ice platforms, arcades and shops of all
kinds. There will he two levels, one at
II feet and the other at "a feet below
the ground. Through the subterfanean
city the whole of the radio city,"
extending to SIS stories above the sur
face, will be "serviced" Somewhere
near 1000 cars can be taken care Of in
its garages.
The new city" will cover nearly three
city blocks.

same discussion as before and under
the condition that such assignment,
when 1t came, would be only temporary
We then took up the question of
tanks, to find, not at all to my sur
prise, that the British now said they
could not spare any heavy tanks, not
wtthstanding the understanding at the
conference July "a that they would be
able to give us some heavy tanks when
we nesded them. Foch said the French
would let us have five battalions of
French tanks, three with French per-
sonnet and two to be manned by Amer
leans. / later sent my tank COM
mander, Brig. Gen. Rockenbach, to
confer with the British In an endeavor
to obtainN some equitable allotment of
heavy tanks, but without success.
The shortage in tanks made it nee
essary to plan for greater artillery or
other preparation to overcome obstacles
such as barbed wire entanglements and
concrete machine gun shelters or pill
boxes, as they were called. Steps had
already been taken to procure an ex-
ira supply OF wire cutters, and the in
terest was such that various other
means were improvised by engineers
and by the troops themselves to enable
them to cross the sea of entanglements
on the st. Mihiel front.

inducing a group of SergeantS and
other subordinate officers to re-

small part of the crews to mutiny.
Then, through audacity and by
force, they dominated and over
came the rest.
At midnight of August 81, the
mutineers surprised and arrested
Admiral Campos, chief in COM
mand of the active fleet; Commo-
dore Hozven, and the commanders
and officers of all the warships
anchored in Coquimbo harbor.
The officers we're asleep in their
beds when the mutineers over
powered them.
Widen Complaints
At the beginning, the rebels sub
mitted complaints only against
the proposed reduction of pay,
the quality of food served them,
and on similar matters. Later,
however, they proposed changes
of political and economic char.
acter which showed their lack OF
knowledge of the facts and a
visible discordance of views among
the promoters of the revolt.
There was organized an execu-
tive board entitled the general
staff" of the crews, and this board
sent messages proclaiming their
ideas of a social revolution and
internationalism, which are COM
pletely contrary to the unfailing
patriotism of which Chilean sea-
men have always given proof.
Clerk Led Revolt
The situation existing on board
the warshipS reveals the fact that
the command was not in the
hands of any navy officer or mem
ber of the crews, although this
seems incredible. 1t was in the
hands of a man named Furriel,
who was an amanuensis, or clerk,
of the La Tore. He assumed for
himself the title of commander.
in-chief.
The country now has returned
to tranquility and Is showing its
ardent cooperation with the
government. We may say that
there has never been witnessed a
closer union between the governed
and those governing them than
now exists.
